    @JimiMiki 15 дней назад

    I get that the extra torque is nice, but how long is that gonna last, say, when you are towing up on an incline?
    That tiny battery underneath the rear seats can't last that long, and the engine will need to divert power to the generator to keep the battery charged, since the truck won't work without the motor in between your engine and transmission.
    I am just speculating here, but it would be nice for reviewers to test this kind of things out a little bit, eh?

The hemis aren't coming back. In regards to Nissan, I think it's because of the two EVs they have and they're smaller cars which is probably why they are able to keep that engine but honestly they really should have a 4-cylinder for the Frontier with a stick shift which withdraw way more buyers..
