My dad's '11 Frontier is a bit rusted but refuses to die at 300,000+ miles. Bulletproof engine and no problems with the transmission. Its main competition is the Tacoma which is a little more reliable, however the Tacoma has had issues relating to seat comfort and outdated engine/transmission among other issues. If Toyota is ditching the V6 in the Tacoma then I'm 100% choosing the Frontier. Nissan is giving you a refined, classic truck that other manufacturers are beginning to lose sight of.
I think I'd buy it. I really like it, and honestly even the last generation despite being VERY bland, is actually probably the most reliable vehicle Nissan made in the last 10 years. I think it looks fantastic on the outside, inside is simple and good enough, and as you said no gimmicks. Bravo Nissan keep up the good work!!
I bought my Pro 4X this week. I got one without bells and whistles, and I am really enjoying it. A much better ride and handling that the Tacoma I tested a few months ago.
@@seadoo4life127 No, I paid MRSRP + doc fee + a couple of bs dealer things that were less than 1k, but I negotiated a discount on the 10year warranty because I want to keep it for a long time. Even with all that it was still less than the "market adjustment" charged by most dealers in my area.

@@matthewm3912 maybe you just bought a turd. I just ended my lease with a 2016 Colorado ZR2 eight speed. My transmission was so so. I know people that say there’s are amazing. 🤷♂️
Great truck if going full-size isn't necessary for your needs/wants. Glad to see they stuck with a NA V-6 instead of a turbo 4-popper, sounds good and I like the no non-sense interior.
Final thoughts nailed it, good price, no bs gimmicks, usable as a truck(towing/space to move stuff) and reliable. I'm happy to see vehicles like this still be offered by manufactures who always seem to load their products up with a load of BS.
We keep saying this BUT this could be the last old school small truck from Nissan. As a person who only owns NA vehicles I say thank you Nissan. I will be getting one once my lease is up.
Reminds of a lot of Suzuki's motorcycles. People complain about a lot of their bikes' lack of new tech and stuff like that, but there's something to be said about getting older tech tuned in so well it works just as good, if not better, than newer stuff. And all that time spent tweaking it into perfection usually makes reliability go up as well.
Great Truck!! Why?? Old School refined, V-6... NO BS iPad on the dash... And refined instead of the new %$&^$ trucks out there. Great Job Nissan! And... this is the best car/truck review team on RUclips! Period!
Got a 22 SV 4x4. First pickup. Love it. Completely no BS. Refined and quiet ride. The acoustic glass makes a huge difference. The zero gravity seats are insanely comfy (surprised you guys didn’t mention this). Other than that some would say it’s old school, i prefer “timeless”
I bought this truck a couple of months ago after driving a Tacoma, since have added custom Fuel Wheels, Micky Thompson A/Ts and the 2.5 rough country lift. It looks amazing, drives amazing and and I could not be happier with the purchase. anyone on the fence about buying one of these, do yourself a favor and drive it, you will buy one.
Great review! I've got a 2022 Frontier SV 4x4 and I've been itching to hear your guys' take on it.

Good and honest review as always. We're pleased with our Pro 4X and as you note, this is a long term play (own until the wheels fall off)... Thanks, I was waiting for this particular review.
Well done review guys. I’ve never owned Nissan before but man I am loving my 2023 Frontier. This truck is the perfect mix of tech and utility. Comfortable, durable, reliable. Thumbs up Nissan 👍🏽
I bought 6(SIX) tacoma over the years from my first a 1991 to my last 2021. If the 2021 was my first...there never would have been another. From seat bolts not tightened to the wrong front springs/shocks installed to blowing smoke on startup and to the lesser disappointment of a mis matched spare tire(the list is longer). When filing the complaints with toyota......yes this was said to me...."if the dealer can't fix it we will just have to file you as an unsatisfied customer".......NEVER another. Is the made in mexico quality control the problem...dont know, don't care! Hi Nissan...nice to meet ya
@@barrymccaulkiner7092 the old 5 speeds in the 2010 and ups are lazy shifting but pretty bulletproof. 05-09 transmission issues were caused by a defective radiator.

Great review. I haven’t heard “great transmissions and Nissan” in the same sentence in decades. This is a truck worth looking into, I don’t care schitbubbles about sissy infotainment and screens and my butt being tickled if I cross a road divider. I just want value price, decent exterior styling and RELIABILITY. Are you listening car manufacturers!? RELIABILITY! RELIABILITY! RELIABILITY!!
They had the sense to look elsewhere for a transmission design since they can't seem to get it riggt themselves. We'll see if it worked in a few years.
Frontier owner here and the lack of telescoping steering wheel and turn radius are my biggest and mostly my only complaints. It lacks some towing and payload of the Ranger, but I honestly don't need those. I doubt many midsize truck buyers do, if they are being honest. The engine is a little thirsty, but, wow, it has amazing power. The closest competitor on mashing the gas peddle is the Ranger. The Ranger's torque and it's mating to it's transmission are truly great. I'd have bought a ranger if it offered all the tech and backseat legroom the Frontier has. Driving experience wise the Ranger and Frontier are the only really great options. The Tacoma gear hunts all over the place and GM is anemic. I test drove all 4, and I had a Tacoma as a rental for two weeks (It is loud and obnoxious in the cabin, and I could not get comfortable), the Frontier really shines on the driving and ownership experience quality. The only reason not to buy the Frontier over the competition is if you TRULY need those couple extra pounds of payload capacity, or just want to sacrifice daily driving for slightly better off-road performance. Also I guess if you have to have a front locker then you are very much limited to the GM or Jeep, and in which case I don't even know why your reading this.
