Just bought a Frontier SV. One of the most overlooked features is the height of the interior cab. I’m 6’5” and after looking at other trucks on the market I found more headroom in the Frontier. It has very comfortable seating arrangement. It has snowed a lot recently where I live and my Frontier handle it with ease and great control. I love driving this truck.
one of the things i liked most about the previous gen frontiers was the absence of bells and whistles. just straight up good engine, good frame, and reliable truck. no fancy overhead camera, 10-speaker sound system, other "standard" creature comforts. i love simplicity and i don't need all that other fluff, so the frontier was and hopefully still is, a great, straightforward truck.
Extremely detailed review of pro4X. Thank you. I feel like the Prox4 is just overkill for 90% of the pickup buyers. Making a list of what you REALLY need in your truck nowadays will save you at least $5 to $7k…
The reason a lot of people buy the Pro4x instead of lower trim is because the SV trim isn't enough less to justify giving up the extra features of the Pro4x. There is only $3000 difference between the SV and Pro4x and you get a lot for that money.
I like the baja storm, red alert, deep blue, and gun metallic. I test drove a 2022 Frontier this past week and fell in love! Selling my 2021 Tacoma and put a deposit on a fully loaded Pro-4X in baja storm!
Future reference, you don't have to put transmission into neutral when shifting into 4w high. Its only when shifting from 4w hi to 4w low that you need to put in neutral first
Hands down the best review for the Frontier. Needs= ventilated seats for southern buyers, rear A/C vent, the back seat is tight; I currently drive 2010 F150 160k miles has been a great truck with no problems want to go midsize. I have test driven both Frontier and Ridgeline. Love Frontier looks and build, BUT Ridgeline rides smother and is more expansive with more room in front and back seats with rear power window and rear A/C vent plus all the extra unique things like the trunk. I am torn between the two and do not go off-road often. Tough decision Thanks for the review
I sold my ‘21 Tacoma and have ordered the SV model in Gun Mettalic, with tech package and the convenience package which comes with heated seats, htd steering wheel, htd outside mirrors, remote start, factory bed coating, utilitrack rails, bed light, bed 120v outlet, and more. The Tacoma needs a redesign and soon!
Good all inclusive review! I've owned 2 previous gen Frontiers and a current gen Tacoma and a previous gen Colorado, and the Frontier is the best of the bunch, in my opinion. And this redesign improves on everything that owners have always loved about the Frontier. It's more than capable enough offroad for 95% of buyers and those who want more can upgrade the suspension and still have all the other great aspects of the Frontier. It has also caught up with the Tacoma in reliability over the years, even though people never give it credit for that. That said, I wish the new long bed came with a better set of features. I want the long bed, but I'm not paying $40k for a truck that's missing LED headlights, heated seats/mirrors, moonroof, etc. I suspect they did it to save weight on the long bed, but they should've designed more capacity into this new version rather than cutting basic features.
After driving 2 Sentras 2004 put on it 675,000 miles yes you heard right, then I bought 2019 , sold it back to Nissan dealer after I saw the new Frontier and now I’m driving Frontier 2022 and loving every mile I drive, thanks for your video 👍✌🏼
FWIW, I put a tonneau cover on the bed of my 2021 Frontier SV and then drove from MN to VA. I set the cruise control at 60 mph and got 30.7 mpg. On the way back, I put the cruise at 65 mph and got 23 mpg.
2 days in with a new Pro 4x. For those curious about the Fender audio system....IT's F-BOMIN PUMPIN!!!! If I were to be perfectly honest the whole truck is F-BOMIN PUMPIN!!! DO NOT test drive one or you will be dealing on it.
Just bought a loaded Pro4X in Baja Storm. Love it! I just came out of a 2020 Army Green 4Runner Pro. This Frontier is a pleasure to drive and is so refined. I drove 4 Tacomas over the last 3mo, and the seat and seating position were so uncomfortable for me (I am 6ft 175lbs).
Great detail on the review. I'm currently driving a 2018 Pro 4X and really like the revamp of the 2022. I'll wait a year or two before I pull the trigger on the upgraded Pro 4X in case they run into any hiccups or recalls. I greatly appreciate a non-biased review with honest comparisons to the competition. Very helpful. Thanks.
