Cool to see an SV review. We tend to see mostly top trim and heavily optioned vehicles given for review. I like Nissan trucks, but there's no excuse for a non telescoping steering wheel in 2022. Things like LED headlights should be standard on a mid trim like the SV. Some weird choices, but I'm glad it's still a simple truck... naturally aspirated V6 with power going to the correct wheels, a truck seating position, etc.
@@RaitisRides We know what line are they going to and now we know the lineup will go through everything that they go and when they see it they me every word that they say
This truck is only relevant as a high spec model. The lower spec models take you back to 2010. It’s insulting. How in the world can this be 36k in 2022 with halogen reflectors NO 4x4 with no telescoping. 2016 Tacoma looked more modern than this. 0-60 is the same if not slower than Tacoma.
Agree 100%. I find it amazing today that a large corporation misses so many of the "little things" as you mentioned. Why? Why no telescoping wheel? Why no LED standard lights? Sure... $$$$$ But??? I wish they would stop trying to max-out the top trims and give the consumer more of what they really want. Build the right truck and people will gravitate to it.
I just picked up a '22 SV yesterday with Tech and Convenience Packages. Gotta say it's probably the best value in the entire mid-size truck segment right now. $40,335 and it's LOADED. Very impressive.
@@brad4527 that’s exactly what I paid for mines before tax. And yes that extra 3k is the mark up. Ended up paying 47k out the door for mines. 4WD SV with tech and convenience package. In a perfect world. I could have been out the door in a pro-4x for around that price but holy shit you wouldn’t even believe the look on my face when I saw that the dealer had a 10k mark up on that….60k for a midsize truck? No thank you.
I love this guy so much man. Cheddar biscuits lol!!!! Trying to decide between a slightly used 22 frontier s and AWD 23 Maverick xlt. Tough decision man.
Love all of your videos but I especially like watching reviews of lower trim models. It’s always cool to see what you still get on low and mid grade models.
The second you said "warrior style front grill", I said in my head, "come out and plaaaaay". Great video Joe! Looking for a truck. So far I am convinced the Ridgeline is best for me. I love Honda's safety suite. But this is a whole lot of value and I'll have to test drive before I pull the trigger. Thanks!
I bought the 22 frontier Pro X with luxury package every option except 4x4. But it has the off-road tires and suspension obviously. It’s equivalent to the Tacoma TRD off-road 4x2. Which I have had 2 of those and with the new design of the frontier I figured I would give it a shot. I really appreciate Japanese manufacturing. Only gripe is it doesn’t have the Rear diff locks like the 4x2 TRD off-road. Other than I love it and it’s the most powerful in its class has good pep, which I feel like titans and frontiers have always had.
I’ve always been a Nissan/Infiniti guy. I have a 20 Tacoma Limited atm and I really want to give this new Frontier a shot but it seems like a step down in the features department(because there’s it’s not much better than the Tacoma).. The thing I miss most about the Nissan was the fact I could lock an unlock the doors while the engine was running and the window control from the Keyfob..
Even in an extended cab, these things look sweet. My friend just got an SV extended cab and it looks just as good as a crew cab. I love these new frontiers.
Old school truck. Frontier is the best if you are looking for a amazing design and strong engine. I got mine and I’m so happy when I’m driving or just looking at
AWD maverick is still under 30k if you want it to be . So not that close in my opinion . Thanks for the review Joe ! You don’t need step for maverick . 295 option for a step….. little steep
Hi Joe and Lori! I always enjoy seeing my notifications go off everyday, with a new car to review! I love the way you keep a routine, but is there anyway you could add something small?? I would really like to see how far the back windows go down on a lot of vehicles you review.