Id be suprised if that 3.8 doesn't last. If Nissan is good at one thing its their V6s, look at all the past VQ motors. This 3.8 isn't some turbo-supercharged-hybrid pos hooked up to a Nissan cvt. Great video as always guys..... love the way this truck looks.
well said and I'm glad Nissan is starting to go away from some of the CVTs. The new Pathfinder for example has the same 9-speed which is a good unit from Mercedes
Thirsty, though. If I drove a lot of miles that might worry me, but many work trucks only get driven short distances, so that may not matter so much. From home to the job site or farm into town should be fine.
This truck seems very underappreciated compared to rivals like the Tacoma. It's more comfortable, easier to live with (Tacoma owners frequently complain about lacking low-end grunt), and should be similarly very reliable unlike a Ranger or Colorado. I'm not a truck person but if I was looking for a new truck in this size range, the Frontier would be at the top of my list, over the Tacoma. The upcoming Ranger looks pretty good but Ford reliability is all over the place with their trucks and it may not be a good ownership experience especially for the first new model year.
@@lifesAtrip513 That rocks! But anecdotal evidence is anecdotal evidence. The 2017 Colorado has 1/5 reliability according to consumer reports, the 2018 and 2019 models also have the same 1/5 score. Not saying it's unreliable but just less reliable (typically) than the Tacoma and Frontier.
Well think about it, nissan didnt update the truck until last year. Underappreciated because nissan was too damn lazy wasting time thinkng about the next Z. I give no credit to nissan because by next year when the new tacoma colorado and ranger come out, this truck will drop back to the botton of the pile where it has been for over 15 years
I'm not even in the car or truck buying market, but I enjoy every one of your videos. Nissan makes both of my favorite pickup trucks, and I'm also excited to see how the Z performs when you get your '94 Ed. Hard Body hands on one.
The midsize truck segment is really a massive missed opportunity from so many manufacturers. Hopefully the Tacoma redesign will raise the bar in the segment (again).
2023 Ford Ranger full redesign, 2023 GMC Canyon full redesign, 2023 Chevrolet Colorado full redesign...all coming. Which means Toyota Tacoma redesign is likely coming 2024.
Once Nissan sorted out the "SMOD" problem, the Frontiers and Xterras have been honest reliable (I'd argue just as reliable as the Tacoma) with the mature VQ powerplant. I haven't been able to drive one of these, but I have owned both the Frontier and Xterra from the previous generation, and yeah the interiors were dated but so simple to use, and everything just worked, and worked very well!
Consumer Reports did not give the Frontier a stellar review , However , you guys are light-years better and spot-on with your in depth assessment of a vehicle’s worth … I’d rather trust you for an honest review than any other !!!
I think they’ve done it right here. I had a 2004 Titan when they first came out and found it extremely reliable. The exterior of this Frontier is done right and the interior kept simple, but with the expected updates to infotainment. What’s not to like?
My SV 4x4 loaded arrives at the dealership tomorrow. I'm trading in my 2018 Z71 Colorado. Been a Chevy guy my entire life (62 years), but, with the torque converter needing replaced for a second time, I'm done. Chevy should have fixed this known issue. I originally wanted the Tacoma, but, after test driving the SV I quickly changed my mind and knew the SV was a better truck for me than the Tacoma. Not knocking the Tacoma, its a great truck.
I've had that since Dec. Great first truck and the Baja Storm is a solid color. I hate dealer markup and trying to find a 4x is close to impossible. I got a fully loaded Pro x 48k out the door in TX.
I Own a 22 F-150 and had i known that the Frontier would have been this nice i would have looked at one first. In my small town im seeing at least 3-4 different ones on the road pretty often. So people are buying them for sure...See alot of Cheap versions vs PRO-4x models tho, only seen a few of the high end ones.
Looks like a decent pick for longterm ownership but I guess a Mav would be more for me because a mid-sized would already be stretching what I need. Of course needs and wants... Cheers guys nice video
I don’t think it’s dated at all. Most new vehicles are overpriced and over complicated. Simple vehicles need to make a resurgence. The interior looks nicely done.
Everyday on the way to the Gym I pass by a Nissan dealership and see a "British Racing Green" Frontier Pro 4x with a lift kit.....I always think to myself " I could drive that".
Love the looks of the new Frontier. If I needed a midsize body-on-frame pickup, this would be my top choice. But honestly, my 2021 Ridgeline does everything I need a truck to do better than any of the other midsize offerings. Roomier, smoother ride, legendary Honda 3.5 J Series engine, better MPG. And a LOT faster than the Frontier. (0-60 in 6.2 seconds vs about 7.3 seconds for the Frontier)
Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t the Ridgeline engine come with cylinder deactivation or some form of it variable cylinder management (VCM). That’s one reason I eliminated it for consideration
@@chrisklimek5912 It does have cylinder deactivation. It is seamless, I don't notice its operation at all. And if I want to defeat it, I think the plug and play module to deactivate the feature is $95 online.
I loved the way this truck looks. I was in the market for a new truck. Then they didn't offer this with a stick. Then they didn't offer telescoping steering wheel. So now I'm buying a Ridgeline. It's a far better truck in every way that matters (I don't tow, nor offroad).
You ding it for not offering a stick, then you bought a truck that doesn’t offer a stick? Ridgeline are amazing for what they are. Very few truck buyers need HD capability.
@@thatoneotherotherguy Um, I 'had to' buy a truck without a stick. As toyota is the last company to offer it. And the ergonomics of the taco suck balls. (Oh, I think the jeep pickup has a stick option, but I want to own my next truck longer than 6 months...)
