Sure are lots of people who defend manuals....and not a lot who buy them

@@AceofCrazy89 I don't know how this dude can drive 350 miles a day in Chicago traffic. I only buy manuals, but I live in a rural area with light traffic. People who love to drive -- generally also love the manual transmission. While the take rate is very low among the general public -- it is pretty high among self-described enthusiasts.

@@LakeHowellDigitalVideo in europe most of the cars are with manual. Higher class, are auto,but almost all of them, sooner,or later have issues with transmission. Car enthuasist also here buy manuals. I also prefer manual.

dOols V because there aren’t enough to buy

Boomer Bomb Well the older Nissan’s of course like the Frontier, 370z, and GTR are more reliable than the new ones

Scotty Kilmer is a drunken clown.

@@La-yt1wr This isn't that old, it's a modern generation, produced and developed under the PSA French partnership. You can buy a new one like it right now. In reality, most cars are reliable. Yes, some are better than others, but it's splitting hair at this point. Most cars aren't problematic. Maintenance has much more to do with how long a car lasts or how reliable it will be than what makes it is. There are many great, reliable cars Scotty trashes. That's because Scotty isn't a real mechanic, he's biased and total a quack, and he really does a disservice to people who want to take care of their cars.

@@La-yt1wr This isn't old, it's part of the current model line, and the 370 and GT-R are definitely not their most reliable cars. What are you smoking?

Scotty can drive his Celica off a bridge.

The same but different.

Lol so true

Agreed!

Indeed 👍

the fact that he got 800k in Chicago out of that clutch is whack. In Chicago there is a lot of very slow traffic so I find myself riding the clutch more than I'd like to

alex hagood lol true

It will be a sad day, this one is from an era when Nissan's where still a quality product, I but the new generations won't last nearly as long.

This is too true

Give credit where credit is due

There's a video on KZfaq that purportedly shows an all new Frontier in 2021. I haven't watched the video, yet.

For fortune i guess

I was shopping for Frontiers and wanted to find the most mechanically simple model I could get. I found a CCSB fleet/S model with the VQ40DE, 4x4, auto. No stick because my wife can't drive one. I couldn't believe when I saw the thing had manual crank windows and manual locks all around. I wanted to buy it so badly but ended up skipping on it for that very reason, because I was sure my wife would hate having crank windows and no remote locking doors in a new truck. My wife ended up hating my Frontier any way. Oh well. As far as the transmissions go I see almost zero issues with the auto trans on the couple of Frontier forums I've browsed. Worst issue was the early ones having a leaking radiator cooler, not really the transmission's fault. The auto has a drain bolt and a fill tube, so there's no reason not to change out the ATF in the pan every 30k or so. Doesn't even have a pickup filter to replace. I run Valvoline Maxxlife in mine with zero issues. This transmission is the same one mated to the 5.6 V8 in the Titan so it's seriously overbuilt for the 4.0 V6. I don't see any reason why this auto won't last a very long time.

I think they are about to come out with a next gen frontier

@@Jv19979 exactly.....

It's the same truck 😂

Toyota gave away a free Tundra to a guy that had 1 millions on his 2007 Tundra.

He lives by the border of Wisconsin....

I highly doubt it was mostly city driving... 800,000 miles on one clutch is not city driving. Clutch life is dictated by number of starts from stop. A city clutch would be lucky to make it 100,000.

Look for a used one. Manual with 4 cylinder still available in 2019.

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Nice one

Haha yeah “IF YOU DON’T BUY THIS TRUCK YOU’RE STUPID”

In csse you weren't aware and were running on hearsay, as most folks do, Nissan Frontier has never had a transmission that "sucks." In fact they work better than the Toyota "gearhunter."

Look at how simple it is. Of course it would last.

@@Jv19979 All mine lasted too with power windows, seats & an automatic, you just need to do the maintenance & take care of them. I have owned 90 vehicles, a handful were Nissan & I had great reliability with all of them.

I have owned 9 nissans, one of them is a Cvt. I have nothing but great things to say about my nissans.

@@MrTibbo17 My latest Maxima has the newer improved CVT & no issues at all, it even has identical 0 to 60 times as my Hemi Challenger, quite impressive.

@@mauricemotors8207 My gramps had two automatics, Lincoln Town cars' both had over 1 Million miles. They still run' great. They were private taxis,

you forgot about the Nissan patrol those are reliable af source have one myself and they're everywhere in my country due to being so good

The Titan is the best. I have a 2019 Titan Pro 4X and love it.

Great choice

There are million mile Tacomas out there

Jason Buis show me

Tacoma will do better

I love ur Thundercats logo, I grew up watching it, best show ever!

I saw it at the show the other day, it's honestly super clean. Dude definitely took care of it. There's some rust bubbling up around the passenger side wheelwell but even up close it looks great.

I was thinking the same!

Surprised the frame is still solid

Some people get lucky with vehicles, some just never do!

Well of course they did. What does that have to do with the fact that the drive train lasted a million miles?

All that matters is the engine and transmission.

The headlights definitely looks original because it’s turn yellow

@@rhull3939 well because they seemed to act like it just held up that well. Drivetrain isn't the only thing that matters. He says "oh yeah I just washed it once a week." Well sure but you also had the whole front end replaced and likely repainted after 1 millions miles of stone chips.