As much of a lopsided comparison this may be to many, I actually bought the 2022 Frontier SV 4x2 BECAUSE I could not find a Maverick OR Santa Cruz for less than what I paid for my truck. I was really just after the bed for quick loading of 4 mountain bikes and 4 people, and just slightly more capacity than a compact CUV, hence the draw to the Maverick or Santa Cruz. However, only the Frontier was a available at MSRP and I actually found a dealer that went $1000 below that for my SV without the tech/advanced safety package. It’s a simple, tech-free truck, which for the utilitarian purpose I want to use it for week-in/week-out, is perfect. Yeah, the economy is around 19 mpg in town, but a recent 1000 mile trip has returned a calculated 23 mpg, just 1 mpg below the max EPA rating-but it’s a 310 bhp V6 with a tow rating over 6500 lbs, so that’s not bad at all. Compared to the long-in-the-tooth auto of the equivalent V6 Tacoma that hunts for gears on a 4% grade, the 9 sp auto on this Frontier downshifts and stays in gear.
Yes!! This is all I have been waiting for this one and I will be using this red small pickup truck as my daily driver of course. Overall, brilliant job and review Joe.
Never clicked so fast my heart ❤ start pounding ... LOL 😆. The Frontier will be better read owners enjoying their '22 Frontier. This is a good looking truck might be wrong but think it's best truck out there, love the styling and features. I am beginning to ❤ Nissan more and more the brand is doing so much better got to applaud 👏 Nissan, Consumer Reports rated the sedans but not sure rated the Frontier. Love red color makes this truck look sportier believe best looking Frontier ever a nice truck worth all amenities.
Good afternoon Joe, love this Nissan Fronteer SV and I truly think it's a nice Bang for the buck but the LED lights are an upgrade standard are incandescent bulbs on headlights but it's a dandy. When will you the Genesis GV60?
I have a Maverick Hybrid XLT on order! Should be at my dealer any day now. For me the Maverick makes sense. 10k cheaper, great gas milage, better rear seat room for my kids and with the tailgate down you still get over 6 feet of space.
JOE ~ it's RED. RWD? YAY ! ! ! burn outs, donuts, spitting gravel : ) not shabby on the HP. you are good at covering the trims - gives us comparison information. the prehistoric key fob hahaha. a few odd limitations for the interior (possibly corner cuttings) I'm leaning more towards the FORD Maverick - I'd get the Eco Boost engine - I like it's design style in & out more. the FORD's gauges & dash stuff seem more cohesive. thanks for the funny & good review post. tony
Awesome truck exactly what I plan to buy one day. One thing I noticed in the reviews is that everyone who does the reviews is so shocked that there's no sun roof. This is a work truck, why would you be surprised that there's no sun roof? 😂
This Frontier ain't bad Joe. I think I'll go the maverick route right now, but I guess I'll wait till I test drive a real truck one day. But I agree with you on zonking no LEDs on the SV trim. And also I saw there was no AC in the back! Zonk!
Great review of the SV model, and adds to the other review of the Pro-4X. It definitely helped me decide which trim level to go with based on individual preference 👍🏽
It's kind of hard to compare a truck that's $20,000 for the base model and gets 44 miles per gallon to a truck that's $30000 and gets 20 miles per gallon. For off-road use yes I would definitely take the Nissan as I've had a frontier and an extra before and they are fantastic off-road but for everyday just local get around driving on pavement I think the Maverick has the edge.
This truck would compare more to the Ranger rather than the Maverick. The Nissan is a great looking truck but that being said, I'd have to compare the legroom front & back to the Ridgeline, Ranger, Colorado and Tacoma. This SV does have great towing & payload specs however. Also, you can't argue with the great V6. I think the only truck that compares to the Maverick is the Hyundai Santa Cruz. Personally... not needing a "off roader", I"m going with the Ridgeline all day long. Thanks Joe & Lori for your great reviews!!
It depends on your needs. There is no single answer to this question. It depends on individual situation. I have Maverick and it meets my requirements.
