- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- ( tfltruck.com ) Just how solid is the 2022 Nissan Frontier against its chief rival - the Toyota Tacoma? Now that we've gotten a new model for the first time in nearly two decades, is it a good enough alternative to pull hordes of buyers away from the dominant midsize truck? Roman and Andre take a closer look in this head-to-head comparison.

I love Andre`s enthusiasm on truck, but I absolutely hate how Roman constantly interrupts every 5 seconds. Andre loves trucks, I recall him loving the Gen 1 & 2 Nissan Frontier, and I'm genuinely excited to get his opinion on the new Frontier. Please stop interrupting him, it's rude and distracting. I want to watch and listen to Andre when he's on the video.
New Nissan looks nice. But I'll wait until I see a performance review. I hope Andre will be the one to do that video
This is mentioned in every video but The Roman thinks people only want to hear what comes out of his mouth.
Who is recording ? Who’s supposed to do a talking Lol 😂
@Allen Tokyoo they are both intolerable every time
Agreed. Roman should shut up. They would be better off if they got rid of him.
@@Harikarikillboy-fs5vl Yep, he’s irritating, and so is his son.
Nothing like ROMAN interrupting ANDRE every 5 seconds, that and also rushing the man. lol
Roman has to keep Andre on track lol. Or else Andre would probably forget some features
Almost comes off as condescending. Not the easiest to listen to lol
@@christianflores6626 Andre is the one who had to remind Roman that they were looking at a Pro-X and not a Pro-4X, Roman kept calling it a Pro-4X towards the beginning of the video, ha.
@@TheCr00k6 Exactly lol
@@christianflores6626 Wrong
Let's all join Andre Support Group: "Let the man talk"
Yeah Roman treats him like he's sponsoring his green card or something.
#FreeAndre lol
@@chuckwalla2967 😂
I think I’ll just keep driving my 16 Tacoma, it’s been bulletproof so far.
If anything I’d trade up for a new Tundra.
Agree. Have been saying that for a long time now an seems to get worse sometimes but whatever they get the last laugh I'm still watching.
Slow down guys. I have never seen a more frantic presentation. We will watch a 20 min review of it means we can keep track and not be distracted by Andre’s sweating and Roman’s breathing.
Yeah, I noticed that too. SLC is lower in altitude than Denver so it wasn't the elevation. I guess there's nothing like two out-of-shape men rushing through a preliminary review.
I think Andre broke a sweat. Perhaps they were rushing because other journalists wanted a crack at it and Nissan only allowed a limited time.
Boats n hoes. Boats n hoes. Boats n hoes!
Lmao! I was about to say did they take a adderall before filming this lol. Great stuff of course. I get it tho. They were excited lol
Roman can you not interrupt every 5 seconds & let him do his thing smh
Right. Roman was pushing andre like a rented mule in this video. I appreciate tfl showing us first but let my man take a breath at least lol
Roman is getting more and more annoying. In the video on the Tundra and the question if it will get lockers he was like "BuT hUmMeR eV, bUt RiViAn" and "the segment has moved past questions like "will the Tundra get a locker"". That was with Andre too and in videos with Tommy he's also annoying.
Humans got the solution to everybody else problems but their own smh
Roman is actually getting more and more rude. I love Andre but treat the dude with respect. Also, all I hear is your breathing 😂. Regardless, we know you own TFL, stop gloating about it. Love ya Andre!
So tired of this guy
Roman you can hear you breathing over Andre speaking.
Very unhealthy individual
What's the elevation where they are? Outside salt lake city at 9000ft? Even q Colorado resident that lives at 5-6 thousand feet might feel winded at that elevation.
The breathing is still annoying though
Roman hasn’t done a triathalon in awhile
I heard that as well. Along with his constant interjections/interruptions.
Needs to do cardio lol
Andre is the man. The other staff don't give him the respect he deserves! I like how Andre gives a lot of detail and is thorough when showing new vehicles. Andre needs his own RUclips channel.