Looks like Jack was laughing at something right before he got into the final thoughts. He also wouldn’t buy this truck even though he really likes the price. Great review again guys.
Two of the main reasons that the new Frontier drive so good are the RWD 9-speed transmission that was designed by Mercedes-Benz and the naturally aspirated V6 engine. Regards.
I’m not a truck guy, but I think Nissan nailed it with the new Frontier. Nice design inside and out, and modern but without gimmicky screens, controls, and hi-tech features many truck buyers don’t want or need. If I was buying a midsize truck today this is the first one I’d consider.
for a medium pickup it has loads of nice features, all standard. But not many options, and it kind of expensive. i did test one recently and it handled nicely and provided a smooth highway ride. Felt better than a truck and more utility use than a car. Happy medium for anyone not planning to tow.
I need a new, reliable 4x4 in the next year or two. Unless the new Tacoma turns out to be astounding, this could be it. Old Frontiers have been very reliable. I'd like to think this updated Frontier with a new (and still naturally aspirated) powertrain would still be very reliable.
I think the next Tacoma is going to blow this nissan out of the water. The power will go back to torque first with the turbo 4 and rear suspension going to coil springs is going to improve the handling and ride greatly
I like the simplicity of the lower trim mid size trucks. They’re the size of full size trucks from the 90’s. Full size trucks now are massive. I have a 2019 Colorado LT trim v6 4x4 and love it. No bs over complicated sensor systems or things that will break. This Nissan looked very nice. I’ll keep my Colorado for 15 years hopefully but if I was in the market I’d check out this Nissan.
I really think that as of this exact moment, if I needed a midsize truck, this is the one I’d go for. That is, until the Taco gets reworked - at which time I think it will reclaim its crown.
Like a lot of others here, I was split between the Frontier & Taco. This Frontier Pro4X marks the last natty midsized truck probably ever. The Taco will be turned into a hybrid or turbo abomination and you can kiss its reliability and simplicity goodbye. You can look at the new Tundra as an example.
Seems like a great truck. I find it interesting that you say it rides better than the Taco. Hopefully that's true, maybe it will give it more sales & improve the competition in this segment.
Grabbed one of these as a rental, it was fun. Felt really slow to me, but I was in Denver. I used to have a 4.0 Ranger from 2007. The frontier felt slower. But I live and drove mine in Minnesota so no altitude issues there. But my ranger got 20 mpg on a good day. When I filled the frontier up, I did the math and got 27mpg. And since it was a rental and I thought it was sluggish I drove it pretty hard. Love these small trucks (although this certainly ain’t small compared to my OG ranger)
I like my 2019 Frontier so much I just purchased a 2nd one. I looked at the current 2024 midsize trucks and concluded having 2, 2019 Frontiers would be my best long term option. I'm good for at least a decade now. Add my 2018 370Z and I have everything covered until I won't be driving anymore. For the cost of 1 new full sized Pickup or suv.
EDIT: I bought a brand new 2022 Frontier. I’ve owned it for almost a year now. Absolutely LOVE it and zero issues so far! ORIGINAL COMMENT: The old Frontier rivaled the Tacoma for reliability. I'm not so sure that's going to be the case w the new Frontier. Ever since Renault got their fingers in the pie, Nissan reliability has been spotty. The new V6 (introduced in 2021) and the 9 speed trans are a concern long term. I'm a Toyota guy but really, really dislike the current Tacoma. I wish I had more faith in Nissan because otherwise, the Frontier ticks every box for me.
I have a 2015 Xterra Pro-4X which was made in the Canton, MS factory where this Frontier is put together. It has only had two small warranty issues in 90,000 miles, and has been in blizzards and 115 degree Las Vegas summers. The engine is made in Tennessee and the transmission is made in Japan (as per my understanding) and is not a CVT. The VQ engine barely drinks any oil between changes. I use 5W-40 synthetic.
@@povertyspec9651 Exactly. The prior gen Frontier was an awesome vehicle that I had complete faith in. It's the "old Nissan" (a great thing). The 2021 / 2022 is a different story. Renault has their fingers in it and if it's anything like the current Titan or other current Nissan vehicles, it's a hard pass for me. Disappointing that a Japanese manufacturer has such big gaps in their reliability record. Otherwise the new Frontier is an awesome truck...but Nissan's reputation prevents me from pulling the trigger. I'll have to monitor the truck's reliability for several years before I'd even consider the purchase.
OK...I'm eating my own words lol. Just bought a new 2022 Frontier SV long wheel base to replace my 20 year old Tundra. I tow trailers cross country and lost faith in my 20 year old Tundra...due to age and 220K miles on the odometer. A new Tacoma was out due to the sub par drivetrain and a new Tundra was out because of the turbo engine, cartoonish styling and eye-watering dealer markups. Last Japanese truck standing is the Frontier. As I stated earlier, the Frontier ticks every box for me. I'm just concerned about long term reliability. Previous Frontiers have a good track record. Let's hope the new model does too.
I actually think this is a well built mid size truck and looks good ! I’m a TRX owner and would really consider this because I don’t like GM and Ford trucks . Great video as well .
So I personally liked the SV 4wd driving dynamics a little better because it was just cozier enough than the PRO-4X , that said the PRO-4X is super cool but I don't off-road.
I guess I'm jealous of the Frontier crowd now. Japanese reliability, a good NA V6 and a good transmission. No gimmicks. That's what my 2013 G sedan is, and I really wish Nissan would Frontier the crap out of that old proven design... bring it back, sell "new G's" at a discount. Those VR 3.0's are already hitting junk yards, turbos starve and die.
