Video title was "Mid sized trucks to avoid". He pretty much listed all the mid sized trucks available, so I am still trying to figure out which trucks to not avoid and then he didn't rank them, but he said he did. I now know what TH-cam channel to avoid.
Honestly, when a vehicle is given a con just because it lacks certain electronics and safety features, I have to laugh. How did all decades before 2020 survive without these features? Lol.
Lol RIGHT!!!!!…..my first car was a 86 Toyota MR2 5 speed manual . Didn’t have none of this equipment and yet I still survived. I just paid attention while I was driving.
@@carsonhoover5767 '05 Sebring (2.4l i4, 4-speed auto, fwd) with 151k miles. Bought back in '08 and I still have it. The only electronic "accessories" she has is power doors and locks and an aftermarket remote start, works for me. :)
@@carsonhoover5767 agreed, and they're more distractions than anything else (and another way to make a vehicle more expensive). I don't need a backup camera to back into my driveway, neither lane assistance to tell me someone's in the other lane...
Agreed. I think there would be a solid market for a more basic truck with rubber floors and Naugahyde seats. Carpeted floors just hold mud a dog fur. And who the hell walks around inside their truck in bare feet? I want good power, four wheel drive or AWD. I do not need a sun roof or numerous electronic gizmos. But car manufacturers learned. While back that they couldn’t sell us more vehicles, but they could sell us more vehicle.
After reading all these reviews. Sounds like the Nissan Frontier is a pretty good truck. I believe the owners more than the critics on any of these vehicles. 🤔
I bought a 2022 pro-4X and love it. I test drove the Rangers, colorado/canyon, and Tacoma. I ended up with the Nissan. I like the fact that Nissan is selling a truck not a giant computer on wheels. The interior is way better than the rest the infotainment system works great. I've used it at our family farm and it did great off road. (I had to go through a creek with a pretty steep incline and had no issues with ground clearance). I think alot of these TH-camrs are payed off by these other car companies. The frontier has everything I wanted and need at a good price point.
The Nissan Frontier is the better overall truck in my opinion. I got the Pro4X in Dec. 2021 and it has been fantastic. Plenty of power and luxury. The SV with the premium package replaced the SL. I drove all the vehicles except the Maverick and the Santa Cruz and none of them drive as well as the Frontier. My Frontier is the perfect midsize for me.

I bought a Nissan pro 4x in November been a outstanding truck so far.. running the shale washboard roads of Montana everyday this vehicle takes no prisoners ! I have been avg 20.7 mpg on reg not bad for a truck that weighs close to 4600 lbs.
It must run on snails and the horse power must be frog legs cause it’s a frenchy car with Renault looks. In France they call it the Alaskan which is just a Frontier that wasn’t built by dumb hillbillies in the fattest and poorest state in America (Mississippi)
No doubt, the frontier is a nice truck. The one I drove was a 4X PRO, and I really liked it. I was close to buying it. But after I saw the trunk in the Ridgeline the new design of the 2022 and the ride, I was hooked. That worked for me, but we all have different needs, so you do you.
At 60,000 miles let me know if you recommend someone buying this vehicle and about ask you would you buy it again no you’ll see everyone’s right they’re still not quality built like super run whatever Toyota I mean
Consumer Reports rating of the Tacoma is simply laughable. Seriously, it's so off the mark you just have to wonder what their motive is? I stopped renewing my membership simply because I can't tell if they are trustworthy source anymore.
In my opinion I would rank the New frontier pro 4X is number one. I just bought one about 2 months ago and absolutely love it. I did a ton of research on all of the midsize pickups before making any decisions. I will say though that I might have had some bias as my vehicle it replaced is a 2007 Nissan Xterra which I loved dearly and actually decided to keep it as a winter vehicle. When looking for vehicles I really would have loved to see a brand new 2022 Nissan Xterra redesign but the frontier is a beauty the engine feels great the infotainment system is really nice I don't find it cluttered at all. Seats are super comfortable driving position is really good and adjustable. The only cons that I can see some people not liking is the hydraulic steering instead of electric and the amount of leg room in the rear. Other than that though I really can't see why anybody wouldn't like this truck.