I don’t think the staff disrespect Andre at all. I think Roman gets a little too excited and talks over everybody. Lol.
Lol Andrea
@@collincarter1564 😂 damn auto correct
They respect him? Lol Roman just is the absolute KING of interrupting guys..
Gotta remember these guys are working and aren’t just doing it for fun, they gotta stay moving quickly
Let Andre do his presentation without being constantly interrupted. It was worse when you did the off road test. Was like “I’m the boss”
I stopped watching when Ro was explaining how everyone was asking how the speaker works in their previous video, but then did zero follow-up to figure it out for this subsequent video. It just rubbed me the wrong way, like he was proud of his lack of awareness.
Andre is a work horse!! The man is sweating and out of breath just telling us about these trucks. Good job.
haha that's pretty funny
@@bjornironsides6474 I dig your name
@@marimashburn7796 likewise, brother
seems to me more like they are both out of shape
I can't lie even though the old frontier was dated it still look great plus it was reliable n affordable it just got the job done! But this new 1 they really hit it out the park!!
Yes for a while it was roughly the only somewhat affordable truck still being made.
Yeaaahhh considering they kept the design for so long. I own a 2007 and it’s great that it still looks like a 2020😂
@@Evan_5.7 it even looks like a 2021.. 😂
We feel your pain Andre, hang in there bud.
Roman in the last video you couldn’t let Andre talk did you notice that? If you wanted to do the video then you should have done it and let Andre hold the camera!
I agree, tell that cameraman to STFU
And the heavy breathing…. I couldn’t finish the video
@@Vicncoffee they can remove the breathing with sound editing, but don’t bother me he’s an older guy .
One thing, if andrie is Doing the video, he should not be disturbed… coz that’s not nice, if someone is telling the story..And he has to be distracted like this….
It is hard for Andre because, Roman is the Boss lol!
@@mcruz4467 it’s not about that, it’s about who is in front of Camera.. I don’t have anything against Roman.
Hey Roman quit dogging Andre so much, the man is one of your best assets at your company, he needs a little more space.
The Nissan looks much better than the Taco and has better drive train specs. Home run Nissan.
Is that home run keeping in mind Renault now has their fingers in this new Frontier ? The old one was 100% Nissan, this new one was designed after the merger. I am hoping the Frontier does well, but it's something to keep in mind. Only time will tell.
@@matt9c1 false the Nissan Renault alliance fell apart after the president of the alliance was arrested the same as the former Nissan ceo they no longer have ties to each other
Looks have nothing to do with reliability. Before I would even consider the Frontier. Wait a few years..
Secondly. The Frontier looks like a Tacoma...Not much originality.
@@sdp-ui2lw Looks like the Tacoma, really, are you smoking something.
The "Gang Video" format is less than satisfying. Decide who is going to lead the showcase and then just let the other guy run the camera...
They should call you Grumpy Rick.
@@elijahmontgomery4146 Uhhh... They've already thought of that.
He may be grumpy, but he isn't wrong.
Love the channel and been subscribed for many years. BUT THE CAMERA MAN NEVER SPEAKS OVER THE HOST!!!!!! This is two videos in a row where you COMPLETELY AND REPEATEDLY interrupt Andre and throw his entire train of thought off. Every now and then is okay but this is like through the entire video. Most importantly, IT NOT ENJOYABLE FOR THE AUDIENCE. love you guys, really digging the Frontier, and will continue supporting this GREAT channel. Much love from Bama
I sure don't mind a little back and forth, a bit of co-hosting, if you will. But sheesh, this was crazy.
I never considered Roman as a real camera man, he is a host or in this case, a co-host. This is what they do when they want to make a quick comparison or hands-on.
The rule should always be if you only have 2 people, one holding the camera, then only the other guy should speak. If you have 3 people, then 2 could talk etc. It was somewhat aggravating to listen to.
He micromanaged every aspect of this vid.
It was. The whole video seems very rushed. I can only assume it's because they have an allotted amount of time to shoot the video before it's next journalist's turn.
