Can you do the same with the 2021 Titan SV? I like the looks of the Pro 4x ,but have no need for it or the price. Would love to see how it does off-road too!! Thanks
Same. Andre keeps a good pace on his own. Having Roman backseat-driving on these reviews with Andre really gives me whiplash. And having to watch Andre double back, and change course mid thought, feels very frenzied. Both of them can do very competent vehicle reviews on their OWN, but when they're together it feels like they both wanna be THAT GUY.
@@scott8238 no your 14 definitely looks like that its ok you don't have to be in denial. Just because there is 1 or 2 things slightly changed does not make it a redesign so it still looks the same and very outdated like your 14. Its ok you want a lollipop
I'll be checking these out in a few years when I'm in the market. Always been a Frontier fan. I wish they'd bring back the Xterra to complete with the Bronco and Jeep.
Finally the SV version, looks good. If you tow and are starting off losing 400 lbs of cargo capacity to tongue weight, the extra payload of the SV vs the heavier trims can make a difference.
Thanks for the review of the SV trim package. If you can get your hands on a long wheelbase / long bed quad cab 4x4, a review of that configuration would be greatly appreciated!
Just picked up a pro X so far I like it! Wanted to get a 4x4 but nothing was available around me so I settled with the pro X fully loaded and it's a great truck I grew up driving nissan and they're just great trucks!
I owned a 1989 Hard Body 4WD Pickup, and a matching 89 4WD Pathfinder back in the day. The “glory days” of Nissan in my opinion. I wish they’d get back to a similar style again.
I've never seen a V6 get that type of fuel mileage being a 3.8. I can't think of one single V6 on the market right now that gives you better fuel economy than this V6 does.
@@jamesm568 Well not in the midsize class but in the full size class the F150 with the 2.7 gets 21 combined even in 4WD form. Plus the 2.7 has better horsepower and tons more torque than the 3.8 in the Nissan
Irony, I just pulled up behind this very same make, model and trim at the bank today. They seemed very happy with it. Must be because Andre did a review on it. :)
Like the truck. Sure wish this midsized segment would have an offering or two with stronger EPA numbers. This is really no better and even worse than some 1/2 ton trucks.
People that actually use their vehicle like a truck don't worry about the EPA BS. You want fuel efficiency then buy cheap ass Maverick that the low income peasants want.
@@jamesm568 if you ran a fleet you'd definitely care and consider fuel mileage as that equates out to thousands of dollars annually in expenses that could be avoided.
Yep, it's all about transmissions I think. Ford and GM try so hard with their transmissions and aerodynamics to make the highway mileage better. The only way to make things better is by following Ford and making a hybrid. Gasoline engines are at their physical best right now. There's no way to increase mpg unless you add electrification or decrease power
@@mctigmctiggy1475 that's where the compact truck segment will shine. very small and lightweight trucks that aren't very good for towing but still are capable in payload. meanwhile midsize trucks and half-tons keep getting heavier
Thanks Andre for sharing the mid level trim and in such a beautiful blue color 💙 that I would be all for. Even though I would rather have the Pro 4x, I may have to go for the SV 4x4 with 6 ft bed whenever I am able to get a truck. I really wish Nissan would update their website so that one can build and price the new 2022 Frontier not the 15 year old model. They have the 2022 Pathfinder but not the Frontier, even though it's marked to show up on lots next month in September.
I have the Suzuki Equator which is a rebadged frontier. Also have the SV package Only gripe I have is no locker in 4 low. But the limited slip diff is cool & works well in the snow. For a 10 year old truck she drives like day 1.
@@SupramanTRD was cheaper than the Nissan. Paid $22,900 new but also had 7 year 100k mile warrenty in the power train. To this day it still turns heads.

@@chriswilson433 Thats not really a bad thing. The switch gear feels pretty rugged compared to other vehicles I have driven lately. The heated seat switches are neat because you can leave them on when you leave the truck and they will be on when you remote start it
Nice to finally see the SV, the Pro 4X is cool but this will be the most common one out there, if for no other reason than its the one most people will be able to afford.