I enjoyed the SV trim long bed! I am looking for a new truck, but not in a hurry! This review makes me lean towards the Nissan over the Maverick! I have a full size truck now and looking for a smaller more fuel efficient truck. Also don't need a full size anymore. Thanks again for this review! Great job! 👍
Nice truck for someone who needs a truck without all the fancy stuff. A lot fancier than the 86 1/2 4WD Hardbody I had that had a 3.0 V6 with a whopping 140 HP. 😂 Thanks Joe and Lori. Awesome job!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I think your spot on. If you need a truck then the Nissan is the way to go. If you want a car with some truck features then maybe the Maverick wins. Good job
Ha! Where was this filmed exactly? Saw the sign for US-19, so you gotta be somewhere near Clearwater or fairly close by for this test drive! I have a '22 Ford Maverick XL EB-FWD. Looking to get one of these as a '25-'26 option for my road trip video and keep my Maverick as my daily commuter.
Joe, I'm glad you're bringing this SV. You always do it right when you bring the different trims. Thank you, Joe. Thank you for doing that for us and for being my friend.
Great comparison and talking point about what value you get at a similar price point. Between the two I must say the consumer has to decide what is more important to them and what truck is the right one for the right job or household 🤷🏽♂️.
Cool to see a SV review Joe. True a few zonk's but overall a nice truck, looking for a truck between a Maverick and a Frontier I'm leaning on the Frontier just for the size, a great review Joe!!!!!
Great review as usual Joe. The Frontier is a great truck. I couldn't get a good deal on one last year with a trade and ended up getting a better deal on a Ford Ranger instead, another great truck. The Frontier is a stout truck and will serve anyone well. It's what you like.
Joe you are the best automobile reviewer I love your videos..thanks for all that you do.bringing all the vehicles to review truly appreciate all that you do..shout out to your wife Lori for all the work she does you’re a great team.
How do you like your maverick? Trying to decide between a used 29k frontier S and a new 29k xlt awd maverick. Won't be workhorsing the truck, just throwing a few items in the bed here and there.
@@jamesm568 comfort is a plus, but def need a little more room in the interior. Was looking at a Colorado and it was too narrow for my liking. Just hoping for an updated interior in the ridgeline at this point. I don’t do any off road roading or towing. Just need a Home Depot hauler.
@@myaccount425 Ford Ranger might give you a little more interior room, but you're not going to get that out of the new Frontier. I had a 2018 Colorado and I hated it, which made me go to a 2019 Frontier then to a 2022 Frontier.
I consider this a medium size truck that competes against the Ridgeline, etc. This is much more powerful than the Maverick, and bigger capacities. The drastic price difference with the low end Maverick does show that the Maverick is in a separate category, one that has been empty since the "chicken tax" killed off the cheapo imported trucks. It's somewhat sad to me that the Japanese vehicles just got larger, heavier, more powerful, their MPG dropped, and of course became way more expensive. I can remember as a youth seeing the early Toyota trucks that looked like toy vehicles, because their wheels were like 12 inches or something dinky. Those mini trucks still exist in Japan, but alas are not permitted here for various reasons, not the least of which Japan has no intention of letting us get off that cheap!
Styling wise the frontier looks better but you can’t beat the price of a low trim maverick starting at 20k. Can’t find anything new starting at 20k today but I thank ford for the effort
Joe Raiti. Always asking the question in the title that he never answers. Always entertaining, informative, interesting and fun though, so that kind of makes up for the ambiguity. Cheers!
i want the maveric only in the trim less than $24k....its just like buying a compact car with the bonus functionality of a mini truck.....but i dont really need a truck
In the northeast you can't touch a base 4wd frontier for under $42000 which is crazy and add the $2000 mark up I'm surprised they sell any. They just aren't that nice to demand that price
The Frontier is a better truck than the Maverick because the Frontier is based on a truck platform, while the Maverick is based on a front wheel drive Ford Escape crossover SUV platform, which should have gotten a lot of zonks because of that
With the price of vehicles now I would only focus on the base models. Insane that somehow the average cost of cars is now like over $40k. Dollar ai t worth nothing now.
Why are you comparing a mid-size truck to a compact? Just because the price? Just a bizarre comparison. Its a good video but the title and comparison is weird.