No replacement for displacement. Good luck towing 7500lbs with a 4cyl…a turbo just adds more complexity and vulnerability. Modern 4cyl turbo’s more than likely will need a AOS, another inconvenience I don’t care to worry about. The PRO4X isn’t perfect but it fits the need of most buyers…Nismo or the aftermarket will deal with any of its shortcomings. Too bad they don’t offer a manual option, but would love to see what an Edelbrock supercharger can do for this V6.
I’m sure 9i% of people would want it in automatic.. but it’s supposed to be the “off road version” which you wouldn’t want to have automatic while off roading
Hi Wildman. “Just a little jump”. I didn’t see any comments suggest for “sport mode” try poking the Tow button. I sure like the quiet cab, smooth Mercedes backed tranny and all the physical buttons to poke, knobs to twist. Ride is good enough for what it is. Looks are good, especially the LED lights on Pro4. Somehow I never paid attention to Nissan Frontiers before, never really noticed them. Must be the new design hits me right. Bright blue, cloth seats, heated steering wheel for me. I’m not there yet to actually write the big check… back and forth, the final hurdle. 36 years ago I bought a brand new F-150 4x4 Lariat, 302 V8 and 5 speed manual, $12,800 ! What they cost now is hard to wrap brain around. Unfortunately that F150 was a true lemon, ditched it after 15 mos. and 15k miles. 3 leaks, 3 alignments, special shims needed, 2 brake jobs, gas tank sender, dash dimmer only worked one narrow spot, first engine oil consumption dropped to 350/qt. Second engine started at 1200/qt. and if shifted up too high, lugged, engine bucked and missed and ran on like 5 cylinders until 2000 rpm hit, then all 8 fired perfectly. Dealer couldn’t figure it out. 1989 little Blazer was next, 80,000 miles and only a new ABS controller and a wind seal adjusted. Zero oil used in 4,000 miles. What a joy to not have new problems to mend every 4 to 6 weeks !! More F150 probs not listed. That was a baaaad year. Several times I waked 5 miles one way to work. Other times I “rented a wreck”, old used cars for rent like $14/day. Out of my pocket. I was livid. The Ford Service manager eventually pulled me aside and whispered “That’s my Toyota 4Runner, it gives me zero troubles, I’d get one of those”. I never repeated that to the owner boss man of that dealership, service manager may have been fired. But what I did like, killer low beam headlights, I kept getting flashed and a very comfy seat and seat position. Up higher, knees more bent. Dash was almost car like, very nice. That’s the good I can say.
We're in a weird spot right now, where the Frontier is the best mid-size pickup available... at the moment. In '22/'23 it'll be leapfrogged by the Ranger, Colorado, and Tacoma redesigns. Not sure how far behind it'll be again after that, but right now it's my hands-down favorite option. Not sure what they were thinking about the lack of a telescoping wheel, though
@@Lakersfansince95 the current Colorado is at the bottom of the pack imo, but still hyped for redesigns of all 3 Taco will be fun with more gears and a 4 cylinder turbo.
I've yet to see one on the road. These creepy dealerships and their 5,000 dollar mark ups are underestimating the intelligence of midsized pickup buyers.
I was wrong about the 5,000 markup. I went to a Nissan dealership in NJ and the markup is 10,000. They actually wanted 63,000 for a PRO4X. I couldn't help but laugh in the managers face.
This Frontier radius for turning is same as last model, which means it's still horrible. Probably the only thing actually bad with the truck, maybe rear legroom as well.
The lane departure Assist is included but you need to turn it on from driver assist - Lane departure on/off & you good to go. I just bought the same truck & same color. Very nice truck. So hard to find it. MSR 47k for a Pro4x.
Wow 47k for the pro4X I'm sorry but you got ripped off buddy. For that piece tag you could of gotten a much better truck all the way around like a ZR2 Colorado or Tacoma pro or the Range tremor. Well good luck bud.
Pie congrats to your awesome vehicle! Dont let the bitter toyota fanboys who pay more for less ruin your mood. their trucks have c channel frames and rear drum brakes and they still pay more!
