I purchased a 2024 Pro 4x about two weeks ago. Loaded all the packages including leather and sunroof etc. OTD almost 46 k. Truck is built like a tank. Drives like a solid truck. Simple. Long story short. Retiring in about two years and have driven company truck F350 for 36 years. Wanted a Toyota 4 runner and bought one last year 2023 off road premium. Had it a year and realized I can never do what I have to do with an SUV so I traded 4 runner for Frontier. Couldn’t be happier. 4 Runner is a great great truck but needed the open bed of a truck. This frontier rides similar to 4 runner but smoother and a little quicker. Nissan switch gear a little cheaper but all else is on par with 4 Runner. The leather is very nice and mpg is better. It is a little tank and I am very happy with the switch.

Saying is different than doing. The initial sticker MSRP was 39,120 which included several options. It was negotiated down to 36,120.00 not quite 10% but not bad either.

I own the '22 Frontier Pro4x. It's a simple, honest truck. It does what I ask it do. No fancy drive modes or turbo, just a tried and true NA V6. While I don't do true overlanding, I do a lot of dispersed camping off the beaten path, and it's nice to know I can trust this truck when I'm out there.
Toyota fan here, not normal for a mid size truck to cost over $70K for a TRD PRO, $80K after all the mark ups, taxes and fees, don't care how good is. I'm seriously considering this PRO-4X. Besides a V6 is a must for me.
Just traded in a 2012 Tacoma for 16,000 and bought a fully loaded pro v4 with leather interior and the fender high end sound system plus got them to take $3000 of Msrp. Pick it up Friday. The Toyota dealership that I bought the Tacoma was 100 yds. Away. Love this truck.
Got mine about 5 weeks ago. Put 2700 miles on it. Drove it allover the Southeast US already. Drove it on the beaches of Daytona, through Georgia, and the TN mountains while towing a trailer. And finally to St. Louis, Mo. Smooth as butter. 4th of July I drove from St Louis to Chicago, about 4 1/2 hr trip. I was getting 24.9 mpg at 75mph cruise. I Love my Pro-4X and have gotten many compliments on it too.
I like the low key interior too. Everything just makes sense in the Frontier. There are no gimmicks to break & cost a fortune to repair a few years down the road.
I got a 2024 pro 4x, best choice I ever made, plenty of power, super comfortable, the transmission can be quirky but has smoothed out a ton with some break in miles on it, love it so far!
I love the look of the new Frontier. I would 100% buy this over the new Tacoma were I in the midsize truck market. I’d get the grey color with the leather interior and sunroof.
Nice succinct review. Toyota shot themselves in the foot, and thus we turned our gaze to the Frontier, and low and behold, we could get a truck with a naturally aspirated V6. What a novel concept.
Those in the know have had eyes on the Frontier for years. Somehow Toyota became the overrated popular cheerleader while lacking substance such as solid boxed frames that don't rot out and power from the thirsty V6, or a decent seating posture, while Nissan was the quiet and diligent girl next door.
Im a hardcore toyota guy I'd much rather keep my dads 99 tacoma 3.4l v6 xtra xtra 4wd with 550k miles on the original engine and transmission, then a new tacoma they completely destroyed the image of the tacoma with the 4th gen but the frontier is alot better because it still has a v6 and i like nissan for that!
Terrific video .. I live in Calif & just bought a NEW 2023 Frontier SV 2WD Tech & Conv Packages .. MSRP was $40,000 Got it OTD for $36.000 !! Great Truck .. Thanks again for the video I enjoy your channel ..
Just got a 2021 Tacoma TRD-OR in voodoo blue and I love it, but if I was getting a newer truck I’d ABSOLUTELY go for the frontier. I love the style, they look so good and that price is a no brainer.
If i was not retired and had the income for it I would love even a used Frontier 😂. I test drove a used 2023 and I was blown away at how impressed I was!
I’m on my fifth Nissan truck. I just bought a 24 Pro4X three weeks ago and I love it. I have always believed in Toyota products even though I never owned one but they have apparently dropped the ball. I good deal on the Frontier.
A lot of post say Toyota, Chevy, GMC, etc made 4litters with turbos because California and other States required less emissions ..........But Nissan had no problem keeping the V6. I had a frontier and would grab another one again!
They are being reduced by 8k off MSRP where I live. Got a brand new just like this with tow package but no steps, and oil changes for life, in dark gray for 37k. Nothing on the market can beat it for the money. And despite my apprehensions, interior quality while of cheaper products feels nicer than my newer Toyotas, no rattles or weird gaps, etc.