I leased a '22 crew cab 4x4 base S trim when they were 99% residual value in Feb; definitely a solid truck but I am looking to replace with a Maverick Lariat Hybrid or F150 Lightning when the lease is over (Lightning has been reserved since May 2021 so that's why its a bit of a weird choice)
I use royal purple oil and k&n oil filter much better for protection and wear on the engine That 3.8L has potential for at least another 100 hp I would be pleased with 50hp with docent mods. 😂😂😂 I have the Pro x 2wd.
It’s a nice truck and well known as well but my biggest zonk would probably be that front face design. I would definitely say this is better looking vs the Maverick even though I said above I’d zonk the front end.
Everything the reviewer fawns over are things I don't want ( larger size tires/auto start button/turbo/all the bells and whistles ) Give me reliability, give me simplicity over gadgets, give me smaller tires that ride better and cost less to replace and keep all the added features that are going to break in 3 years
I test drove one of these and I was quite upset not only did it drive like it was on four bricks and the steering was extremely hard to turn and it's turning radius was horrible I have a GMC canyon and it blows this truck's features away. With that being said I should be picking my Maverick up within the next couple weeks.
If you want something to last for long time get a horse. Both Maverick and Frontier quality vise are complete garbage. Nissan was never a quality brand, each nissan car i ever had was extremely cheap build. Only trucks which can last long is tacoma and maybe some other stuff, which will cost you 2x times. If you compare this nissan to maverick, its simple choice - Maverick. 20k to 28k for similar vehicle. And for loaded version, you can buy 2 mavericks, just in case if 1 breaks. This Nissan is the same price as Tacoma, it means its a no brainer. I would choose Tacoma without even thinking. I am getting maverick, and i do not expect from it to last for 200k miles.
Thinking about buying the 2022 Nissan sv truck is it worth it? I will be getting a 2 wd just found one with the technology package in black fully tinted with bed liner and tow hitch for $32,500 which seems really good for the market we have now was going to get a maverick but can’t find one anywhere near me. So if anyone has any recommendations let me know!
@@RaitisRides The Nissan four-cylinder has always been bulletproof and save money on gas. And this truck with that color and those wheels big time reminds me of the hardbody. It’s a good thing
Awesome review! I'm thinking of trading in my 2020 Elantra GT N-Line for the Frontier. Just saying that puts a knot in my heart! As fun as she is, the Dry DCT is just not for me. I feel the Frontier is just what I need in this Arizona desert. Plus, these mid-size trucks aren't getting any cheaper! Thoughts?
@@Daveedv7k none at all. Thoroughbred nissan here in Tucson had none. I sold my 06 ram for the frontier back in February and its better i every way. Yes the full size truck had a little more cab space but overall im in love with it
Ah the one I want the sv lwb option but they took some options out compared to the regular bed, I want the 4x4 option lwb, I want the step would be so great for work, can't really find a aftermarket one for my 2015 frontier

Frontiers got auto tranny its the Nissan sedans and few SUVS even the Pathfinder has a 9 speed automatic. Now I'm hooked on Nissan as well.
I'm curious why they didn't make the info screen larger with all the negative space around it?
The fact that you're comparing this to a Ford Maverick is mind-boggling
So what should he compare it to then?
@@ATH-camChannelwithNoName It's direct competitor by size and performance is the Tacoma, Ranger, and Colorado.
How does the interior room stack up against the ridgeline? Love the exterior styling on this btw.
The Ridgeline has more room!
The Ridgeline is a way more comfortable vehicle. if you want to own a truck, but still want the car feeling, the Ridgeline is perfect.
@@jamesm568 comfort is a plus, but def need a little more room in the interior. Was looking at a Colorado and it was too narrow for my liking. Just hoping for an updated interior in the ridgeline at this point. I don’t do any off road roading or towing. Just need a Home Depot hauler.
@@myaccount425 Ford Ranger might give you a little more interior room, but you're not going to get that out of the new Frontier. I had a 2018 Colorado and I hated it, which made me go to a 2019 Frontier then to a 2022 Frontier.
