      How is it easier to work on? That motor is huge and cramped in the engine bay. Not to mention all the extra moving parts because it's a V6 engine. It'd be a PITA to work on like all other nissan V6 engine bays. You look at the turbo 4 engines and its so compact. A single turbo is easier to remove. People see "turbocharged" and think its complicated and an electrical mess. When it is no harder than a stock exhaust header.

And the headlights aren’t LED’s so if things go wrong it’s cheaper to replace.

Doesn't mean I won't buy one, but I need to wait and see how things shake out with all of this. Alot of the reasons i don't like nissan is superficial, looks too boxy and the name frontier, titan and Pro4X are just lame to read everytime I walk up to the truck. superficial I know, but taking into acccount the people who have nissan's in my area just use them as daily drivers, not much testing beyond that to know if it can be a reliable overland vehicle.

But, either way, I'm so happy to see that they're so much love for the frontier, as its the under dog, and the oldest platform. Amazing, solid, price friendly truck.

They neglected to tell you it has to work twice as hard and doesn't last. This was mostly due to gov't EPA regulations. Things eased, and smooth V6 and V8 engines came back. I predict it'll happen again. I don't buy the better turbo technology this time. I'm hearing a lot about the V6 twin turbo problems in the Tundra and same for Ford F150.

      100% agree. Young guys are slamming me in the comments when I bring this up…but I too lived through the “first wave” of turbos. They say, “Hey old guy, turbos are way more reliable than they were 40 years ago”. While that may be true, you can’t change physics. The mechanical stress on those components creates accelerated wear and that’s going to create engine problems shortly down the road. I would NEVER buy a 4-pot turbo, especially in a truck.

You can have one. The Hybrid Max is a best of both worlds option and overall the truck is good looking inside and out. It strikes the perfect balance between the over-powered Ranger and the dated Frontier.

    Too bad Toyota is jeopardizing its reputation by putting a turbocharged four-cylinder engine in their new design vehicle. Everybody is overwhelmed and just looking at the cosmetic looks of the truck instead of looking at the engine. Turbochargers puts extra pressure on components inside the engine and make them wear out faster. Only time will tell how long the 4 cylinder throw away engine will last.

  • @TwoPair72

    Nissan is killing off the Titan. They can get away with adding a couple more inches to the cab to improve rear legroom. The extra length will help towing. Improve the steering wheel setup, offer a power passenger seat on the higher trims, and match Toyota on the coil spring setup. More and more they improved it to be just as tough. Improve the 3.8's torque curve and you'll have a winner. You might have to up the octane level to get it.
