I just bought this truck in the Grey color. Love it, its an all around mid size truck. Perfect for everyday drive , plus weekend off road as well . The tires are a bit slippery in snow but they do the job. 💯% happy I bought this instead of toyota or Ford, more bang for $$$
@@rememberthefallen1970 The Frontier is the lowest selling mid-sized pickup, even for 2022, which seen it sell a record 76k units. It's popularity went up, but it still sells less than the rest.
I loved my '98 2.7 L manual Frontier. I love my '21 Tacoma TRD Off Road. I loved the junky cars I had in between. Just enjoy what you have, dream big, and write cliches in youtube comment sections to procrastinate work!
Agree it's the tires. Still did great! I'm sure a Gladiator would do better off-road but this is a better all-around vehicle IMO. Would like to see more off-road reviews when you get the time. Great review!
A gladiator also isn’t worth 70k like what they price them here. I’ll take the Nissan a million times over the jeep because price bang for your buck and most of all reliability which I know for a fact the frontier will run circles around the jeep on that part
I think the pro 4x is more comparable to the TRD Off road than the Pro which is about the same price fully loaded. That being said I would take it over the Tacoma for the motor and transmission but I think the next gen Taco will have something for the Nissan!
@@chetoflep same here .I was suggesting that the pro 4x should be compared to a TRD off road instead of the pro. The fully loaded off road is about 45k. The TRD pro has the fox suspension, different hood and colors that cost a premium. The pro 4x just has some badging and seat stitching so I think it’s closer to the off road than the pro.
@@chetoflep bro! For $60,000 Forget the Toyota Tacoma! That money could have get you a basic or mid level trim Tundra, you can also get a basic or mid level trim Ford F-150 V8's, Chevy Silverado or perhaps Ford Transit van. I'm not gonna spend $60,000 for a midsize toy truck!
@@craftsmantrucker6867 I ended up ordering the new 2023 AT4 Canyon fully loaded. Has the new 2.7 310hp 430 torque engine. Was 49k Just a bit more than the frontier and the gmc at4’s drive amazing! I went test driving this past weekend and drove them all.
I've never had a good experience with Hankooks in wet or snowy conditions. They tend not to keep traction at all, nice ride if it's dry though. I personally love Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac or Falken Wildpeak AT3 tires as I have never had traction issues in extreme weather or going off-road with both.
so, my take on the frontier is that it is actually better than the tacoma and maybe better than the ranger. However I think it would do better with higher lift and bigger more aggressive tires. I'm not sure if this truck will get bigger, wider and have more off road features down the road but I hope it does.
Hi Ben! A quick question; How did you find the PRO-4X as a daily driver [ie: noise levels, ride comfort, and overall build quality]? Thank you for your enthusiastic reviews! Kindly, Graham.
@Graham Steen. Yo my 2nd Nissan Frontier is the 2016 Pro 4X Kingcab 4.0L V6 with 6 Speed Manual Transmission and Stillen Supercharger (No stupid and dumbass lifts) just only Hankook Dynapro AT2 Extreme tires and with Volant cold Air intake, Banks Power Cat back Exhaust, Bilstein shocks and Sumo Springs Airless suspension bag is what I use daily in my Jobsite carrying tools, hauling generator, air compressor, framing nailers and lumbers everyday, I used and abused that truck and it's now at 104,900 miles. Still going strong!
@@bigd2256 it's a mid size truck.. I moved down from a Titan so to me it's small. You don't buy these size trucks for the back seat leg room I'll say that. I've fit adults back there on hunting trips before so they will do in a pinch.
@@TheCr00k6 same here had a 21 Titan Pro4x and I miss that truck. What year is yours? Any issues with it? I had to take my ZR2 to the dealer after one week for a busted cv boot and I worry about other issues now.

The Brazilian model Frontier has a Coil Sprung 5-link rear suspension which is far superior then the US model. I drove one for over 1500 miles in a span of 2 weeks this past June(2022). It's 2.3 liter Turbo Diesel motor produced plenty of low end torque while achieving 30+ miles per gallon. Half of the 1500 miles were back country roads and the Frontier suspension ate up all the ruts with ease. Its was like a mini Raptor. I would change the factory shocks to something better and slightly bigger tires on the Brazilian model Frontier. Again I am disappointed that the US model has leaf springs.