Love the review! I am a big fan of you guys and your takes on products and the industry. I've always been a Nissan truck guy and appreciated them sticking to the formula of being simple, reliable and good quality. Trucks like the Tacoma get all the credit for being "reliable", but when you look at the market data it's not always the case. The Frontier has been #1 in JD Power's vehicle dependability study for the last 4 years and has been a top performer in initial quality studies as well.
Oh. JD Power. They hand those things out like participation awards to those who pay. There's also the problem that almost all new vehicles are reliable for the first few years. That just means they got stuff screwed together right. Looking at Consumer Reports (which doesn't accept payments) reliability ratings for older models finds the Frontier consistently getting 4/5 from 2013-2017. That's quite good, but the Tacoma gets 5/5 from 2013-2016, and 4/5 in 2017. In other words, excellent reliability, even higher than the Nissan. That doesn't mean the new Frontier isn't better, but given how much of it was carried over from the old model, it's probably not equal to the Toyota (especially this year, while the bugs are being fixed).
Just got my 23 4x4 in that caramel brown color. This truck is fckin sweet. Hits all the right spots, and the 9spd is much appreciated. Proud of nissan on this one
I know it would be a lot of work, and not to steal Daddy Doug’s thunder, but if you guys had a list of Geese picks I think that would compliment your videos well. You guys already do such a thorough job reviewing that a rolling list of Geese approved vehicles for different segments would be awesome.
Funny thing is I used to like the Doug videos... But it seems like all the cars he always reviews are so over the top and way out of people's price range. Side note when he did start cars and bids... I did so two cars on there. But a year later after he started it I think his content went downhill on his videos. These guys are great they're truly enthusiasts and they really have a depth on their car reviews.
@@mikewaite3746 I still enjoy his content from time to time but it’s definitely more digestible to those that are not so die hard about cars. Me being a nerd and enthusiast, I greatly appreciate the depth that these guys go to in some of their videos, even if they’re more “throwaway” cars so to speak.
The tacoma is sluggish because toyota tuned the transmission and the engine to try to save gas. It's an atkinson cycle engine so when you drive it in normal stop and go traffic it feels gutless. Luckily there are aftermarket tuning solutions available (i.e. OTT tune), and while the hp and trq numbers dont jump up by a lot, that lethargic feeling is gone and it drives amazing like how it should have from factory. Remember that the 2GR FKS in thr tacoma, is also in the camry and IS350. In those applications it is quite powerful and smooth.
I’m an Xterra owner. I was really excited when Nissan showed off the concept version of this truck. I think the big issue with the release is: the gas mileage could be better. All Toyota has to do is release a new Tacoma with better MPG rating and it will be more desirable in my opinion. Ford is bringing a new Ranger to market… it will probably have better mpg & I am guessing a hybrid option. I like my Nissan. I just think the Frontier is going to be overshadowed very soon.
I disagree. Nobody is going to like what Toyota put in the new Tacoma. A 4 cylinder twin turbo instead of a tried and true V6. The Frontier is a better choice by far IMO.
@@bc_usayup. These twin spooled 4 bangers going in trucks don’t do it for me. You start adding turbos and upping compression and you’ve got less reliability. I’ll stick with a thirsty and reliable 6.
I know only myself and like 7 other people would be interested but I’m disappointed the manual has left the fro tier in the last few years. The frontier gets better mpg than the Tacoma so it might be a good alternative, but for now the Tacoma and gladiator are the only trucks you can get with 3 pedals.
I know people complain when they wouldn’t buy anyway, but I will 100% literally be at the Nissan dealer with a duffel of cash the very day a manual frontier pro4x is offered.
modern manuals are a pain in the ass. drive by wire, rev-hang, plastic clutch pedal with an interior master cylinder. the old manuals were good before all that crap, not worth it anymore. the true manual died when the throttle cable disappeared
I would love to see an updated version of this as far as Savage Geese’ thoughts on this truck in comparison to the 2024 models that are being released.
I own a 2005 nismo frontier. But, if I could buy a new one, I'd go for a 2019 model...maybe not as nice looking as the new one but it has all proven tech.
Love the styling of the truck and am an avowed old-school advocate. But perhaps like others, I’d like to see what the long-term reliability of these things are before plunking down my money. That said, the reported reliability of the carry-over V-6 is supposed to be good - don’t know enough about the 9-speed although the reviews by new car/truck testers (like you guys!) indicate that it performs well.
One of the better looking trucks in a long time.

I bought 6(SIX) tacoma over the years from my first a 1991 to my last 2021. If the 2021 was my first...there never would have been another. From seat bolts not tightened to the wrong front springs/shocks installed to blowing smoke on startup and to the lesser disappointment of a mis matched spare tire(the list is longer). When filing the complaints with toyota......yes this was said to me...."if the dealer can't fix it we will just have to file you as an unsatisfied customer".......NEVER another. Is the made in mexico quality control the problem...dont know, don't care! Hi Nissan...nice to meet ya
Nissan: “If it ain’t fix, don’t broke it”
😅
Lol
If it's jatco it's already broke.
@@barrymccaulkiner7092 the old 5 speeds in the 2010 and ups are lazy shifting but pretty bulletproof. 05-09 transmission issues were caused by a defective radiator.
@@barrymccaulkiner7092 Long time 5AT & 7AT Jatco user here, since 2010. 2006 G35x, 2006 350Z GT, now 2013 G37xS and 2007 350ZR GT. Never. A. Single. Issue. User stupidity and/or ignorance is what kills the clutch packs in those RWD-based trans. Stop drinking Scotty's koolaid or at least understand what he says about the RWD-based Jatcos.