I almost pulled the trigger on a 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-road , but I’m glad I sat in that back seat ! I would be absolutely embarrassed if I had company come over and we took a short ride somewhere. I used to have a 2Dr civic with more leg room than the Back of the new Tacoma. The Salesman tried to tell me “ These trucks are really for Adventures , and not for carrying people around “ ….. I almost died laughing right there at his desk. He obviously didn’t know that I literally own a Fleet of Toyota vehicles . No way am I paying $60k for a 2-Seater Pickup !! 😂
One of peoples biggest complaints on the Tacoma was the back seat. So Toyota said here we will make it smaller and since you want more power we will give you a 4cyl. I can’t believe the guy who’s in charge hasnt been fired yet lol.
The last Tacoma had the same leg room. It's a mid size truck not a full sized truck. I don't get people complaining about the back seat of a small truck.
@@rickeycooley9139 I owned a New 2021 Tacoma TRD until 48k before I traded for my Tundra. I absolutely disagree… You guys are just stroking the Tacoma because your Fanboys. I loved my last Gen Tacoma until it came to towing, and the backseat was just about right…and guess what ? There was actual storage compartments 🤦🏻♂️.
Frontier 3rd gen= Crawl ratio AT 56:1 fully boxed titan frame (ability to titan swap suspension/engine) , Dana 44 locking rear (pro4x) , dana front diff, spicer transfer case, hydraulic power steering ,N/A v6 motor, rear disc brakes, bullet proof and made in USA. Tacoma 4th gen= 40:1 crawl ratio AT, made in Mexico, 4cy turbo , electric power steering and Toyota tax. Turning radius is the same on both vehicles now.
Turning radius was a deal killer for me on the last gen Frontier so thats good to hear. I would get them all the time as rental cars through National and I swear I almost crashed 3 times trying to pull into parking spaces because I wasn't expecting the turning radius to be so bad. This was coming from driving an F150 supercrew 6.5' bed too. That said, the Frontier does not literally use the Titan frame. It just uses the same architecture but im sure there are major differences between the two, never mind the length.
@@tm68669 No the front suspension parts are not interchangeable even though they are both TNGA-F. It’s also not a Tundra frame. No tundra has same wheelbase as the Tacoma so they cannot be literally the same frame
@@tm68669 if you are talking about that one wide body Tacoma xrunner concept car, they had to special make that. The mounts are different from everything I’ve been told
Never owned a pickup before. Always had Ford E Series Vans. Recently thought I might like midsize truck. Drove Frontier, Tacoma, Colorado, Ranger. Not even close. Nissan Frontier King Cab SV 2WD, Tow Package. Best driver, quiet, smooth V6, just enough technology. Frontier in my future. Oh, way better price value than all of them.
I'm a Toyota guy but not like a hardcore "fan boy," but if I was shopping around for a rugged vehicle, I would go for these for sure. Primarily because it has enough of what I would use it for, and Toyota is price gouging! I currently own a 2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium that I bought in April 2020.
Toyota did a huge favor for Nissan. It’s now time for Nissan to rise and refine itself. I look forward to the 25 model. I love when underdogs get the attention they deserve. Great powertrain - just take note from the taco to make it look more ragged.
Nisan's pricing, options and quality are what put me into the Frontier Pro4X. I had a 4Runner previously and truly wanted the Taco but just couldn't afford it.
Back in the 80s, I owned a Nissan Hardbody pickup truck. A 4X4 four-banger, and I liked that vehicle. My next Nissan was a 2021 Titan PRO4X, loaded. Absolutely hated the gas mileage and the service. First, the radiator blew at 4K. It took 5 months to get it fixed. Next, they damaged my skidplate 3X's. Because it has to come off for an oil change, and they just throw around. Another time, they forgot to tighten the oil filter and drain plug. Oil all over my brand new garage floor. Then, the grill warped, and the infotainment went capote. They managed to dent the rear driver's side door. Also, when they reinstalled the skidplate, they scratched the bumper every time. Finally, Nissan doesn't do recalls! They put out service bulletins at one time, and there was 16 on them pending on my vehicle. Almost 3 weeks of downtime! I'm sorry, but there's a reason why Nissan trucks are cheaper. Buyers will definitely take a bath on these trucks when they trade them in. That's exactly why the discontinued the Titan.......
