This truck has stood the test of time
@TH3BL0CKH34D that's me, what's up?
@Slxpstream looks like Mark Ingram
can confirm🙏😂
This is currently the only REAL compact/midsize truck for sale. Simple. Rugged. Affordable.
And that's about to change. Frontier finally getting redone. Good or bad...
I don't know why they keep saying it is "outdated" referring to the looks.....................I could not care LESS . IT IS A TRUCK!
Exactly. These are the same people who don’t want to haul stuff in their truck because it’ll get the bed dirty. IT IS A TRUCK
Doesnt mean the work truck buyer doesnt want an attractive truck for his hard earned money
Dated or not, I think the exterior is the most attractive in class. The new designs are either pig ugly or weirdly too round faced.
i got same truck in 2007 brand new , still have truck i put 180 000 thousand miles , i m so thankful to this vehicle !!! never left me on the road !!! still running great .
I have a 2007 crew cab LE with 70,000 original miles and just recently replaced the original factory tires that worn down evenly for the past 10 years. Minor repair of the fuel pump and some sensors that the service engine light indicated in codes of these changes. Very reliable truck.
Aww.. when trucks were trucks! You gotta be INSANE to pay over 25.000 dollars for a WORKING vehicle. Props to Nissan!
you prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Blake Archie Instablaster ;)
@Jericho Kayson I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Jericho Kayson WTF IT REALLY WORKED! Literally hacked my ig account within ~ 45 minutes of using the site.
I had to pay 15$ but definitely worth the price :O
Thanks so much you saved my account!
@Blake Archie happy to help :)
I'm a appliance repair tech . Worked out of a full size truck for years changed to a frontier last year love the truck . Parking , fuel , no electric bells cheaper to maintain .Big increase in income .
Glen Higginbotham And that's the bottom line...more 💰 for what really matters. Good for you.
Hows the frontier holding up man?
Carlos Yota . bought 3 more Nissans in the last 2 yrs replacing all our old trucks as they are retired
@@Onemattressatatime thats awesome man, im really considering one, I've had toyotas for the last 5 years and no probs but tacomas are too expensive as opposed to these... im looking at one at a local dealer and they are asking 13,995 with 53k miles, so like 15k out the door with all paper work, is that a good price?
@@Onemattressatatime thanks for replying btw
I'm thinking that Nissan should promote the dickens out of this truck. Especially with this price bracket and being the 'honest' truck that it is.
Now the Nissan Frontier King Cab S, has the field all to itself, ever since Ford dropped the Ranger model.
The one 'extra' that I would like most to have with this truck is a sprayed in or on bed lining.
Good job Tommy!
When I got my S preferred package Frontier last year, it came with a bed liner. I also put a tonneau cover on it, which really classes it up in my opinion. I agree about the ride. It makes my commute really comfortable, and with the aftermarket siriusxm receiver I hooked up, I actually look forward to driving my little truck everyday.
I just like that you said dickins.. that word is very under used
Having owned enough (over-engineered, over-hyped) Fords that had to be flat-bed back the dealerships after breaking down somewhere... I cracked up when Ford started running the new Ranger commercials aimed to people who like to... jump off cliffs? Ride bikes.... off cliffs? Ski... off cliffs? Drive like an idiot... off cliffs... Yup... I would say something is missing upstairs to want to buy a Ford... Anyhow.
It's crazy how expensive vehicles have gotten that we are now calling a $20,000 truck "cheap."
20k in 2000, the turn of the century, is 30, 242.51 in 2020 dollars.
I have a 2004 Frontier SV I4 4x2 that I picked up 8 years ago as my "dump hauler" and yard truck. The truck is my daily driver now! It runs like a clock, if you have a Phillips head screw driver and a basic socket set, you can fix EVERYTHING on it. Hitting 175k miles, and other than routine road wear and maintenance, it has been superb! For 15 years old, there are a few spots of rust where you would expect spots of rust, but otherwise, SOLID. It sold us on the brand! The truck took us touring the Rockies, and down the the Everglades. Never offered up a fuss. Love it! Love it! Love it!
This Frontier would meet the truck needs of many people and it is hard to argue with the value. It is good to know that you can buy that much competence for 20 grand.
Great video. There's something to be said for a basic, inexpensive truck that serves the needs of many city-dwellers without pomp and circumstance. Two of my relatives own these as additional vehicles, and I can honestly say we (the rest of the family) have all reaped the benefits.
I like having manual locks and an actual key. Encourages attention to detail.
i have a 1999 Nissan Frontier king cab and i still love it.
I just bought the Pro-4X version of the Frontier and absolutely love it. We took it semi-off roading up to Mt Rainier, we ran into some deep snow. I was super impressed with its ability to handle deep snow, mud, and pretty large holes in the ground. I get it that the Tacoma is a hugely popular truck but I just prefer the Frontier, more bang for your buck.
you are so wrong on many levels. but to each his own!