@@jamesm568 The Ranger actually has the least interior room. The back seats don't even fold down all the way,
I consider this a medium size truck that competes against the Ridgeline, etc. This is much more powerful than the Maverick, and bigger capacities. The drastic price difference with the low end Maverick does show that the Maverick is in a separate category, one that has been empty since the "chicken tax" killed off the cheapo imported trucks. It's somewhat sad to me that the Japanese vehicles just got larger, heavier, more powerful, their MPG dropped, and of course became way more expensive. I can remember as a youth seeing the early Toyota trucks that looked like toy vehicles, because their wheels were like 12 inches or something dinky. Those mini trucks still exist in Japan, but alas are not permitted here for various reasons, not the least of which Japan has no intention of letting us get off that cheap!
Thanks for your great input.
Love your work, man. But I’m going to take ‘Questions that don’t need an answer for $500, Alex.”
Tacoma, frontier , Santa Cruz , Maverick or jeep gladiator ( 45k msrp) ?? Which would you choose ??
I would go Tacoma.
The Tacoma is being redesigned, check out the new photos. For me, I went with a Maverick XLT FX4. It shipped and arrives anyday now.
tacoma is a 15 year old vehicle underneath
I have the 2020 Ranger and it has been excellent. Ranger Raptor next. Nothing else comes close.
Styling wise the frontier looks better but you can’t beat the price of a low trim maverick starting at 20k. Can’t find anything new starting at 20k today but I thank ford for the effort
Excellent points Matt!
Joe Raiti. Always asking the question in the title that he never answers. Always entertaining, informative, interesting and fun though, so that kind of makes up for the ambiguity.
Cheers!
i want the maveric only in the trim less than $24k....its just like buying a compact car with the bonus functionality of a mini truck.....but i dont really need a truck
In the northeast you can't touch a base 4wd frontier for under $42000 which is crazy and add the $2000 mark up I'm surprised they sell any. They just aren't that nice to demand that price
That is such a very good point!
LoL ... my wife had that same style key fob on her 2007 Altima .... I think I'm leaning towards the Frontier ...
The Frontier is a better truck than the Maverick because the Frontier is based on a truck platform, while the Maverick is based on a front wheel drive Ford Escape crossover SUV platform, which should have gotten a lot of zonks because of that
With the price of vehicles now I would only focus on the base models. Insane that somehow the average cost of cars is now like over $40k. Dollar ai t worth nothing now.
Why are you comparing a mid-size truck to a compact? Just because the price? Just a bizarre comparison. Its a good video but the title and comparison is weird.
Are the seats more comfortable than the Tacoma?
Look is the strong pick up.
Ford maverick 💯 Lori always great camera 🎥 work joe 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
"thank you Joe for bringing the SV trim" dude is a crackup
That SV Trim Is Optional.
I'd compare it to the Tacoma but I'd like to see that.
Stay tuned Gary!
I’m really liking this trim. I like the grille and wheels better than pro 4x. 👍
You are so very right Tom.
I need the long bed so sv on top of prox4. My concern is if the cab is comparable to my 2010 tacoma crew cab?
I expected Forest and Bubba to show up for the interior overview
2022 Nissan Frontier SV Crew Cab Long Bed 4X4!
Yers sir Scott!
I leased a '22 crew cab 4x4 base S trim when they were 99% residual value in Feb; definitely a solid truck but I am looking to replace with a Maverick Lariat Hybrid or F150 Lightning when the lease is over (Lightning has been reserved since May 2021 so that's why its a bit of a weird choice)
Let's be honest, this doesn't compete with the Maverick, it competes with the Ranger
Agreed!
This looks like a smaller version of the titan
That's why this class of truck is called midsize...
I’m kinda digging the little Maverick but it needs a PowerBoost option 🤣 ..
That would be interesting!
9:18 don’t forget Gumbo Shrimp 🦐
Hey Joe, what pickup truck would you buy for your personal vehicle? What’s your favorite?
I use royal purple oil and k&n oil filter much better for protection and wear on the engine
That 3.8L has potential for at least another 100 hp I would be pleased with 50hp with docent mods. 😂😂😂 I have the
Pro x 2wd.
