Don't forget the screaming 7,000 RPM redline!!! Other midsize V6 pick-ups don't even come close when compared to this latest iteration of the solid and proven VQ series engine.

You can't go wrong with a Nissan Frontier- tough, reliable, capable, and even better- affordable! The best midsize deal on the market!

Probably the best midsize truck review Ive seen! Love the simplicity. I will be visiting the Nissan lot soon. Way cool

I like it. Now Nissan needs to close the back end and make an Xterra out of it.

Great review. I'm still driving my 2010 SE 4x4 Crew Cab Frontier with 207,000 miles. It still runs great with just basic maintenance and changing out the usual wear and tear parts . I test drove a new Frontier and love it. I'll be getting one in the spring.

You don't need fancy tech on your truck, other than reliable one. That how most truck manufacturers put in some useless and unnecessary tech to drive up the truck price just for squeeze extra profit from buyers. There nothing wrong to be basic. Anyway pretty honest and straightforward review. T

Excellent video. I agree about the power of simplicity. Thanks for the informative review.

To be honest, I got the SV model back in April. Mine came with the bigger bed and it came from the factory spray in bed liner and the hitch, with the 4 and 7 adaptor plug in. I do love my Truck. It’s been great! I also upgraded the battery. GREAT review Jake!

Got my new SV crew cab here in PA in late April last year, 2600 miles so far. Absolutely awesome so far….love it. Towed my Road King in my enclosed 10’ trailer out to Pittsburgh for a weekend last summer, truck didn’t break a sweat. That’s one of the reasons I bought it. My ‘09 Acadia would have to pull over and cool down the trans on hot days. No issues with the Nissan. Not yet any way!

I just sold my 2005 D40 Frontier SE Crew Cab V6 6MT 2WD this past Wednesday. For the first-year of the model cycle, it was fantastically reliable -- the most durable midsize pick-up workhorse I've ever owned. It never, ever let me down. The VQ40DE still quietly purred before selling it to a former Tacoma owner. That was a selling point for him. He was surprised at the rear disc brakes, as he hated working on his Taco's rear drum brakes. Sadly, his Tacoma blew a head gasket two days prior to him buying my Fronty. He texted me yesterday raving about how he loves breaking the rear end loose in 1st and 2nd gears!!! He's definitely enjoying the ride! Long live the Frontier!!!

Great video and review. Want lots more of these.

Frontiers are the best midsize trucks love the new models.

Thank you Jake. Good review. I appreciate the honest review.

Just bought a 2022 frontier, good price 👍. Had a Tacoma for 6 years, l like the Nissan engine and transmission better than the Tacoma. Plus it is a simple design and maintenance is easy on it. Love the way it looks and drives. I highly recommend this truck.

Beautiful truck! I love my 2019 Frontier P4X. My dad adores his 2024 P4X he just got. Love Frontiers.

Great review Jake!!! The Frontier takes a page from the sales-leading Tacoma and betters it with a rugged FULLY-BOXED FRAME, rear DISC BRAKES, an ALL-STEEL BED and more HORSEPOWER/TORQUE -- instead of the Tacoma's FLEXY OPEN C-CHANNEL frame, rear DRUM BRAKES and cheaper, weaker and crack-prone PLASTIC/FIBERGLASS composite bed (the latter which requires replacement as a whole when damaged).

I have a crewcab SV 2022 model 14K miles and no problem. Added steel rails and step, tow hitch step frontier letter inserts, and tonneau cover it looks great

Fun fact. I own a 22 pro4x. Bought a trailer brake controller and adapter. The adaptor was for an 04-08 frontier. Still worked! No splicing! Nissan does think some of this stuff through. Good, honest review. I will say the upgraded climate control is better than the base. (I have driven them all, I work for Nissan as a tech) they are not bad trucks, you get a lot for what you pay for.

Finally, a review that discusses the fit of a car seat for a child! Thank you.

Good owner review! I love my 2021 SV Frontier.

Had mine for 9 months now,,, long box with spray on bed liner sv package very nice truck highly recommend

I like the new redesigned Frontier, they look much better as well. I opted for a 2021 Tacoma last year and love it. Mine is a V6 with 6 ft bed and has tow capacity of 6800lbs, payload 1400 lbs. The extra bed space has come in very handy for me. I know some folks with the new Frontier and they do look like a solid truck as well! Great review!

Great review and very interesting 👍

Price alone, this purchase is a no-brainer. Brand loyalty is over-rated.

Really good review. Thanks

My 22 SV is awesome. I love it. I put a two inch lift already from All Dogs Offroad.

