    Really shopped all the mid sized trucks on the market. Without a doubt, the Frontier hit a home run for me on every level. I bought the loaded Pro-4X that you previewed and absolutely love everything about it.
    Thanks for a great review.

      (New products depend on the vehicles people bring us.
      We could maybe work you to make a device if you want to bring the vehicle to Fairmont, WV. We'd do it for free and pay you $300 for your time/expense because we could then offer the device for sale to others. We don't need to drive your vehicle. It usually takes about 8 hours to put together a prototype and test it. We do this over a 2-day period, usually noon - 5pm one day and 9am-noon the next. This gives us overnight to verify the vehicle sleeps correctly. We can provide transportation to/from a hotel, as needed. Let me know if you're interested.
      Or, some vehicles have come to us because someone posted on forums/Facebook/social media and found someone with the same vehicle closer to us and they brought the vehicle to us. Just throwing that out in case you participate in the forums and can help us and help yourself get the device sooner by getting someone to bring us a vehicle. Otherwise, I'll let you know if/when a device is made available.

    This is the best and most complete review of the Nissan Frontier Pro4x! Just picked up my fully loaded 2023 Boulder Gray Frontier Pro4x with the graphite colored bead lock type wheels a month ago and love it. The Frontier has enough tech that I'm happy with. Been a Toyota guy all my life and actually went and test drove a new Tacoma. Then went over to the Nissan dealership and test drove the Frontier and the rest is history. Awesome review, thanks for sharing!

    Hydraulic assist PS is better for road feel. One reason why I love the Frontier. EPS is for cars. You lost me on the turn signal stalk. It's ok. And agree, too much is being put into the info screen, like Colorado has light controls in the info screen and takes a few pushes just to change the headlights. I call BS on that. As for heated wheel. I hate heated seats, never use them (and I live in Idaho), but a heated wheel...YES. Do love that no a cold morning. As noted before by someone else, there is a minor lumbar support for the driver.

    The rims being premium are very Cheesy , Fake Beadlocks Ill pass on that I don't do Fake anything , I test drove it and its actually really solid I really liked it but I ended up going with a Canyon AT4X still waiting for it to come, I wanted more Tech and a front Locker along with more clearance. I find myself off road allot and the side steps are also a NO NO if you want to be more serious off road they interfere with clearance I would rather a slider , Its a nice truck until you actually think about it and do your homework unless your just branded Nissan , also the cutouts at the front tires are Painted opposed to the cutouts on the ZR2/Canyon they are black plastic not painted , I feel like your just asking for it with the Frontier with the cutouts being painted like that. I like the analog gauge cluster but the info screen in the middle is to small , I also prefer physical buttons, I did notice the steering was not normal to me but I didn't put to much thought into what was bothering me about it , I think you would get used to it I wouldn't say its horrible but that its just different. I think Nissan will have a tough time when the 24 Tacos, 24 Colorado/canyons, 24 Rangers are all out in force but for now you can go the a Nissan dealer and get one, they have 4 on the lot near me. It did seem to me that I had a feeling that the truck needed an update but then you realize its a new truck.

    I''ve been thinking about the Frontier Pro4X because it provides a good combination of new and old technology. Not a big fan of these high compression turbocharged 4 cylinders that seem to be taking over the midsize truck market. Or large displays that provide all the information you need to safely operate the truck. But I've also read some not so flattering comments about direct injection engines, which this new 3.8 liter is. Any owners out there that can provide any reliability information on this, relatively new, engine?

    • @PAHROKKAL2
      @PAHROKKAL2 Год назад +1

      Every modern engine produced in the last 10+ years is direct injected. There is nothing wrong with direct injection engines, they last just as long as port injection. The engine in this truck is not necessarily new either, it is based on the same v6 engines in the older frontiers, which are very reliable and proven engines.

    It has lumbar support and it’s not auto stop!

      You are correct about the lumbar, but that is auto stop/start

    😂😂i can honestly say, that is not your driving position. You must have your drivers seat wayyy, way back. I'm 6 feet and have more than enough comfortable room when sitting behing myself. Weird how Youre 5'9 and barely have room. I dont think you're being truthful. Must be the short guy syndrome

    Shame the Frontier has such a terrible, unreliable engine.

      It's part of the vq engine family and has been proven. Calling it terrible and unreliable is far from accurate and is kinda asinine to say.

      @@Garlander Actually it has a direct injection engine which has the tendency for valves to foul up with carbon and the Titan is already having problems. This problem is normally avoided in carbureted and port-injection engines because the valves are cleaned when fuel passes over them. 🤦🏻

      @@Garlander Definitely need a 101 on how to write a simple grammatically correct sentence. Titans have the same garbage engine and are having problems at 100 000 km. Rather expensive to take the Frontier in every 50 000 km to have the valves cleaned. 🤦🏻