I think Nissan really hit it out of the park with the design of this truck. It has the best aspects of a lot of different trucks. The headlights of a Ram, the side vertical slats and fender swish of a Chevy and the lower side window of a Ford. If I was in the market for a compact truck, this is what I would buy.
lil late to the party but the party is still going. Competition is always a win for us consumers. As a current and happy 19’ taco owner. i hope Nissan does well. 👍 Looking forward to more frontier test videos gentlemen 👍
Best comment of the day!
@@ant208 As a Tacoma owner as well, 16 and 21 model owner. I'm glad to finally be seeing something that's competitive. I don't care for the Nissan interior unfortunately. But having the TRD Tacoma, I'm still biased for the Tacoma overall. But I'm going to be test driving the Frontier, just like I did with the Colorado and the Ranger to compare. So far I'm look at this Nissan to beat the Ford and The Chevy.
Had no idea they were 19 feet long! Must suck to park.
Is Roman OK? I can hear his labored breathing on the video.
They sound like the are racing through this. I'm not sure why by Andre was talking very quickly.
@@Fix_It_Again_Tony - They are probably under a time constraint since this is a Nissan press event.
Gas station hot dogs, also he should start wearing a brah
@@Fix_It_Again_Tony Andre had a work out there with Roman rushing him the whole time 🤣🤣🤣
@@bennyb6071 I thought it was a bro?
Roman, please let Andre talk the details and stop spewing your little personal bias.... Thank you...
I love how wholesome and enthusiastic andre is. Could watch this guy all day long talk about trucks.
Really wish the guy recording would not interrupt him constantly and let andre do his thing.
Roman, are you ok? Your breathing is quite strong at the camera.
Interrupting every 5 secs, definitely he will be tired 🥵
Frontier looks much better to me, Had a Tacoma,overrated to me!
Too bad that Toyota/Lexus has such poor styling across most of their product line. However, 4 Runner and Land Cruiser are OK.
Everyone pitch in dollar or two for TFL to hire a quiet cameraman
😂
Roman must of had strong coffee…..
Sounds like a heart attack
Nissan needs to get its sticker pricing in order. My 21 Titan Pro-4x sticker was $55k, but I paid $45k. With the constant incentives, Nissan would sell a boat load more trucks if the sticker said $48k and the incentives were $3-5k. As it stands, people compare the Nissan sticker to the big 3 and don't see the value.
That's the big issue. People compare the sticker price and that's it, they don't look at what you're actually getting for the money. The Nissan Titan, for example, gives you for $40k what the other guys give you for $50k by the time you've added all the features that the Titan comes standard with that the other guys make you pay for... like a v8 engine, push-button start, a dampened tailgate, sliding rear window, cruise control, power locks and windows, led bed lights, fender liners, soft-touch door armrests, and the most standard safety features in the class.
Absolutely!! Loaded Titans appear expensive but with Nissan rebates and dealer incentives, one can get a great discount. Of course these days are not normal markets and discounts are less. I went to check out a Tundra in May 2021 and they said no discount. Then stopped by the sales when servicing my toyota suv and the markup on a tundra was $19,999. What?
@@dave3682 I think Nissan is worried if they price it better than the others, people will think it's a lesser price because it's a lesser truck.
Don’t matter. Why buy a damn Nissan in the first place
@@Who-Uhm-Cares most standard power, tech, and safety features in it's class as well as the longest warranty. That's why.
Andre looks like he’s going to pass out.
That Nissan looks damn good.
Hate to say it but yes it does
Andre's one of my most favorite reviewers ever. If he ever made his own channel I'd subscribe instantly.
Dang Roman, your heavy breathing while standing still is disturbing.
Lol cameraman sounds like he needs to be on a ventilator, that would probably keep him quiet too. Decent video nonetheless thanks y'all.
Where nissan struggles to meet toyota is reliability and longevity
Trucks are pretty solid I think. Nothing wrong with the old Frontier
The Frontier actually has a pretty reliable track record. In a recent episode a Frontier was displayed with over one million miles on it.
