B-Wulf Yes mate, unfortunately that market seems to become smaller each and every year leading automakers to do away with these types of trucks anymore
gucci mane they want you to spend more money on gasoline. They talk about emissions but how does it possibly help, if instead of getting 30+ mpg compared to 15mpg... coz every liter still burns and turns into co2. Maybe I’m just not smart enough but it seems to me that some rich oil guys are just lobbying to make you guys spend more time at the pump. Not to even mention about all the dollars spent on that extra gas.
Edwin Braun that truck gets 20 mpg and diesels cost more and with all the emmisions that are put onto them in the usa they dont last more than 150k miles. It takes the exhaust and puts that into the air intake.
I just traded in a 2018 Chevy Colorado for a 2019 Nissan Frontier because the Colorado doesn't have the torque and horsepower like that 4.0 liter engine provides with a 5-speed auto. 8 speed transmissions suck ass at pulling. I drove the Ford ranger and that 10-speed transmission is horrific.
Jay thank you for this series, you've met some nice interesting people , they've trusted you with their car's. you've driven through some stunning scenery. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I LOVE this perspective. All American reviews on this truck all say the same thing, "It's SOOOO small!!!" Well yeah, considering you've got white collar, middle class suburban dwellers driving 3/4 ton trucks just to get groceries.
I love listening to southerners rant about smaller vehicles. As Subaru has proved time and time again, you don't need a 2 ton truck with a 6.7 liter super-charged v8 to off road. You need a well built vehicle with a good power to weight ratio, good tires, and a damn good sense of what you can do and still be in control.
Theo Andersen you have no fuckimg clue what you are talking about. Going down a dirt road is not off roading going over a rock in a hard pack trail is not off roading. Going through some rutts with mud in them is not off roading. If you try to follow me in my 4cylinder tacoma 4wd with 33 inch tires and a 5 inch lift you will break your subaru axles or diff. I will not tow you out so you better have a wench and like you say know what you are doing. And you better bring spare tire and a spare axle. Fucking idiots like you make me laugh. Are your differentials snorkled? If not they will ingress water and mud and will blow up on the drive home. Subarus do not have the ground clearence the tire size the gearing to go through what mid sized trucks go through. Never mind full sized tundras or f150. You see you watch videos on youtube vs a truck that has no lockers in it and bald tires vs a subaru with fresh tires with a agresive tread pattern all be it they are small as fuck and give fuck all for ground clearence. And you think hey look you see subarus are awsome. Yeah i had friends like you follow me in the woods. For all i know they may still be out there i told them not to try snd follow me but snotty lil libtards like you think they know everything from one youtube video where a truck gets stuck and your weak awd system pulls them through 6 inches of mud with hard pack under it and u think its an all terain vehicle all of a sudden. Your cvt or what ever shit unhave sucks. You will get in mud so thick with me you will snap axles left and right you better have full skid plates because then the terrain changes quick to rocks and those will tear up trannies and snap axles if you go in with your subaru set up. I see it all the time and i try to talk them out of it. It never works. U subaru drivers are all the same snotty nose lil libtarts that are hipsters. Trucks are needed for a reason if u dont know that reason then keep driving on your dirt road thinking thats off roading but realize any truck can do that so your subaru is not anything to talk about. It has zero off road performance.
Love my 15 frontier sv 4x4... i must admit I tested with both transmissions and went with the 6 speed manual transmission which seems stronger, more fun and still gets me between 21 and 23 mpg
Had the D40 Navara (190 bhp) in the UK and loved it. Living in the UK all my life there was a bit of a psycological barrier I had to overcome to buy my first pick up but now I have had one I can honestly say they are great vehicles. After the D40 I did go back to cars for a time but it never felt right and I eventually got another pick up (NP300). I honestly think if more people here in the UK tried a pick up they would change any pre conceived Ideas they had about them and see them for the fantastically versatile bits of kit they are. They will never be for everyone but if you are an out doors sort of person, and dont live in a street where parking is an issue, there really is no better vehicle.
looks spitting double to the navara by first glance. which are everywhere here in the north east UK now. edit: oh ive just realized it essentially is a navara aside from engine.