I’m not a fan of the rails on the rear, but I can definitely appreciate the old school drivetrain and off-road capabilities.
Great review. I haven’t heard “great transmissions and Nissan” in the same sentence in decades. This is a truck worth looking into, I don’t care schitbubbles about sissy infotainment and screens and my butt being tickled if I cross a road divider. I just want value price, decent exterior styling and RELIABILITY. Are you listening car manufacturers!? RELIABILITY! RELIABILITY! RELIABILITY!!
the 5 speed auto's in the 2nd gen were lazy shifting but reliable. 05-09 models had transmission issues caused by a defective radiator
They had the sense to look elsewhere for a transmission design since they can't seem to get it riggt themselves. We'll see if it worked in a few years.
@@markmiller3279 here’s hopin. I used to like Nissan.
Yes the 9 speed is a Mercedes unit!
I have liked what Nissan has done with their 22 pickup lineup. Sticking with physical buttons for a lot of the features is just the sickest.
Frontier owner here and the lack of telescoping steering wheel and turn radius are my biggest and mostly my only complaints. It lacks some towing and payload of the Ranger, but I honestly don't need those. I doubt many midsize truck buyers do, if they are being honest. The engine is a little thirsty, but, wow, it has amazing power. The closest competitor on mashing the gas peddle is the Ranger. The Ranger's torque and it's mating to it's transmission are truly great. I'd have bought a ranger if it offered all the tech and backseat legroom the Frontier has. Driving experience wise the Ranger and Frontier are the only really great options. The Tacoma gear hunts all over the place and GM is anemic. I test drove all 4, and I had a Tacoma as a rental for two weeks (It is loud and obnoxious in the cabin, and I could not get comfortable), the Frontier really shines on the driving and ownership experience quality. The only reason not to buy the Frontier over the competition is if you TRULY need those couple extra pounds of payload capacity, or just want to sacrifice daily driving for slightly better off-road performance. Also I guess if you have to have a front locker then you are very much limited to the GM or Jeep, and in which case I don't even know why your reading this.
"I burn out in other ways" I almost spit out my coffee, great line. Love the videos!
Mark killin’ it with the humor in this one 😂
"I haven't had a hard body since '94"
Lol. Mark, you are something else!
Id be suprised if that 3.8 doesn't last. If Nissan is good at one thing its their V6s, look at all the past VQ motors. This 3.8 isn't some turbo-supercharged-hybrid pos hooked up to a Nissan cvt. Great video as always guys..... love the way this truck looks.
Amen to that.. i owned a Nissan v6 years ago and it was super tough never any issues with the engine. loved the sound it made too
well said and I'm glad Nissan is starting to go away from some of the CVTs. The new Pathfinder for example has the same 9-speed which is a good unit from Mercedes
I'd pick this over the new Canyon, Ranger or Tacoma. That V6 is reliable and quite potent
Thirsty, though. If I drove a lot of miles that might worry me, but many work trucks only get driven short distances, so that may not matter so much. From home to the job site or farm into town should be fine.
This truck seems very underappreciated compared to rivals like the Tacoma. It's more comfortable, easier to live with (Tacoma owners frequently complain about lacking low-end grunt), and should be similarly very reliable unlike a Ranger or Colorado.
I'm not a truck person but if I was looking for a new truck in this size range, the Frontier would be at the top of my list, over the Tacoma. The upcoming Ranger looks pretty good but Ford reliability is all over the place with their trucks and it may not be a good ownership experience especially for the first new model year.
Hope it keep that way, prices will be always low
My dads 2017 Colorado 4 cylinder has 140,000 miles now, so your basis for unreliability of the Colorado is wrong
@@lifesAtrip513
That rocks! But anecdotal evidence is anecdotal evidence.
The 2017 Colorado has 1/5 reliability according to consumer reports, the 2018 and 2019 models also have the same 1/5 score. Not saying it's unreliable but just less reliable (typically) than the Tacoma and Frontier.
@@lifesAtrip513 bro got a 4 cylinder Colorado 😭 😭 😭
Well think about it, nissan didnt update the truck until last year. Underappreciated because nissan was too damn lazy wasting time thinkng about the next Z. I give no credit to nissan because by next year when the new tacoma colorado and ranger come out, this truck will drop back to the botton of the pile where it has been for over 15 years
I'm not even in the car or truck buying market, but I enjoy every one of your videos. Nissan makes both of my favorite pickup trucks, and I'm also excited to see how the Z performs when you get your '94 Ed. Hard Body hands on one.
Same
The midsize truck segment is really a massive missed opportunity from so many manufacturers. Hopefully the Tacoma redesign will raise the bar in the segment (again).
Interesting you say this. What's your thoughts?
2023 Ford Ranger full redesign, 2023 GMC Canyon full redesign, 2023 Chevrolet Colorado full redesign...all coming. Which means Toyota Tacoma redesign is likely coming 2024.
Tacomas are overrated
@@povertyspec9651 yeah the engine is a dog
I enjoyed the 2nd GEN best. Which is why they cost an Arm and a Leg Still
Tacoma likely to be a turbo sadly.
I bought one. Absolutely love it
Best RUclips channel for vehicle reviews. I don’t even care about this truck and I’m here?!
Once Nissan sorted out the "SMOD" problem, the Frontiers and Xterras have been honest reliable (I'd argue just as reliable as the Tacoma) with the mature VQ powerplant.
I haven't been able to drive one of these, but I have owned both the Frontier and Xterra from the previous generation, and yeah the interiors were dated but so simple to use, and everything just worked, and worked very well!