Frontier= fully boxed titan frame ( ability to titan swap suspension and engine) Dana 44 rear diff, Dana front diff, spicer transfer case with almost class leading 60:1 crawl ratio, rear disc brakes, built in USA and strong naturally aspirated V6. Tacoma= c channel frame prone to rust failure, crappy seating position, overpriced, class least crawl ratio 33:1 and now built in Mexico.

Had mine just about a month, got the Pro4X. I'm very happy with it. Really lucky getting mine. Went to order it expecingt 4 to 6 months before I get it. As I ordered it the salesperson stopped, excused himself, and came back a few minutes later telling me that they have one, exactly like the one I was ordering, currently on order for their inventory. I could reserve it for $500.00. I put down $2000.00. To my surprise, that weekend the salesman called and said my new truck was in. I went in Monday, and picked it up. I would like to get better tires for off road, but other than that. I'm happy. My Pro4X has Andriod audio. It literally takes over the functions of the phone. I'm okay with that.

It's so nice Nissan Frontier...Wow!

I like the Frontier alot. If my '14 Tacoma wasn't so good, I'd be trading it in, on a Frontier SV 4x4. No turbos or hybrids for me. 👍

Yes it has Android Auto. Trailer brake controller plugs right in. Pro4X also has a Dana 44 rear end.

I'm one of those owners of the "garbage, throw away CVT Altimas" you speak of, and I think you (and a lot of other people) probably over-exaggerate the truth a little. Love or hate the CVT, It's not a "garbage throw away vehicle" and has actually been very reliable, and I know other people that have had long lasting ones. I actually trust it more than our early Toyota Venza. Anyway, thanks for sharing. I'm considering this vs a gen 3 Taco.

I've purchased my pro4x with factory drop in bedliner a month ago.

Agree, the hydraulic assist PS is a great feature for a truck and (on my '23 Pro-4X) they use nice 17" rims vs. 20 on most full size trucks anymore. My '23 does have a lane departure warning but no lane departure keep. It warns you with a vibrating steering wheels, it does NOT try and pull you back into the lane like my GMC will do. Noisy engine? Not true on mine, very quiet. They are Direct Injected.

Sweet truck for sure

My S trim came with the drop in bed liner. Bought it in May 2022

I use my 2022 to tow my 18ft dove tail car hauler and race car. It does the job no problems. Two things I don't like are the adaptive cruise control and the nanny tech package. I turn off what I could. The back up sensor should go off per press and run instead of when you shift into reverse. You can guess how annoying it is to maneuver a trailer with it beeping. In summary, the truck part is good, the tech part is not good. Recommended upgrades:bars/running boards, floor liners, bed cover.

Great truck.. just the halogen headlights and fog lights are horrible. Hoping I can just put a pair of 9007 silverstar bulbs in painlessly, really don’t need LED.

I bought my 22 Frontier in June got about 800 miles on it. It has the technology package with sensors all around front, back & on the side’s it is the S model up-grade. I’ve changed the medal rims & put aluminum rims on it looks much better. All-n-all I would buy another one without a second thought. Traded 2018 frontier in on it I got 20 thousand out of it because it only had 32 thousand miles on it. It’s the 3rd one I’ve owned & don’t think I’ll be buying any other kind of truck. I’ve got a cold air intake,upgraded exhaust system & a throttle body spacer on ordered going to push that 310 hp up to about 350 hp with about 310 foot pound of tork.

love my 22 frontier. def gonna lift it a few inches and add the steps on the sides of it. some new year resos 😂😂

Good review for simple truck. I wish you had the numbers correct. I'm with you though. Simple cheaper truck.

I like the rear head wing:)

I had a Ford Maverick ordered too. I now have a 2023 Pro-X.

This is my first push to start vehicle, does everyone else’s frontier make like a slight clicking noise when hit the push to start, when turning off the vehicle?

If you think the 2022 model is great, the 2024 SV is quite capable. I snagged one off the lot and day 1 took it off roading with the factory SV tires. Sunk it to just below the headlights on accident and it climbed out of the “puddle” in 4 Lo as if I were driving up my driveway. Then I took it through sand so loose that if you low crawled you’d create a trench and it maintained course and traction no problem. Also in 4 Lo but again with factory SV tires not rated for off-road play. I can’t get over how exceptionally a factory 4x4 with no off-road amenities can perform so well. I’m almost glad I didn’t get the pro 4x because now I can customize the truck to MY needs off road and save a few bucks doing so. If you’re new to trucks like I am, those shocks on the pro 4x, useless if you put on a 2 inch lift due to sizing issues. What else do you get with the pro 4x? A 360 camera, skid plate, locking rear differential. My wife is my 360 camera, my wife won’t let me scrape bottom so no need for the skid plate, and actual off-road tires with grip can help fill the gap of not having a locking rear differential. I wouldn’t trade this in for a Tacoma TRD if Toyota paid me.