Where I live, Toyotas are always for sale, because their owners think they're worth 20-30% more than they are. No one wants your frame rotted 99 Tacoma for $8000CAD. Nissan trucks hold their value reasonably well, better than luxury vehicles anyway. And as far as bang for your buck: when offroading Tacomas are selling new for over 50,000 CAD whilst the Frontier Pro-4X is 30,000-35,000.... yeah, you're never gonna get that twenty grand back, and for what extras? A gutless engine, drum brakes, and a fancy traction assist.
I love this version of the Frontier! Nissan, if you're listening, PLEASE don't do away with this S model when you release the new Frontier!
I recently acquired a 2009 with only 18k miles on it from my father in law. I drove it home from Idaho to New Orleans 2400 miles through the mountains and desert. I had 0 problems with the truck. I love this little truck. It’s perfect for someone who needs a truck, but don’t need to tow 10,000 pound trailers. The truck can haul mowers, 4 wheelers ect with no issues. Cold a/c, amazing ride quality, fit and finish is outstanding, it does not feel like your driving a 20k dollar truck.
Just some guy your right, feels like 10k
This little Nissan has become a fast favorite at TFL.
Air, heat, power steering and shifts like a sports car... What's not to love?
I love this truck it's like a time capsule.Before all the mind numbing technological advances.
I just got a 2013 nissan frontier king cab and I must say I'm truly happy with it.
4 or 2?
Nissan's been making this same model of truck for over 10+ years so I'm sure they've had plenty of time to work all the bugs out. It also helps to know that there should be a surplus of parts available to keep it running til the sun blows up.
Fleming 007 exactly why I love them. Reliable, long lasting, tough as hell & vast parts supply
Amen to that. My Pop ( grandfather) had 2) Datsun ( Nissan) pick ups a 74' Regular cab & a 78' king cab. Both Lwb 4cyl & 4 & 5 spd transmissions ( 74 had the 4spd) They were both 2wd trucks with narrow buckshot mudgrips on the back. He put a 50 gal diesel tank , twin tank air compressor , a 5 gallon bucket of hyd oil & tool box in both for his crews. & they glided across the muddy jobsites that they worked on. (Excavation work)@ night during the fall my pop racoon hunted. & if wasn't racoon hunting . He was. Rabbit hunting on the weekends during the day. He often took the king cab as he & a buddy sat up front & I rode in the ext cab. & he had his dog box in the back. Along with lights etc. I'm now in the market for a small truck. Something I can knock around in & pull a small trailer for a zero turn & an occasional load of mulch. So I don't have to always depend on my 3/4 GMC all the time. I remember the Gas mileage & how dependable those little Datsun pick ups were to my Pop & his business back so many years ago. As they went where our 1ton 4wd service truck fully loaded with 350gal fuel tank , air compressor, vise, Tool boxes, work lights, wouldn't go without problems@ times. It makes me think Maybe the Frontier is just as good as the old Datsun pick ups used to be.
Just bought this same truck. Love it. Simple. Hauls my jon boat and it's perfect. Traded my 2005 ford f150 fx4 in on it. Best trade I ever made. Feels like a truck.
Buying one of these right now, but the SV so I have power locks and windows, but yeah a brand new 4cyl 5sp SV for $19,700 ..
Tommy in the house!! Great video man. I'm loving this little truck for all of the reasons you've stated. It's become quite the show stealer on TFL 👍🏾
so refreshing to see a vehicle not full of unnecessary technology. I don't want automatic trans. I don't want electronic emergency brakes. I don't want push button start(totally pointless). I don't want lane-change assist. I don't want blind spot monitoring. I don't want the engine to stop running at a red light. I don't want any of the BS that the manufacturers put into modern vehicles for the sole purpose of jacking up the price. I refuse to pay for it.
Oh, hey look. something affordable for work.
That's one of best all around truck for the price.
Heat and air guy here and i just bought my S. 2016 manual with 6k miles for 13.5k$ rides great, good on gas, i can carry everything i need for work. Good job nissan!
Just bought one! I love it!
Something cool about the base models, I got a base 2016 Jeep Patriot(roll down windows and manual trans), reminds me of this truck. Simply does what it needs to and keeps everything simple and grounded... And the low monthly payment is such a bonus!
I have a 2002 Nissan frontier that is just like this one. It runs very well and seems like it is gonna last a lot longer than the 220k miles I have on it already.
The best truck for the money. My 2014 rocks in cayenne red with a chrome rear bumper. Yep, a keeper.
Id buy this before a Ridgeline
Great video Tommy! Really enjoyed the intro. Reminded me of the routine back in the day with my 1988 Ranger STX! Hard to believe you can still buy a vehicle with only the very basics.