Ive always liked the frontier, Nissan has never been flashy with its exterior but the interior has always been nice. I used to hunt with a buddy that had a nismo 06 frontier 4x4 and it was a beast in most conditions
When this new design became available I remember comments mentioning "oh it already looks outdated compared to the competition". Which I always thought was a positive rather than a negative thing, specially since that's what Toyota fans would always say about the older gen tacos. I used to have a pro x but didn't like having no 4x4 since we go to the beach often. I regret trading it in and am seriously thinking about getting a pro 4x instead
I live in the RGV in Texas I've seen a handful of these frontiers with a lift, after market wheels and tires and one of them had a nice exhaust tone probably a magnaflow. I liked it. I'm considering switching to Nissan.
It’s so much better than the new Tacoma. It’s what the Tacoma use to be. There is one by me that is the two wheel drive pro x discounted down to 34k. Great deal. Plus, I think they will last longer.
Better than what Tacoma used to be. Everyone likes to forget about the rotten frames, bad seating position, gear-hunter syndrome, crappy ride, grabby brakes, and gutless gas guzzler V6, all features of Tacoma for YEARS. The all-star high school quarterback that got away with things no one else could, due to fanboy popularity.
@@joshuagraham3222 My 1987 Hardbody has 428,000 miles and does hard work regularly. I watched my father abuse Datsun trucks as a kid doing construction, and they didn't quit.
Correction, this frontier is equivalent to the 3rd gen tacoma trd offroad. Priced similarly too. The entry level 3rd gen trd offroad was 37k and the premium offroad is 46k. Same as the frontier right now. Let's face it the current frontier benchmarked the 3rd gen tacoma trd offroad 😂😂😂
@@beexiong2995 Yes and no the 3rd gen Tacoma had a much worse v6 and auto transmission combo, Crappy C channel frame and don't even get me started on the rear drums brakes lol
@@sierratough4934 the refreshed frontier came out in 22. The new tacoma hadn't been revealed yet. Nissan benchmarked the 3rd gen cause they sold 200k a year.
I really like this truck. I shopped them hard in 2023 vs the 2023 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. The deal killer on the Nissan for me was the short bed. You cannot get the 6'bed on any other trim except the lower one (cv?) Cannot get 6' bed on Pro 4x. If they would have offered a loaded truck (doesnt need to be pro 4x trim) with 6' bed, i likely would have bought.
Will be looking soon for a 3rd Gen 20’+ Tacoma TRD OR w tech pkg. And if I cant find that I’ll look for a TRD Pro. And if I still cant find either of the two, particularly the OR with the options I want @ the price I’m willing to pay, I’ll call it a day & go for the Pro4X. This truck is a winner in the mid sz class, F the haters.
Great content as always brother! This is a really nice truck and I’d take it over the new Tacoma! We are seeing the decline of the Toyota empire for sure as they’ve lost their way!
Is the Pro4x proven? Like is there any info on how well this will hold long term? My father is looking into these but long term reliability is what worries him. He currently has a 2011 Tacoma V6 with 130k miles on the odometer and is looking into a newer vehicle. I tell him the Tacoma he currently has is a monster but if he wants something new I wonder if the Pro4x will live up to his expectations. He likes the price tag over a used 3rd Gen 4x4 Tacoma.
These are the new Tacomas in the midsize segment. Engine has been around for ages. Trans is designed by Mercedes and manufactured by jatco. Aston Martin also uses this transmission in thr DBX suv
There is a forgotten SUv that never gets enough love anymore and that’s the the Patrol, aka. Armada. Y61 (not so much the current y62) used to rival the Land Cruiser. Wish they can bring the y61 back to the states again. Recreate the rivalry and learn from Toyota’s recent mistakes (2025 will have a twin turbo v6 - sigh)
@@UntamedMotors I just wish there was more aftermarket for it but then again, you can always go Aussie as whatever fits the patrol will fit the armada. ARB front/rear bumpers though I hear lifts may be problematic just cuz of the tow setup in the rear. Maybe replacing with Portal Axels ( from @74weld) are a better solution for clearing tires without requiring a lift. Armadas are built like a tank.
As a new Tacoma owner and previous frontier owner, you guys can hate all you want on the frontier, but it is still a very good truck, You all just hate to hate like kids.
I think it looks a lot better than current models of Toyota trucks. I don't like the red accents on the interior. The TV screen is better integrated in the Nissan and an afterthought with the Tacoma. Wish the Nissan came in manuals but if I were looking for a new truck, hell yes on the Nissan.
I think the ford maverick turbo is the other small truck that is decent value. It’s about half the price of a Tacoma, which is the correct price for a turbo 4 cylinder imo.
Also I looked at the Tacoma at a local dealer Sunday just to check them out and saw they had a markup of $2500 on them which is crazy considering how many they had on the lot. Lol. Smh
Nissan is making some smart moves to grow in the mid size truck market through aggressive sales pricing and creating value in smart equipment and parts choices. Every new Frontier owner is a future continued Nissan owner. The market is primed for value oriented truck sales. Look no further than the Maverick. Nissan has a great opportunity right now.
