2024 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X vs 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport | The Better Truck For $47,000?

- 👋 Let's compare the all new 2024 Toyota Tacoma to the new 2024 Nissan Frontier. This 2024 Tacoma is a TRD Sport 4x4 with an MSRP around $47,000. This 2024 Nissan Frontier is the Pro 4X with a similar MSRP. For styling I think the Tacoma look better, but the Pro4X still looks very cool. Looks are subjective and each truck look modern. The interior of the Tacoma looks better with more contours and a nicer design with much better screen. However I like the Nissan Frontier use of materials a lot better. The think textured vinyls make the 2024 Frontier feel more rugged. The Toyota Tacoma for 2024 has a lot of basic plastic for the interior parts. The back seat space in the 2024 Nissan Frontier leaves a lot to be desired. The base of the seat is very short, and the back are very straight up. Unfortunately I'd say this has the most cramped back seats in this mid sized truck class. The 2024 Tacoma has a better back seat with much more room. Still not the best, but it's a lot more comfortable than the Nissan. Driving these two trucks is completely different. The 2024 Nissan Frontier still has a simple V6 and is paired to a more modern 9 speed automatic. Nice to see such a robust and reliable engine in the Nissan and it drive like a typical midsized truck. The new 2024 Tacoma only has 4 cylinder engines available. The turbo 4 in this TRD Sport is much more powerful and fun to drive then the V6 and you can get a hybrid version for even more power. So I do like the driving characteristics of the Tacoma a lot better. It's more fun to drive and the extra power is noticeable. But you can't argue with the reliability of the V6 and how simple that truck is mechanically. So time will have to tell if the turbo engine in the Tacoma can last for a few decades. Overall the Tacoma is abetter truck with more room, capabilities and a more fun driving experience. However keep in mind this Frontier was about fully loaded, while this Tacoma was more a middle trim. So there are even more features available on the Tacoma in higher trims. But these two trucks being very comparable at the same price, I'll take the Tacomas bigger bed spacer, powerful engine and better back seats over the plastic interior.

Pro 4x has rear locker TRD sport does not. The equivalent Toyota would have been the TRD off road which is not 47k (neither is the sport for that matter) If you are looking for the better value and a rear locker save 10k and get the Nissan
Not like I have a ton of Tacomas to film lol. They get one at a time. But these were the same price at least. So nice to see what they each offer for the same money. Frontier is a better value. But the Tacoma is still a nicer truck overall.
Let’s amend that a little, you can get one of the trd off roads for about 47 msrp, it just probably won’t have the rear locker or anything else you actually want lol. It is horrendous the direction Toyota is going in with what they’re offering and what they want us to pay in order to play. The Tacoma’s are starting to stack up on lots everywhere so I guess we’re all voting with our pocketbooks. I’ve seen maybe one out in the wild since it’s been on dealer lots, an my local dealer currently has 8-10 new Tacoma’s or more.
Agreeded and the Nissans look better also and Im thinking will be more reliable with their V6, Toyota F'ed up big time by going T 4 cylinder and no V6 option.
I got a 2024 frontier, waited a bit for the refresh to update bugs and stuff. Coming from a 2012 frontier 310k miles. 2024 pro4x feels like a very solid truck, I recommend it. God bless 🙏🏼.
Oh nice! Yeah it's a pretty solid truck for sure!
I hope to buy a pro4X later on this year
That 47k Frontier is going for 38-40k right now. it also has a rear locker, that sport does not.
Oh yeah? I guess Nissan has some discounts on them? Nice truck overall and cool to see the locker. A similar priced TRD Off Road would have the locker. The Tacoma's all seem to be about a similar price range depending on how you spec them
thats not true. the base model is 38-40k
@@UnrulyLK that may be MSRP but that’s not what they go for OTD. in central Arkansas they are regularly five to $6000 off before you even start to negotiate..
Please tell me where you're seeing them at this price.
The Tacoma used to boast reliability with its na v6, but not anymore. I will take the frontier everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.
How do you know it won’t be reliable?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Turbo engine.
@@OGtruthserum turbo engines have been around for a long time..
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Turbo diesel my friend.
@@OGtruthserum not interested in a diesel..