Built-in Canton Mississippi. Titan is in Tennessee

I ordered a 2021 rubber bed mat for a Ranger and it fits my Nissan Frontier perfect

FRAME: Frontier - FULLY-BOXED Tacoma - OPEN C-CHANNEL (weaker, cheaper, rust issues, boxed only under the engine) REAR BRAKES: Frontier - DISCS Tacoma - DRUMS (cheaper, inferior) TRUCK BED: Frontier - ALL-STEEL Tacoma - PLASTIC FIBERGLASS (cheaper, crack-prone, deteriorates over time) V6 HORSEPOWER / TORQUE: Frontier - 310 / 281 Tacoma - 278 / 265

I’m looking at a 2023 Nissan frontier and the bedliner is sprayed on and the Nissans are selling pretty quickly here in Atlanta

Do you ever miss the tiny slider in the middle of the rear glass? I wish the S came with one but I don't think I'd miss it.

Can you give a year and a half update on how the truck has been? I'm considering this exact trim. Thanks!

Have your bedliner sprayed on. I had mine sprayed and its great.

Toyota still has a long ways on their infotainment system. The Frontier is nice since the bed is not as high as the Ranger or Colorado. I'm waiting for the cost to go down. Priced a Pro-4x online at $41k. No one has one the way I want and they are asking at least $46k at most that I have seen.

Well said 👍🏼💪🏼, how zippy does it feel from a dead stop?0-60?

I'm 5'07 and my wife is 5'0, I hope a rear- facing car seat fits with us

I have a 2016 pro 4x and before that a 2011 sv long bed and drove and drive both of them hard. Never a problem what so ever and we have a Nissan SUV and I will never pay for a name but only for reliable proven cars and trucks. Toyota's are good but not any better, I have friends that only drive Toyota's and say the same thing,good but not better.

I'd have bought one already but they wanted a 7k market adjustment then I found another place and they wanted 5k over... I said F it I'll keep running my Tacoma lol

This and the maverick are not in competition. Next.

@ 3:00 I considered a 2022 Frontier SV top to replace my 2016 Pro-4X. I was able to add the spray-in bed liner for $500. I could not add the Utili-Track option. Ironically, the actual Frontier was not available because before a transmission recall resulted in a stop sell being issued on new Frontiers and Titans. I wasn't going to pay the 5K market adjustment anyway but I found a 2020 Frontier Pro-4X with just 2400 miles that was identical to my totaled 2016. Sadly, it is under tranny recall, too.

I drove my Nissan Frontier 2022 from San Diego to Colorado and I was getting 35.7miles per gallon and sometimes more! I like it !

They are nice trucks.

I owned one of the 2022s and I will say the lack of lumbar support in the drivers seat was a huge killer for me if you have any kind of back problems at all the seats are not comfortable for extensive driving. Nissan calls them “zero gravity seats” but I found these seats actually put you in a clam shell seating position you’re driving kind of hunched over. Also the paint chipped off my hood fairly easy only after a couple of thousand miles. I was getting average 17 to 19 MPG city it is a direct injected engine it is powerful and has tons of low torque. I’m a big fan of hydraulic steering but to be honest if you do a lot of city driving you’re gonna notice the heaviness and rigidity of the steering and definitely get a nice little arm workout. Also with the Apple CarPlay anytime I will get an iOS update from Apple I would then have problems until Nissan would send an update to the vehicle this happened several times. All in all it’s a nice vehicle for the price but I did up trading it in for a ridgeline which I’m much happier with. If you’re thinking about one of these I encourage you to maybe rent one or borrow one from a friend before you make that decision there are some shortcomings Nissan already has a recall out on the transmission and has temporarily stopped selling them.

9 speed transmission-best in class horsepower 310. Closest is Chevy/gmc at 308

Just ordered a king cab pro4x in baja storm. I am overly excited.

Good review. If that's an S model though, how did you get it in the green color?? That color isn't available on the base S models.

Which is more useful, the Nissan Frontier or the Ford Maverick? Maybe it's the one you can actually get.

my roommate is going to buy 1 but an extended cab. I tried to talk him into the crew cab but he won't budge.

I don’t understand why people talk about it doesn’t have this it doesn’t have that OK if you’re a truck driver then you don’t need all that crap you talk about just announce you have a steering wheel brakes that’s it do you wanna have all that crap in the vehicle by a car

I just bought 2022 tocoma 4x4 sport l love but I'm second guessing.

Anyone know if three car seats would fit in the back?

I bought both of mine in late 2021 and they both came with spray in bed liners from the factory, so someone lied too you.

Frontiers are built in canton Mississippi..