The UK Ford Ranger arrived in late '98 and is based on the Mazda B2500. From 98-11 it continues in four variations until it was replaced in '11 /'12 by the Ford Australia built Ranger which became the best selling pick up in the UK. The American Ford Ranger has been around about as long as The Constitution but is a totally different truck. It was retired a few years ago but was re-introduced in 2018 as a Federal Version of our own UK truck with the 2,3 ecoboost. By all accounts it's very good too and is free of a number of issues that persist with our UK diesel version.
I have driven a 2019 Nissan Frontier in the base model “S” trim, it was a 4 cylinder and rear wheel drive, it was white and had black plastic bumpers. In America, base model pickups are known as “work trucks”. It had the manual windows, manual door locks, but it had cruise control Bluetooth, and a back up camera, it was company vehicle, it was not very thrilling, it was slow and felt cheap, but that is the point of the base model, work truck, S trim. I like the Pro 4X model, especially in the newest generation.
Talking to a dealership now to get a Frontier I'm excited. It's exactly what I need I'll be able to haul, being a 4 door I'll also have room for my kids, and for the price it's hard to pass up.
My mother delivers mail in a 4wd 4.0 crew cab with a RHD conversion in it. As of july of 2023 she had put 125k on it since buying it new in 2019. Delivering mail and making 300+ stops and go's per day means that it pretty much gets hammered on a daily basis... I actually do brake pads every 3-4 months because of it. Despite that, it's held up like a champ. Zero engine or drivetrain issues. In 3-4 years it'll have 250k for sure and I cannot foresee any troubles engine wise during those miles. Wear and tear items like suspension and steering components will need replacing after 100k but that's normal. The 265 hp engine had the power to pass cars and tow whatever you need. We previously had a chevy avalanche that was full sized and it's 5.3l v8 only had 20 more hp than the 4.0 v6. while getting 18-20 mpg city and 22-24 mpg highway, as far a trucks go, I don't think there is a much better overall option
The VQ40 makes 90% of its available torque at 2,000 rpm. You don’t have to rev it super high to make power. Maybe the diesels you are used to have more low end power but this truck would likely smoke them up top.
@@JayEmmOnCars It'd nice to have power every where, and the Frontier does very well with that for it's class, and price point. Again 90% of its torque is available at 2,000 rpm.
yea the 2.5 is pretty underwhelming but surprisingly has torque. its my daily work truck and I haul anywhere from 1,000-2,500lbs everyday and all that weight stays on the truck overnight.
I've just worked out the cost of their fuel in the US (US gallon smaller than ours) and to be honest if we were paying £2.50 a gallon here we probably wouldn't run diesel cars so much either although it is better for trucks. My mate had a Ranger in 2002....only just come here! 😂
1 US Gallon of of fuel (about 3.79L) costs £4.85, or $6.07 at today's rate. so that's why we don't use the 4L engine over here. Plus, as you say, they lack the low end torque.
Over in the US they make sense but as stated by H F in these comments, in the UK they're crap, chassis and engine issues. Maybe in a dry climate and with a petrol engine (where fuel is cheap) they make sense and are probably reliable but in the UK there's far better choices available.
@@voivod6871 That's true, I used to drive a petrol ford P100 back in the day and it was pretty gutless, especially for towing, I'd forgotten about that.
@@graemew7001 Well in Australia the Navara is generally considered to worst of the Japanese utes, just above a Great Wall and the other Chinese ones. The Ford Ranger/Mazda BT50, Holden Colorado, Toyota Hilux and the Mitsubishi Triton are all better. At least the Navara is pretty cheap.
Nice shirt dude! ...love these trucks as I own a 2019 Nissan Frontier 4x4 crew cab sv. Fuel mileage isn't that great. But it is a 4x4 v6 crew cab truck, so that's to be expected. Cheers mate!
