I bet it was an accident but in editing Sarah said "fuck it, I'm not reshooting that and the fans deserve a spicey treat." Now I've been a subscriber for a year and love her content with or without a little spice but I must admit I enjoyed that.
Purchased my first new car in 1985, a Nissan 720 5sp manual with the 2.4l dual spark plug per cyl for $9,995, no AC no radio no power anything, 289,000 and never broke down, sold it for $1000 when I needed floor mats to keep my feet from getting to wet when it rained, I love the fact this new truck looks easy to work on (which is a rarity now days) and a full boxed in frame like my '85, Now will the Engine not blow head gaskets and the Transmission hold up? this looks like a great opportunity for the aftermarket crowd. and Sarah I give you 5 Penguins as my most detailed and cutest reviewer.
I just realized that I would watch Sarah review a 1979 Pinto because I’d know right from the git-go that it would be entertaining. And funny. That Nissan truck is about as far away from any vehicle that I’d normally be interested in.
That's it! I want a new Xterra!!! How sweet would the X look with that front end! Plus new terrain features, maybe give customers the option for lockable diffs from the factory, and a rear tire carrier standard! If only to try and compete with Ford, Jeep, and Toyota. I have to imagine that would be a big success!
I agree! I have commented on Nissan's official press release videos of this truck about the lack of a locking diff option. Hopefully others will also, so that Nissan gets the point...
Being a science teacher myself, I really do appreciate your willingness to experiment in your reviews. At the same time, I also get hungry when you mention meatball and cookie scores. As always, I look forward to seeing your entertaining content!
One nice change nissan made is they relocated where the front upper control arm mounts. They moved the mount location up around 2 inches so now if you do a typical 2 inch lift, the upper control arm won't hit the spring/upper strut mount at full droop and no need to replace the upper control arm with an aftermarket one for clearance.
This is what I had hoped the Ranger was going to be. A very utilitarian truck that can be configured in both 2W and 4W and does not lack off-road capabilities. I love the Transmission, I am sick of companies only offering CVT's I hate them and refuse to get another one. CVT makes a care boring and anemia. As for the engine, I like it doesn't have a turbo. They are not the end all be all. This might be worth looking into. Thanks
Sarah's shirt during the bolstering test decided to deny us the entire reason we want to see the bolstering test! I also found it amusing how this appears to be her first time noticing a power locking tail gate
I actually laughed at the U drive shaft joke 😂 I hate it when they don’t give you the option to fully defeat the safety crap. Great review as always! 👏🏻
Finally, after watching many, many reviews from various RUclipsrs, someone confirms there IS actually an adjustable lumbar support offered in the 2022 model. Multiple other reviewers I've seen have stated lumbar support is NOT offered. On multiple videos I have noticed the lever on the center side of the driver seat but no one, until now has seemed to even notice it is there, while many have stated lumbar option isn't available for 2022 model. That was a dissappointing and potentially deal breaking omission for me. Thanks for actually noticing and confirming this option.