@@elizabethmiller7918 hahaha I'm not a Toyota fan boy. I'm speaking from experience and facts about Nissan. He said he paid 47k for a pro 4X which can't compete with anything. My Z71 Colorado was 35k an since change and will out do what that Nissan can do. It will have a better resale value and be more sought after than the Nissan will. Another problem with the Nissan is they didn't change out the frame on it. They should have redesigned it from the ground up and not go cheap by using the old frame. These are some of the issues that i have had with them.
Great review, super informative. I'm really digging this refresh but for 44k why would nissan omit 1. power sliding rear glass 2. telescoping wheel 3. maybe rear window defroster. But i'm really liking this mid size. Think its a ridgeline or this.
I'm glad you enjoyed the review. Ridgeline offers more space in the cabin, so if you regularly have adult rear riders, I'd pick that. Otherwise, I vote Frontier.
Had all three gens of frontiers 1st 2001 was solar yellow 2nd 2011 was alpine white and the 3rd 2023 alert red all were pro4x models loved them all the newest one is the best so far.
I picked Glacier White. Well, I originally picked Navy Blue, but that particular truck got hail damaged while on display at an auto show, so I ended up getting the dealership's next inbound Pro4X which was white. That said, color was never very critical to me.
We got to see it as preference. Some of theses truck are use for WORK, some use it for FUN, Some use it for Family and some use it for all of the above. Different packages available for every one and everyone's budget. I see it as What are you gonna use this truck for.?
They're going to have to do something about fuel economy sooner rather than later. Gas is approaching $5 a gallon in some areas, and 19-20 combined mpg isn't going to cut it going forward. It might actually affect resale significantly given that serious hybrid and possibly electric midsize offerings are coming from Ford and Toyota next year. There is no excuse for full sized mileage in a midsized truck, not with the technology available today, especially so with DI and a nine-speed. I find this very neglectful or sloppy. I loved the truck otherwise, but I'm waiting for more economical options next summer.
It is kind of absurd that most of the 1/2 ton trucks available today offer engines that get better fuel economy than anything in the midsize class. The 2.3 ecoboost in the Ranger is the only midsize option (excluding the far less capable 4 cyl offerings) that gets similar mileage to the most efficient full size options.
Agreed. The V-6 doesn't offer much better fuel economy than the full-size half ton models. I currently drive a 2018 Pro 4X, so I'm going to wait a year or two before I pull the trigger on the upgrade.
the turning radius is 1 ft smaller than the toyota , and 2ft bigger than the ford. i think the power steering being hydraulic is what people are feeling , vs the inability of the truck to turn well . meanwhile. its a truck , i want the steering feel . . .
Can always tell when someone is driving a vehicle they don’t own. TH-camrs should ask would I drive it like this if it were mine. 40 mph on that trail should cost you the price of the vehicle if the dealership was smart! That trail was a 25 to 30 mph max. Sad you were trying to beat it up.
Sorry to disagree, but I'm a journalist first (been at this a long time) and whether it's entertaining or not, I drive these vehicles to review them, not to be gentle with them. That's why automakers loan me the cars directly and I don't deal with dealerships. I'm fully expected to use these vehicles in any way an owner might (and that includes some shenanigans off-road).
@@billwashburn8568 I totally agree with you Bill! This isn't a seasoned truck owner !! This guy needs to own a truck to know how to drive a truck, not just for a week , and going off road requires more experience then a week a month etc. Must of us truck owners have had a truck in our teens. Bill ive owned the 1989,1993,2005 Nissans. loved everything about them all! I just hope they lower the price!
Nice looking ruck .... but when A Maverick has more total interior legroom .... it leaves you scratching your head .... same wheelbase .... same frame .... same general body ... same bed .... just with slightly taller sides .
I bought a 20' Frontier (same motor/trans) Transmission shifts too early for my likes - I guess for mpg. I live in the mountains and need to hold a lower gear at times or when pulling a trailer. Hey Nissan - how about some paddle shifters that allow driver to over ride auto trans and a hold gear.
There’s been a few dudes on the Nissan forums that have gotten may be a couple hundred dollars less than MSRP or a few dealer add-ons thrown at but everything is full MSRP most dealerships even more because of add-ons. I got my proX 40k drive out. Trucks always hold their value pretty well but I would be hesitant to spend over $45k for this vehicle unless you’re going to put a lot down you’re going to be upside down.