Interesting things to note when comparing this truck to the Tacoma is that this truck has electric cooling fans and rear disc brakes whereas the Tacoma has a mechanical fan and still has rear drums.
would have used the extra length in the cab to recline the upright rear seats or longer bed. That useless gap in the front just made the front look longer and do not help the overall proportion of the truck.
Drives me crazy that for a few hundred bucks you can get a 50" TV but God forbid if you want to add 2" to the screen to make it look correct its a multi thousand dollar package. And every manufacturer does it but it still is used car dealer slimy to me...
I was thinking the same thing the other day when I saw the tiny 4” screen Ford puts in the base Ranger. Anything smaller then a 7” screen is a marketing choice, not a cost choice.
@@jcibolo6265 I agree, but I use my truck for home remodeling and am working at a different place every week. So having the screen be bigger for my GPS is nice. It’s a luxury for sure, but it’s very helpful to me.
More business illiteracy and egalitarian BS. Yeah, it probably doesn't save them much money, if any, to produce a smaller screens. However, lower trim levels are often loss leaders. There has to be some sort of penalty for the fact that you didn't spend $50,000+. Otherwise, there would be no motivation to spend more on profitable configurations that are subsidizing your cheapy work truck. If you knew anything about running a business and making it profitable, you'd understand scale and cost spreading, as well as loss leading and the necessity of other forms of marketing strategy. Your sub-$30,000 work truck would not exist without them.
Wow. I just watched this again and it dawned on me how quiet the cab is. When you started the engine, only the gauge sweep gave away the fact it was running.
I had high hopes for this truck. Have they improved it, yes. I have found out that it does fall short on a few things you can get with the competition now. 1. No telescoping steering wheel 2. Electronic diff. only on the Pro4X 3. Getting close to 40K and no power passenger seat 4. Ought to have the interior metal inserts match the body paint. It looks a bit plain. If the new Tundra isn't outrageous on price, I'll take a look. It very well might be the Tacoma if they can beef up the 3.5 or replace it with a turbo four.
@@scott8238 I called a few dealerships and they said they are only getting one PRO-4X this year. I am sure they will mark it up to 50k. Guess I will have to wait until next year to buy one.
Nissan just hit it out of the park. Since F150 prices are up, up and away I'm forced into more affordable rides and this one is in front so far. Nice truck with no wheezy turbo. Just a no nonsense, simple natural aspiration V6.
Thanks for the review but when talking about a stereo system I don’t think “quiet good” is a compliment! Yes I know he meant quite good but I had to do a double take.
Frontiers never used cvt transmissions. Nope, they've always used JATCO conventional automatics. Which have been extremely reliable. This transmission is based on the one in the Titan. Which has been out for a few years. It's been a solid transmission. Can't say the same for the Aisin 6 speed in the Tacoma.
Boy like to see y’all tested this one in CO. Doing towing and off road in the SV model. With some mpg loop. maybe RTI. nice if Nissan give you the long bed one. Y’all Need ask them they can do that. Not just the Pro4x.
I cannot wait to see it in person. The anticipation is killing me! I currently have a Tacoma but I'm looking for more power, a better transmission, and more safety and tech features. This truck fits that bill very well from what I can see. This is the trim I would more than likely get. The Pro-4X is way too expensive and off-roadey for me. This will do just nicely. I don't know if I'll be able to afford the Premium package but I'll see what my dealer would be willing to do on price.
Honestly for you, get a OVtune or kdmax on your taco. All it is is computer programming that sucks. You will notice huge improvement over stock programming
The frontier has a frame, 4 wheel disks, metal bed, the most displacement, and a reliable transmission. Can't say the same for the Tacoma. Just becauss they sell well doesn't mean they're the best trucks. Sort of like F150's. I've only heard mightmares from owners
@@SupramanTRD Yep, I've told many folks who claim best in class towing or horsepower matters that it doesn't and they always tell me I'm full of it. Until I point out that the Tacoma doesn't lead the mid size class in any category, except sales. Reputation, brand loyalty and mystique matters. Max towing, not so much. At least in the mid size class. The Frontier would be my choice because I find the current one the most comfortable. The Tacoma is a great truck but the most uncomfortable vehicle I've driven in a long time. The Tundra is so much better comfort wise that it's hard to believe Toyota makes them both.