My next truck, i don't need useless bells and whistles
precisely
Thomas Passarelli about 5 more months they will have the Final Frontier for :)
Can't tell if your serious or being sarcastic. If your serious you are an idiot. Go ahead and buy your 40k truck and pay that off forever with features you dont need.
I would hope you don't spend more. I have no need for features. Key term there "need" I also have no "want" either. If it is reliable that is all I care about. It can have no ac, no radio, manual locks windows etc and bothers me none. I prefer simple machines with simple features. I don't call when im driving so dont need handsfree. Dont stream music or use my phone for music when driving so have no need for bluetooth. You can buy what you want but I use a truck as a work thing , not a gadget or fashion statement personally.
Agree with you in many things, a car or truck is mainly a utility... having said that one thing i don't give up is AC and PW, PM i can live without but then again how much more can i car cost to add that... aahh and Automatic, stick is nice for fun and but for some one that drives a truck everyday in a traffic stopping and go it's torture...
I own one but an automatic. The ride is worse than the f150 I had by far. But to get another f150 equipted like the one I had would've cost around $45,000. My little nissan was $23000. The mpg averages around 19. As for the bed , can't haul a 4x8 sheet of plywood and have it lay flat on the bed. I made a box to compensate for that. I hauled 16 ( approximately 750 lbs ) sheets at one time with no problems. Nice little truck.
All car truck reviews should show the accessibility of the engine for self repairs
The auto parts store that I retired from used the Nissan as delivery vechile after the Ford Ranger went out of production. Very capable vechile. Very reliable, only out of service for normal service. Ride quality was much better than the Ranger.
I look forward to more of your videos Tommy, it's great to see an additional personality to your channels! I agree with the honest to goodness usefulness of a base line pickup.
I have a 2019 which is virtually the same except that it has a backup camera integrated into the factory (Panasonic) stereo. I'm very happy with it, I get around 23 MPG but it's about 70% highway. I replaced a 2005 Tacoma, which I did like too but the sound dampening in the Nissan is like night and day to the Tacoma. Agree 100% with your review. I did add a Viper alarm with PDL :)
Props to nissan for still making a real truck
I wish Nissan would incorporate all the manual features into the Pro 4x trim. Screw power windows, mirrors, seats, etc.
I have a 2014 Frontier I have been happy with it.
I bought an SE 4 wheel drive in 98 I still on the vehicle getting ready to turn over 300,000 miles I'm sold on the brand well worth the money
Before the Frontier was the grand daddy thw Hardbody and they kick ass 20 years later
Thanks for this review and I enjoy the many videos as well.
Thanks! This really helped me understand and know what to expect if I decide to buy one.
I am a simple kinda guy. So this long term test is perfect. Do ya'll think you might be able to get a titan the same way
All the truck I need will take you all over the world.
Great intro.All the things I want in a truck.
had my D21 1990 nissan regular cab for 28 yrs. It is still a workhorse.
i recently bought a 2014 got to say it's a dam good truck. great for work but also looks really nice. power locks is really the only thing i would ask for.
Owned this exact truck for 6 years until I traded it in for a newer SV 4x4. Loved that truck!
That's what I call a real pick up truck..
Once you set the mirrors it's fine. Only a problem if lots of people are driving it. Agree about the power locks. I have a 2010 Dodge with manual windows and locks and I rarely wish for power windows, but reaching across to unlock psgr side requires you to unbuckle. One thing you guys kinda miss about 2wd pickups is that you have same basic ruggedness and (almost) same road clearance. If you get four or five of those big kitty litter buckets and secure them next to the tailgate, and of course have good tires, snow traction is surprisingly good.
I am definitely getting a Nissan Frontier truck for me
I'm getting one, can't wait! 4WD, crew cab, short bed MT. The best truck for your money. Until the chicken tax is repealed.
Great review
The more I look at it, the more I like the frontier.
Its just a basic work truck, no frills or useless gadgetry. It's cheap, reliable, and easy to fix. The SV V6 offers (for a few more K) a much better engine and hands free for phone calls, while still being cheaper then the base model f150/silverado, and 1k cheaper then the equivalent Colorado, while also being the smallest. Best value IMO.
The only thing I wish they did was sell a single cab/7ft bed model. My buddy's ranger is like this, and it comes in handy so often. Make it happen nissan!
i like the concept of this truck standard basic and not loaded up with stuff that you'd only end up busting using it as a work truck. i
Hi ,thanks for your re view of the Nissan frontier,, I've own 1 Datsun ,3 hardbodys ,& 07 frontier 2.5.& 3 year's ago a 17.frontier 2.5. I live in the country make about 4 trips into the city a week and find a parking spot. ,it's my work & play truck,it is a fun capable midsized truck, thanks for your positive input
Paul w
Love my nissan frontier. I always have a little chuckle everytime I look at the ipod button lol
I like mine i got a 2018 with only 6,400 miles for $16,954 lol practically brand new rides good
Nice review bro.