People complaining about the Pro 4X "heavy" steering. It's not heavy, it's just electric power steering is way light. Too light for a truck in my opinion, the truck feels sturdy in the road.
It’s definitely heavy. Not good for tight turning either.
I agree because I had a Tacoma and with the steering being too light I questioned whether I was actually driving a truck.
@@ChrisGarcia.25 the Nissan is way too tight and heavy, not ideal for parking lots or trails
@BrosFOURRSpeed I can turn while stopped with the heel of my hand. Heavier yes, but don't oversell it.
@@GNandGS we took one offroad and there’s a clear distinction with it, just going off experience..
This was a really, really good review. No cliched power chord sound track. No vapid parroting of publicist talking points. Quick pacing and focused on the things that matter rather than droning on about the color of the stitching. Very well edited. And, he committed to his conclusions. It was a pleasure to watch.
Glad you liked it! We like to keep things simple!
I’ve owned 2 Tacomas and I’m currently driving a ‘24 Pro4X that I love. The thing with the turbo trucks is that the turbo and associated cooling system add 2 more layers of complexity. Turbos work great and are reliable on low rpm diesel engines but no so much on high rpm gas engines.
Turbo tech is nothing new tho. So we'll see as time goes on how reliable this new setup can be.
100 % right ! as a mechanic and my son is a master mechanic we have seen that, tubro 4s in heavy truck applications are under alot of stress and wear out much faster than say a tried and true V6/8.
@@beardumaw24 it’s not a superduty lol, I plan on towing 6K pounds with mine, it worried about it at all..
Great review 🔥👍💙
Thank you!
Nice review 👍 I also ended up choosing the tacoma, the nice thing about a 4 cylinder and no hybrid system is all the room you get under the hood! Everything seems to be very accessible
Yeah that's definitely true! I don't really see the need for the Hybrid. Plenty of power in this engine and less complexity.
Hope you don't regret your decision in 70-80,000 miles, tubro 4s just don't hold up in truck applications.
I wonder how the resale values compare.
We’ll have to see, the new Tacoma is still being sold new lol
Man the frontier is gorgeous and has a better engine. No brainer.
The frontier needs another update. Not a fan of it. Tacoma all day..
@@BrosFOURRSpeed you do realize that the frontier is a natural V6 while the taco is turbo charged right?
@@aidenarkham yup, and? My brother sold his 3rd gen to buy the 4th gen. Has more power than the V6 too..
@@BrosFOURRSpeed well they're not as reliable, forced induction causes more pressure in the engine block wearing them out faster. If you knew anything about engines that would be a major concern of yours.
@@aidenarkham Turbo engines have been around for decades, I know plenty about engines, it’s not a concern. We’ve owned several turbo cars with zero issues, one with 50K miles and was perfect fine and running normal.
How come no one has ever mentioned anything about if you can remove the back head rests for better viewing?
Never thought of that. I know last gen Tacomas folded down. I'll have to look at the new one
Both great trucks that each have their high and lows when compared side by side and you cannot go wrong with either. Buy the one you want.
Yeah for sure. Tacoma is a step up overall tho if you can justify the over $50k price tag on a nicely equipped one
I have been a Toyota owner for decades but I never thought I would ever say this "I would pick the Frontier instead of the Tacoma."
Oh wow. Seems like people are 50/50 on the 4 cylinder engine
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Reasons why I won't be buying the new Tacoma:
1. Pricing
2. Turbo
3. Made in MESSico
@@SteveSabbai Tacomas were made in Mexico in the past, that’s not new. But enjoy the frontier, my brother is going Tacoma again!
@stevesabbai, I to went the same direction ! Toyota is having way to many problems with their new trucks now ! its a no brainer, Nissan all the way ! and I was a die hard Toyota fan. But as a mechanic I know what to buy and not to buy.
@@beardumaw24 what problems do the new Tacomas have? Can you be specific?
Pro 4X has payload of 1220 and not 1500. Specs on Toyota website says payload to be 1610 to 1705 (Dealer websites say 1380) in offroad trims. Like others have said a fair comparison would have been Pro-4X with Off-Road Premium. Ground clearance of 8.6 in Pro4X vs 11 in ORP makes another big difference. These become important if planning to Off-road.
