2022 Nissan Frontier Quick Review // Pro-4X

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ส.ค. 2024
- For the past 10 years we've strictly owned Toyota's. We decided it was time to start switching things up, and now we own a Chevy ZR2 Colorado, Ford Bronco, and a 2022 Nissan Frontier on top of our Toyota vehicles. In this video we give you our first impression of this truck and compare it to our Tacoma and ZR2. We are excited to get this rig build out and see how it performs off-road!

Welcome to the Nissan family!! Frontier= Crawl ratio 60:1 fully boxed titan frame (ability to titan swap suspension/engine) , Dana 44 locking rear (pro4x) , dana front diff, spicer transfer case, powerful vq motor, rear disc brakes, bullet proof and made in USA.
Thank you! We are really excited about this truck and looking forward see how it performs off-road!
It's still Japanese.
Nissan guys are about to be very, very happy. Nothing out there like CBI armor.
Thanks you are too kind. We are stoked to get these products released.
SO glad us nissan guys will begin seeing some aftermarket support from a company as big as you guys. Please keep the 2nd gen guys in mind too!
Thanks! We have our Prinsu Rack for the 2nd gens and we will be adding more products as well.
Love it! Glad you guys are going to start offering aftermarket support for the Frontier. In regards to suspension upgrades - you guys should work with Alldogsoffroad to Titan swap the suspension. Will net 10 - 12 inches of wheel travel up front. Best IFS upgrade you can do on the Frontier platform without solid axle swapping it. Look forward to the build!!
Awesome, thanks for the info! We'll have to look into it.
2nd this! All dogs is a great supplier for frontier parts, but the titan swap can be done a handful of different ways, definitely worth looking into
@@CBIOFFROADFAB titan swap is definitely the way to go. I work for Alldogs, if you need any help with anything please reach out and we can get you the answers or parts you need!
@@daywalker4029 I have a 2022 Frontier how do I got about getting this Titan swap suspension?
@@DGKalldayify we sell everything you need at Alldogs Offroad
I just bought my 2022 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x yesterday! Looking forward to adding some gear to it soon. Can’t wait to take to out on some trails this weekend!
Awesome!! You'll have to check out our build walk around, to see what it looks like now!
Yes! Been waiting on a roof rack for a while Love this truck and fixes a lot of issues that bothered me on my 19' Tacoma TRD Off-Road. Mainly seats and fuel range is the biggest plus w/ my Pro 4X.
Yeah those are some Pro's we noticed with the Nissan as well! Also the Roof rack is coming soon!
It’s been too long since tacoma dominated mid size truck market. It is always good to have competitions for customer. I placed order one three month ago and still waiting. While I was waiting looking for videos for 2022 Frontier mod but nothing really existed. I am so glad you guys doing this. I will keep an eye on your channel. Thank you 🙏🏻
Super excited for you to get your truck! It will be worth the wait!
Toyota only dominated in sales not in reliability. My 08 Nissmo Frontier 6sp has been bullet proof.
@@chrisgarcia5462 I would agree with this statement. I have heard nothing but testimonies of durability and longevity from Nissan owners similar to yours.
I bought a 22 frontier in October and love it. Can’t wait to see a ROOFRACK from you guys!
Nice! What are your thoughts of the truck?
@@CBIOFFROADFAB I test drove a taco first; frontier is smoother n quieter, better on gas, bigger fuel tank, better seats and interior. Not to mention those killer LED headlights! And for the same options the frontier was a little less money. I use it for towing motorcycle trailers and camping. It’s been doing great. I desperately need a roof rack and roam cases though. HELP!
@@frankh6108 we agree on all points as well! There are many great things about this truck and I think Nissan did a stellar job with it. Also have no fear as the roof rack is coming for this beast!
I bought one with Sport roll bar (2, 1/2 inch thick)and it looks great ,not to mention it is safer. Light brown looks nice but I like mine better with olive green. Fuel economy: On the window sticker says, 19 to 21 but gentle driving with speed of 70 or less, no stop and go traffic, I have got up to 26 mpg.
