I just bought one after trading in my 2021Toyota Tacoma SR5. The Tacoma was under powered, there was cheap plastic all over the place, and the transmission was hunting for gears at an alarming rate. Toyota service department told me that hunting was normal. I disagreed, and so now I drive a 2024 Frontier Pro-4X. I love the Frontier and recommend that you take it for a test run. You will probably drive out of the dealership with one. BTW, the tighter steering feels great and it feels like a real truck as opposed to a pussyfied replica of a truck.
I have a 2023 P4X with leather, all options, I love mine. I installed the NISMO catback exhaust and it is nice, 20% less back pressure and much lighter, shed some weight. No drone, very mild tone. Also check out the NISMO red ignition push start button from the 370Z.. it fits, plug and play. Z-1OFFROAD has all kinds of cool stuff.
My Tacoma is horrible on the highway.... the gear hunting is a problem they never solved. Cruise control is so annoying because it is always downshifting from 6th. I found driving in sport 5th on the highway is the solution.
I just traded in my old 2008 Tacoma for a 25 Frontier SL long bed. I really love it, and I can confirm the smooth power delivery from the NA six. Love the 9 speed trans as well. Initially I was going to look at a new Tacoma, but when I found out the turbo 4 is the only choice I started looking at the Frontier.
So far I've seen more of these trucks on the road than the new Dodge Hornet. Imagine, coming with a NA engine, front tow hooks and a hitch. Toyota and Jeep can both learn something from this. I had to pay the dealer $500 to get a hitch put on my Jeep Wrangler Willys.
I just bought my first ever Nissan. A 2025 Frontier SV. Man, the power delivery is butter and really love the fit and finsh. I drove a Colorado Trail Boss same day I bout the SV and the TB was sooo cheap feeling inside. No way I could get over that
It's the only drawback! They need leveling so bad. It just seems like the line of the bed is different from the rest of the lines on the cab and the fenders. It just looks off. Other than that it is a fantastic looking truck
@Jay-nc7vk No, the attitude and dependency disorder of Toyota fanboys is very different and a well-known phenomenon. It's a similar dynamic to the attitude that Harley club guys have compared to other bike brand's owners.
I have heard that the New Tacomas do not have Bump Stops on front or rear now? or really small ones or inferior quality? This is a big testament to Toyotas thinking if so. Does the New Nissan Frontier have proper Bump Stops?
Here in the Bahamas the Nissan Dealership sells all two frontier the American model and the world model they out sells the Tacoma every year here in the Bahamas they holds up much better than Toyota because off the salt where we so close salt air
Traded-in my 2022 Nissan Frontier for a 2025 Nissan Frontier as I like the additional upgrades and improvements. Still doesn't turn worth a damn though.
I feel Toyota didn't put their v6 in the new Tacoma because they knew that it was having problems out the gate from their Tundras and were losing money so they figured "F it lets put the turbo and hybrid instead because people will buy it anyways" so they can get the Tacoma out to make up in revenue because they knew people will buy. also I get about 400 gallons i can fill it to "440" have a daily 128 mile commute and can make it 4 days
Oddly, the Frontier is the least seen truck in my living area. The Nissan dealership near my home is very small and has limited inventory. Ford, GM, and Toyotas are everywhere in my hometown. Not really worried about Nissan trying to take the throne from Toyota. Nissan has a lot of work to do to scare Toyota. Your mileage [opinion] may vary.
@@spinfish1434 Last I checked, all automakers have jacked up prices and cut corners since the post-COVID greed era. As a whole, Toyota's quality in all vehicles stacked up against Nissan's line-up have vast differences. I have owned both brands. I am sticking with Toyota.
@@jeanclaude7018 Its a pick your poison situation though. If you don't load up the bed often then a 5x8 trailer can be had for $1k and you can haul more than standard midsize truck bed in the 5x8. The maverick is available with the 4k tow package. I have a small ecosport that I use all the time for for towing my smaller trailers instead of dragging out my 14mpg F250.
@spyder000069 Yes, it's whatever works for each situation. My Nissan bed is 6' and it's barely adequate, especially if I want to put on the shell and sleep in it. But yet I'm looking for an old 3/4 ton for when I want to lug a car trailer or boat. I sure can't afford the rotten MPG all the time like so many of my neighbors who commute in a giant 4x4. When I don't need any truck, I have a Civic HX that can pull 44 mpg hwy with no hybrid stuff. It's amazing how the Maverick truck is so good on fuel.
@@Blue-moon12 I would buy the Toyota Trailhunter then. It's 20K higher but will hold value compared to the Nissan - 60% loss @ 5 yrs. Tacoma only 28%. If you got the $$ get the Toyota.
Leaf suspension have a much stiffer ride. Rear coil springs for me. Nissan should add bed spray-in liner from the factory if you're spending that kind of money. Interior slightly dated on the technology. I believe the auto-start-stop feature you must engage each time you start the truck up.
These trucks are around $40k, not $50K+ for the competition. Real trucks have leaf suspension not soft coils. Leaf suspension is far superior, handles load much better.
Engage every time you start the truck? Nope. You have a button to turn it off. Leaf springs are fine. I'm guessing yours is a pavement princess😂 what is "dated" about the tech? Adaptive cruise control, LDW, front and rear collision warning and emergency braking, rear locker, heated seats and wheel. It has enough for what you need in a midsize truck.
@@Blue-moon12 All trucks are in pavement princess mode when you travel around town. Nope, I off-road as well. You must turn off the auto-start-stop each time you turn on the truck? Basically, just remember to hit the button each time you start it up? I find that feature a PITA.
JD Power says that Frontier has passed Toyota in resale. Same old Toyota lies keep circulating... Besides, you pay more up front with the fanboy-driven Toyota tax to get the alleged higher resale. Isn't that a net zero? With Nissan, resale Isn't such a worry, because most owners KEEP them a long time.
@ thanks for the info, I am guilty of living in the past, bought my first Toyota pick up at 1989, when I was 21 years old, it was bulletproof and I only paid $12,000 for it
@Jay-nc7vk So NADA actually has the crystal ball to prophesy the resale drop for the new soft Tacos in 5 years, even though they're one year old and totally unproven? I didn't know that. Wow.
@jamestorregrossa1185 My beautiful 1986 top of the line Toyota 4x4 blew its head gasket and diff within the warranty, and blew the diff again before I sold it. They're not all bulletproof. And it never went off roading. My 1987 Nissan did not have these issues.
Toyota is worried their trucks are overpriced and their quality has fallen through the floor. Combine that with the Tariffs Trump will put on them for moving their manufacturing to Mexico.. Yeah they’re worried.
@@DoneDeal2 yup but after test driving after one a couple of years ago, I don't think the company has anything to be afraid of Yes they have a have more horsies than a Tacoma but the frontier just felt so cheaply put together like it felt cheaper than a Hyundai sonata and that's saying something

“Freaking out” is an hyperbole. However, Toyota should have kept the v6 and sold it as a premium option instead of getting rid of it.
I wonder how much the payload capacity improves without the sidestep.
Starting to give off “Scotty Kilmer” vibes with the titles. Not necessary dude.
