I've got a 2001 Nissan Frontier SV-V6 4x4 with 226k miles. It's the best truck my family's had. I bought it from my dad, who had inherited it from my grandfather. Best truck ever made.
My dad had someone bought a 2020 frontier with 25k miles won’t shift into gear almost had the owner waited 2 hour for tow truck late night in a parking lot.
@@vce.john1734That’s weird because these trucks are bulletproof. Had a 2003 hit 300k plus miles before the rust took the frame and I had to get a new truck.
@@koaladoeseverythingunfortunately the 2023-2024 Tundra and Tacoma have been running into issue after issue since their release, putting the Frontier further up the chain! However, we will see how Toyota works out the kinks with their 2025 models, I’m really hoping they listen to their customer base! I will say the Frontier is an exceptional little truck! I’ve had the Pro 4X for about 5 months now and have had zero complaints so far. The only thing that I can come up with is the recall that was sent out about an improperly sized ball bearing, which Nissan promptly took care of!
Like most, I gravitated to the Taco because.....well that's where the rest of the herd went. After seeing the 2024 Taco prices and the turbo, it was adios Toyota. This was the first time I looked at a Frontier and I like everything about it. It is definitely "old school" but in a good way. Everything you need and more with none of the stuff you don't need. The frame and suspension are well proven, the engine powerful, and the transmission silky smooth. Simple and reliable hydraulic steering and manual foot activated e-brake. Do people really need an electronic e-brake with motors that can fail when the brakes are locked and require a special procedure just to change brake pads? Even disk rear brakes that the Taco did not get till 2024. Just bought a 2024 Pro-X at $5,500 under MSRP with zero dealer add-ons for icing on my cake.
I drive a 2023 Pro4x, and I love it. the 2025 Frontier Pro4x have telescoping/tilt wheel. and a new updated front grille and a tailgate garnish, looks like what is on the Titan.
My father been a big nissan guy, he had 1996 Square body, 2003 altima, 2015 altima, now me who is raised on Nissan, Nissan is like family, a comfort brand to me, love to see finally Nissan doing better and improving
I honestly feel like the new Tacoma styling copied the current Frontier styling. The Frontier has boxy designs in certain spots and the Tacoma copied that and then put a very expensive price on the Tacoma which makes it very unaffordable and I'm not talking the Top trim, but I'm talking about the lowest trims.
Zero to 60 is better in tow mode actually turning tow mode off is much like driving in ecomode for gas milage tow mode keeps transmission cooler holds gear longer for better acceleration etc personally id only turn tow mode off during heavy rain snow icy conditions & long highway trips to conserve gas or any time i want that extra mile or 2 per gallon
Loved this review. I have a Pro 4x. Your paper straw rant had me, as I agree 100%, I think there is a study that shows paper straws are worse. You did a great review of the truck, I like the old school looks but not worth the extra cost.
@@clarkkent9080 They also have a much nicer integrated center stack that does not look like it came out of a Rogue. They must have strengthened the frame as it has 500 lbs more tow. That's is substantially more. They finally put a telescopic steering wheel which will really benefit some drivers. Redesigned front end which you will like or not. I personally think it looks better. Also like the new P4X rims. A bit of a retro look in those. There is enough there that I would also wait if I were in the market. But I'll keep driving my 2019 P4X. I do agree its not enough to trade from an existing 22-24 or even a 2019 like mine. Because underneath it all is still a VQ motor and an F-alpha frame.
@@HiPlains1 Nissan has provided all the details on the 2025 Frontier and there were no changes to the frame, suspension, brakes, or power train. The 500lb increased towing is a technical paper upgrade only so every 2022-2025 can technically tow the same. I understand that some people may benefit from the telescoping steering wheel, but the 2" of travel, and that is standard in most telescoping wheels is insignificant for the average person. They moved some buttons in the center stack so that could add that frontier logo, something that is good or bad depending on your likes. Other than standard options, wheel designs, and pricing there have been few important changes between 2022 and 2025. I purchased a 2024 PX mainly because of the significant discounts that some dealers are now offering. When you factor in that with the 2025 increase in MSRP and shipping, you are essentially paying $5-7K more for a telescoping steering wheel, larger screen, and cosmetic changes. If you look at the MSRP for the exact same 2024 Frontier built in Dec 2023, to one built in June 2024, the price (MSRP and shipping) increased $2,000. While the 2025 Frontier pricing has yet to be released, the new 2025 Rouge increased $3,000 in MSRP and a few hundred in shipping. And don't expect any deals at least until the 2026s are about to be released.
@@HiPlains1 The significant jump in the towing capacity is what made me decide - "Yep I want to get that in the future". I do plan on towing a travel trailer occasionally (long term goal) but while I need a truck bed, I can't justify daily driving a half-ton and these trucks are gigantic. I Feel like the frontier is a wonderful compromise and the go-to alternative to the Tacoma, which has disappointed many.
I picked up a new 2024 Crew Cab SV in February. My only complaint is that while the transmission does shift quickly and smoothly, from time to time it seems to get confused and not know what gear to be in. Supposedly that issue works itself out before 10k, I'm only at 5k, so i'm hoping it does. Other than that, I love the truck. It looks great (got mine in tactical green), it has plenty of power, the cabin has all the amenities that I'm interested in, the seats are very comfortable, and the drivetrain seems to be pretty reliable so far, here's hoping it is longterm.
You can easily remove the storage under the back seat with two hand turned nuts. I did this so my dog has a flat surface and doesn’t have to be on the seat.
i have to be the one to point out jeez the key fob needs an update it’s in pretty sure 20 years old 😭 it’s older than me my brothers 2009 infiniti g37 has the same exact key fob it’s crazy
Love these Nissan videos. but i really hate this whole start and stop BS. i know there is a button for shutting it off... but just for the drive and i have to do that every time... that button will be worn out.
If I am not mistaken it remembers if it’s on or off. My friend has a new frontier with start stop and I don’t think he has to hit it every time save for the first time he drove it off the lot
White also does not show dirt as much. However, it also looks like your driving a government or business vehicle. I have no idea why but most mid size trucks are gray(ish).
@@chrisniner8772 Paint color does affect interior temps for cars and homes. There are few people willing to put white shingles on a house, even though it would greatly affect home AC needs and save more money that a white car. But just like the car, darker colors will keep them warmer in the winter. And just cracking some windows will reduce temperature increases to much less than 25 degrees when parked. I also don't care what people think but I do like a little color in my life. Logic can sometimes be boring,,,,but to each their own.
@@chrisniner8772 While you are correct in your assessment of color affecting interior temperature of a vehicle and a home, some people chose to pay a little more in AC costs in their vehicle and home in order to enjoy a more aesthetic and colorful existence. BTW, there is no significance difference between white and silver paint in terms of solar temperature affect. And a study by researchers in Berkeley Lab's Environmental Energy Technologies Division. showed while the difference between a black and white painted car can result in up to a 45 degree difference in exterior metal, interior air temperature only increased by 11 degrees.