@@jasonrock5220 yes sir I watched that one also
I've never found that to be true. I have found the Nissan trucks I've owned to be very reliable. They biggest problem with the old Frontier (2005+) was the radiator allowed coolant into the transmissions fluid, but they fixed that in 2009-2010. Tacomas have problem with rusting out frames in North America.

Mister micromanage himself, Roman.
I own a 2015 Frontier Pro 4X and its amazing. I think the new model looks awesome also. They did a great job.
I own 20 tacoma trd offroad. Frontier looks really good
you own 20 tacomas? why?
i own a 2020 trd offroad too. i love it.
@@bgaabo3 work fleet maybe?
@@jamescalvert240 same. Have you had any issues with your crawl control?
@@SeanStewart88 pre-2020 crawl control was better. They nerfed it in 2020.
can you guys stop using the wide angle lens? it throws off all the proportions of the truck.
Yeah, the angle is a bit too wide, need to dial it back in just a bit. They could probably also do something in the software apps to help correct the proportions too, but definitely need a less wide lens 😳
Sure they can. But have you never seen a Tacoma in person or even just in general a midsize truck in this age?
@@Disastrousmedia whatever numbnuts.
Good god, Roman! Let Andre speak!
I thought Roman was gonna hyperventilate with all that heavy breathing.
I dig it. I have a last gen Frontier that has been bulletproof (I only mention because Toyota people act like Toyota is the only one who can make a reliable vehicle). Looking forward to seeing the updated Tacoma in a couple years (assuming another 10 year generation), but this Frontier will probably be my next truck. Just giving the new powertrain another year to see if any issues pop up as the 2020's start to get higher mileage.
I can see visual similarities with individual parts, but I don't think these two look similar as a whole.
I sure hope it is better than the Titan.
The really funny part is toyota has more recalls than Nissan.😆
@@conradsealy9603 I haven't heard of any in a long time....so where are they...what are they?
@@mikefoehr235 Nissan isnt on this list. But toyota and even honda as well. www.startrescue.co.uk/news/top-10/top-10-biggest-car-recalls-of-all-time
@@conradsealy9603 The recall with the floor mats...a mechanic told me people were using NON TOYOTA mats in their vehicles. If you check, all Toyotas have DO NOT USE ANY OTHER MAT embossed in the mat. If you are a large automaker like Toyota...recalls can be big. Nissan is a small auto maker in comparison.
Seriously. Let Andre speak! This man is so underappreciated!
If Tacoma and Frontier are similar then the Frontier is going to need to undercut the Tacoma price to gain market share when up against the well established segment leader, the Tacoma.
as someone who is a fan of the Frontier, you are absolutely correct. the Frontier stands no chance if they're similarly priced unless people are that brand loyal.
That's right. Not to say Nissan will not get sales (because I'm sure this beautiful beast will sell). But to actually dent the segment leader's sales, they'll have to beat them where it matters most, in the consumer's wallets.
Tacoma fan and owner here
Nissan sales have not been hurt too much, I guess not enough people know that the old CEO is a wanted man 🤔😒
Good to see Nissan upped their game. Can't wait for Toyota response!!
Knowing them they'll announce it this year and it'll come out 4 years from now.
@@primalj_2a433 and be uglier than the all ready uglier model…I hope it looks good because Toyota is second only to Honda for making ugly vehicles. IMHO That frontier looks better from every angle, looks like a handsome Tacoma

@@greatcornholio5541 to each their own. I prefer the 3rd gen Tacoma to pretty much any other mid-size truck. Certainly more than the 2nd gen Tacoma and leaps and bounds better than the Ranger or Gladiator.
@@greatcornholio5541 that's your opinion. I think honda, toyota, and nissan make great looking vehicles
The frontier looks more aggressive than the Tacoma .

My god, this truck looks better every time I see it. I haven't seen the graphics package that's on this one, I like it!