I have a 22’ Pro-4x in Boulder Grey and love it. 🤙🏻
Btw just admit it, it’s better then the Tacoma.
Consumer Reports did not give the Frontier a stellar review , However , you guys are light-years better and spot-on with your in depth assessment of a vehicle’s worth … I’d rather trust you for an honest review than any other !!!
Consumer Reports is like getting your news from facebook.
@@thesqueakybrake Or like getting stock tips from Jim Cramer.
@@littlestinker9716 LOL , I hear ya !!!
@@thesqueakybrake … LOL , spot on answer !!!
I think they’ve done it right here. I had a 2004 Titan when they first came out and found it extremely reliable. The exterior of this Frontier is done right and the interior kept simple, but with the expected updates to infotainment. What’s not to like?
Nissan trucks are slept on
@@Tool0GT92 really?
My SV 4x4 loaded arrives at the dealership tomorrow. I'm trading in my 2018 Z71 Colorado. Been a Chevy guy my entire life (62 years), but, with the torque converter needing replaced for a second time, I'm done. Chevy should have fixed this known issue. I originally wanted the Tacoma, but, after test driving the SV I quickly changed my mind and knew the SV was a better truck for me than the Tacoma. Not knocking the Tacoma, its a great truck.
Love the no BS old school
First of all, this was probably the best video I've seen.
love the engine and the take off is sweet!
Seats look comfortable
If its one thing Nissan has always done really well the past 20 years or so its their seats.
I've had that since Dec. Great first truck and the Baja Storm is a solid color.
I hate dealer markup and trying to find a 4x is close to impossible. I got a fully loaded Pro x 48k out the door in TX.
For a frontier lol no thanks
@@tundrav8georgia It sucks less than a Tundra and a much better looking too.. LMAO!!!
@@charliewilson3234 tundras are better looking and we have leg room unlike this pos
A ton of quality of life improvements with out throwing the kitchen sink at the thing, keeping the price lower overall. Great idea imo.
I Own a 22 F-150 and had i known that the Frontier would have been this nice i would have looked at one first. In my small town im seeing at least 3-4 different ones on the road pretty often. So people are buying them for sure...See alot of Cheap versions vs PRO-4x models tho, only seen a few of the high end ones.
Looks like a decent pick for longterm ownership but I guess a Mav would be more for me because a mid-sized would already be stretching what I need. Of course needs and wants...
Cheers guys nice video
You guys are the best car reviewers and should have 5 million subscribers
I don’t think it’s dated at all. Most new vehicles are overpriced and over complicated. Simple vehicles need to make a resurgence. The interior looks nicely done.
Everyday on the way to the Gym I pass by a Nissan dealership and see a "British Racing Green" Frontier Pro 4x with a lift kit.....I always think to myself " I could drive that".
Dude…I’m having the exact same problem right now. It’s even the same color.
Your comments about the ranger are spot on. Strong rental car vibes. Feels like you are in a 08 Escape. Great review. keep them coming
Love the looks of the new Frontier. If I needed a midsize body-on-frame pickup, this would be my top choice. But honestly, my 2021 Ridgeline does everything I need a truck to do better than any of the other midsize offerings. Roomier, smoother ride, legendary Honda 3.5 J Series engine, better MPG. And a LOT faster than the Frontier. (0-60 in 6.2 seconds vs about 7.3 seconds for the Frontier)
Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t the Ridgeline engine come with cylinder deactivation or some form of it variable cylinder management (VCM). That’s one reason I eliminated it for consideration
@@chrisklimek5912 It does have cylinder deactivation. It is seamless, I don't notice its operation at all. And if I want to defeat it, I think the plug and play module to deactivate the feature is $95 online.
I loved the way this truck looks. I was in the market for a new truck. Then they didn't offer this with a stick. Then they didn't offer telescoping steering wheel. So now I'm buying a Ridgeline. It's a far better truck in every way that matters (I don't tow, nor offroad).
@DevilDog53 If it has a bed, it's a truck.
@DevilDog53 If he's buying it to do truck things, that silly distinction is irrelevant. There are no meaningful ways the Ridgeline isn't a truck.
Me too- I wish this engine/trans was in ridgeline though !
You ding it for not offering a stick, then you bought a truck that doesn’t offer a stick?
Ridgeline are amazing for what they are. Very few truck buyers need HD capability.
@@thatoneotherotherguy Um, I 'had to' buy a truck without a stick. As toyota is the last company to offer it. And the ergonomics of the taco suck balls. (Oh, I think the jeep pickup has a stick option, but I want to own my next truck longer than 6 months...)
I forgot I watched this. I just ordered a king cab pro4x over the weekend. I've never been happier.
Looks like Jack was laughing at something right before he got into the final thoughts. He also wouldn’t buy this truck even though he really likes the price. Great review again guys.
Two of the main reasons that the new Frontier drive so good are the RWD 9-speed transmission that was designed by Mercedes-Benz and the naturally aspirated V6 engine. Regards.
I’m not a truck guy, but I think Nissan nailed it with the new Frontier. Nice design inside and out, and modern but without gimmicky screens, controls, and hi-tech features many truck buyers don’t want or need. If I was buying a midsize truck today this is the first one I’d consider.
My roommate had been debating a truck and this video was why I suggested the new frontier to him
Maybe he should save money to live on his own before blowing 40k on a truck
for a medium pickup it has loads of nice features, all standard. But not many options, and it kind of expensive. i did test one recently and it handled nicely and provided a smooth highway ride. Felt better than a truck and more utility use than a car. Happy medium for anyone not planning to tow.