My 4.0 dont need to be rev . You brush the throttle with your toe and the tire light right up and it smokes alot of v8s but I've been in others 4.0 by and they suck but mine was awsome maybe power changed over years
I had a 2021 with the newer v6 garbage. I sold it back to them. Nothing but problems for a brand new one with only 5k I’ll never buy a newer Nissan again.
The Frontier is not typical american at all. It is the only world market pick up besides the Ranger sold in the US and probably the smallest one sold in the US.
@zeroyon223 They sell much less than fullsize trucks because the price difference is very small. Your argument is like saying it's difficult to understand why people buy a Focus over a Fiesta, a Golf over a Polo, etc. People just want the better car, regardless if they really need it or not.
@zeroyon223 You need to come to the states and see what we do with our full size trucks. Tow boats, jet skis, snowmobiles, plow snow, carry firewood, zero turn lawn mowers, plus the fact many, many Americans are plumbers, electricians, stone masons, farmer etc....
I wanted a small pickup 'cause they're way more fun to drive than my lil honda hatchback (I love my hatchback but that 1.5 liter 4 cylinder matched to that cvt just aint that much fun) plus people up north respect a pickup on the road. Pickups are the trucks that'll crush you if you both hit a patch of ice, so you dont really worry about people tailgating you. and if they do rear-end you, well, you got 5 feet of crumple zone.
i bought a 2016 V6 auto trans. my BIG complaint is when i have a tight traffic spot to shot into. it will NOT let me power the throttle the gas if iam on the brake.
In 2020 if you wish to land in Fort Collins, Colorado, you are welcome to stay here. I have no idea how to contact you beyond this comment area. Please advise if interested! Great vids, Jay!!!
I do not expect Europeans to understand driving pick up with four doors. Well we Americans like a truck number one its safer because not everyone can drive number two we like carrying our four legged animals with two kids, wife while pulling a boat it's really an all in one vehicle instead of high insurance on 2 or 3 vehicles. Number 3 the resale is higher on trucks. I hope you can understand we have a large country with poor public transportation. I do not know what a "twisty" is my friend.
I have to agree ... its not a bad tool! Oh By the way thanks for your subscription ... I've reciprocated and am working my way through your content :) Your production is spot on!
Look nice but they are shit heaps. Engines are prone to serious issues. Chassis rots in under 5 years in the uk anyway.. wouldn’t touch one with a barge pole. Eclectic content on here of late. Please stop the cheese music at the end of your vids as well.
There is a huge import tax on European commercial vehicles (something like 25%) imported to the US. Hence the only ones you see on the roads there are US built. Ford did try importing the minivan/people carrier version of the Connect and then turning it into a van in the US to get around the levy... but that didnt last long!
I'd own a "Japanese tin can" ahead of a F150 any day, and I do, but mine's a Mitsubishi. Better made, more reliable and cheaper. Surprising as it may be to you American cars have a pretty poor reputation world wide these days. No matter how much your President complains almost no one wants to buy one. In Australia any one with any sense buys Japanese when it comes to buying a ute, what you call a pick up.
@@Biggus63 you mad bro? 🤣 Funny but my American cars are the best in my collection. Japanese cars are delicate and break easily. My Ford Expedition, (F150 frame and drivetrain), has 220,000 miles on it and runs like new. My Corvettes are bulletproof. My NSX is nice but not a very strong car. My personal experience is decades long, premium American cars are much better than Japanese tin cans.
@@edmusick7794 Not mad, not your "Bro", and I don't use emojis because I reckon they're for kids. Just stating facts, and what you make of that is up to you. The rest of the world is simply not in agreement with you. If not for the large domestic market almost no one would buy American cars, that's the truth, they're ugly gas guzzling shit heaps. What Americans think of American cars is a bit irrelevant, and you're clearly not unbiased. What matters is what other people think, and they're not impressed, even with Corvettes. I don't give a shit about your wounded pride, I'm interested in value for money, and nothing you guys make is of any interest to me at all.