Congrats! I Just bought a Pro4x last week and I was supposed to get a Tacoma the same day, but after driving it I wasn’t excited or nothing not even by the interior, then I remembered the Frontier had gotten redesigned and as soon as I saw it I’m like this is the one and took it for a test drive I knew I was gonna get it. Love it so far!
Yeah, overall frontier is number 1 for me I have 2022 proX in white! But I will agree the steering needs to be Electric Power steering but that is coming from someone that had a GMC Canyon with real smooth steering.
I will say again , nissan pro 4x got a low rate , every person I’ve talked to that owns this truck loves it. Not one person said anything bad. I’m a Tacoma guy, but will be changing to nissan . Think Nissan company just needs to kick up some payola to right people to get better ratings. Unfortunately it’s the American way.
My 2020 Ridgeline Sport is plenty of truck for what I need lots of storage gets me off road enough in the dirt since I’m not a big time mudder and it tows my camper. I can get 27 to 28 mpg on the highway and carry my canoe. Very comfortable ride.
I'm avoiding the Ford Maverick like a plague right now due to first generation production jitters. Every Ford Maverick our local Ford dealer has sold has come back for warranty work ranging from cracked wheels all the way to needing engine replacements. Most common issue is interior rattles.
@@scottvamp Engine/ trans have been in their Frontiers for 2yrs now. The 2020/2021 models were used to test mule the drivetrain for the 2022, and just like the old 4.0 it's been a solid engine.
I bought the Nissan pro4x. The engine is what a V6 in a midsize should feel and sound like. It looks amazing inside and out. I got the green one without the leather seats. I just prefer the orange trim which is not available with leather. The infotainment system is millions of lightyears better than any other in the segment… period. The quality of the screen and image is superior and the screen size is larger than most. I terms of mpg… I’ve been hitting the highway and it’s done 27mpg and 20-22 mpg in the city. The wheel is just amazing, it feels just the right amount of heavy to really get that trucky feeling. Nissan is always an underdog in this segment but somehow is one of the most durable. I still see around older models from early 2000’s. Plus is AMERICAN 🇺🇸.
@@Alexandroidd on highway it has done from 25 to 27 being the best so far. City is between 19-22 mpg. It is new so let’s see how it does in the long run. So far even though gas prices are off the charts I can’t complain tbh.
I’m averaging 24 MPGs in my Pro X in combined driving and the truck isn’t even broken in yet. Things also built like a tank. Reminds me of the way German cars used to be made.
Love the new frontier! Speaking of older, Friend has a 16' with 187k. No real problems engine or tranny. Blackstone oil analysis shows great numbers on both and very little if any wear by the engine. Rock solid!!
Lol, "tough titties," eh? Personal hands-on testing trumps the reviewers, so tough titties back at you. Also, that misleading clickbait title. I test drove all of these except for the Hyundai and the Maverick. I actually ordered a Maverick Lariat FX4 in mid-December of 2021, loaded with everything. It is now September 4, 2022, and it still hasn't gone to the assembly line. I need a truck, and out of all I tested, the 2022 Ranger Lariat FX4 (fully loaded) impressed me the most. I bought one in Cactus Gray with the blackout package. Yeah, it's a bit bouncy on the pavement if you compare it to an SUV or sedan, but so was my old half-ton truck. But my Ranger is really comfortable. Off-road, it really shines. I was a little disappointed with the gas mileage at first, but now that it is broken in, I'm getting an average of 23 MPG, in combined city and mountain highway driving. I'm happy with that. I'm also happy with the awesome power and torque of that little 4-cylinder turbo engine. I just love my Ranger. I've decided that if the Maverick ever gets delivered, I'll re-sell it.