I need a new, reliable 4x4 in the next year or two. Unless the new Tacoma turns out to be astounding, this could be it. Old Frontiers have been very reliable. I'd like to think this updated Frontier with a new (and still naturally aspirated) powertrain would still be very reliable.
I think the next Tacoma is going to blow this nissan out of the water. The power will go back to torque first with the turbo 4 and rear suspension going to coil springs is going to improve the handling and ride greatly
I sold my tacoma and bought a 22 pro4x. Best thing I ever did,love it!
7:16 Spin-the-Nissan corner is my favorite place, glad to see it get some recognition.
I bought a 2019 Nissan Titan Pro4x. Put a leveling kit on it with some 33" tires. It's an offroad beast!!
I like the simplicity of the lower trim mid size trucks. They’re the size of full size trucks from the 90’s. Full size trucks now are massive. I have a 2019 Colorado LT trim v6 4x4 and love it. No bs over complicated sensor systems or things that will break. This Nissan looked very nice. I’ll keep my Colorado for 15 years hopefully but if I was in the market I’d check out this Nissan.
I really think that as of this exact moment, if I needed a midsize truck, this is the one I’d go for. That is, until the Taco gets reworked - at which time I think it will reclaim its crown.
idk... if toyota ditches the v6 then it wont reclaim its crown imo. I dont want a turbo 4 for a truck
I personally see Nissan as dirt cheap Japanese ol reliable
yeah, the taco is still rocking those drum brakes in the back in 2022.
Bet money the next gen Taco will be a turbo 4
Like a lot of others here, I was split between the Frontier & Taco. This Frontier Pro4X marks the last natty midsized truck probably ever. The Taco will be turned into a hybrid or turbo abomination and you can kiss its reliability and simplicity goodbye. You can look at the new Tundra as an example.
Seems like a great truck.
I find it interesting that you say it rides better than the Taco. Hopefully that's true, maybe it will give it more sales & improve the competition in this segment.
Grabbed one of these as a rental, it was fun. Felt really slow to me, but I was in Denver. I used to have a 4.0 Ranger from 2007. The frontier felt slower. But I live and drove mine in Minnesota so no altitude issues there. But my ranger got 20 mpg on a good day. When I filled the frontier up, I did the math and got 27mpg. And since it was a rental and I thought it was sluggish I drove it pretty hard. Love these small trucks (although this certainly ain’t small compared to my OG ranger)
I'm already seeing these often , looks good and so cool it's got a big V6 not a strained 4 popper with a tiny turbo yuk
I like my 2019 Frontier so much I just purchased a 2nd one. I looked at the current 2024 midsize trucks and concluded having 2, 2019 Frontiers would be my best long term option. I'm good for at least a decade now. Add my 2018 370Z and I have everything covered until I won't be driving anymore. For the cost of 1 new full sized Pickup or suv.
EDIT: I bought a brand new 2022 Frontier. I’ve owned it for almost a year now. Absolutely LOVE it and zero issues so far! ORIGINAL COMMENT: The old Frontier rivaled the Tacoma for reliability. I'm not so sure that's going to be the case w the new Frontier. Ever since Renault got their fingers in the pie, Nissan reliability has been spotty. The new V6 (introduced in 2021) and the 9 speed trans are a concern long term. I'm a Toyota guy but really, really dislike the current Tacoma. I wish I had more faith in Nissan because otherwise, the Frontier ticks every box for me.
I have a 2015 Xterra Pro-4X which was made in the Canton, MS factory where this Frontier is put together. It has only had two small warranty issues in 90,000 miles, and has been in blizzards and 115 degree Las Vegas summers. The engine is made in Tennessee and the transmission is made in Japan (as per my understanding) and is not a CVT. The VQ engine barely drinks any oil between changes. I use 5W-40 synthetic.
@@povertyspec9651 Exactly. The prior gen Frontier was an awesome vehicle that I had complete faith in. It's the "old Nissan" (a great thing). The 2021 / 2022 is a different story. Renault has their fingers in it and if it's anything like the current Titan or other current Nissan vehicles, it's a hard pass for me. Disappointing that a Japanese manufacturer has such big gaps in their reliability record. Otherwise the new Frontier is an awesome truck...but Nissan's reputation prevents me from pulling the trigger. I'll have to monitor the truck's reliability for several years before I'd even consider the purchase.
OK...I'm eating my own words lol. Just bought a new 2022 Frontier SV long wheel base to replace my 20 year old Tundra. I tow trailers cross country and lost faith in my 20 year old Tundra...due to age and 220K miles on the odometer. A new Tacoma was out due to the sub par drivetrain and a new Tundra was out because of the turbo engine, cartoonish styling and eye-watering dealer markups. Last Japanese truck standing is the Frontier. As I stated earlier, the Frontier ticks every box for me. I'm just concerned about long term reliability. Previous Frontiers have a good track record. Let's hope the new model does too.
I'm not in the market for a mid size truck, when that time comes the Frontier will be my first hard look.
I actually think this is a well built mid size truck and looks good ! I’m a TRX owner and would really consider this because I don’t like GM and Ford trucks . Great video as well .
So I personally liked the SV 4wd driving dynamics a little better because it was just cozier enough than the PRO-4X , that said the PRO-4X is super cool but I don't off-road.
Like these trucks, the 's' version is what works for me. Less is more! Whatever you choose you can't go wrong. Thanks for your review!
My Titan is a beast of a truck. Love it !
Love mine!!!! Got blue pro4x like in video. Just a good solid truck
That truck is damn good looking and the old school rules
I guess I'm jealous of the Frontier crowd now. Japanese reliability, a good NA V6 and a good transmission. No gimmicks. That's what my 2013 G sedan is, and I really wish Nissan would Frontier the crap out of that old proven design... bring it back, sell "new G's" at a discount. Those VR 3.0's are already hitting junk yards, turbos starve and die.