@@Biggus63 I go on facts mate not what ignorant people who have never own a premium American car say. You can keep 99% of that Japanese tin can lot, I'll stick with proven quality, performance and reliability. 😆😏🤔🤓🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 America rules, your liberal asshole country not so much and btw President Trump is the greatest American President of all time. You wish you could have just a taste of American prosperity! So don't be mad, bro! LMAO AGAIN LOL.
@@christopherjames9843 News flash you Muppet. Australia is NOT in Europe, perhaps you're thinking of Austria. Of course it's an easy mistake, one your President might make, but then he is a little 'special', and while we're at it three quarters of the German army was destroyed by the Russians, that's where WWII was won and lost, not by the country where stolen valour is a national pastime, the US. You two are about as intelligent as your so called President, and that's not much. The US is on the way out, doomed to crumble from within under the weight of its own contradictions, and the arrogance and stupidity of the bulk of its own citizens only makes it more certain. Its a fat, bloated, hypocritical society, addicted to self praise. Before the fall of every great power their citizens fondly imagined they were invulnerable, just like you two. Pride comes before a fall, we all know that, except perhaps for you two retards. What's the best selling car in the US? Yep, that would be the Toyota Camry.
Good question, this vehicle is the only product that NCAP campaigned to the government to have it removed from general sale in the UK. In frontal impact tests the rear deck/chassis snapped and tried to punt straight into the passenger cab, that's without carrying any load!
This is far from an typical American pickup. This is an underpowered, piece of crap, small truck that barely sells. Only a Brit would think it is a typical American pickup truck.
Even mentioning "mopar" in the same sentence as this extremely reliable, tough, inexpensive truck is a crime ! This IS currently rated the most reliable truck in its class. Look it up. You may want to do some research BEFORE typing especially if "dodge" "chrysler" "fiat" or "ram" is being discussed. You MUST be joking.
@@headbanger5556 I love my 2019 Frontier but I'd trade it for my 1970 Plymouth Duster in a flash. Mainly because of the memories made. I wish I knew how to find that old car.
This is the perfect little truck. Rock solid, dependable, cheap.
This still sells only for the fact that people really do want a simple, no nonsense pick up.
B-Wulf Yes mate, unfortunately that market seems to become smaller each and every year leading automakers to do away with these types of trucks anymore

Number 3 the resale is higher on trucks. I hope you can understand we have a large country with poor public transportation. I do not know what a "twisty" is my friend.
Twisty = our equivalent of a canyon road
Great impartial review... Thank you...
You can get direct flights to Charlotte now? Why drive from Florida?
MylesHSG we were getting flights to Charlotte back in ‘89 lol
They were very expensive. And Florida has Kennedy Space Center
I have to agree ... its not a bad tool! Oh By the way thanks for your subscription ... I've reciprocated and am working my way through your content :) Your production is spot on!
Cheers
there was a Lawrie in the back every now and then...
Most euro trucks averages 0-60 like 10....11sec? With the exception of the vw amorok v6 diesel. This does 60 in 7.8, not slow
0-60 is not important in a truck. Low down torque and in gear performance is.
My f250 6.7 power stroke is 5.1 0-60 stock
Great USA series...are you ever set to return ?
Certainly, hoping to make it an annual fixture
Great review. Thanks!
Look nice but they are shit heaps. Engines are prone to serious issues. Chassis rots in under 5 years in the uk anyway.. wouldn’t touch one with a barge pole. Eclectic content on here of late.
Please stop the cheese music at the end of your vids as well.
$19,000 is cheap! Oh crap I'm old!!!!
The trucks here are 40,000.00 and that's on the low side.
There is a huge import tax on European commercial vehicles (something like 25%) imported to the US. Hence the only ones you see on the roads there are US built.
Ford did try importing the minivan/people carrier version of the Connect and then turning it into a van in the US to get around the levy... but that didnt last long!
That's the chicken tax right?
@@JayEmmOnCars yup.
Doug DeMuro has just covered it in his Mini Club'van' video
2.500 miles?
The Ford F150 is the go to p/u truck in America not that Japanese tin can.