These are the only trucks I had access too. They both cost the same, so it was cool seeing what each truck offers at $47k. I stated max Frontier Payload figures, and that the Pro4X is lower then the max. TRD Sport has the same ground clearance as the off road and still much more then the Nissan
My old 8' bed with a camper shell makes weekend camping with a cot and full-size mattress a breeze. Now I can't even buy an 8'. Need at least a 6.5' with a built in shell that doesn't leak and has side windows with screens. No need for crew cap just enough extended to fit my ice chest and stove. Nobody care about how easy the short tour camping guy with no dang travel trailer needed for deep woods 4x4. It would be the bomb for some of us. G friends always liked the roughing it with a bed just fine
There are full-size trucks with 8’ beds available currently.
If the Pro4X only came with a 6' bed!
Yeah it's a bit short
Tacoma is almost $10,000 more than the Nissan 4pro x right now.
Depends on the trim for sure. But a high spec Tacoma is a a solid $55k these days
The new automatic transmission in the '24 Tacoma would have been great in the 2016-2023 model. Would have solved a lot of issues.
Regearing helped as well, my brother did that, but yeah, atleast Toyota fixed it now.
I drove both with the intent of buying one. The sticker on the 24 Pro4x Frontier was 49k basically every option minus the sports bar (I wanted a hard folding tonneau anyways). The 24 Toyota sport (I've owned a 17 Sport Taco and a 06 TRD tundra) with way less options came in at 48k. To get the Sport equally equipped the dealer would have had to order it or have it brought in from another dealer.. That said equally equipped 55k+. I bought the Frontier. for 46k. That said...
First complaint by many is the hydraulic steering. My brother in Law agreed (he has electronic steering) we love it. I live through times when the only options were power, rack and pinion or nothing. More feel and control. At freeway speeds it's rock steady. I guess avoid if your arms are noodle size. Out of date tech. I got rear sonar, 360 cameras, heated steering wheel, remote start. Fender 400+ watt 10 speaker stereo that also rocks. Wireless Carplay and charging..... The head unit is 9 inches but has all the buttons for everything from Nav to cameras and is crystal clear. I didn't personally like the 14" tablet in the Taco. Sunroof. Anti-Gravity seats were way better than the Tacoma's IMO. I like the analog gauges along with the led screen. Tech is Tech I think the complaints are more about aesthetics. The 6 cylinder and 9 speed trainy were buttery smooth. I prefer the Frontier styling. The steps are dated they're not welded on. The steps are bolted and removable for off road. Look each to their opinions but the reviewer here was biased IMO.
I’ve never owned either, so I can’t be biased here. Both are great trucks, but it’s a personal preference which one you’d pick. Just because I pick one over the other, doesn’t make it biased.
The only advantage the new Tacoma has over the Frontier is the availability of a manual transmission. Sticking with my 2019 Off Road manual transmission.
Yeah thats a bit plus!
Its funny how torque can make something feel quicker than it is. Car and Driver has the Tacoma at 0-60 in 7 seconds vs 7.3 for the Frontier.
I think it's because most of the time you are not doing pedal to the floor to 60. Just driving around town half throttle up to the 45mph speed limit, thats where the Tacoma is for sure quicker. It just feels easier to get to speed and drive around town. So there is more usable power for most situations. 0-60 times don't really mean much. They don't actually show normal real world driving
@@BrosFOURRSpeed You don't drive around town WOT everywhere?!
But yeah, very true.
Exactly :)
Jesus, get some muscles guys. It's not old school. A lot of contradictions in your video. It is a truck meant for people that actual trucks. I appreciate that you guys are giving inside looks in all these vehicles. It's a lot of work.
We've had a new Frontier as a press car a few times. Obviously we can turn the wheel. But it has a much more weighted feel than every other truck in this segment. It's very noticeable. So we'll point it out. Tacoma is more capable tho for all work related tasks
I didn't see a power outlet in the Tacoma bed.
You can get that.
Every time I see the frontier the first thing I think is those side steps gotta go. Seriously the truck sits like a foot off the ground it just looks ridiculous lol
lol yeah, I barely used them!