That was a really pretty car you have. Looked good from every angle.
Love the review! I am a big fan of you guys and your takes on products and the industry.
I've always been a Nissan truck guy and appreciated them sticking to the formula of being simple, reliable and good quality. Trucks like the Tacoma get all the credit for being "reliable", but when you look at the market data it's not always the case. The Frontier has been #1 in JD Power's vehicle dependability study for the last 4 years and has been a top performer in initial quality studies as well.
Oh. JD Power. They hand those things out like participation awards to those who pay. There's also the problem that almost all new vehicles are reliable for the first few years. That just means they got stuff screwed together right.
Looking at Consumer Reports (which doesn't accept payments) reliability ratings for older models finds the Frontier consistently getting 4/5 from 2013-2017. That's quite good, but the Tacoma gets 5/5 from 2013-2016, and 4/5 in 2017. In other words, excellent reliability, even higher than the Nissan.
That doesn't mean the new Frontier isn't better, but given how much of it was carried over from the old model, it's probably not equal to the Toyota (especially this year, while the bugs are being fixed).
Nice to see a nice unbiased, honest review. 😊
Just got my 23 4x4 in that caramel brown color. This truck is fckin sweet. Hits all the right spots, and the 9spd is much appreciated. Proud of nissan on this one
Finally a Frontier review from you guys
Finally is right
I know it would be a lot of work, and not to steal Daddy Doug’s thunder, but if you guys had a list of Geese picks I think that would compliment your videos well. You guys already do such a thorough job reviewing that a rolling list of Geese approved vehicles for different segments would be awesome.
Funny thing is I used to like the Doug videos... But it seems like all the cars he always reviews are so over the top and way out of people's price range. Side note when he did start cars and bids... I did so two cars on there. But a year later after he started it I think his content went downhill on his videos. These guys are great they're truly enthusiasts and they really have a depth on their car reviews.
@@mikewaite3746 I still enjoy his content from time to time but it’s definitely more digestible to those that are not so die hard about cars. Me being a nerd and enthusiast, I greatly appreciate the depth that these guys go to in some of their videos, even if they’re more “throwaway” cars so to speak.
Physical controls, minimal gimmicks, I like it.
The tacoma is sluggish because toyota tuned the transmission and the engine to try to save gas. It's an atkinson cycle engine so when you drive it in normal stop and go traffic it feels gutless. Luckily there are aftermarket tuning solutions available (i.e. OTT tune), and while the hp and trq numbers dont jump up by a lot, that lethargic feeling is gone and it drives amazing like how it should have from factory. Remember that the 2GR FKS in thr tacoma, is also in the camry and IS350. In those applications it is quite powerful and smooth.
I still got my '99 😂
Awesome video guys !
The one-liners in this review are off the charts haha
"Well, that was a weak burnout"....NIce... Good review
The only true review that matters.
I’m an Xterra owner. I was really excited when Nissan showed off the concept version of this truck. I think the big issue with the release is: the gas mileage could be better. All Toyota has to do is release a new Tacoma with better MPG rating and it will be more desirable in my opinion. Ford is bringing a new Ranger to market… it will probably have better mpg & I am guessing a hybrid option.
I like my Nissan. I just think the Frontier is going to be overshadowed very soon.
I disagree. Nobody is going to like what Toyota put in the new Tacoma. A 4 cylinder twin turbo instead of a tried and true V6. The Frontier is a better choice by far IMO.
@@bc_usayup. These twin spooled 4 bangers going in trucks don’t do it for me. You start adding turbos and upping compression and you’ve got less reliability. I’ll stick with a thirsty and reliable 6.
I like how they often drive into the sun at the worst time of the day just to test the sun visors. No expense is spared here.
they say the strip on the hood is for sun glair
How is it possible you guys have not hit over a million subscribers yet???!!!
I know only myself and like 7 other people would be interested but I’m disappointed the manual has left the fro tier in the last few years. The frontier gets better mpg than the Tacoma so it might be a good alternative, but for now the Tacoma and gladiator are the only trucks you can get with 3 pedals.
I know people complain when they wouldn’t buy anyway, but I will 100% literally be at the Nissan dealer with a duffel of cash the very day a manual frontier pro4x is offered.
modern manuals are a pain in the ass. drive by wire, rev-hang, plastic clutch pedal with an interior master cylinder. the old manuals were good before all that crap, not worth it anymore. the true manual died when the throttle cable disappeared
@@liveoak7838 I honestly have been wondering what a manual and drive by wire could be like. You’re probably right, not good.
I like it. Really pretty tired of trucks turning into luxury family cars with prices to match.
#2 selling pickup in its class, behind the Taco.
I don't think it's forgotten.
I would love to see an updated version of this as far as Savage Geese’ thoughts on this truck in comparison to the 2024 models that are being released.
I own a 2005 nismo frontier. But, if I could buy a new one, I'd go for a 2019 model...maybe not as nice looking as the new one but it has all proven tech.
Love the styling of the truck and am an avowed old-school advocate. But perhaps like others, I’d like to see what the long-term reliability of these things are before plunking down my money. That said, the reported reliability of the carry-over V-6 is supposed to be good - don’t know enough about the 9-speed although the reviews by new car/truck testers (like you guys!) indicate that it performs well.
Where did this 3.8L V6 originate from, anyway?
@@thatoneotherotherguy Wikipedia indicates it’s a VQ-variant: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_VQ_engine
