Tranny is fine. Any issues are electronic tuning. All the 22-23's get flashed now so the intelligent cruise control doesn't downshift to 6 million rpms. Other than that not much in bad transmissions showing up

I am 💯 getting a new frontier Pro4x in the next 2 years or so. Waiting to them to 30-32k average market value. These trucks are so freakin good looking. I love the fact that it has a simple V6 tried and true. The transmission is very good also(same transmission in the new Z and the Aston Martin DBX i believe). You can swap the titan front suspension stuff unto it. The aftermarket is picking up for these. Overall I think this truck in the next 4-5 years is gonna be an unbelievable deal. Also congrats Chris on the new special edition, so nice to see Nissan honoring you for your loyalty and dedication to the brand.

Never had a single issue with that truck it was the best I've ever owned. I would definitely do a titan swap with the front suspension if i was willing to actually beat it up.

The race truck has a Titan swapped front suspension, that's where the extra track width came from. Also gives more travel. It's not the same front suspension as what's on the street truck with the Nismo UCAs

@@benchandler5184titan swap centric UCA’s, LCA’s, inner and outer tie rods, extended r180 cv axles, and coilovers. It’s a roughly $3,000-$4,000 swap in parts alone. Raises the truck about 3-4” and widens the front track width by 3” each side so 6” of travel total. The rear you just need leafs and shackles to match the front height as well as shocks to accommodate that lift in the rear. Best part about titan swapping is that it is entirely bolt on, no custom fab work needed other than trimming fenders for wheel/tire combo scrub radius.

I have a question. With the stock drivetrain, the initial scene had the production Frontier doing over 60mph while going pretty nuts in the sand. How do these handle when considering the manual calls for lower speeds in 4H? Are you running these in 2H or are the manuals overly cautious?

I found a manual 2019 TRD pro with around 70k miles on it. It has a lift and a snorkel on it, which was super tempting as I'm trying to make an overlander. But then I started giving a closer eye to the Nissans. For the same money as that toyota I got a 2023 pro4x with 10k miles... I live in Ohio and we use salt. Those 3+ years make a difference. Especially if I'm taking care to undercoat and maintain it properly.