@@revilsdr you are lucky. My sticker is 45k with a baked in $2500 markup from the dealer. What "forum"? I'm on the frontier forum, and this seems to be the norm for everyone.
Should of gone Chevy, you get a fully capable Z71 at cheaper than this. You can also get the Z71 in diesel or vV6 gas which still hey pretty decent gas mileage.
I live here in KY and have a Louisville Cardinal license plate on my 16 Frontier, it would match the Cardinal Red paint perfectly on this new Frontier.
thanks brother milesperhr i lovet your channel i lovet nissan company all vehicles i need watch night drive testing nissan frontier pro 4x please brother
Also....please tell me you can tell the difference between vinyl and leather. The seats are almost ALL vinyl. Only the seat and back pads are real leather....that's it.
They are still using jatco transmissions that's not comforting. Own a 2005 frontier and I definitely like the looks of this new truck. Might look into one if prices ever level off.
I got the pro-x luxury package with leather and black wheels but 4x2. I like the truck. But right off the showroom floor it had something loose on the front drivers side and they had to fix and then re-align. Now my backup camera is broken and I’m waiting on a new camera assembly unit that they said could take months to come in. This is a brand new truck with less than a 1k miles. And I think the 4x2 pro_x should come with rear differential locks like the 4x2 Tacoma TRD’s. But I’ve had two of those already. So I opted for Nissan and coming off the brand new re-design. Starting to question it though. But besides those specific things I like the truck.
Demonstrate how to place in 4HI, but needing 4HI for confidence on that road is pushing it, dude. That road, needs only 2WD, no 4WD needed. As the locker or 4LO was needed later on in the video. Sounds like a trip to Moab is needed.
Just bought a Frontier SV. One of the most overlooked features is the height of the interior cab. I’m 6’5” and after looking at other trucks on the market I found more headroom in the Frontier. It has very comfortable seating arrangement.
It has snowed a lot recently where I live and my Frontier handle it with ease and great control. I love driving this truck.
I have literally never considered getting a Nissan product until noww
I’m on my 3rd
Frontier
I had a Titan and A Rogue, now 2 Frontiers. Was a Ford fan until my Nissan’s.
Same here , I am hoping next Xmas I can get one 👍🏽
the new Z Prototype looks fire.
one of the things i liked most about the previous gen frontiers was the absence of bells and whistles. just straight up good engine, good frame, and reliable truck. no fancy overhead camera, 10-speaker sound system, other "standard" creature comforts. i love simplicity and i don't need all that other fluff, so the frontier was and hopefully still is, a great, straightforward truck.
Then the base 4x4 Frontier is probably for you. : )
You are one of a kind and in the minority, Beautiful good value

Future reference, you don't have to put transmission into neutral when shifting into 4w high. Its only when shifting from 4w hi to 4w low that you need to put in neutral first
you can shif from 2h to 4h or 4h to 2h up to 60mph
You don't even need to do that with the Frontier.
Sounds like nobody really knows what they need to do.

I sold my ‘21 Tacoma and have ordered the SV model in Gun Mettalic, with tech package and the convenience package which comes with heated seats, htd steering wheel, htd outside mirrors, remote start, factory bed coating, utilitrack rails, bed light, bed 120v outlet, and more. The Tacoma needs a redesign and soon!
It's coming next year.
What do you think about the new design and the truck overall?
I looked at the Tactical Green and wasn’t impressed, the Deep Pearl Blue is what I got, the wife has the Cardinal Red.
Right on!

Congratulations on the order (in my favorite color!). Enjoy 👍
FWIW, I put a tonneau cover on the bed of my 2021 Frontier SV and then drove from MN to VA. I set the cruise control at 60 mph and got 30.7 mpg. On the way back, I put the cruise at 65 mph and got 23 mpg.
the key is the same and I appreciate it. It's small, light, and good battery life.

It took one test drive for me and I fell in love!
I like that red. One of the nicer shades I've seen.
so sick. if i had money i'd get one for sure. frontier pro-4x, cement grey, and bronco 2-door, cactus grey, sasquatch package

Try 11 k markups ! No thanks !
That’s a bummer!