I think the new frontier is a great looking truck, probably my favorite out of the midsized truck market, but it's disappointing to slap a "pro" sticker and offer no rear locker. Wish they would bring back the xterra with this new look.
I enjoy the technical parts of your review. Have you considered doing a ramp travel index test? It might be a fun addition, especially to the "off-road" vehicles.
A two wheel drive pickup for 40 grand. Use to be a two wheel drive pickup was the absolute, rock bottom cheapest vehicle on the road. In the 70's you could buy a brand new two wheel drive pickup for 3 or $4,000.00.
I had a 2 wheel drive truck back in 87,,I loved the truck,but it wouldn't any where if the highway was wet,let alone snow,,,I'll take 4 wheel drive,here in the north east,
I accidentally switched playback speed to 25% right at the part where you give it the beans. Anyway, I put the stuff I was carrying down and decided to let it play for a minute at 25% just for fun, and was not disappointed, lol.
The redesign of this truck is long overdue. I really like it. Sucks you can only get a locking diff with the 4x4 because it really does have its place in a 2wd. Only thing missing with the "GO TRUCK GO" line was penguin saying "YEET", lol.
If your intention was to take the Frontier off-road, you would no doubt purchase the Pro-4X, no? That pretender is just all show with no go. Thanks for another great review Sarah.
I'm so glad someone with a personality like yours do reviews, you are a gem in the saturated world of car reviewers, everyone else sounds robotic, you are entertaining, can't wait for your Beans in the new "Z"
It's strange to me that manufacturers used to charge extra for an automatic transmission now we're talking about being willing to pay extra for a manual.
Okay, just an observation .. But if one compares @ 01:24 with 02:04 .. "Something" definitely got ........................... adjusted .. How did that happen? Or @ 04:06 with 04:41?
Sarah, why can't someone do a review on how will it does hauling 28 or so of fire wood, hauling 250 bales of hay, hauling out a large bull elk or pulling a large livestock water tank?
I believe this transmission is based off the Mercedes G-Tronic 9Speed auto, not exactly the same, but I think there was shared engineering in the creation of this.
@@SarahnTuned that has me curious as to long term reliability (as well as the serviceability). It'll be interesting to see how well these hold up over the years.
Great review, after watching I dont knowhowmanymillionsof RUclipsr, you are the first one that I see putting the vehicle on the lift to show what is underneath! awesome!
Funny review as usual...even if I'm not intrested in trucks at all...! Your video are always great because you have a lot of fun and you show it! I'm sorry I lost something at about 4:39, but i was not really thinking about car's thing.... ;-) Time to make a calendar, for sure!!!!
Always enjoyable, love the shorts, suites you better. Keep up the great work, you are in the top 3 car reviewers. You are smart and enjoyable. Thank you from Australia
I bought this exact model as a gift to myself back in December, definitely worth it. Extremely reliable when it comings to hauling my boat and trailer. And has been reliable after putting almost 10k miles since I’ve gotten it due to constant travel between work and home
I am asking because I just don't know myself but do you think this will last as long as a Tacoma? I know they make their trucks much more reliable than the cars but I have to say it is the nicest looking mid-size truck today
@@bcw686they do about as well as a tacoma, they're just a lot cheaper to start which saves you in the event you need to fix anything. doesnt help that toyota has gotten pretty lazy
If you drive slow in 1st or 2nd gear that truck will climb that hill it’s a matter of driving technic when driving into terrain like this. I also notice the way how you drive in some of your truck drive test learn the driving technic.
Ok, I'll just ask: did you use double sided tape? Nice truck! I much like the wheel design. Isn't traction control actually supposed to imitate a diff lock? I have no off road experience so I don't know if it would be a help or a hindrance.
I think Hondas occupying the niche they want. A lot of people want truck utility without the heavy frames and choppy ride. They don't want to put in the effort of developing an actual truck just to get stomped by the Tacoma anyways.
Yep, 69 is the perfect temp, and number. TWSS and TWHS. ;) Great review, fun, entertaining and informative. Does need a locking rear diff, one wheel drive is ridiculous.
The plastic on the underside is not a skid pkate. It's a splash gaurd to keep the engine area clean while off roading. 2wd Nissan cars have the same thing. Same idea as having a plastic cover over the top of the engine which almost all newer cars have.
Sarah, I have to say. I watch everyone one of your videos and give them a thumbs up every time. Love what you do! I have also set your channel on alert so each time you upload I’d be alerted however, your videos never come up in my feed. I always have to search for them. I believe you’re being suppressed for some reason!! Again, love what you do
This thing needs the rear locker more than the pro4x. And a skid plate would be nice. People still off road in a two-wheel drive truck. Why have a off-road package if it doesn't have any meat to it
Sarah because of your video I bought one 2 weeks. Amazing truck. My first Nissan. I live in the Great White North of Canada where 4x4s are a must for the winter. I can’t wait to go off road. Thanks for the in-depth review.
I guess this will be Sarah's new most viewed video.
I guarantee it... I know I will be watching it a few times.
There looked like almost an accident at one part....or was it?
Yeah the back seat holds the goodness the front seat hid
I bet it was an accident but in editing Sarah said "fuck it, I'm not reshooting that and the fans deserve a spicey treat."
Now I've been a subscriber for a year and love her content with or without a little spice but I must admit I enjoyed that.
Glad it wasn't just me! "Come for the excellent car reviews, stay for the treats!"
Loving the science and underside views, gives an idea on the quality of the vehicle when you can see the bits you normally wouldn't.
Don't understand, why other reviewer's don't include this. Worked on a Fiat 500 on a hoist. You could see cheapness and cost cutting everywhere.
@@brycem0 aka "value engineering"
@@brycem0 I'd expect to see a sticker on the underside on an FCA product to read "hello again!"

Amen! The Xterra was the best. It was the size of a CRV, but could work like a mule.
@@Steven-xj2rf That 4.0 was no joke.
should have at least limited slip diff, because it's just 1WD without a locker.
I agree! I have commented on Nissan's official press release videos of this truck about the lack of a locking diff option. Hopefully others will also, so that Nissan gets the point...
Yep. This things Useless off-road
Depends on the traction control. These computers do amazing things without lockers now.
It does have a limited slip

@@69spektator a little of both.
Seatbelts normally function as a “separator”. Not sure what happened here.
Holy plunging necklines Batman! 😳

Bouncing around in the back seat, jumped out at me. Well almost jumped out.
@4:36 the best part😍❤
I was surprised and delighted
more like 4:38
Very odd they wouldn’t offer a locking rear diff in the 2wd, especially since it’s the Pro-X model.
Locking rear end is a great option- even UTVs have that. I thought the engine sounds nice.
It’s weird cause the old desert runner did
Yeah I just got it and I totally agree! The Tacoma trd 4x2’s have it!
If it’s not available with a 5 speed manual transmission I won’t be able to drive it. Yes that’s right, I never learned to drive a automatic.
Its not hard to learn

Nissan is coming back. I had 2. A 90 maxima se pearl white and a 86 200 sx light blue lift back.