The wheels on this trim are totally a throwback to a mid-80s Pathfinder. Great looking truck.
It’s actually a throw back to the 1980s hard body 4x4 frontier. It had the same rims.
@@xVERT4x same vehicles.
@@iiiiii7680 ?
@@xVERT4x the hardbody and pathfinder are both the same vehicles. One has a bed and one is enclosed.
@@iiiiii7680 yeah but it would be kind of odd to say it’s a call back to the pathfinder when it’s literally a callback to the hardbody
Best looking Frontier trim hands down. I love the wheels and the extra style bits.
I just bought a 2024 Frontier Pro 4X. I’m still trying to figure everything out. But so far I love the truck.

Nissan seats are awesome. A genuinely great feature in what are normally just ok vehicles.
I have a 2023 pro 4x and i absolutely love it.
I'll wait for the 2025 Nissan frontier with the upgrades they made.
unless you really need a 6 foot bed in the Pro series, your waiting for very few changes and the discounts they are giving on the 2024s are great

@@chanforge I would get a LWB if you want to tow. More stable but the truck gets pretty long. You can still fit them in many garages.

Thank you!

same
hi nice truck btw my aunts 2012 nissan rogue does not have the door opening notches

good morning miles! just missing a manual...
Came for the horn, stayed for the dog
those headlight's are a crime
Using a go-pro on the hat is a great idea. I tried that with an 8mm camera but it did not work.
Beautiful Ridgeback.
The air vents are under the seat!
Wireless charger is in the 25 Pro4X amoung other upgrades
Bro really said, "hello cabin crew! 🤗"
It's the wheels, man.
It is pretty❤

Thought it was a machinegun-mounted vehicle by the thumbnail.
That steering wheel 💀
I think you should try the 2024 Genisus g90
No mention of Ridgeline?? More interior room, Folding mirrors< rear A/C vents Front ventilated seats, wider bed for 4x8 plywood
Ridgeline ain't a truck
There are air vents under the front seats
pretty!
Ok I’m saving up for a down payment for one Certified pre owned next year for this generation 2021+
Personally, there is no effing way i could live like that.
Hey bro can you please review the land cruiser 300 please 🙏 ❤
We don't have it here in the U.S. 😢

Huge plastic cup….paper straw…some politicians buddy owns a paper straw company…nice truck
Why don't you just talk like a normal person?
Remove the shrub
Clean out yer dang garage so you can fit your dang car and truck!!!
Paper straws, like electric cars, are a scam!! Paper straw in a plastic cup and lid?? idiotic at best.
