I totally forgot to mention how the doors will all re-lock on you after 30 seconds unless you quickly get outside and open a door following an unlock using the fob. UGH.... that pisses me off. And we won't rehash the power steering that doesn't feel like power steering. The steering on this truck feels EXACTLY like my buddy's old 1987 Nissan Hardbody pickup that didn't have power steering.

Washer fluid concern - Hold the lever longer & wipers will activate with the fluid spray.

About the washer fluid, I think it's great! If there is dry debris, like bird droppings or bugs, you might want to let it soften up before you run the rubber blade over it, this way it saves fluid and the blade.

I’m in Florida. When I use the washer on my 4Runner it automatically starts the wipers and I actually prefer it to allow me to spray the water to pre soak the bugs so it could be more effective. Enjoying your Frontier videos.

Personally I would like the ability to soak snow, ice, or dried mud on the windshield without the wipers automatically starting. If done on purpose, Nissan should mention that. I would be surprised they just forgot to program or design it not to. Then again, who knows.

The washer fluid thing is awesome, that way you can let it sit on the windshield for a bit to soften up The bugs and shit that’s on the windshield then you wipe it off, brilliant idea

1) width narrower for tight trails 2) washer fluid stays without wipers to soak into dried mud 3) there is a compass it's actually pretty nice 4) trailer hitch recessed for better departure angle

The washer fluid you just have to pull back longer. I'm hoping you've discovered that already. Auto high beams are operated by pushing the turn signal stalk toward the dash and can be turned off by pulling toward you. I have a Pro 4x, not sure if these things are different with trim level.

As a truck driver, the windshield washer op is a great idea....the fluid on the windshield is softening the bugs...just brilliant.

You can turn off the auto headlights by flicking the bright headlight twice. The 2023 has a compass

I have a '23 ProX. It has a compass in the dash options. Plus the navigation screen shows your direction of travel. The manual shift mode works perfectly on mine. Shift as you accelerate, it's all good. Shift up to 6th gear and leave it there, it stays in 6th. I do think 9 speeds is overkill. Agree that the seats are a bit narrow. Do like the console better than the 2010 Pro4x I had. The bizarre thing I dislike is the steering wheel is offset about 2 inches to the left relative to the center of the seat. My 2010 was offset too but not as much. Anyways, good luck with your Frontier.

I thought the "manual shift mode" was really meant as a gear limiter. So, it means if you put it in 4, and come to a stop, it will shift as usual 1, 2, 3, and stop at 4. It may also be used as a form of engine braking I think. Keep in mind, this is not the same as the manual shift modes on sports cars/sedans. My Lexus GS350 had a + - mode and it was a genuine sport manual shift feature. Trucks are not fast machines so the application is different.

The biggest complaint I have with the washer fluid is it doesn’t have a low washer fluid light. My 2010 Silverado had that.

The windshield washer fluid function works perfect here in New England. The Frontier was my first pickup truck, and I spent a year researching which truck to buy. The Frontier met and exceeded all my expectations. I really found only one problem for me and that was the trailer hitch recess. The rear bumper interferes with my riser hitch. However, I can turn down the hitch and it works perfectly fine for my boat and trailer. I have only one trailer that sits a little low because I can't turn around the riser. I will buy another riser hitch and see if it works. The no compass doesn't bother me as I use my Iphone. I absolutely love the seats. I never thought about the High beam and the seat belt chime. I plan on keeping the stock suspension.

This is a well balanced and respectably designed truck. I think you bought the wrong truck. If I was going to complain about something I would say that the delay in the gas tank reading after you fill it up and the speakers going to static every few times I turn it on are the only weird things I noticed.

I solved the seat issue by tilting it forward and raising the seat back. This pushes your weight forward just enough to relieve that issue. It takes about 5 minutes to acclimate to it in that position.

I think any vehicle made today has it’s pros and cons. While some of the features you described are not a big deal, if you get enough of those “little” things, you start to question what other vehicles have. I personally like the 22 Frontier over the others(GM twins, Ranger, Taco, and Gladiator). Their is a balance or trade of if you will from the others. Frontier ain’t perfect, but I still think it’s a good value and some of those little features I could easily add myself or live with without regret 👍 IMHO Looking forward to your “pros” video about the truck. Looking good 👍 Edit: if you hold the washer stalk a bit longer when you spray, it WILL wipe as well. My Honda did similar. Seat belt chime is usually a chime module that is in the fuse box area, easy to unplug the module/chime maker 😉 Certain models do have the compass.