@@NoahPARK82 I know, but the back county roads around here are super washboard, rough and dusty in the long summer months. I've driven left sprung all my life and I have never driven a Raptor which has a similar suspension architecture as the Frontier... It just makes me wonder how well a Raptor would run out here. It usually takes me six hours to drive from our place by the coast to the the country side home. This time it took us a bit over fours hours. We were much impressed. No reason it can't be reliable with good care and updates to the stock suspension.
For the tires of my 2010 Frontier Nismo 4L V6 6 Speed Manual Transmission turbo charged. I only use the Hankook Dynapro ATM RF-10 tires because it's the lightest All Terrain all season truck tires I can find. I don't like the Goodyear Wrangler duratrac and BFG KO2 because they're too heavy I don't wanna lose Horsepower and especially Torque I love Torque! Hankook I use only for Spring, Summer and Fall season. During winter I have another sets of rim wheels with Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 Winter Tires all mounted to the wheels and already been wheel balanced and good to go. All I gotta do is jack up the truck and install the wheels with winter tires whenever the 1st Snow hits my town
@Kusgan, well the Hankook Dynapro AT2 Extreme tires are still good enough for me to perform the task when I go to my Jobsite everyday otherwise! The Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 Winter Tires are the best tires I ever have for Snow and Ice and wet.
If you opt for the nismo leveling/lift upgrade with even better nismo/ billstien designed shocks & slightly better tires you'd see a dramatic improvement both off & on road & a pro 4x with the nismo leveling kit & ultra lightweight alloy wheels you'd still have spent less than a fully equipped trd pro if your opting for the pro 4x id definitely also get the nismo leveling/ lift shock upgrades & lightweight nismo wheels believe me it's like night & day it's almost a crime not to wake up the pro4x to perform as it was designed at full potential
I like the truck, I think it's a great truck for most people. I have a silverado and hardly use it for truck stuff anymore tbh this one would be better for me. If it was the exterra suv version I swear I'd go buy one this week. I have the week off and wanting something new. Oh well I may wait for the suv version, may change my mind tomorrow who knows
I want to see some one put the two head to head but nissan with a 2 1/2 lift and better tires taco can have exact same tires and then it will be a fair comparison. I don't know why nissan gave up on any kind of lift on their trucks.
Nice video, Ben. I think you getting stuck highlights some of the problems with the Frontier: lower ground clearance, lack of a front locker, and not so great tires for Nissan's top-of-the-line off-roader. I know the consumer can buy aftermarket tires (BFG's, etc.) but Nissan can get a little more aggressive from the factory.
I used to be more of a Nissan guy, I'm Toyota now. I hate some of the moves Nissan has made in the last several years. Nissan turning the Pathfinder into a Mall Finder, and dumping the XTerra... I could go on. I got a Tacoma these days.
Nice video, i like this truck and so far it’s getting good reviews except for it’s parking camera. You need to get those big tires and left kit sure if you are to maneuver in automobile locations.
I love Nissans, but I went with the Range to replace my 12 Tacoma TRD off road. I live in Wyoming and drive at altitude quite a burt and i was shocked at hoe much better the turbo was at elevation. My taco would lose so much power as I climbed. Not to mention the ancient tranny. If I had to get a NA engine it would be Nissan, but I am sticking with turbo for now on.
I like how they stuck w the v6, but curious how it will keep up w next-gen yota, ford and chevy Do you think this vehicle surpasses the ranger tremor off road?
Happy Rock well my 2nd Gen 2010 Nissan Frontier Nismo with 4.0L V6 6 Speed Manual Transmission and turbo charged is now at 798,000 miles! Still going strong and the new generation Tacoma and Ranger are still left behind.
If you own a Nissan Frontier. My only suggestion is always keep in mind the heavier the tires are the more horsepower and torque you lose. Hankook Dynapro ATM RF-10 is the tires I use it's the lightest All Terrain All Season truck tires I ever find. Otherwise! You must invest in snow/winter tires. And for that I only use Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 Winter Tires for Winter, Severe Weather conditions. Snow and Ice that tires sticks like glue!!
Im curious if Nissan relocated the evap canister, the previous generation has it located behind the rear axle. This would throw an engine code if you went off road in the desert.
Tires and driving. If you were sliding in the mud you should know it wouldn't make it up that. I could tell even from the distorted video that was a bad idea lol. Plus you're flooring it when it has no momentum and traction, of course you're not going anywhere
The trucks got 360 cameras and your not using them? Plus those tires suck! Hancock AT are great for the small stuff. Come back with a little more lift and MT's and you'd see a difference.