I'd own a "Japanese tin can" ahead of a F150 any day, and I do, but mine's a Mitsubishi. Better made, more reliable and cheaper. Surprising as it may be to you American cars have a pretty poor reputation world wide these days. No matter how much your President complains almost no one wants to buy one. In Australia any one with any sense buys Japanese when it comes to buying a ute, what you call a pick up.
@@Biggus63 you mad bro? 🤣 Funny but my American cars are the best in my collection. Japanese cars are delicate and break easily. My Ford Expedition, (F150 frame and drivetrain), has 220,000 miles on it and runs like new. My Corvettes are bulletproof. My NSX is nice but not a very strong car. My personal experience is decades long, premium American cars are much better than Japanese tin cans.
@@edmusick7794 Not mad, not your "Bro", and I don't use emojis because I reckon they're for kids. Just stating facts, and what you make of that is up to you. The rest of the world is simply not in agreement with you. If not for the large domestic market almost no one would buy American cars, that's the truth, they're ugly gas guzzling shit heaps. What Americans think of American cars is a bit irrelevant, and you're clearly not unbiased. What matters is what other people think, and they're not impressed, even with Corvettes. I don't give a shit about your wounded pride, I'm interested in value for money, and nothing you guys make is of any interest to me at all.
@@Biggus63 I go on facts mate not what ignorant people who have never own a premium American car say. You can keep 99% of that Japanese tin can lot, I'll stick with proven quality, performance and reliability. 😆😏🤔🤓🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 America rules, your liberal asshole country not so much and btw President Trump is the greatest American President of all time. You wish you could have just a taste of American prosperity! So don't be mad, bro! LMAO AGAIN LOL.
@@christopherjames9843 News flash you Muppet. Australia is NOT in Europe, perhaps you're thinking of Austria. Of course it's an easy mistake, one your President might make, but then he is a little 'special', and while we're at it three quarters of the German army was destroyed by the Russians, that's where WWII was won and lost, not by the country where stolen valour is a national pastime, the US. You two are about as intelligent as your so called President, and that's not much.
The US is on the way out, doomed to crumble from within under the weight of its own contradictions, and the arrogance and stupidity of the bulk of its own citizens only makes it more certain. Its a fat, bloated, hypocritical society, addicted to self praise. Before the fall of every great power their citizens fondly imagined they were invulnerable, just like you two. Pride comes before a fall, we all know that, except perhaps for you two retards.
What's the best selling car in the US? Yep, that would be the Toyota Camry.
Its A 2019 Model? Its Looks Like Something From 2011
As mentioned in the video, it IS the same car you could buy in 2011... or 2005
Do they have problems with the chassis snapping in half over there like they do in Europe?
Good question, this vehicle is the only product that NCAP campaigned to the government to have it removed from general sale in the UK. In frontal impact tests the rear deck/chassis snapped and tried to punt straight into the passenger cab, that's without carrying any load!
@@waynesimpson2074 I hadn't realised that! But there was a big thing a few years ago with a lot of them falling apart.
This is not the typical American pickup. We think this is a piece of shit. F-150, etc.. is the typical American pickup...
USA now getting pick up trucks available in Europe for nearly 15 years 😂
Alamo is great
Like others said, not typical. Too small.
The typical American pickup is a Nissan? I don't t think so. Try the Ford F-150.
Its not cheap. Its 37k dollars.
Bla bla bla
This is far from an typical American pickup. This is an underpowered, piece of crap, small truck that barely sells. Only a Brit would think it is a typical American pickup truck.
Outsold the Ranger for many of years when the Ranger was being sold.
Even mentioning "mopar" in the same sentence as this extremely reliable, tough, inexpensive truck is a crime ! This IS currently rated the most reliable truck in its class. Look it up. You may want to do some research BEFORE typing especially if "dodge" "chrysler" "fiat" or "ram" is being discussed. You MUST be joking.
I see these things every where and they don't eat cams like that shit hemi
@@headbanger5556 I love my 2019 Frontier but I'd trade it for my 1970 Plymouth Duster in a flash. Mainly because of the memories made. I wish I knew how to find that old car.