It’s a nice truck and well known as well but my biggest zonk would probably be that front face design. I would definitely say this is better looking vs the Maverick even though I said above I’d zonk the front end.
Gees good numbers on the towing and engine power for a simple truck. That’s what trucks are supposed to be about not luxury imo.
Everything the reviewer fawns over are things I don't want ( larger size tires/auto start button/turbo/all the bells and whistles ) Give me reliability, give me simplicity over gadgets, give me smaller tires that ride better and cost less to replace and keep all the added features that are going to break in 3 years
Nissan should have made the rear seat room larger than a Maverick!!!! Come on Nissan!!!
Would love to see a frontier nismo package..
I test drove one of these and I was quite upset not only did it drive like it was on four bricks and the steering was extremely hard to turn and it's turning radius was horrible I have a GMC canyon and it blows this truck's features away. With that being said I should be picking my Maverick up within the next couple weeks.
Thanks for sharing that input about your experience!
Even when this is more expensive and has less tech, something tells me this Frontier would last longer than a Maverick.
I think you may be right Omar!
If you want something to last for long time get a horse.
Both Maverick and Frontier quality vise are complete garbage.
Nissan was never a quality brand, each nissan car i ever had was extremely cheap build.
Only trucks which can last long is tacoma and maybe some other stuff, which will cost you 2x times.
If you compare this nissan to maverick, its simple choice - Maverick.
20k to 28k for similar vehicle.
And for loaded version, you can buy 2 mavericks, just in case if 1 breaks.
This Nissan is the same price as Tacoma, it means its a no brainer. I would choose Tacoma without even thinking.
I am getting maverick, and i do not expect from it to last for 200k miles.
@@puzzleetpuzzles7951 We get it you hate Nissan🤣
@@Matt-oj2kl oh yes i do.
Maybe i was so unlucky with Nissan i dont know...
@@puzzleetpuzzles7951 OK Scotty, calm down!
For some reason I see that pick-up and what I see is a car from the early 2000s and too expensive. Just my opinion. Excellent review. 👍
I want that setup. 6’ bed crew cab. But a Titan or tundra v8 haha.
Is the steering on the 2022 any lighter than the last generation? I have an 08 and the steering on that is very heavy
No it is not Chris!
36k? Is that norm for this size truck?
Thinking about buying the 2022 Nissan sv truck is it worth it? I will be getting a 2 wd just found one with the technology package in black fully tinted with bed liner and tow hitch for $32,500 which seems really good for the market we have now was going to get a maverick but can’t find one anywhere near me. So if anyone has any recommendations let me know!
I just hate a reflective halogen headlight in a 2022 model. That’s just odd.
Good Looking Truck!!!
Needs 4cylinder option
You think so?
@@RaitisRides The Nissan four-cylinder has always been bulletproof and save money on gas. And this truck with that color and those wheels big time reminds me of the hardbody. It’s a good thing
Awesome review! I'm thinking of trading in my 2020 Elantra GT N-Line for the Frontier.
Just saying that puts a knot in my heart! As fun as she is, the Dry DCT is just not for me.
I feel the Frontier is just what I need in this Arizona desert. Plus, these mid-size trucks aren't getting any cheaper!
Thoughts?
I bought a 2022 frontier SV. I love the truck so far!!! Im also in Arizona
@@Brownlightning1990 what's up J! Man I am itching to test drive one here soon! Did yours have any mark ups? I'm kind of worried about that.
@@Daveedv7k none at all. Thoroughbred nissan here in Tucson had none. I sold my 06 ram for the frontier back in February and its better i every way. Yes the full size truck had a little more cab space but overall im in love with it
Can it be four down tow behind a R V??
My local ford dealer charge 40k for mavrick xlt
Ah the one I want the sv lwb option but they took some options out compared to the regular bed, I want the 4x4 option lwb, I want the step would be so great for work, can't really find a aftermarket one for my 2015 frontier