Really? Lol
@@daveninjaneuro7089 not everybody likes the same things. You don't gotta be rude about it.

I’m a Toyota man I owned a few Tacoma‘s and I now own a 2020 tundra pro I have to say I think I’d like to Nissan better
Super annoying when two people fight over talking. Every time Andre was giving specs Roman would cut him off and give an opinion.
Rip tacoma, highlander.

@@ibrahimbashir6634 frontier looks exactly like a little Titan
@@dexterrr9163 yeah in your day dreams
@@dexterrr9163 and the titan is probably the ugliest truck on the road.
yall just salty that frontier looks way better than the tacoma
I have a 2018 Tacoma TRD off road, and love it. I do really like the new Frontier. I think the only issue with the new Frontier is that they only seem to match or slightly edge out the Tacoma, the Tacoma is at the end of its life cycle and the Frontier isn’t even out yet. The Frontier will be a good truck, but it’s going to seem old fast when the next Tacoma (and others) come in the next 1-2 years.
Agreed. Toyota just needs to make one that’s more gas efficient and it’s game over.
I think it will all come down to price. If Nissan is significantly cheaper it could do decently.
@@ericgallagan946 Yeah they do, if the direction of the Tundra is any indication I expect a 4cyl turbo with possible hybridization too, sounds like 10spd autos are coming too
@@Michael-ur5qb Price will help them I think, but only so much. When people know they have class (vehicle) leading resale I think they are willing to pay more in the front end
I agree. I do hope toyota does something about the comfort and driver's seating position. Also I think they need some better offroad protection i.e. better skid plates on the TRD model.
As someone who has owned both, Nissan Frontier is not even in the same league as a Toyota Tacoma. The Toyota Tacoma is far superior. Especially since you can still buy the Tacoma with a manual Aisin Transmission. Nissan's automatic Jatco Transmissions are known to have several problems.
Tacomas are terrific but I am (and always have been) a Frontier fan!!
The better driver seat will be the deciding factor for me.
Agree the Tacoma seat doesn’t sit high enough from the floor for my bad back. The seating position seems to stretch’ my legs strait out and feels too much like a car for me.
Always
Never got all the hate on the Tacoma seats. Im 6"1' and never had an issue. It isnt the most spacious or comfortable thing ever, but its a midsize truck; you shouldnt expect it.
@@DropTheBunny that's nonsense, Toyotas just have bad seating positions. My Hilux is no different. And a Midsize truck is far from a small vehicle, of course people should expect it to have enough room.
@@Flying_GC Its subjective. Whats acceptable to some may not be to others. I just never had an issue with Tacoma seats. They arent as small as they used to be, but they arent passenger vehicles either, even though they have 4 seats. They arent exactly designed for maximum comfort.
That Nissan looks so good
Id take the Nissan for sure. Curious if Nissan warranty will be better?
Toyota doesn’t have good bumper to bumper warranty’s…actually lowest in the business. I know it’s the most reliable but if you did get a lemon outside that warranty it could be a problem
Nissan has the warranty forever they been issuing with their new vehicles. Once the bumper to bumper warranty is done, the warranty forever is for the lifetime of the vehicle. But only covers the power train
@@richardstewart7263 5 year 100K bumper to bumper was their last one. So basically if you can get a low interest 5 year/60 month loan with a decent down payment/trade in its a damn good deal. My guess is they are going to seal a lot of these good looking trucks
@@greatcornholio5541 once the bumper to bumper warranty is over, the new Nissan warranty forever is still good for the lifetime of the vehicle. Covers only the power train
You spelled your last name wrong
I will give my 2016 Tacoma to my son in three years and he’ll probably give it to his son. That’s why people love Tacoma. Reliability! I forgot about resale, I can get 33k for my 6 year old truck.

@@dirkdiggler7990 I paid mine off already.
@@redskins1120 That's Good👍
Mine (2016 taco) is payed off? and lifted with 55k miles, the new Frontier has to prove itself first. Until then the Tacoma is the king.