❤ I have a 2022 Nissan frontier crew cab I’m 6 foot two and it seems to me like the hood does not open far enough and I have 30,000 miles on my truck and I have to replace the hood struts under warranty I do have an appointment for the transmission parking lock to be replaced under manufactures warranty. My trucks been modified like no other don’t get me wrong. I’m not bragging but I have a 200 psi air compressor system on board my truck it’s a shame I can’t post pictures here but anybody that sees within the Tool Box of My Truck with impressed and beyond their imagination I spent about $3300 of equipment that’s in the toolbox in the bed of my truck. ❤ I have air horns in the grill of my truck which you cannot see unless you’re really looking deep into the radiator area and they are extremely loud to wake people up that are doing stupid crap on the freeway like texting on the phone. I have an air pressure gauge inside of the cab of my truck tomorrow to the air pressure in the tank as well as monitoring the air pressure that’s going to the air horns. I have super bright LED brake lights underneath the bed besides the ones that came with the truck. I can light up the face of anybody behind me like a Christmas tree when I step on my breaks ❤ I have superbright LED lights in the grill in front of my airhorns that make sure everybody knows that I’m getting ready to make a turn to the left or the right there’s no mistaking as to whether I’m going to hit my brakes or make a turn. I do like the truck when it comes to changing the oil it’s really easy I like the dash monitoring system where I can program it to remind me at a certain number of miles that it’s time for me to change my oil I get to choose how many miles before I change my oil. I do like the dash as far as it giving me control and ability to monitor the service on my truck. I get to choose what I wanted to tell me not some kind of program. ❤❤ I’m thinking about putting air shocks on the truck that will be tapped into my air compressor system that’s in the bed of my toolbox and I will be able to increase or decrease the pressure to my air shocks from inside of the cab of my truck. I just recently ordered a digital air pressure gauge that will monitor the air pressure in the tank as well as monitoring the air pressure. That’s being released to the air horns that will be very nice. I would love to know where I could get some decent flat runningboards from the front to the back I don’t like the tube type of runningboards

Small is relative comparing 2022 and 1994

9spd trans right?

It’s actually a 9spd, not an 8. Great review though!

If it only came in a manual. I'd take it over a Ford, Chevy, dodge though. And I'd take a nissan titan over a Ford, Chevy, dodge. I wish you many years of trouble free driving!

Just received a recall notice in the mail. My 2022 Frontier can roll away in park, due to an issue with the parking pawl. Nissan is telling customers to use the manual parking brake when parking the truck. They are working on a remedy due sometime in the Fall of 2022. Glad I leased mine…😂

Nissan Pickups are in a league of their own. Their cars suck but their trucks last for ever!!!! I hate to see they are killing the Titan!!

The ONLY thing keeping me from one of these is the direct injection engine. That’s going to cause problems in the future. Looks like I’ll hang on to me ‘15 frontier with the 4.0

What dealership I’m looking to buy at MSRP

this truck has a recall already something on a parking and transmission..

3.0 v6 25+ miles per gallon. Do it Nissan

Those are not built and assembled in Tennessee they are built in Canton Mississippi 👍👍😎

what was your price you got it for?

Find a LineX dealer and get a bedliner installed.

Stop acting like all truck buyers are the same! I've owned trucks for decades and I love the creature comforts. Trucks obviously aren't just utility vehicles anymore. Most people buy them as their daily driver and family hauler, so of course they want the features that you claim no truck buyer cares about. I hate reviews where they try to project their personal values onto the viewer.

The ford maverick doesn’t compare to that the ranger does

You’re wrong about the transmission it’s a nine speed

More in line with the ford ranger than the ford maverick

The Tacoma have allá that

The truck does not compete with a Maveric, it is Eqv to the Ford Ranger. the Mav is a toy compared to this truck, USB - C is what everybody is moving to because the EU mandated it for all the Cell Phones sold there, so all Cell phone makers, incl Apple, have to move to it. they won't make 2 diff phones for US and EU market, that's why it's showing up everywhere.

They are small when you see it up close and personal

Focus on me... Not the truck... LOL

Clunker I had a 2012 frontier gas guzzling pig and that huge fuel tank omg!! Cry every time you fill.up.. rode nice but they need to.go.back.ro.a.4 cyl

Did you guys hear about the recall on the transmission?

My 2022 Nissan Frontier PRO-X is in a recall

USB C will be out dated didnt age well lol. As apple now goes to USB C

Just know there is a recall on a lot of these and the titans for the parking pawl not engaging all the way so be aware of that. They had to put a stop sell on this truck. There’s more details about it but you all can look it up.

What about the longevity of the new Direct Injection engine? This is the only "X" factor that I'm fighting with on this truck. Any examples of high mileage ones or any other high mileage Direct Injection vehicles?