I've heard it is the same as the previous generation. So the Titan still has a smaller turn radius. My 2017 Crew Cab LB needs 2 Mall parking lots to turn around in. It's lucky those are all empty now days. I've been thinking about putting an Atlas transfer case in so I can do a front dig to get into a parking place.
Thank you for sharing this video if you can do some research on the brand new Nissan Titan Warrior that's supposed to be coming out this fall thank you again
I'm glad the infotainment is integrated into the dash, but they really don't do it justice with those massive bezels around it. Hopefully it's a better resolution, my work rogue's screen is TRASH. Horrendous resolution and it's angled up so the sun washes it out very easily
the frontier use to a significantly cheaper option compared to the others. now its costs about the same and bu the truck still reflects that cheaper price point.
I am cross shopping in the new frontier pro4X and the upcoming ram back country. I think the frontier pro4X has a little expensive considering for a few thousand more you can get the Koran back country. Would love to hear your thoughts on this
A really nice review, but very disappointing to see when I go to Nissan's website and build and price an SV optioned like this, we are looking at about $43k, and that is BEFORE destination and dealer fees.
Like my Titan, you need two hands to lift the lower part of the back seat - why?!!??!! Toyota Tundra is one latch, same hand to lift! I’m crying now. 😂
A lot of unibody based SUV's have more payload than many body on frame trucks, even half ton trucks. But most people never bother to look at the actual door sticker for payload capacity and assume the advertised maximum payload for the base model work truck is the payload for all trucks in the lineup. That is never true. Of course, max payload on these SUV's and now, of course, the Maverick change with added options as well. Unibodies are not weaker designs than non-commercial or heavy duty frame based vehicles especially when kept in SUV form with the entire roof structure in place. The unibody design is typically lighter which helps keep payload high. It is also a much stiffer platform that almost always uses independent suspension which allows better ride and handling even with stiffer springs which allows a higher payload as well. The trucks could easily have 2000 pounds of payload capacity as many of their overseas counterparts built on the same platforms do but the ride and handling suffer dramatically and the average consumer in the states wants a comfortable ride more than they want massive payload capacity. In Asia, Australia and Europe the full size truck is all but non-existent so it falls to the mid size crowd to carry the load and so they beef them up over there. I suspect there's also a little fear in corporate offices that if they give their mid size truck a higher payload than their full size then why buy the full size for more money? But the manufacturers don't consider truck and SUV buyers as cross shoppers. And the Maverick is in a different class as well.
360 view on Nissan is usually on SL and higher trims. Armada, Titan etc… PS i needed a pickup and one of the reasons i chose 2021 nissan Titan XD over 2021 Tundra was the 360view, whereas the Tundra didnt have one on any trim. Plus the Titan had awesome rebate and dealer discount.
One thing i dont like about all these midsize is you have to get the top of ghe line offroad package to get a rear locker, i have i tacoma sr5 and i needed to spends 5k more for ghe trd off road, the only one who offers it on the lower trims is the ford ranger with the fx4 package which is cheap so thank you ford for that, wish all the others would understand this and make it available in lower trims also cause they really do make it better off road and not everyone can afford a 45k midsize truck
It only makes sense that they would offer a locker with an off-road package. It's not like most buyers take their trucks off-road anyways. So, it's probably not economical or a total waste to offer it across the line.