I like that Nissan the price is right. I’d buy that way before I ever bought a Toyota again. I want a little more off-road. That’s why I bought the jeep gladiator hope you’re well. God bless you and your family.
We got the 22 SV mainly because of the bigger box, and we don’t need all the bells and whistles of the Pro4, but we never thought once about the over priced Tacoma or the F150 T4 that they wanted $15k more. A Turbo 4 in a 1/2 ton? That ain’t a truck anymore. We also get 24MPG from the Non turbo 6.
Good stuff. Thanks for covering the Frontier. Please include other/lower trim levels in the future. I don't understand those grab handles on either side of the shifter. What are they for? I've heard they are painful for drivers with longer legs. Specifically the right knee coming into contact with it. Always wondered if they could be removed?
Nice video. It seems to me Nissan is being smart and replacing what Toyota exited in a vacuum. Smart not to keep up with the neighbors in this space. I honestly hate all the new tech companies are putting into everything. Give me a 5th gen 4Runner and something likes this. Price is also a no brainer compared to the new Tacoma's with this V6. Who wants a 4 cyl?! Lame... Love the simplicity of this truck. Eye opener for most Toyota die-hards for sure. You can get the Prox4X new for under $40k I've read. Great deal all things considered.
I got a fully loaded pro-4x in Baja Storm for $45,500 OTD (MSRP $49,450). That sales price is about $43,155ish. These trucks have low demand right now - sitting on lots for hundreds of days in some cases. Nissan dealerships are really trying their hardest to sell what they can.
After trying to find a 2020-2021 Toyota TRD Pro, I came to the quick conclusion that it is difficult to find a clean one for a reasonable price that has not been either well used or has a dubious history via CARFAX, etc. I just happened to see that Nissan had a V8, and after driving a Titan, I purchased a 2024 Titan Pro4X last week for a great discount and 0% interest financing for 60 months. I have not had a chance to drive it much yet, but am taking it on a trip next week and look forward to getting a better feel for it. I love the interior and features, and that proven and reliable, naturally aspirated 5.6L Endurance V8 and 9 speed transmission. Anxious to see what kind of mileage I can eek out of it. I can recommend that it is worth a test drive if one is interested in a unique, reliable, and under the radar full size truck.
Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉 You made an excellent choice! You will grow to love the smooth but brute VK56 more with each passing mile. If you remember to change the engine oil every 3500-5000K miles with quality oil (e.g. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum) and ATF every 20-30K miles, your Titan will be a faithful steed for many, many happy miles down the road. Enjoy the Ride!

I Love my Pro-4X and have gotten many compliments on it too.
I like the low key interior too. Everything just makes sense in the Frontier. There are no gimmicks to break & cost a fortune to repair a few years down the road.
I got a 2024 pro 4x, best choice I ever made, plenty of power, super comfortable, the transmission can be quirky but has smoothed out a ton with some break in miles on it, love it so far!
I love the look of the new Frontier. I would 100% buy this over the new Tacoma were I in the midsize truck market. I’d get the grey color with the leather interior and sunroof.
Nice succinct review. Toyota shot themselves in the foot, and thus we turned our gaze to the Frontier, and low and behold, we could get a truck with a naturally aspirated V6. What a novel concept.
Those in the know have had eyes on the Frontier for years. Somehow Toyota became the overrated popular cheerleader while lacking substance such as solid boxed frames that don't rot out and power from the thirsty V6, or a decent seating posture, while Nissan was the quiet and diligent girl next door.
I’ve got the 2023 version of that frontier , I’m happy with it
They pretty much have the market to themselves with that V6. If I were in the market for a small pickup, that I the only one I’d consider.
100% same here. It’d be a toss up between this and the Ranger Raptor tbh.
Im a hardcore toyota guy I'd much rather keep my dads 99 tacoma 3.4l v6 xtra xtra 4wd with 550k miles on the original engine and transmission, then a new tacoma they completely destroyed the image of the tacoma with the 4th gen but the frontier is alot better because it still has a v6 and i like nissan for that!
Terrific video .. I live in Calif & just bought a NEW 2023 Frontier SV 2WD Tech & Conv Packages .. MSRP was $40,000 Got it OTD for $36.000 !! Great Truck .. Thanks again for the video I enjoy your channel ..
@@freerangetargetshooter thanks a ton brother. Congrats on your new frontier! 👍 Great pick
Just got a 2021 Tacoma TRD-OR in voodoo blue and I love it, but if I was getting a newer truck I’d ABSOLUTELY go for the frontier. I love the style, they look so good and that price is a no brainer.