Nissan Frontier is the winner of 2022 in my book. Tacoma is got a homework to do especially on the SEAT/ FUEL ECONOMY/DESIGN.
That sounds like a really good feature! We have a little heavier lead foot so we haven't got much better than 21 mpg but definitely still better than our Toyotas!
Man, I’m really excited for all of your up coming fleet and products you guys come out with. Great stuff 🤘🏻
Thank you, we are very excited too!
bought one in SV 4x4 trim level last November, please make parts for this truck. Can't wait to see what you do with this one.
So dope! Can't wait for the bumpers, sliders and skids!!
Us too! We will have a covert series bumper for this truck as well!
Any eta on when products will be available ?
I hope you folks come out with a bumper soon...my channel is new, but it showcases my 2022 Frontiers journey and I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on a Hefty Fabworks bumper due to the lack of availability in the market...I'm going to become the tacomabeast of the frontier world
We have no ETA, but the wait will be worth it! Awesome products are coming!
The 2022 Nissan Frontier right now has the most insane lease term out of any pickup truck out there! They have 18-month lease terms with residuals in the 90s.
@
I love my Wrangler, but this new Frontier has me wanting another truck so badly.
Can't wait to see the finished build
Wranglers are junk man. Get a frontier!!!
Thinking about buying one of these for my Dad he loves Nissan and has the old 1987 hardbody 4x4! There’s a cool grey color that I like.
I bet he would like it! That is also a sweet color!
Cant wait to see this build!!
I've had the same color in Pro-X since Dec 2021. 5000mi on it, no issues at all. It's a good truck.
Awesome! We agree they are great trucks!
Can't wait to see what you guys do with the frontier! Would love to see some Titan love (fully aware economies of scale, and how all 14 of us Titan owners would probably not be worth the investment :') )
you should look into Titan swapping it!!!
Probably my next truck
Yessss. Im excited too. Plz make aftermarket part for it 🙏🙏🙏🤩🤩🤩.
They are coming and we are stoked!!
My 2019 is good to go, till 500,000 miles or more. First one a 2010 model lasted 43198 miles.
I have that truck in the same color. Doesn't show the dirt which is amazing imho. excited to see what you guys develop for it!
Awesome, we have loved the color! Lots of awesome products to come!
@@CBIOFFROADFAB excellent!
Finally some aftermarket support!!!
Yeah Buddy!
Nissan did the track system first just for anyone’s knowledge! Tacoma got the idea from Nissan
Looks good
Can’t wait to see what sort of suspension you end up adding. Very intrigued by the new Nissan
Can’t wait to see the build out.
Stay tuned…!
Baja Storm Pearl is the color. I tell people mine is Appalachian Mud
I tell everybody mine is Flat Dark Earth...FDE color like all my firearms.
Y’all should make some rubber kind of mud flaps for the Tacomas and frontiers the hard plastic ones break and doesn’t work good on Tacomas
Good review & great Nissan.
Thanks! 👍
Nissan killed it with this redesign. Solid review!
Thanks! We agree as well. Wait until you see the changes we have made to this truck… it will blow your mind!
We need titan bumpers and sliders all the same stuff for the titans please the market is wide open for it. Theres not a single company out there making sliders or a nice skid plate set up there’s nothing.
Love the idea of real truck enhancement parts for the Frontier. I have a 2020 Ranger and I love it, but I’m very interested in the Frontier. I have owned 13 Nissans and have enjoyed them all without issue. I’m waiting for the upgrades to make my decision on the Pro 4X or Ranger Raptor. I’m a new subscriber.
Awesome! Stay tuned then to see what you think!
Rock slider’s soon please.
I don’t have a problem with that steering sometimes I drive with only one hand people are weak lol.
Yeah once you get used to it it is not even noticeable.
Strange, never heard of your company and have lived in Moab UT with a Hummer, and for the past eight years just outside of Pocatello. Maybe if someday I am in the IF area, I might stop in and look at your parts. Always curious.