@@Globbs Not to say that I disagree with your ASSUMPTION, but you did notice that chip guard on the hood, didn't you?

lmao a CVT in a truck will be gutless and will burn out if you tow or haul everything

You're right and that's why Nissan didn't put cvt in any potentially load bearing vehicles like frontier, pathfinder, titan, armada...

Remi Leon the pathfinder has a CVT since 2013

Chairman of the Board you’re right, that’s why i’d take a toyota 4Runner because the pathfinder is no longer a competitor to 4runner and the X-Terra is gone.

@@Datsun7705 yes you would be correct, I was referring to the older body style similar to the one in the video

Why did you hate it? I got a 2019 tacoma i was going to get a ranger but i like the tacoma more. My brother has a 2007 frontier.

I Have a 2018. GMC Canyon 3.6 V6 very good truck so far. I did look at the Nissan. But the GMC was more up-to-date.

@@Jv19979 I looked at the Rangers but the body roll just made me sea sick and I didn't trust that turbo 4-cylinder engine that was in them. Tacoma was nice but they ride like a damn tank and I didn't like how their transmissions don't meet up with the power of the motor properly. I didn't like the Colorado because that 8-speed transmission with a V6 didn't pull worth a damn. The power of the 4 liter engine in the Frontier and the 5-speed automatic transmission provides the right amount of torque for pulling 6000 lbs. The Frontier just gave me a better value as they were $8,000 off.

@@steveward2158 The outside of the GM trucks look sharp but don't care for the Fisher-Price look interior of them. GM just can't get the transmission tune to the V6 engine efficiently as it felt like I was driving a Tacoma transmission constantly looking for gears.

@@jamesm568 my toyota shifts fine. The ranger i drove was a xl amd it was stiff you felt every bump the power was good. I just didnt like how the interior was like a focus. My brothers frontier still runs good i think it has 200,000 miles. I never drove the Colorado.

Yeah if it's all highway then you can put well over 10k on some engines as long as you top it off every few hundred miles

@@billyray4716 In another video he said he used synthetic oil the whole time.

Most folks think 3000 miles is still a typical oil change schedule. 40 years ago most engines were poorly engineered, underpowered, and had poor efficiency. Oil is far better today and engine tolerances are measured in microns instead of thousandths. Any regular car with a pushrod engine today can go more than 7500 miles between changes and the oil has darkened but is far from dirty or contaminated. I think some new cars have 15,000 change intervals. Apparently when he was doing worked. The most important factor is using the correct weight of oil.

@@_BAD_MERC_ There are a handful of videos now about this truck and its maintenance history. Brian described his mileage as split evenly between highway, suburb and city. He used Mobil 1 and changed it at home every 10K. Had he used Amsoil Signature Series he could have run much longer intervals. We no longer change spark plugs every 12,000 miles or change the antifreeze yearly . We don't swap thermostats in the spring and autumn but some people are still stuck in the 1970s when it comes to oil changes. There is a night and day difference between a PAO synthetic and traditional mineral oil. Mobil 1 is somewhere in between so 10K intervals with his driving habits sounds right.

@@rightlanehog3151 did he mention what specific Mobil 1 oil?

@@bryane2857 the owner said it gets great gas mileage

@@itsdimitriymedvedyev great! What was it?

​@@bryane2857 In the video posted by Nissan USA he said about 25 or 26 mpg. Keep in mind that it's a small 2.5L 4-cylinder engine producing 152hp and 171 lb-ft of torque, hooked up to a 5-speed manual and with only 2WD. iirc Nissan won't be making the 4-cylinder engine or 5-speed manual transmission anymore but there should be plenty of used ones out there. My Xterra with 4WD and the 4.0L V6 automatic gets considerably worse gas mileage (about 17 mpg), but I do get a-lot more power, 261hp and 281 lb-ft of torque. (frontier, older pathfinder, and some HD Nissan cargo vans have this engine option too) So ultimately its: do you want a truck that gets great gas mileage, has cheaper maintenance, and improved reliability, but with considerably less towing capability, worse off-road/winter performance and other weaker capabilities? Or do you want a truck that has much more power, can tow a lot more (like 3790lbs vs 6720lbs, quite a big difference), is better for off-roading/winter conditions, and is more capable in basically every way, but not as reliable and with worse gas mileage? the 4.0L and 5-speed automatic are pretty reliable compared to other Nissan engines and transmission especially the CVTs. For 2020 Nissan won't be making the 4.0L or 5-speed automatic/6-speed manual anymore in the frontier though. (idk if it will still be available for the cargo vans tho)

This man has now been in several videos. He used Mobil 1 and changed it himself every 10,000 miles but I do not know the intervals for the differential and manual transmission lube changes.

Parker Sullivan any experience with a car seat in the back? Is there enough room for one?

You will be paying top dollar for a new truck that has 10 year old tech in it. My advice, look elsewhere. Just my opinion.

Jeff Talbot evidently you haven’t priced them. They are far and away the cheapest new truck on the market. They know the truck is outdated and they price it as such. However the engine and transmission are tried and true. I prefer reliability over the wow factor. To each his own.