I also have yet to see a 2022 frontier on the road
I was wrong about the 5,000 markup. I went to a Nissan dealership in NJ and the markup is 10,000. They actually wanted 63,000 for a PRO4X. I couldn't help but laugh in the managers face.
Ive started to see more on the road, but very few pro models. 3k miles in I’m really liking It a lot the gas mileage is great.
This Frontier radius for turning is same as last model, which means it's still horrible. Probably the only thing actually bad with the truck, maybe rear legroom as well.
the turning radius has improve 16% over the last model
And rear climate vents, and telescoping steering. Then it would be perfect! 😂

Just put money down on one in Deep Blue Pearl. Looking forward to this being my first pick-up!
Enjoy it!
Cruising at 75mpg @ 1800RPM is nice!!!!
It's a shift on the fly 4WD up to 60mph. No need to put in neutral when going from 2WD to 4WD High.
Yea that was unnecessary on my part
Very concise review. I was hoping to hear that Fender audio system. The Frontier I test drove was the SV trim with the lower grade stereo.
I have a Titan with the fender system. It is very very good
Thanks you are helping make my decision.The prox4 looks very nice 🤙🏾
Hancook are really good tires that last long. I have a set and after 20k miles can barely tell they have any wear.
2020 crew cab 5' bed pro4x. Old school look with New engine and tranny. INSTANT classic! Love it!
Great review
Gun metallic is also a great conservative color.
We got to see it as preference. Some of theses truck are use for WORK, some use it for FUN, Some use it for Family and some use it for all of the above. Different packages available for every one and everyone's budget. I see it as What are you gonna use this truck for.?
Great review extremely detailed👏🏻
Lol, jumped a test truck, first time I’ve seen that. Nice truck.
wish you would have caught that jump on a camera outside. i was NOT expecting that on a review 😅
Cool Video of the Frontier. By the way, where is this dirt road located?
They're going to have to do something about fuel economy sooner rather than later. Gas is approaching $5 a gallon in some areas, and 19-20 combined mpg isn't going to cut it going forward. It might actually affect resale significantly given that serious hybrid and possibly electric midsize offerings are coming from Ford and Toyota next year. There is no excuse for full sized mileage in a midsized truck, not with the technology available today, especially so with DI and a nine-speed. I find this very neglectful or sloppy. I loved the truck otherwise, but I'm waiting for more economical options next summer.
mid size trucks often use as much or nearly as much as fullsizes. Its the nature of the beast.
It is kind of absurd that most of the 1/2 ton trucks available today offer engines that get better fuel economy than anything in the midsize class. The 2.3 ecoboost in the Ranger is the only midsize option (excluding the far less capable 4 cyl offerings) that gets similar mileage to the most efficient full size options.
Agreed. The V-6 doesn't offer much better fuel economy than the full-size half ton models. I currently drive a 2018 Pro 4X, so I'm going to wait a year or two before I pull the trigger on the upgrade.
the turning radius is 1 ft smaller than the toyota , and 2ft bigger than the ford. i think the power steering being hydraulic is what people are feeling , vs the inability of the truck to turn well . meanwhile. its a truck , i want the steering feel . . .
Can always tell when someone is driving a vehicle they don’t own. TH-camrs should ask would I drive it like this if it were mine. 40 mph on that trail should cost you the price of the vehicle if the dealership was smart! That trail was a 25 to 30 mph max. Sad you were trying to beat it up.
Sorry to disagree, but I'm a journalist first (been at this a long time) and whether it's entertaining or not, I drive these vehicles to review them, not to be gentle with them. That's why automakers loan me the cars directly and I don't deal with dealerships. I'm fully expected to use these vehicles in any way an owner might (and that includes some shenanigans off-road).
@@MilesPerHr my point exactly, trying to point out the difference in driving like you own it not like you stole it!
@@billwashburn8568 I totally agree with you Bill! This isn't a seasoned truck owner !!
This guy needs to own a truck to know how to drive a truck, not just for a week , and going off road requires more experience then a week a month etc.
Must of us truck owners have had a truck in our teens.
Bill ive owned the 1989,1993,2005 Nissans. loved everything about them all!
I just hope they lower the price!
Nice looking ruck .... but when A Maverick has more total interior legroom .... it leaves you scratching your head .... same wheelbase .... same frame .... same general body ... same bed .... just with slightly taller sides .