Admittedly, at 75, not into serious off-roading anymore, but just needed a smaller truck for tent camping in the mountains and quick trips back to Moab to visit.
As for some items. The high-mounted center stop lamp on my 2023 is LED, cargo lamp bulbs are still incandescent, maybe I'll get up there to change or not. Might have made the change to LED from 2022 to the 2023 model.
As for steering, by now you have learned it is Hydraulic Assist on the Frontier and one of the main selling points for me. Being old, I like the feel of the road especially if traversing some nasty off road areas and I do plan on visiting Moab, just no more Moab Rim, Hells' Revenge, Metal Masher, Steelbender type trails. But I can envision a drive down and up Shafer trail and possibly out Potash Road to 279, or maybe even a quick drive down to the Green River off Spring Canyon switchback and back up.
Electronic power assist steering is ok on a car, but never liked it on any of my full size GMCs or Silverados but had to live with it; whereas, I was actually excited the the Nissan put it into the new Frontier.
As for the Duramax, great engine for the Colorado/Canyon (as is it's bigger brother in the full size Sierras and Silverados), but GM, in their infinite wisdom killed it off after the 2022 model year. If it has still been available, I might have jumped on it. However, since I won't be doing hard core off-roading, not sure that extra torque is needed.
I know this thread is OLD...but hey, something to do....
I found the vid where you lifted the front. have you done a vid yet of anything else you have done to it. the lift made a huge difference on the look. the stock look I would have never considered it at all it looks so much like a old man's truck you had said you were going to lift it, but I actually thought it would have been a waste of time, that said you did have to lift it 4 inches. it is great to see all the trucks you guys have so we see the comparisons. I have a 21 Colorado zr2, so I am a but bias
We are planning on doing another updated video soon! Adding a lift, wheels, tires, and a few of our products has really changed the look of it for sure!
It looks awesome I also like the redesign it caught me off guard lol
Yeah we think it looks awesome! The body design is definite tough looking! Wait until you see the lifted version!
I think they left regular halogen bulbs in the cargo light because people leave switch on by accident. If it was LED it would blind people. There leds in bed so to someone they thinking safety reason.
Looks awesome! Would love to see a comparison with the tacoma once you guys get it CBI EQUIPPED!
That’s a great idea! We will do that once we have it all put together!
It's hydraulic steering, over what everybody's baby arms always crying about 😂 , then rail system was started by Nissan.. everyone just followed
Haha! Yeah after the first drive you get used to it and then you don’t even notice it.
I love the heavy steering. Got used to it really quick and now I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Baby arms is great 😂 I don’t even notice
Don’t forget the big brother Titan. The new Titan can use some love too for aftermarket support.
Yeah great point! I’m sure it is every bit as good as the frontier!
@@CBIOFFROADFAB so does that mean you guys will be making some armor and accessories for the Titan too :)
i will say, im def a toyota fan boy and i just bought my first tacoma, Ive always had cars/pickup trucks but never the tacoma, always wanted one. Now that i have it, its cool and all but not everything its cracked up to be. I wont be buying another one tbh, wishing i bought the pro-4x instead.
We hear comments like this on occasion. The Tacoma is a great vehicle and our Tacoma has served us well. There are a few downsides for sure and I think Nissan has hit on a few of those points with this truck. We are excited to get it fully built however and then do a more adequate comparison with the Tacoma.
I bought a very expensive 2020 Tacoma TRD Offroad (MSRP $45k) and I absolutely hated it. It has weak performance, uncomfortable seats, unrefined transmission, vibrating chassis, etc. I sold it after only 8 months because I couldn't stand driving it. I hated myself for falling victim to all the online fanboy hype. I wish I'd just waited for this Frontier redesign because I've owned 2 Frontiers in the past and loved them both, but I got impatient. Lesson learned!
Very good job Nissan
We couldn't agree more!