Great little truck.
Hmmmm, my current mid size truck is my 1993 Dakota 3.9 V6 automatic which has been an unbelievable great truck. But if this Nissan comes with a locking differential in 2WD, it's got my interest! I've needed a bit more traction in my 2WD Dakota several times, and just a locking rear end would do it for me.
starts at $18k...now in 2022, a used base model with 50k miles that is 5-6 years old is a mere $19-$20k!
That truck is everything that i'll ever need!!!! It's a real truck!
Nice intro!
I have this truck in an automatic. Totally love it/ this truck is tough as nails.
i bought a used 2013 i got with only 28,000 miles on it and i love it.
I hope Nissan keeps this body style the same !!! No need to change it it works !!!
I think there scared to change it bc this ones so great.
My 09 frontier xe has been bullet proof since I bought it. 160,000 miles and only thing replaced we're a wheel bearing and brakes and rotors. It's my daily beater... it has decent power I can pull away from a Prius but you really gotta wind her out
I like THIS truck because the engine and transmission is made in JAPAN!! No worries about quality my only complaint is leg room I'm 5'11 and I have long legs drove to VA to SC my legs where a little cramped I would swap out the seat ralls underneath and put longer ones in like from an Altima they have ALOT of leg room other than that I loved the truck and great gas mileage to
I got a question for you? Do anyone knows what the little switch behind the steering wheel right next to the cargo light button is. The switch turns red when you turn it on,I got the 2014 Nissan Frontier s king cab
Great truck, my only question is do anyone knows why the engine ticks? I bought it new and it has always done that, it accelerates like a monster and is still low mileage.
Now, if Nissan Would Start Building Cars, as Well as they do With Their Trucks !!! Thanks for the Review !! It can of Reminds Me of my Dads Chevy Luv Pick- Up, as a Kid !!
Decent exhaust note
Very good truck.
I really like these trucks. Good MPG’s, all you need, nothing you don’t and I rarly have more than one other passenger so for work commute and extended cab to carry my golf clubs, a tailgate to sit on and a bed to haul stuff what more do you need. Sharp mid-size truck
Cool sneakers 👟 bro.
Can you out car seats in the back?
I had a 2009 frontier xe similar to this one. It was a great truck I drove it for 86k the only thing a had to replace was the shocks and struts, the only reason I had to sell cuz my family of four didn't fit in it. Great truck I miss it 😔
I own the SV version. I like everything about it except the turning radius-really bad. Other than that, it's a dream to drive.
Tommy is the best!
The one thing that I wish even basic models have is power mirrors. It is a pain in the butt to adjust the passenger side mirror if it is not power.
Cable actuated.
How is it with a auto transmission
Does it have a limited slip rear differential and if not. It there an upgrade available either from nissan or aftermarket?
Quick599 yeah has an lsd
Quick599 it was an available option in ‘17
Picked one up from an auto auction and quickly found it had no A/C. Was amazed by how nice it rode and drove. Seat was comfortable. Cruised easily at 80. Reminds me of the 1980's trucks...and in a good way. It is from 2005 in design but I liked it a whole lot. I saw them on sale clearance last year for 15k.
Biggest gripe for me is the horrible turning radius.
Mike R I own this truck and it is really bad
Is Roman mica ok?? Because tommys saying things about him and looking at the rapdor would someone reply from tfl?? I'm worried
Roman was in San Diego Reviewing the new CX-5 and he's just fine!
I wish they still made this truck just like it was made in 2017.
I shed a manly tear...
Seem's to me that for the price its pretty good!
Ive been looking all day for a small basic truck. The Ford ranger base makes you take a 10 speed automatic..WTF do you need a 10 speed auto in a ranger????? FAIL. Chevy Colorado was my next pic and I liked it but no manual for around $22k to $24K....the only thing that has sold me on the Nissan..hand crank windows, 5 speed manual. No bullshit basic. SOLD! Power Mirrors are stupid when you are within arms reach. That's as dumb as having a radio in your car with a remote.
I like the looks and the stance of the truck but as a Frontier owner after five years better have your metric tool set ready 👍🔧🔧
Underrated truck.
Everyone prefer awful Tacomas or Colorados, but this truck is better than those. Maybe is old, but with great quality
Nice job with the video. Dad watch out. LOL
I'd like a crew cab 4x4 with the stick shift and manual locks/Windows...but alas
in Canada the chevy Colorado is cheaper and comes standard with a backup camera. I love the old Nissan trucks but I do like having a backup camera...hard choice
SaskatchewanBadAss. Standard in the 2018 as well as AC.