I gave you a thumbs up on this video because of the content; however, the title of the video is bordering on clickbait. How exactly does this truck outperform the Toyota again you didn't really address what you titled in the headline!
I own a ‘22 Frontier SV so I don’t have the rear locker, but the location of the rocker switch is just stupid, why didn’t Nissan put it right next to the rotary switch? and also the audible back up warning is annoying, you’d think the engineers never took it off roading at all??
Where is LITTLE Moab? I lives in the only MOAB known and that is in SE UT for seven years. By Moab standards, the beginning is not off-roading it is simply driving on a dirt/mud road. That's no obstacle, Hell's Gate is an obstacle. Yes tires are easily the biggest problem when in slick mud and snow. Tires on my Pro-4x are ok for most conditions, but if back in Moab, and doing a mud trail in the winter or even summer (not many of those), need a tire with more of a voided areas between tread cleats to spin the mud out. And some of the mud on roads near the air port (Like Blue Hills in the spring), nothing is good. Learn to just avoid it. Generally, I like your write ups , but stick to the paved roads; your heavy breathing while maneuvering does not instill a warm and friendly feeling that you know what you are doing. My Pro-4x is not a Hummer or Jeep...just a great all around. And when I head to visit friends in Moab this fall, thankfully, the roads will be dry...
It depends, a TRD Pro with an automatic trans is going to be a 36:1 but the manual is 44:1 Having said that, I believe the Jeep Gladiator is something like 88:1

Comparing your raptor with 37 to a Nissan frontier, is a little ridiculous. And blaming the tires alone, absolutely not. Then on top of it comparing the Toyota versus the Nissan and not using identical situations and conditions, yeah I think you did more harm than good.
Toyota's have always been overrated, and its primarily because of the aftermarket accessories industry that offers every gadget under the sun for them as the reason they have such an undeservingly high reputation. Not saying a Toyota is not a great vehicle it's just that they do not deserve the reputation they enjoy because other manufacturers produce a truck just as capable and just as good but the aftermarket industry does not cater to them nearly as much. Similar to the slavish devotion to the Chevy 350. Now cue the Toyota fan boys.

Lol great video! All I see is your legs and the dashboard 😁
Mmm. Not the first review to say the tires are no good
Did you employ hill decent at any point
Thank God I didn't get the parking sensor.
There is a button to turn them off
I’ll stick to tried and true Tacoma, unfortunately Nissan doesn’t have the best track record. To each their own though
152,000miles on my 2005 Nismo Frontier and no real real issues
You sure where having fun!!!
Comparing your raptor with 37 to a Nissan frontier, is a little ridiculous. And blaming the tires alone, absolutely not. Then on top of it comparing the Toyota versus the Nissan and not using identical situations and conditions, yeah I think you did more harm than good.
It took 4 minutes for you to mention the Raptor... You broke your previous record 😂
Should have used the multi terrain and crawl control!
It doesn't have any! LoL
@@beexiong2995 I know 🤣,he was saying how the fronter was better.But if he had the Taco 🌮 he would have made it..
Checkout my Titan swapped 2022 4 inch lift
Which cooler is these
No way that suspension feels like the Pro it feels more TRD OFF-ROAD Tacoma. This is extremely inaccurate.
Some people just dont have any clue about these trucks 🙄
hay Ben did you lock the rear?
Yes
@BenHardyCars I agree the tires make a huge difference. stock tires are just good for the road and that's all
Dang dude!!! I have no space in the bottom for nothing... Uuuujjuuu
Toyota's have always been overrated, and its primarily because of the aftermarket accessories industry that offers every gadget under the sun for them as the reason they have such an undeservingly high reputation.
Not saying a Toyota is not a great vehicle it's just that they do not deserve the reputation they enjoy because other manufacturers produce a truck just as capable and just as good but the aftermarket industry does not cater to them nearly as much.
Similar to the slavish devotion to the Chevy 350.
Now cue the Toyota fan boys.
Turn the traction control off.
I see 34psi on the screen why not hop out and air down to 20ish
I run at factory settings to see what the vehicle can do.
Those tires are the most unaggressive at tires I've ever seen
how is this jatco 9 speed?
Its good just one recall so far 🤣
Rear lockers and snow don’t mix.
Turn off traction control