I have a few Nissan Frontier's in my fleet here in ATL. First off I will agree the lack of the telescoping wheel is a huge miss! The auto high beams work the same way in a few of my personal cars. If you want to intentionally blind oncoming traffic, yes you have to switch it to manual mode. As far as the washer, I find that feature works great when you fuel up , want to squeegee the windshield and yet all you have IS the squeegee, no water or cleaner mix in the bucket. Keep in mind this truck while "redesigned" is actually riding on the older frame. Nissan did this as they are low on cash and did not want to blank slate a new truck. Remember, the older trucks had the new drive train in them 3.8L vs 4.0L . As for lifting any truck, you are on your own. Automotive engineers have Masters degrees and years of experience in designing suspensions for ride AND safety. The people who build lifts kits? Questionable. Cheers-Alina

My 2023, Pro 4X, has a very large and nice compus in the info screen between the speedometer and tach. Also, the map on the 9" entertainment center has an easy to read compus My experience with the windshield washer is that it is delayed. If you spray an extra ½ second, the blades activate. I really like this delay because you actually get fluid on the glass before the blades start. Also, my Frontier doesn't automatically lock the doors. Kind of wish it did And the seat belt chime does shut off after a little time. But also, I found a link that says it can be turned off. I'll update if it works.

I brought a pro 4x since last November..no problem's at all !!! I've been beating the hell out of it in the shale back roads of n.w.mt everyday I have Maxed the payload out a few times driving 75/100 distance no problem... All the things you noticed/ mention.. I haven't had, put 11k miles on it so far I truly think it's the type of package that in your truck! I have a compass, windshield washer works fine. I do agree about not putting in the telescope steering wheel but I know that B4 buying . good luck with the truck in the future..p.s. about the hitch ...they designed it for departure during off roading..

You just have to pull the the headlights handle toward you into a neutral position, also just hold the wiper fluid a second or two longer and it will wipe, to make it shift you have to take your foot off the ignition. I have a 2022 frontier S

I've got a honda with the auto lights, you have to hold back on the low and high beam stalk for a few seconds to turn off the auto dimming feature. Maybe this will help

I actually like that about the washer fluid. There are many times in the winter where I just want to spray fluid onto an icy windshield, and let it set for a bit, before I want the wipers to remove it. It helps in de-icing the windshield. Otherwise you end up wasting far more fluid. So this can be a good thing in certain situations. Gives one more control over what they want.

The manual shift mode is similar to Ram where it’s more of a “maximum gear” selection it seems.

Thanks for this video! I appreciate you and the commenters pointing out the unique / unusual features in the Frontier.

I have a 2022 Frontier Pro 4x. The wipers do work when I just flip the washer switch to spray. Also I do have a compass. It is on the driver's display as an option for drivers assistance.

I think some of the items you point out are on my Frontier 2022 pro-X , compass, telescoping wheel, the seat seems to be wider and fits just fine. The high beams can be shut off as well on the pro-x variant.

I like activating the wipers manually that way I can let the fluid soak on the dirt and bugs before wiping

Good things to know. I have an 06 Frontier that still runs great, but my child may take it over. I was getting ready to start looking for a new truck. By the way, the mustang posters caught my eye. I had two classics I restored. A 65 fastback and a 66 coupe. I ❤ my classic mustangs.

Pro 4x model solves some of your issues(Compass,washer fluid). If you lifted your vehicle. The OEM mud flaps will be to short.

My ridgeline does the same thing with the wipers. I found that I have to hold the sprayer for 2-3 seconds then the wipers will go automatically 2 or 3 wipes.

You have to pull the turn signal/ headlight lever back towards you to turn the auto hi beam off. It will work even if the headlights are in "auto" mode.

I don't have the issue you mentioned about manual shifting. I use mine off road and it stays in the gear I shift to even if the rpm's get up there past where it would normally shift. The wipers hold the spray down and it runs the blades. A few other things you mentioned seem like you got a truck without the options you wanted. Nissan is great about msking add on tech features. if you have the tech package the nav system is you compass. I do agree these need telescopinh steering wheel. there needs to be fender flair options too. Hopefully soon someone will make some aftermarket ones that don't require replacing the painted fender with a pro4x one. I did the 2.5 lift level kit kit didn't need camber bolts or upper control arm. Dealer said they are adjustable for a few degrees. Which was enough for this lift.

There is a compass in the apps menu you can add. I have mine showing. But I completely agree about the pinching of the bottom seat. It gets uncomfortable pretty quickly.