If i was not retired and had the income for it I would love even a used Frontier 😂. I test drove a used 2023 and I was blown away at how impressed I was!
In my opinion, Nissan Frontier are the best looking trucks. V6 engine doesn't hurt either.
Best looking 🤣🤣🤣 just stop it
I’m on my fifth Nissan truck. I just bought a 24 Pro4X three weeks ago and I love it. I have always believed in Toyota products even though I never owned one but they have apparently dropped the ball. I good deal on the Frontier.
A lot of post say Toyota, Chevy, GMC, etc made 4litters with turbos because California and other States required less emissions ..........But Nissan had no problem keeping the V6. I had a frontier and would grab another one again!
They are being reduced by 8k off MSRP where I live. Got a brand new just like this with tow package but no steps, and oil changes for life, in dark gray for 37k. Nothing on the market can beat it for the money. And despite my apprehensions, interior quality while of cheaper products feels nicer than my newer Toyotas, no rattles or weird gaps, etc.
That’s great to hear man! Congrats!!
I almost pulled the trigger on a 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-road , but I’m glad I sat in that back seat ! I would be absolutely embarrassed if I had company come over and we took a short ride somewhere. I used to have a 2Dr civic with more leg room than the Back of the new Tacoma. The Salesman tried to tell me “ These trucks are really for Adventures , and not for carrying people around “ ….. I almost died laughing right there at his desk. He obviously didn’t know that I literally own a Fleet of Toyota vehicles . No way am I paying $60k for a 2-Seater Pickup !! 😂
One of peoples biggest complaints on the Tacoma was the back seat. So Toyota said here we will make it smaller and since you want more power we will give you a 4cyl. I can’t believe the guy who’s in charge hasnt been fired yet lol.
I almost went for the new Tacoma. Ended up buying a used FJ Cruiser for more money than I should have. Always wanted one and could finally afford it.
The last Tacoma had the same leg room. It's a mid size truck not a full sized truck. I don't get people complaining about the back seat of a small truck.
@@atg1338I don’t either, I guess every one is just jumping on Toyota’s these days. With all the problems Toyota has, the back seat is not a problem.
@@rickeycooley9139 I owned a New 2021 Tacoma TRD until 48k before I traded for my Tundra. I absolutely disagree… You guys are just stroking the Tacoma because your Fanboys. I loved my last Gen Tacoma until it came to towing, and the backseat was just about right…and guess what ? There was actual storage compartments 🤦🏻♂️.
Frontier 3rd gen= Crawl ratio AT 56:1 fully boxed titan frame (ability to titan swap suspension/engine) , Dana 44 locking rear (pro4x) , dana front diff, spicer transfer case, hydraulic power steering ,N/A v6 motor, rear disc brakes, bullet proof and made in USA. Tacoma 4th gen= 40:1 crawl ratio AT, made in Mexico, 4cy turbo , electric power steering and Toyota tax. Turning radius is the same on both vehicles now.
Turning radius was a deal killer for me on the last gen Frontier so thats good to hear. I would get them all the time as rental cars through National and I swear I almost crashed 3 times trying to pull into parking spaces because I wasn't expecting the turning radius to be so bad. This was coming from driving an F150 supercrew 6.5' bed too.
That said, the Frontier does not literally use the Titan frame. It just uses the same architecture but im sure there are major differences between the two, never mind the length.
You forgot to mention the Tacoma has a fully boxed Tundra frame. (Ability to swap suspension/engine)
@@tm68669 No the front suspension parts are not interchangeable even though they are both TNGA-F.
It’s also not a Tundra frame. No tundra has same wheelbase as the Tacoma so they cannot be literally the same frame
Oh yeah? I’ll give you a hint. There are other Toyotas on TNGAF frames running parts from a Tundra. Now go Google. :)
@@tm68669 if you are talking about that one wide body Tacoma xrunner concept car, they had to special make that. The mounts are different from everything I’ve been told
I just bought a 2023 pro-4x on Monday, and I'm loving it.
I have a frontier and its awesome, had for two years , no issues other than a parking prowl issues
Never owned a pickup before. Always had Ford E Series Vans. Recently thought I might like midsize truck. Drove Frontier, Tacoma, Colorado, Ranger. Not even close. Nissan Frontier King Cab SV 2WD, Tow Package. Best driver, quiet, smooth V6, just enough technology. Frontier in my future. Oh, way better price value than all of them.