Andre is my favorite host of TFLT, he IMO has the most honest and unbiased reviews.
Humidity must be over 90% at +90° for the cameraman to be breathing like that
Tacoma is still the best choice, especially given the dipped-in-gold resale value of Tacomas. My used one went UP in value. Love that truck.
Yuuuup they’re asking 40k for my 38k truck. Idk if I should sell, otherwise I wouldn’t have a vehicle to use. In today’s market, car prices are through the roof especially used cars, so buying another car/truck will be nearly impossible with the money I’m getting. I saw a 4 runner at the dealer with MSRP of 47k these guys were asking for 62k and that’s not including sales TAX!! TF lmao

Nissan is finally getting it!!!
I would agree if they didn't drop the manual. Some people only buy manuals.
@@jakethesnake1503 lmao who?
Between the heavy breathing and rushing to talk over each other this was very difficult to watch. Roman how about you do your own videos and we can choose to ignore you? I'm starting to understand why a couple automakers have blacklisted TFL.
Name drop em
It doesn't matter what other features the Nissan has, the Tacoma is still better for one reason: You can still get a Tacoma with a manual transmission.
As a Tacoma owner I think Nissan nailed the redesign. I just wish the grille was a touch taller. The center stack also kind of reminds me of an early 2000's computer monitor with the plastic they use. Other than that I love it!
Tacoma is everywhere but the frontier is nice and has great durability reviews both trucks are good for the small truck segment great for hunting trails with narrow paths, great review Andre and Roman
Dang Roman got to lay off the smokes or burgers, your breathings a little too heavy :)
Maybe it’s because he works his ass off? You gotta lay off the asshole. 😜
@@cameronj9890
Probably not
I would look at the Nissan. The Tacos v6 automatic combo is a dumpster fire.
This is the 2018/2019 (pre face-lift) Tacoma. Not a huge deal, but it's not the newest version like they said.
Nissan took a long time to make a new frontier, but they did a great job with this 2022 Nissan Frontier.
Tacoma has crawl control and a rear locker but the Nissan at least on paper has better mpg
When it comes to trucks. I respect Andre's opinion above all else. His opinion is the standard by which all others are judged.
Today, I would take the Frontier. Tacoma needs to be updated. But I believe TFL said the Tacoma is #2 volume selling truck.
That's how Toyota jacks those reliability ratings up. They design a new vehicle and work all the bugs out of it in the first couple of years and then let it stagnate for 2 decades.
@@nathanmcdonald610 the irony is that the last frontier was out for 17 years before a refresh.
@@samuelrowland76 That's true, and it as well went on to be viewed as a solid reliable truck for same reasons as the Tacoma.
I have to agree with MANY of the posters here. Roman! PLEASE let Andre talk OR get Tommy to do this job! Andre and Tommy have a back and forth banter that works for RUclips perfectly!
We KNOW you're the financial boss BUT STILL ...... LET ANDRE BREATHE during his videos --- STOP INTERRUPTING !!!! This bit of advice is coming from a pro-level Camera Operator/Cinematographer who has been at this for 30+ years! STOP interrupting the presenter!
v
With regards to the Tacoma, I missed the part where you guys showed & talked about the 4 wheel disc brakes, fully boxed frame, front locking diff, and terrain management features & locking rear diff that can be used in 2HI and 4HI. Oh wait...the Tacoma has NONE of those, LOL!
If only Nissan would just come out and say all these things including the new 60:1 low range.. game over for Tacoma turd.
I've been saying that to all Toy boy's forever. They mocked my 08 Nissmo with 280.975 miles with no issues other than the timing chain and cam sensor's I've replaced at 200,000mi!! .my Frontier runs all over them! even the newer Tacos aren't really a match for my truck that still pulls like a mule. This probably the reason Nissan engineers took so long to introduce the new Frontier cuz the current one is one awesome truck that laughs at the competition.