Just purchased a 2022 Frontier SV Crew Cab SWB 4x4, over all pretty happy with it, I’m 6’3 sitting is cool for me. I’m an old retired vet so only drive like 1000 miles a year 😅, wife drives me everywhere. My only complaint are the weak a@@ halogen headlights. I’m assuming I can swap with some better bulbs? Any suggestions from any one? Thanks .

Chime goes off after one mile in my 2022. Never notice issue with seat and I'm 274 pounds and 6 foot tall seems wide enough.I do however have trouble getting in without hitting my head and armrest is very low. Lights??? Just forget about them being automatic, put them on low if you forget to low beam then it's a secondary safety measure that will do it for you if you forget. Just use them like you do in any other Truck.

I have a 22 SV 2wd. I like it. Drove full size tahoes,yukons and a couple of Sierras for many years. Decided to downsize. Kids grown and gone. I have no complaints with mine. You seem VERY particular. I get it. But I doubt you will ever be 100% happy with anything. Good day.

If you get used to driving around a ranch without the seatbelt, no, people are not going to remember to put the seatbelt on as soon as you get off your property if the seatbelt warning is permanently disabled. It takes 2 seconds to pop the seatbelt on and off.

I’ve owned a few Nissans over the years and I’m shocked to hear about the seatbelt chime, as all the models I’ve had didn’t even have one at all. Just the seatbelt light would come on but no noise. I’ve never seen a washer fluid spray without the wipers coming on in any of the vehicles I’ve owned. But I have to say it might be a good thing as you could let the soap soak and loosen the dirt or melt the ice/frost before the wipers come on. You would think there would be a compass on the navigation screen?

... the windshield washer fluid not activating the wipers is a good thing when there's ice on the windshield - lets the ice start to melt without ripping the wipers apart - I love this "old" style "improvement" and it's really simple to just switch on the wipers ...

I find it kind of funny that my four-wheel drive S model 22 Frontier has blind spot monitoring but no power mirrors

I just got a 2023 I haven't gone through it yet. As to the compass part you can plug your phone to use your GPS. I also will keep mines stock. Thanks

My window spray wipes and auto high beams turn off just fine like any other. Are you driving a pre-production press vehicle?

Haven't read all the comments yet, but it's like the new 2022 Civic when turning off the auto-high beams. You have to flash the high beams manually (pull back on the stalk). That cycles it off. To turn it back on, repeat the process.

One annoyance in my 2021 XD is if the truck is in 4 dig, the cruise controle won't activate. It did on my 21 Nismo Frontier. It's not a deal. Reaker, but highway driving is kinda nice in the winter with 4 dig and cruise.

How does the underneath look? I seen a brand new truck on the lot and the underneath was all rusty. All the bolts were rusted too. Those trucks won’t last long in Michigan winters. It was a pass for me.

I bought the Pro4X last July and traded in my 2019 Ranger FX4. The Nissan is a lot nicer in my opinion. I like the engine on the Nissan better than the turbo 4cyl. The interior is much nicer also. I've noticed many of the things you're talking about, but 2 of my gripes are there are no electric folding mirrors and the rearview mirror doesn't auto dim. Even my Ranger had the folding mirrors on a lower trim level. I really like the LED headlights on the Nissan. The halogen lights on the Ranger were awful even with the brightest halogen bulbs I could find. I also couldn't see many of the dash buttons at night in the Ranger with the brightness turned all the way up. Btw, the Pro4X does have a compass in the gauge cluster menu. I'm not sure why something like that would only be on the higher trims. I can't imagine it cost much if anything. I'm wondering if the most expensive package has the power folding mirrors. Overall I'm very happy and I got a great trade for the Ford.

My 06 acura mdx has a compass, and my wife's 07 honda pilot has a compass, not rubbing it in, it's more against car manufacturers, they give you a 20 inch screen for a radio and charge astronomically high price, leaving out essential features. Great video.

it's super interesting that your truck doesn't wipe after spraying the washer fluid. I have a 2022 SV 4x4 and it engages the wipers after every time you spray fluid.

I love my base model 22 frontier, and idk if it’s just the pro 4x or not but my windshield wiper fluid switch does automatically run the wipers.

Does yours have the utility rack system and what tonneau cover do you have on there?

I have been viewing your videos about your nissan frontier. Seen the one with the Goodyear tires. What leveling kit did you install? Did you have it done? How did you do that if its leased? Please explain.