I'm a Toyota guy but not like a hardcore "fan boy," but if I was shopping around for a rugged vehicle, I would go for these for sure. Primarily because it has enough of what I would use it for, and Toyota is price gouging! I currently own a 2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium that I bought in April 2020.
Glad you like the Nissan Frontier. Would like to see a video of your impression of the Titan vs the Tundra as well.
Happy to put a video like that together 👍 💯
The titan is outdate af
Toyota did a huge favor for Nissan. It’s now time for Nissan to rise and refine itself. I look forward to the 25 model. I love when underdogs get the attention they deserve. Great powertrain - just take note from the taco to make it look more ragged.
Nisan's pricing, options and quality are what put me into the Frontier Pro4X. I had a 4Runner previously and truly wanted the Taco but just couldn't afford it.
Up with Nissan, down with Toyota
Back in the 80s, I owned a Nissan Hardbody pickup truck. A 4X4 four-banger, and I liked that vehicle. My next Nissan was a 2021 Titan PRO4X, loaded. Absolutely hated the gas mileage and the service. First, the radiator blew at 4K. It took 5 months to get it fixed. Next, they damaged my skidplate 3X's. Because it has to come off for an oil change, and they just throw around. Another time, they forgot to tighten the oil filter and drain plug. Oil all over my brand new garage floor. Then, the grill warped, and the infotainment went capote. They managed to dent the rear driver's side door. Also, when they reinstalled the skidplate, they scratched the bumper every time. Finally, Nissan doesn't do recalls! They put out service bulletins at one time, and there was 16 on them pending on my vehicle. Almost 3 weeks of downtime! I'm sorry, but there's a reason why Nissan trucks are cheaper. Buyers will definitely take a bath on these trucks when they trade them in. That's exactly why the discontinued the Titan.......
Starting to see lots more of these in the last couple months....... sharp looking truck
bro really turning into a Nissan Frontier fan boy now. Need more people to do the same, we need more aftermarket support for the Frontier!
Ive always liked the frontier, Nissan has never been flashy with its exterior but the interior has always been nice. I used to hunt with a buddy that had a nismo 06 frontier 4x4 and it was a beast in most conditions
I like the Pro 4X but I'd have to get a lift and KO2s, it seems to sit too low.
Nissan offers a Nismo lift kit as an accessory.
When this new design became available I remember comments mentioning "oh it already looks outdated compared to the competition".
Which I always thought was a positive rather than a negative thing, specially since that's what Toyota fans would always say about the older gen tacos. I used to have a pro x but didn't like having no 4x4 since we go to the beach often. I regret trading it in and am seriously thinking about getting a pro 4x instead
DO IT!!!🎉❤😂
I live in the RGV in Texas I've seen a handful of these frontiers with a lift, after market wheels and tires and one of them had a nice exhaust tone probably a magnaflow. I liked it. I'm considering switching to Nissan.
I just got a 2024 and that truck is fast! It’s just what you need when you go visit family in Texas and no buddy drives friendly!
Beautiful trunk!!
Coming from a Toyota fan!!
Currently have a 08 4 runner V8 4x4
Yes V8 not a stupid 4 cylinder turbo😂
It’s so much better than the new Tacoma. It’s what the Tacoma use to be. There is one by me that is the two wheel drive pro x discounted down to 34k. Great deal. Plus, I think they will last longer.
Better than what Tacoma used to be. Everyone likes to forget about the rotten frames, bad seating position, gear-hunter syndrome, crappy ride, grabby brakes, and gutless gas guzzler V6, all features of Tacoma for YEARS.
The all-star high school quarterback that got away with things no one else could, due to fanboy popularity.
@@jeanclaude7018
Very true point. My dad had a 2005 Frontier and he put 200k miles on it and my dad isn’t easy on cars. Very good truck.
@@joshuagraham3222 My 1987 Hardbody has 428,000 miles and does hard work regularly. I watched my father abuse Datsun trucks as a kid doing construction, and they didn't quit.
So it's basic and old? No new technology? The new Tacoma blows it away and so does every other mid size.
@@atg1338 as if
I got a Frontier Pro4X on February and love it.
The Pro4x version is Nissan’s equivalent of Tacoma’s TRD Off-road trim that is about $10,000 cheaper on average compared to the Tacoma version.
Much better bang for your buck! 👌
Correction, this frontier is equivalent to the 3rd gen tacoma trd offroad. Priced similarly too. The entry level 3rd gen trd offroad was 37k and the premium offroad is 46k. Same as the frontier right now. Let's face it the current frontier benchmarked the 3rd gen tacoma trd offroad 😂😂😂
@@beexiong2995the frontier is 100,000,000 times more comfortable than a 3rd gen Tacoma, and better looking.