The steps are bolted on and are removable for off roading. I do use them.
@@rcb361 I’d leave the steps off. But it’ll be different for everyone.
I agree. I kept mine on bc it helps the 6 year old get in and out of the truck however I rarely use them myself. They are super simple to take off, i believe 2 screws per step.
you were slouching in the back seat of the tacoma lol and it was way more tight in the back
No I wasn’t, The Tacoma has more room. Frontier is a bit cramped.
I take Nissan Frontier !
Why?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed because I like N/A V6 engine. without turbo . You know. most Car or Truck fail turbo replacement every 100,000 miles.
@@apache4541 yeah can’t go wrong with an old V6. We’ll see as time goes on how well the turbo can last
@@BrosFOURRSpeed also. I like nissan Frontier use old style gas cap too.
Frontier steering incredibly heavy what an exaggeration, for me I love it like your driving a vehicle not steering a vehicle 🚗
Compared to the Tacoma, it'd very heavy. And after filming as many cars as I do, it stands out to be very heavy steering compared to every other car I drive
NISSAN CAN'T. MAKE ENOUGH FRONTIERS
Oh yeah? I see quite a few. Our dealer has a row of like 15 right now. Toyota dealers only have 1 or 2 Tacomas
Nissan only sells 60 to 70k a year. Toyota sells 230k a year.
Yeah they sure are giving customers what they want…smaller motor…way higher prices even for the very basic trucks…yep I can see exactly why they’re not selling the shit out of them. I mean it’s ridiculous that a trd off road with no leather, no big screen and maybe it has the rear locker is pushing 50k half the time when it wasn’t so long ago that you could get a top line Tacoma trd pro for maybe a little more then 50k.
Make this make sense for me especially when they moved Tacoma production to Mexico cutting their labor cost down to 1/3 what it was. There’s a reason they’re not selling well an it’s not just interest rates or people waiting for the hybrid to be available.
You have a link showing they aren't selling? Or just saying that..
You must not have spec'd one, because you can get a TRD Offroad for $50K with leather, big screen and locker..might want to research that first..
And price inflation is everywhere, not just with the tacoma..
TRD Off-Road Upgrade Package (A/T) - includes fabric-trimmed seats with heated 8-way power-adjustable front seats, leather-trimmed heated steering wheel, JBL® * Premium Audio with JBL® * FLEX portable speaker, Qi-compatible wireless charging, * Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking (PA w/AB), * prewired auxiliary switches, Integrated Trailer Brake Controller (ITBC), * Digital Key * capability, 400W/120V * AC power inverter, and power horizontal rear window
What a joke, the sport is more off road capable? This review seems very biased for the Tacoma.
What did you think after taking both offroad?? The PRO4X needs a lift and better clearance overall..
My only complaint about this video is the fact that tail end of the video you did not mention more of the bigger engine in the Nissan frontier. As far as having more horsepower looks like that it’s gonna have more towing capacity. That’s the only good thing that I see on the whole video that Nissan has. I think Tacoma has the best record of longevity on the road dependability and the guy said at the end of the video before he did not mention anything about the Nissan engine is the trail riding capability of the Tacoma I think overall the Tacoma looks much better, except for like the guy said the plastics, several videos are all saying the same thing. The only thing Nissan has a bigger engine. However, the best thing that Toyota has a more dependable engine lol so I guess what I’m saying is, I’ll see you Nissan drivers on the side of the road when I passed you by.
I don’t do a lot of ‘trucking’ stuff, but more an offroad type coming from a wrangler. Personally I prefer all that torque coming on at 1700rpm than having to wring out a v6 like the pentastar in my jeep, better than horsepower imho
I've owned two Toy TRDs and loved them, BUT Toyota lost me with the new turbo 4 and no option for the tried and true v6. Everyone knows turbo 4 don't last and not as reliable. I'm a Nissan guy now ! Jeeps ? NO have owned 6 over the years and Chrysler ruined them with their crappy electronics. And the Nissans look better than the others !
Yeah the industry is changing quite a lot with these!
Frontier is a much better value!!!
Why?