My Wife has a fully loaded SV Gen 3 same color as yours. On my Gen 2 I installed an ADO 2" lift With Bilstein shocks and there Broverland Leaf Springs. I never changed the bolts in my front end and I have 180.000 Miles on it. The truck currently is riding on 33"Falken Wildpeaks The Tires have just shy of 50.000 miles on them. I'm due for a new set. But as far alignment the truck drives straight and true. The truck get's hammered on. Tire wear is pretty much perfect IMO. I don't believe her new truck is much diff suspension wise. I think Nissan has these trucks pretty much dialed in at this point. When I crawl under her truck to do fluids It's like I am under a newer cleaner version of mine. I gotta agree with you on the seats. The cab def feel narrower,. But man are the newer seats wrapped in leather way more comfortable.

Just today my 2022 Frontier has been getting stuck in park? Any suggestions on how to fix this? It’s under warranty but this is frustrating me so much

Can you send a link for the seat belt extender you used to over ride the chime? There are so many on Amazon. Want to make sure I get the right one.

On the auto high beam,ya might try manually putting your lights on hi or low(while the auto feature is on).See if the light goes off on your dash.I think that's the way it is on my ranger.Then if I pull the lever back twice it come back on.

I have a 22 Frontier SV, and my wipers come on when i hold down the spray.

I have the sv version and the wipers do come on when you pull the washer leaver and they swipe three times. I live in Canada, perhaps we have slightly different changes.

It's funny, my 2013 definitely activates the wipers when you spray the washer fluid and not sure why but my seatbelt chime never worked. I figure it was turned off by a transporter and they forgot to turn it back on.

I've been doing a lot of driving lately and now have Bursitis in my left hip and I believe this narrow seat was the cause! Regarding the Seat Belt Chime, you can just *unplug* the sensor under the seat.

the previous model frontiers had no chime for no seat belt. you used to be able to just unplug a sensor under the seat for older vehicles to alleviate the chime. I can't connect Bluetooth to my wife's 4runner if it has been put into gear. lots of safety things for a sue-happy society.

On my Lexus Truck I like that I can spray small amounts of washer fluid to let it set in before I trigger the wipers. Provides a better clean when you got bugs and muck

Sounds like someone is having buyers remorse with all these nit picks 😂

My 2022 Frontier has a dash screen compass. It also actuates the wipers when I press wash on the windshield.

I like the dinging Bell of the seat belt it always reminds me I didn't buckle my seatbelts the only way to shut it up is obey the law buckle your seat belts not a seat belt extender

Thanks for the video but a few things I think you missed. Yes you can turn off the automatic head lights. Just pull the blinker stock towards you. Also you have to hold the whisper stock in longer to activate the wipers. Also it does have a compass. It's in the gauge cluster after audio screen.

There's a reason why people buy these trucks 1. If you've owned any Nissan before then you're in the market for it 2. I bought one of these because it does everything that I needed to do $10000 less than most of the competitors in the market ( Well equipped 4 X 4 ) On a side note if you're looking for perfection then brother you will never find it in any truck.

High beam Off/on in Nissans is "Pull the lever back and forth ." And washer fluid auto wiper kicks off when you keep holding the lever for few seconds. If you use it intermittent, wiper won't work until you do it manually.

My wipers wipe automatically after spraying fluid. I can turn the automatic headlight dimming feature off by clicking the know past the auto setting, all the way to the on setting.

The fluid wiper windshield handle, you have to hold it back longer and the wipers will turn on while spraying.

The strangest thing I’ve noticed is that I constantly have to adjust my seat back. It’s always leaning farther back than when I got out of the truck. The lack of telescoping steering wheel is annoying. So far, haven’t really been bothered by any of the other stuff you’ve mentioned. The transmission does seem to be indecisive at times.

$35 for adjustable lower control arm cam bolts. Nissan doesn’t expect people to automatically muck with the suspension geometry. $35 isn’t difficult to deal with this. Seems pretty minor.

My washer fluid doesn’t do that. Just tested it. Washes and wipes in one pull. Maybe warranty issue.

If you have the lights on auto, the highbeam assist will be on. If you turn your lights on manually and not to auto on, the high beam assist is off

is this a canada truck? mine has none of those issues. the wipers, the compass, the auto high beams. Mine is the pro 4x. Although - coming from a 2014 Tundra - I still can't get used to the small size sitting in the seat. I'm a smaller guy too. Maybe 5'8'' 175 lbs. All the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel are terrible to try to access too.

That seat belt chime is why I love my 18 frontier. The warning light stays on, but no chime!