Heck the ranger you don't even need the FX4 to get it! You can manually option the rear locker. I wish other manufacturers would let you do that, I don't need a rough riding lifted truck, but a rear locker can come in handy big time in snow or other slippery conditions. If the frontier doesn't allow you to have a locking rear diff and navigation on a king cab model then it just can't compete with the Ranger
Honestly the only luxury feature that I really want out of a vehicle is leather seats and heated seats. Other than that I really don’t care. Sure cameras and stuff are convenient. But I’m certainly not going to be upset if a vehicle doesn’t have it.
How the armrest width? That's the only thing I don't like about mid sized trucks and why I love full size, is that huge space between seats and elbles don't touch for tall folks like me. I like the nissan put the parking brake at floor, and not a pull by hand on next to shifter like Tacoma were it waste valuable space.
Thank you Andre, for bringing us the trim model everyone wants to see and not the high trim few will ever buy.

I cannot wait to see it in person. The anticipation is killing me! I currently have a Tacoma but I'm looking for more power, a better transmission, and more safety and tech features. This truck fits that bill very well from what I can see. This is the trim I would more than likely get. The Pro-4X is way too expensive and off-roadey for me. This will do just nicely. I don't know if I'll be able to afford the Premium package but I'll see what my dealer would be willing to do on price.
Honestly for you, get a OVtune or kdmax on your taco. All it is is computer programming that sucks. You will notice huge improvement over stock programming
I think many people will find this an attractive option. Thanks for adding some model depth to the online reviews.
For now, I like the new Frontier better than the Ranger and Tacoma.
The frontier has a frame, 4 wheel disks, metal bed, the most displacement, and a reliable transmission. Can't say the same for the Tacoma. Just becauss they sell well doesn't mean they're the best trucks. Sort of like F150's. I've only heard mightmares from owners
@@SupramanTRD Yep, I've told many folks who claim best in class towing or horsepower matters that it doesn't and they always tell me I'm full of it. Until I point out that the Tacoma doesn't lead the mid size class in any category, except sales. Reputation, brand loyalty and mystique matters. Max towing, not so much. At least in the mid size class. The Frontier would be my choice because I find the current one the most comfortable. The Tacoma is a great truck but the most uncomfortable vehicle I've driven in a long time. The Tundra is so much better comfort wise that it's hard to believe Toyota makes them both.
Is the turning radius tighter than the previous model?
I've heard it is the same as the previous generation. So the Titan still has a smaller turn radius. My 2017 Crew Cab LB needs 2 Mall parking lots to turn around in. It's lucky those are all empty now days. I've been thinking about putting an Atlas transfer case in so I can do a front dig to get into a parking place.
It's much tighter.
Thank you for sharing this video if you can do some research on the brand new Nissan Titan Warrior that's supposed to be coming out this fall thank you again
88 degrees is considered cool weather were I live. 😆
Does Nissan or any other Pick-up truck change the transmission when to go for long bed? Thanks. Great video.
nope same 9 speed auto Jatco transmission
Nice looking rig
Nice. Finally more normal trucks.
Sticking to the NA engine will transition most toyo owners
Would it be this over a Tacoma? 2022 is my truck buying year, gonna be doing some test driving
I'm glad the infotainment is integrated into the dash, but they really don't do it justice with those massive bezels around it. Hopefully it's a better resolution, my work rogue's screen is TRASH. Horrendous resolution and it's angled up so the sun washes it out very easily
the frontier use to a significantly cheaper option compared to the others. now its costs about the same and bu the truck still reflects that cheaper price point.
I am cross shopping in the new frontier pro4X and the upcoming ram back country. I think the frontier pro4X has a little expensive considering for a few thousand more you can get the Koran back country. Would love to hear your thoughts on this
Love the color. Very nice. Looking 😊
Hopefully the cabin is quiet. The older frontier was loud on the freeway
19/22 MPG with 19 combined? A full size truck will do that with much more safety, comfort, and capability.
Not everybody wants a full size truck.
Hi Andre, my thought at 4:55 regarding wireless charging. This is a useless feature unless you also have wireless Apple CarPlay.