@@chrisgarcia5462 laughs at the competition? Lol that's funny for a 17 year old truck since its so outdated. The new one still uses the old truck frame, engine is 2 years old, offroad system is still 17 years old. Even the fake pickup ford maverick has offroad modes. That's sad, Nissan is too cheap to do anything innovative. Thats Nissan for you. The back of the pack leader lol
@@beexiong2995 You a funny guy and obviously don't know shit about trucks. If it ain't broke don't fix. The new technology these days on modern trucks haven't proved shit and is super unreliable in other brands of trucks. I'll stick to my 95& 08 Nissmo Frontiers that have been ultra reliable over years.
@@chrisgarcia5462 are you kidding? New trucks have both systems.. old standard transfer case for 4 hi/4lo, locker, and manage to have offroad modes at the same time. So what's nissans excuse? Stop making excuses for a company thats in the shithole tryin to dig itself out. They cant afford to engineer anything so they reuse old shit. Kidding me? You think its all a gimmick until you get stuck. Every midsize truck in the segment has offroad drive modes, locker, 4hi/4lo except the frontier 😂 gtfo
Several great points on the Nissan were overlooked
Gotta be honest, I like the look of the new Frontier better than the Taco. Now I want to see it with a slight lift and beefier tires.
If I was in the market for a new truck, then I think I would have to wait until the the new Frontier hit dealer lots and drive one before I made up my mind.
The nissan looks sick. However they should have had the 2021 tacoma in a trd color with the new headlights and grill.
Great video guys, thanks for sharing. Roman we can hear you breathing deeply! You need to take care of your healt my friend!
Roman said, 'there is very little difference between the trucks'. However, Nissan has a way better power train. It has 40 to 50 more hp plus more torque and a better transmission. That is a huge difference. Additionally, appearance wise is subjective. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but Nissan looks better in my opinion.
i had a Tacoma but i ended up trading it in for a canyon.i get the reliability of the Tacoma but i am a tall guy and the seats and the ride on the tacoma are not comfortable at all not to mention the lack of power. but my biggest issue was the rattle noises that toyotas make. or the loud as hell abs and traction in the snow
Nissan uses zero gravity seats which are more comfortable.
I own 2019 Tacoma and I gotta say the new Frontier is waaay sexier.
Tommy & Andre are excellent together and individually as presenters. They keep me coming back. They should do all the presenting.
Is Nathan still around? I dont watch TFL as much as I used to so I'm not sure
@@Ryan-093 , Nathan is still around. There are a couple other young guys like Tommy that are also doing a great job.
I bought a 2021 last April, has 16,500 miles roughly. It has the 3.8 an the 9 speed transmission 4x4 sv. I honestly have to say this truck nissan has finally got it right, I really like my truck, I put a 3in lift and some 17, 33's, rear locker. This truck is a little tank, its the old body but new technology. I only use my 33's when I go out 4 wheeling, the 18's that came on it are ht tread and get about 23mpg. New and only paid 29.500 + tax. Probably will drive it till the wheels fall off !!
The Frontier has always been a favorite truck of mine for years (ex: pfp) now that the new model came out I think that’s what I want in 3 years when turn 16!
It's an awesome truck 😎 it would be a killer first vehicle!
I have a 16 frontier base model and I would love the new one
added bonus is that it's structurally the same underneath as the current gen...so Titan swaps are still going to be a thing
You are going to have $35k when you are 16?
@@Tool0GT92 maybe lol. If I was a parent I would not give my child a new car to start with. Too risky. I started off with an ‘03 Mustang and 300,000 miles I still have it today. I’m 23 so I’m looking to have this frontier as my first purchase, but it’s so difficult to make a decision when all they keep showing is the pro 4x edition
Awesome to Nissan, for bringing forth a solid competitor. It's been some time, but I respect that. This is one truck if i were in the market I would consider buying.
The new frontier looks great looks like a actual truck and I think I’m gonna put money down and get myself one
Roman, for the love of all things holy let Andre speak. I can’t even finish watching these videos when Roman does this.