If you hit the map button on your infotainment display you'll get a big blue compass in the top left corner. Though I think that's only for the upgraded infotainment display w/ mapping...

My truck turns on the wipers when I spray the fluid? I have 22 pro 4x with all packages. To turn off auto brights just pull the brights back to off. They have to be pushed forward for the auto brights to work.

My '13 P4X Frontier and my '15 Xterra S both have a digital compass and thermometer in the center rear view mirror.

If you spray the washer fluid for over 5 seconds it automatically makes the windshield wipers work.

You can pull the sound fuse to get rid of the seatbelt chime. Seatbelt extender is actually pretty clever. The chime is now due to federal regulations. Also the manual not working is not right, take that back to the dealership. You can get a compass installed in the mirror. Most car companies sell useless mud flaps, get proper aftermarket ones. The recess is so far out to increase departure angle.

I know I’m dating myself, but I preferred the old floor buttons that controlled the high and low beams.

The Frontier is a good looking truck but after watching this video I’m not surprised Nissan took many shortcuts to save cost. Don’t forget about the power driver seat that reclines a little after engine is off and parked. Search the internet and you’ll see many owners with this problem. I was almost sold on buying this truck over a Tacoma but the seat problem and some of the bizarre things was the deal killer.

My 2022 frontier turns on the wipers automatically when i hit the washer. My truck has a large compass. If I go to manual mode lights I can operate the high beams myself.

On the driver seating room, the shiny plastic door trim protrudes out to a narrow edge. My knee goes right there. Additionally, the handle thing on the center console also is right where my knee goes. This makes the driver seating more narrow than it needs to be, and removes 2-3 inches of available space to spread your legs and rest your knees. Not a deal breaker, but they could have not added those trim pieces.

I have a 2023 pro X and they change the washer thing at some point. When I hold it back, it works like every other vehicle spray spray, then wipe wipe

Here's another one. If you start the truck with the SXM radio on and change the channel (up or down), it will automatically revert to a FM preset. You have to then use the up/down button to get back to a SXM preset. Big deal? Not really.....but still kind of strange. The missing compass is the biggest gripe I have with my Frontier. I bought 4 cheater plugs for the seat belt chimes and just leave those in if I am off-roading and/or not wearing a seat belt.

The wipers work just fine as long as the truck is on. I've never sprayed my windshield with the truck off.

My 2022 Nissan frontier SV model when pressing the windshield wiper washer lever towards you to shoot water on the windshield. It automatically makes the windshield wiper move unlike yours. I don’t know what’s wrong with your truck

That is strange because my wipers activate with the washer and the transmission does what I ask it to do while in manual mode. I think maybe there's something not programmed correctly on yours?

What is the little electronic screen to the left of your dash? A tuner?

I have a 22 with whatever package that puts the garage door buttons on the mirror. It also has an on / off button that turns the auto high beam low beam option off. I noticed that yours doesn't have those buttons which is weird. My biggest issue is the adaptive cruise control. It drives me nuts when a car moves out of the way and the truck wants to floor it to get back up to speed! Another thing that bothers me is if you remote start the truck, get in it and touch the gear shifter with out hitting the start button the truck just shuts off.

You have to hold the washer fluid Handel for more then 1 sec and it will engage the auto wipe feature of the truck. Hope that helps you.

the steering wheel. you can hold it so it goes down and if you bring it down to fast and it hits its stopping point it will honk the horn. pretty neat.

I just got the 2023 model, The wipers come on when you spray water and it now has a compass.

I have a 22 and my manual mode does exactly what i want...og course if u just put it in 6 gear and slow down it will go through 1-6 ...if I start in 1 if will not shift to 2nd until I do so .either your doing something wrong or you need to get yours checked out .i have also accidently left mt lights on when not in automatic headlight mode and they went out after so long..check your settings.

The seats and the driving position on my 2016 SV 4X4 is perfect, the most comfortable of any vehicle I have ever owned. A friend bought a '16 Tacoma at the same time I got my Frontier, and he had to get a kit to raise the seat height because it was just too "carlike", according to him. All in all, I love everything about my truck.

Just bought a 2024 the driver seat will NOT keep its (Back position) ? ? I thought I was going crazy at first but it seems after I Google it this has been a issue with the New model.

Did you hold the window spray longer or only lite spray, cause I noticed on the fords if you don't hold it long enough it won't wipe or some never vehicles are like that as well have to hold it longer

I got 2022 frontier last month just noticed it might have a front camera by the rear view mirror? But I don’t know if it is connected or if it even works. Only camera that works is the rear view when reversing.