@@beexiong2995 Yes and no the 3rd gen Tacoma had a much worse v6 and auto transmission combo, Crappy C channel frame and don't even get me started on the rear drums brakes lol
@@sierratough4934 the refreshed frontier came out in 22. The new tacoma hadn't been revealed yet. Nissan benchmarked the 3rd gen cause they sold 200k a year.
That will be my next truck. Toyota has lost me. Thanks for the video!
They're so simple, and I love that.
I really like this truck. I shopped them hard in 2023 vs the 2023 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. The deal killer on the Nissan for me was the short bed. You cannot get the 6'bed on any other trim except the lower one (cv?) Cannot get 6' bed on Pro 4x. If they would have offered a loaded truck (doesnt need to be pro 4x trim) with 6' bed, i likely would have bought.
Yeah. Only the SV and below have 6ft bed option. I’ve seen a bunch of comments on other videos saying that the Canadian P4X gets the long bed
Will be looking soon for a 3rd Gen 20’+ Tacoma TRD OR w tech pkg. And if I cant find that I’ll look for a TRD Pro.
And if I still cant find either of the two, particularly the OR with the options I want @ the price I’m willing to pay, I’ll call it a day & go for the Pro4X. This truck is a winner in the mid sz class, F the haters.
I'm forever grateful I picked up a 2024 4Runner while I still can get one brand new.
As long as you don't need a bed...
Great content as always brother! This is a really nice truck and I’d take it over the new Tacoma! We are seeing the decline of the Toyota empire for sure as they’ve lost their way!
Is the Pro4x proven? Like is there any info on how well this will hold long term? My father is looking into these but long term reliability is what worries him. He currently has a 2011 Tacoma V6 with 130k miles on the odometer and is looking into a newer vehicle. I tell him the Tacoma he currently has is a monster but if he wants something new I wonder if the Pro4x will live up to his expectations. He likes the price tag over a used 3rd Gen 4x4 Tacoma.
These are the new Tacomas in the midsize segment. Engine has been around for ages. Trans is designed by Mercedes and manufactured by jatco. Aston Martin also uses this transmission in thr DBX suv
Only way I'd buy a Tocoma was if it was 30k cheaper and had the manual. Otherwise this is a no brainer.
I am staying clear away from the 4th gen tacoma's
There is a forgotten SUv that never gets enough love anymore and that’s the the Patrol, aka. Armada. Y61 (not so much the current y62) used to rival the Land Cruiser. Wish they can bring the y61 back to the states again. Recreate the rivalry and learn from Toyota’s recent mistakes (2025 will have a twin turbo v6 - sigh)
I think about buying a new Armada at least twice a year lol… love them. Plus a 5.6L V8 to boot! 👌
@@UntamedMotors I just wish there was more aftermarket for it but then again, you can always go Aussie as whatever fits the patrol will fit the armada. ARB front/rear bumpers though I hear lifts may be problematic just cuz of the tow setup in the rear. Maybe replacing with Portal Axels ( from @74weld) are a better solution for clearing tires without requiring a lift. Armadas are built like a tank.
As a new Tacoma owner and previous frontier owner, you guys can hate all you want on the frontier, but it is still a very good truck, You all just hate to hate like kids.
did you buy the 3rd gen or the 4th gen?
@archie_bunker good question.
@@icosthop9998 Thanks
Truth said
Who’s hating on the Frontier?
My lease on my 22 Tacoma will be over soon and really considering the Nissan truck.
Do we know longevity of these?
They’ve developed a solid reputation since 2019. 👍
I think it looks a lot better than current models of Toyota trucks. I don't like the red accents on the interior. The TV screen is better integrated in the Nissan and an afterthought with the Tacoma. Wish the Nissan came in manuals but if I were looking for a new truck, hell yes on the Nissan.
Me too I will consider buy it I’m thinking about it right now and I ain’t even seen the truck in person. That’s how fed up. I am with Toyota and ram.
Is it just me, or does the small headlights of the ‘24 just not look remotely as good as the 2020+ LED headlights?
You'll regret LED headlights when they fail and it costs $400 for a new assembly and taking apart the whole front end to get to it.
People should be buying the 24 titan over the tundra. They have huge discounts. Get em while you can
The titan is outdated that's why it's cheap
They came with a heated seat steering wheel??
Traded in my 2019 Sr5 v6 for 2024 Frontier pro x
I think the ford maverick turbo is the other small truck that is decent value. It’s about half the price of a Tacoma, which is the correct price for a turbo 4 cylinder imo.