Frontier all the way, about to scoop one up later this month! The frontier seems to be the more dependable when it's coming to reliability right now. That v6 is gonna be so much more better heading into the next 10 years. Maybe when the technology gets better that 4 cylinder can be fine but for it to be in a truck and it be that expensive no thanks. Loved tacomas all my life and wanted one for so long but no that I'm finally able to get a truck I'm getting that v6 just because it's gonna be cheaper to maintain longterm 🎉
@@thecurlyhero452 you realize that 4 cylinders have been in trucks for decades right? That’s not new at all..
They aren’t more expensive to maintain either. Did you look that up or just think that?
I just thought it I don't look things up
@@thecurlyhero452 don’t you think that would be something to research beforehand? Instead of sharing incorrect information.
I love my 2024 Taco OR Premium, the 4 banger turbo is a beast
Nice! It seems like a good engine!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed 8 speed automatic searches gears less, more turbo, electronic steering, its awesome

I’ll buy the Tacoma all day over the Nissan..
@@BrosFOURRSpeedgo for it. Plenty of them sitting at the dealership
@@Jaylakhaili Do you mean that in a good way or not?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed make sure you do a buyers review too. I'll watch it
@@Jaylakhaili That’s been live for weeks now!
Pro4x crushes the Mexican made 🌮
I’d still go Tacoma..
I would sacrifice those faux back seats for more bed length.
Which one are you talking about?
Buy a 2023 Tacoma if you can find one?!
Why?
Not a bad option if you really don't want a 4 cylinder and want a Tacoma
There are videos all over YT that show 2024 Tacos already stacking up on lots and not selling. Finding one should be easy.
Toyota is having way to many problems with their new trucks now, looking at you Tundra Recall !! and soon Tacoma tubro 4s. Its a no brainer buying the Nissan all the way now ! and I was a die hard Toyota fan. But as a mechanic I know what to buy and not to buy, Turbo 4s don't belong in trucks, they don't last under the strains/loads wears them out quickly, just watch. Makes me sad to see what Toyota did 😞
You realize turbo 4 cylinders have been around for decades in sportscar right? With no issues. It’ll be no different being in a truck.
What problems are with the new Tacoma? You have a link to it or you just saying that just because..
2024 Tacoma gas tank is 18.2 vs 3d gen at 21.1 gas tank…
Plus NO shock hood struts..
Nissan has a 21. 1 gas …claiming 379 miles city and 506.4 mile’s highway…
Plus cheaper then the Tacoma..
A “claim” doesn’t make it accurate..we’ve had frontiers as press vehicles, they get no where close to that mileage in the city/highway!
Have you ever driven one?
Smaller gas tank isn’t stopping anyone from buying it either.
Biased review 👎
Can you explain? I’ve never owned either so how’s it biased? I'm sorry the Tacoma is a better truck overall. Has more space and more power and was more enjoyable and comfortable to drive. And is also more capable off road. Has a larger bed too.
The Tacoma looks so bad
Why?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed ask Toyota
@@myplaxismodelisbetterthanyours I love the look! Can’t wait to get mine!
That didn’t answer why you don’t like it.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed it looks like a caricature of a truck. The Nissan looks nice and still like a truck. Toyota is doing what they did with Lexus a few years ago (in which Lexus has started to leave behind) by creating these vehicles with arbitrary design angles that serve no purpose, follow no function and just create eye sores that won't age well.
Funny how Toyota once had boring blobs for body styles, then went to cartoonish styles that look like folded origami paper.@@myplaxismodelisbetterthanyours
Nissan only automatic. Taco has a stick. Bought the Taco!!
Yeah definitely a great option!
The frontier was seemed old when it came out in 2021 or whenever. Steering is very heavy, infotainment sys seems ild, camera quality is pathetic. And the engine feels alot weaker than the older 4.0 variant. I wasn’t impressed
It could use a big upgrade and update when you compare it to the competition!
I revisited the frontier after test driving the new tacoma and i'd choose the frontier still.
@@nelsoncolon9616 cool! Enjoy it.
Want turbo in Frontier ?! Replace with Nissan GTR motor in it than you better hanging on , you going to replace transmission every 100k miles 😂😂😂
That'd be a wild build!