How easy or difficult is the DIY oil change and filter change? I can't find any videos on this for 2022
Way better than taco. But the price is NOT better here in CDN.
Love mine!
Good to hear!
Can’t wait to see what u do to this frontier
Be prepared for the reveal next week for some of these products!
We need nissan frontier pro4x nismo R lifited with gtr nismo sv engine and nismo aftermarket parts in it
We totally agree!
Do you guys think this will be the new tacoma once the new tacoma remodel comes out, rumors they are taking away the v6 engine. I can see this being the top dog for all those hybrid haters.
I don't know, it's hard to say. I guess we'll see when they come out with it. However we are really impressed by this truck!
are you going to do a roof rack? super interested in that. Especially one that's minimal and lightweight.
You know it! We will have the roof rack available shortly!
All i ask of you guys, is to build more accessories for the frontier like you had with the tacoma.
They will be released within a few short weeks!
@@CBIOFFROADFAB Awesome! You guys are the best. Hope you guys will also offer the titan swap, but with your own product?
@@oliverc.7226 We have been looking into this as well!
By the way that utilitrac system was first with Nissan.
Yes great point... what an awesome system it is! I wish all trucks came with it.
Love it on my 2018 Titan!!
My 4ProX transmission "yanks" when cruising slow. Forces the 3rd gear a little to violent compared to any of the others. I only had it for just a few days now. It’s very weird. Keep and eye in that guys. Other than that.. This Boulder Gray looks and drives like a dream.
Yeah we will keep that in mind. What are your other thoughts of your truck.
@@Adam_Rosenberg91 that’s good to know. We haven’t had any issues with ours but we will definitely get it updated.
How can gas mileage be "my opinion"? It either is or isn't. It is quantifiable.
Are you guys going to start making gear for the 2nd gen Frontiers as well?
We have manufactured a Prinsu Rack for the 2nd Gen, but not sure yet if we'll do other parts. We are mainly focused on the 3rd Gen as of now.
Badass!!
We couldn't agree more!
What's your time frame on releasing rock sliders ?
We don't have an exact ETA, but hoping in couple months!
Looking forward to your products. IMO it needs a 6” lift. Anything less is mediocre. Subscribed. Maybe you’ll have something for my 22 Frontier.
Thanks for subscribing. You'll have to let us know what you think of the build as we start releasing info on it.
Bro, we need Titan Pro4X options! Any plans?
Unfortunately we don't have any plans for the Titan.
Only took 10 years for y’all to get on the Nissan gang.
Better late than never!
got one pro4x since before past winter and by really cold temp 8 and 9 gear doesn't engage at all even after many miles but as soon its warmer outside everything is ok, nissan dont know shit about that
Please make sone gear for this truck. Please. ✊🏼✊🏼
This will be doing a full build so lots of parts to come!
@@CBIOFFROADFAB wooooohooooo!!
it looks like a old mans truck long low slung fenders not somthing that some one why wants style would want
In the stock configuration I would tend to agree. The fact is all mid-sized trucks look that way when they are stock. Wait until you see the update to this video with all of the changes we are making to it... I think you will be pleasantly surprised!
The chinese emperor
This isn't a review, it's an advertisement.
Yup, no bad review here. Tell me you’re being sponsored by Nissan….🤣
Seriously right! We love this truck so far! Can't wait to see what we have to say after we have it all built out. More to come on that front!
Tacoma all the way 😅
HELL NO!!!
Bed is too small
It definitely is for many uses but its not smaller than the short-bed offerings on all other midsized trucks so it falls in line there. From an off-road perspective the short bed is very nice to keep overall vehicle length down unless you want to go with an extra cab model with a long bed, which will keep overall vehicle length the same.
WHY DUH HECK DID YA WASTE MONEY????????? Looks like a f-150 Looks are not very TOUGH.
I would beg to differ as I think it looks pretty tough. Wait until we show you the lifted version… it looks awesome!!
@@CBIOFFROADFAB lifted version looks amazing!