I remember when the Colorado was going to dethrone the Tacoma, but it didn’t. Then the ranger was going to, but it didn’t. Now this will?
Id take a Colorado ZR2 Diesel or Gas over any Tacoma
@@Bpf1893 good for you 🤣
@@Bpf1893 that's good. GM owners keep my former Boss affording multiple vacations a year. 2014 and New Transmissions are garbage. He has physical data to prove it.
There waiting for a new Dodge Dakota to dethrone it.
@@flight2k5 No, good for you....
For the tacoma You guys forgot to mention the back seats storage and seats functions as flat platform for storage and passenger seat can become a small table
TFL doing more advertising for the Frontier than Nissan is. Same occurred with the Titan.
Nissan Marketing / Advertising teams are rather disappointing
This is nissan marketing though, they invite the journalists so they can make videos and promote the vehicle.
Saw the interior of the Tacoma for a second and thought "Wow Nissan really stepped up the interior game."
Then I realized I had just skipped them opening the Tacoma first because Roman talking over Andre was annoying as hell.
darn it the nissan looks nicer!
Came here for the interruption comments and was not disappointed. Guy behind the camera could've said nothing and this video would be completely fine.
Nice job, Andre! I've never been a Nissan guy but that one looks fairly good. Gonna be hard to beat the Tacoma in reliability and resale though!
As a tacoma owner I agree. But duuude.... That new frontier is sweeet! Its a good lookin truck. Not a big nissan fan, but I will give them credit. It looks good. Im on the fence right now...
That’s my biggest concern in choosing one of these. Reliability of newer power plant and resale
Roman always interrupts Andre out of fear. Andre is extremely intelligent, A software engineer, and an all-around cool guy.
Tacoma owner comments are overwhelmingly “reliability” while ignoring the frame rust issues not properly addressed by Toyota. Just Sayin!
@@ConsoleCombat, depends on where you live and winter road treatments, also personal drive territory and habits. Check the years under the inspection recall. My sons 2015 was inspected and treated. Some were given a full frame replacement. You should have yours inspected.
Would this be the same frame rust issue Toyota has so far spent 3.6 billion on making things right ? Spending approx $10,000 a truck to replace ? I think that's a bold statement that Toyota is stepping up to do the right thing. I just bought a new Tacoma 2 weeks ago, and feel 100% that Toyota has got my back.
2014-2019 Silverados are puking transmissions left and right and GM doesn't care.
2007-2019 Silverados are chewing up lifters and camshafts with their APM garbage. GM doesn't care.
RAM's Hemi has the "tick of death" for years, they don't care. Still an issue today.
Ford's AWD systems burn up the PTU. Does Ford care ? Nope. They Implemented a cooling tube and it still burns them up.
GM, Ford and RAM didn't get the memo about direct injection giving your intake cholesterol. Toyota figured this out years ago, dual injection. Ford finally copied it with their new version of EcoBoost which was a smart thing to do. Crushed walnut intake cleanings...are you serious ?
Just Sayin!
Matt9c1. So I can agree with some of what you're saying. But, what does this have to do with the comparison between Nissan and Toyota? Need to compare apples to apples. Not a fan of Nissan myself but, not a direct comparison what you brought up.
So your complaint is about the second gen model and not the current model? Can we get relevant or do we just need to hear you cry about your son's truck?
Damn, are they still struggling with rust issue? They've been having that problem since the 70's.
Roman created the world of TFL! Thank you Roman. The Mav has taken the wind out of the mid-sized truck sails.
Nissan knocked it out of the park!! I have a 21 Titan Pro4x after yrs running tacomas and tundras
I have the 2020 Nissan Frontier with the 3.8 v6 with the 9 speed 4x4 crew cab and I love it 👍I am average around 19.5 mpg
Is the water pump still timing chain driven or by a belt?
You telling me after like 17 years they finally redid the frontier??
Nathan and Andre were the reason why i liked to watch TFL………