Also I looked at the Tacoma at a local dealer Sunday just to check them out and saw they had a markup of $2500 on them which is crazy considering how many they had on the lot. Lol. Smh
Pure insanity… smh
Some dealers are trying their very best to keep that Toyota Tax/Premium alive lol…
Worked for nissan drive a nissan what all you toyota haters going to cry about when they go 4 cylinder turbo its already in the works.
Nissan is making some smart moves to grow in the mid size truck market through aggressive sales pricing and creating value in smart equipment and parts choices. Every new Frontier owner is a future continued Nissan owner. The market is primed for value oriented truck sales. Look no further than the Maverick. Nissan has a great opportunity right now.
I like that Nissan the price is right. I’d buy that way before I ever bought a Toyota again. I want a little more off-road. That’s why I bought the jeep gladiator hope you’re well. God bless you and your family.
I like the screen in the dash, looks cleaner imo. O
agreed. the 4th gen tacoma looks cheap
We got the 22 SV mainly because of the bigger box, and we don’t need all the bells and whistles of the Pro4, but we never thought once about the over priced Tacoma or the F150 T4 that they wanted $15k more. A Turbo 4 in a 1/2 ton? That ain’t a truck anymore. We also get 24MPG from the Non turbo 6.
No rear AC vent is such a dumb move
Good stuff. Thanks for covering the Frontier. Please include other/lower trim levels in the future. I don't understand those grab handles on either side of the shifter. What are they for? I've heard they are painful for drivers with longer legs. Specifically the right knee coming into contact with it. Always wondered if they could be removed?
Can’t wait for the review once you drive one!
Nice video. It seems to me Nissan is being smart and replacing what Toyota exited in a vacuum. Smart not to keep up with the neighbors in this space. I honestly hate all the new tech companies are putting into everything. Give me a 5th gen 4Runner and something likes this. Price is also a no brainer compared to the new Tacoma's with this V6. Who wants a 4 cyl?! Lame... Love the simplicity of this truck. Eye opener for most Toyota die-hards for sure. You can get the Prox4X new for under $40k I've read. Great deal all things considered.
Very nice alternative. Nice truck. Still love Toyotas more but these are coming in closer and closer to a comparable option.
Great video.
I would jump ship to one of these if there was a manual available.
Yeah I just got 1 and the Nissan dealership is easy to deal with!
They smell blood in the water 🤣
Not all Nissan dealers are the same....duh
I got a fully loaded pro-4x in Baja Storm for $45,500 OTD (MSRP $49,450). That sales price is about $43,155ish.
These trucks have low demand right now - sitting on lots for hundreds of days in some cases. Nissan dealerships are really trying their hardest to sell what they can.
After trying to find a 2020-2021 Toyota TRD Pro, I came to the quick conclusion that it is difficult to find a clean one for a reasonable price that has not been either well used or has a dubious history via CARFAX, etc. I just happened to see that Nissan had a V8, and after driving a Titan, I purchased a 2024 Titan Pro4X last week for a great discount and 0% interest financing for 60 months. I have not had a chance to drive it much yet, but am taking it on a trip next week and look forward to getting a better feel for it. I love the interior and features, and that proven and reliable, naturally aspirated 5.6L Endurance V8 and 9 speed transmission. Anxious to see what kind of mileage I can eek out of it. I can recommend that it is worth a test drive if one is interested in a unique, reliable, and under the radar full size truck.
Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉 You made an excellent choice! You will grow to love the smooth but brute VK56 more with each passing mile. If you remember to change the engine oil every 3500-5000K miles with quality oil (e.g. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum) and ATF every 20-30K miles, your Titan will be a faithful steed for many, many happy miles down the road. Enjoy the Ride!
@@craigslistseller9354 Thank you so very much ! I am pretty good about maintenance and I really appreciate your feedback. You make me feel better about the upcoming payments !
That is one nice looking truck

Does the PRO X come with a rear locker?
Yes
I love my Nissan frontier. 2017. Keep it simple.
Can’t go wrong with the frontier. 👌 good pick
I have a Honda Ridgeline that does pretty well. The transmission isn't my favorite so i was thinking about a toyota but they cratered themselves. Not sure if the Nissan is enough to move me off the Ridgeline.
I do like look and style of the new frontier. Especially with the blk led light bar to ne that's a must have on those back country roads.
The OBD port still accessible for scanning and resetting codes? It it locked out like modern mopar?
Frontier is a great deal right now. To get a similar deal on the Taco you'd need to get like $8-10k off of one.
HAHHAHAHA never thought I’d see u make a video of the frontier now that yoda is in the shit box