Nice color, wonder if it's available in the S trim
Looking forward to the testing.
really wana see the top trim of the long bed 4 door model
A really nice review, but very disappointing to see when I go to Nissan's website and build and price an SV optioned like this, we are looking at about $43k, and that is BEFORE destination and dealer fees.
Like my Titan, you need two hands to lift the lower part of the back seat - why?!!??!! Toyota Tundra is one latch, same hand to lift! I’m crying now. 😂
When are they going to let us build one on there website?
Hopefully soon!
Why does the car based Maverick have more payload than a lot of these midsized trucks ?
A lot of unibody based SUV's have more payload than many body on frame trucks, even half ton trucks. But most people never bother to look at the actual door sticker for payload capacity and assume the advertised maximum payload for the base model work truck is the payload for all trucks in the lineup. That is never true. Of course, max payload on these SUV's and now, of course, the Maverick change with added options as well. Unibodies are not weaker designs than non-commercial or heavy duty frame based vehicles especially when kept in SUV form with the entire roof structure in place. The unibody design is typically lighter which helps keep payload high. It is also a much stiffer platform that almost always uses independent suspension which allows better ride and handling even with stiffer springs which allows a higher payload as well. The trucks could easily have 2000 pounds of payload capacity as many of their overseas counterparts built on the same platforms do but the ride and handling suffer dramatically and the average consumer in the states wants a comfortable ride more than they want massive payload capacity. In Asia, Australia and Europe the full size truck is all but non-existent so it falls to the mid size crowd to carry the load and so they beef them up over there. I suspect there's also a little fear in corporate offices that if they give their mid size truck a higher payload than their full size then why buy the full size for more money? But the manufacturers don't consider truck and SUV buyers as cross shoppers. And the Maverick is in a different class as well.
It’s a shame the SV doesn’t have the option for a bigger screen with nav, 360 cam, nor wireless charging.
360 view on Nissan is usually on SL and higher trims. Armada, Titan etc…
PS i needed a pickup and one of the reasons i chose 2021 nissan Titan XD over 2021 Tundra was the 360view, whereas the Tundra didnt have one on any trim. Plus the Titan had awesome rebate and dealer discount.
Cup inserts on the tailgate; cool!
Looks great but for 2022 model year you would expect better mpg for all frontier models
One thing i dont like about all these midsize is you have to get the top of ghe line offroad package to get a rear locker, i have i tacoma sr5 and i needed to spends 5k more for ghe trd off road, the only one who offers it on the lower trims is the ford ranger with the fx4 package which is cheap so thank you ford for that, wish all the others would understand this and make it available in lower trims also cause they really do make it better off road and not everyone can afford a 45k midsize truck
It only makes sense that they would offer a locker with an off-road package. It's not like most buyers take their trucks off-road anyways. So, it's probably not economical or a total waste to offer it across the line.
I'd bet most truck buyers don't even know or care what a locker is.
You don’t even need to get a 4wd ranger to get the rear locker, they are 2wd rangers with rear lock available
Heck the ranger you don't even need the FX4 to get it! You can manually option the rear locker.
I wish other manufacturers would let you do that, I don't need a rough riding lifted truck, but a rear locker can come in handy big time in snow or other slippery conditions.
If the frontier doesn't allow you to have a locking rear diff and navigation on a king cab model then it just can't compete with the Ranger
The 2022 sr5 trail edition will come with a factory lift kit as well as a rear locker, so it should be quite a bit cheaper than the TRD trims.
Honestly the only luxury feature that I really want out of a vehicle is leather seats and heated seats. Other than that I really don’t care. Sure cameras and stuff are convenient. But I’m certainly not going to be upset if a vehicle doesn’t have it.
How the armrest width? That's the only thing I don't like about mid sized trucks and why I love full size, is that huge space between seats and elbles don't touch for tall folks like me. I like the nissan put the parking brake at floor, and not a pull by hand on next to shifter like Tacoma were it waste valuable space.
Honda Ridgeline is as wide as a half ton
Thanks!