I love the green best color and look in the segment in my opinion.
I bought a 20' Frontier (same motor/trans) Transmission shifts too early for my likes - I guess for mpg. I live in the mountains
and need to hold a lower gear at times or when pulling a trailer. Hey Nissan - how about some paddle shifters that allow driver to over ride auto trans and a hold gear.
It has that, slide the shift lever to the left and shift manually
My man with the Enterprise theme
Hopefully the Titan will soon share this new look
no one anywhere is getting a loaded pro 4x for 38k. it's more like 45k
There’s been a few dudes on the Nissan forums that have gotten may be a couple hundred dollars less than MSRP or a few dealer add-ons thrown at but everything is full MSRP most dealerships even more because of add-ons. I got my proX 40k drive out. Trucks always hold their value pretty well but I would be hesitant to spend over $45k for this vehicle unless you’re going to put a lot down you’re going to be upside down.
@@revilsdr you are lucky. My sticker is 45k with a baked in $2500 markup from the dealer. What "forum"? I'm on the frontier forum, and this seems to be the norm for everyone.
Should of gone Chevy, you get a fully capable Z71 at cheaper than this. You can also get the Z71 in diesel or vV6 gas which still hey pretty decent gas mileage.
@@chriskolaska897 thanks for the unsolicited advice
@@relited lol just trying to help from making a mistake
I live here in KY and have a Louisville Cardinal license plate on my 16 Frontier, it would match the Cardinal Red paint perfectly on this new Frontier.
thanks brother milesperhr i lovet your channel i lovet nissan company all vehicles i need watch night drive testing nissan frontier pro 4x please brother
Nissan came out with Toyota’s future Tacoma before they did, lol
Id be happy with the color. Looks great
Great POV on and off-road driving impressions video! Will you make something similar with Bronco too?
I agree
Also....please tell me you can tell the difference between vinyl and leather. The seats are almost ALL vinyl. Only the seat and back pads are real leather....that's it.
You have to push the door handle button twice to unlock the rear doors and tailgate.
Good to know, thanks for the heads up!
They are still using jatco transmissions that's not comforting. Own a 2005 frontier and I definitely like the looks of this new truck. Might look into one if prices ever level off.
Not true these come with a ZF trans from Germany . Best out there
This color is beautiful looks like candy glitter best colour pro4x with black wheels
GOOD REVIEW & GREAT CAR.
Tow/haul mode kind of acts as a sport mode, it holds gears and downshifts when slowing down like a sport mode would.
I got the pro-x luxury package with leather and black wheels but 4x2.
I like the truck. But right off the showroom floor it had something loose on the front drivers side and they had to fix and then re-align.
Now my backup camera is broken and I’m waiting on a new camera assembly unit that they said could take months to come in.
This is a brand new truck with less than a 1k miles.
And I think the 4x2 pro_x should come with rear differential locks like the 4x2 Tacoma TRD’s. But I’ve had two of those already.
So I opted for Nissan and coming off the brand new re-design. Starting to question it though. But besides those specific things I like the truck.
Should of gone Chevy bud, I left Nissan and haven't looked back. I just wanted to see this new buddy style.
Thanks for the video!
Too bad it does not have a long bed option in combination with locking rear diff (pro4x) like the Tacoma.
Does it have Amber turn lamps on the taillights like the prior model which were perfect?
Love you BrO 😘💯
In one year I’ll have to decide between this or a Tacoma. Toyota better update the Taco soon!
They need to update the platform after 17 years. There's no room inside.
Demonstrate how to place in 4HI, but needing 4HI for confidence on that road is pushing it, dude. That road, needs only 2WD, no 4WD needed. As the locker or 4LO was needed later on in the video. Sounds like a trip to Moab is needed.
Where is the roof rack?
Great video milesperhr
We need nissan frontier pro4x nismo R lifited with gtr nismo engine and nismo aftermarket parts in it
🤯
Red as shown or White hands down
I will never buy a car with gloss black plastic anywhere on it. I hope car makers stop this atrocity on the car owners.
Love it! Green or tan for me. Great review
What area was this filmed in? State, city? Looks very nice. 👍😎