His review of the new Frontier was BS. I have owned my 2022 Nissan Frontier PRO4X for almost a year and I have no complaints with the truck. Nice smooth ride and the interior finishes suit my needs.
New Frontier is a great truck. Bought the Pro 4x end of last year and it rides nice. I’m hoping I will love this truck as much as the 1st generation 2006 Honda Ridgeline I used to drive.
@@Randy-lf2dp The trans are good now. Just had a Tacoma for a rental that had a few hundred miles on it and the cheap plastic is horrible. The Tacoma needs the 4.0L engine. The 3.5 just feels sluggish when on road. The cab is also really horrible for tall people. I'm waiting to see how Toyota screws up the next gen 4Runner before I get my next vehicle.
@@robertmisiuk7137 I liked my 2006 Tundra better than my new 2022 tacoma I just use it to go back and forth to work and maybe get a couple things from the Home Depot that's about it otherwise my wife's Camry does really good
The biggest misconception with trucks, is that everyone uses them for the same thing. If we did, we wouldn't have mini-trucks and the F 400 and 500 series trucks, and everything inbetween. The hate that the Ridgeline gets is stupid. I drove a Ridgeline when I worked for Honda Canada, and thought it was great. The AWD system and VTM-4 made it so I NEVER got stuck, in mud, snow or anything else. The Ridgeline also out-performed a lot of Jeeps at a Jamboree, due to the way the drive system worked...I always had a tire on the ground and with quality BFG's it was fantastic. The argument that it had a funny shape and couldn't carry a camper was ridiculous; neither can the Avalanche and neither can most 1/2 tonne trucks. The new Ranger is great, and the Tacoma just keeps on going, though in both cases, the lack of diesel engines here in North America, gives us significantly less payload capabilities than the same trucks in the UK for instance; with the diesel you get an upgraded suspension and brakes. Obviously with the lack of full-sized trucks in the UK and Europe, having the mid-sized with improved ability is a necessity we just won't find here. If the Maverick or Ridgline works for a retired couple or family who need to do a recycling run weekly, go to the Home Depot or garden nursery, or fly-fishing on a Sunday afternoon...that is great. If someone is out there saying that the only truck is a one-tonne, lifted, chipped, and belching smoke on seven foot tires, then I would recommend therapy to overcome the smaller than average penis, and recognize that stock Land Rovers have explored the world, every inch of it without a lift kit, chip, and a mortgage worth of add-ons.
You just made me make my mind up on The Ridgeline; I’m sold. Like seriously how is not being able to tow the same amount as a Ford or Tacoma considered a “con” lol
I went with the Ridgeline lol. I liked the features and interior ergonomics. I just tow a Jet Ski and occasional runs to Home Depot, taking junk to the dump, or picking up a large item like a TV, furniture, appliance, etc.. I like that it's not too big or too small, it's just right for me!
I can't decide between the Ridgeline and Maverick. There's like maybe 5-6k difference in price in the trims I want. I've always had Hondas..which is good and bad I guess.
I’m seriously considering getting the Ridgeline and raising it 3” to give it a little more off-roading capabilities. Not driving up a mountain, but for unpaved roads
@@jacksonhill2303 Works for me. I use a flash drive and Sirius for most music. I plug in my iPhone for Apple play. The truck has navigation but I use Waze and works great on the truck’s screen. Siri and Alexa work fine.

I’ve been driving some sort of Frontier since 2007. Frontier’s are all I drive. I’ve had one with about 160,000 miles. Aside from breaks and normal maintenance. They have never been in a shop for mechanical problems. They are an absolute work horse. That’s why I keep buying them.
I've had all 3 generations of the Tacoma including my 2017 since Aug 2016. All have been great. 85K and still on original brakes no mechanical/reliability issues. That reliability and off-road ability keep me coming back but I would seriously consider the Nissan Frontier and the Ranger has much more interior room but worry about how long those turbos would last...
I’m coming from a Tacoma and I love the frontier pro 4x that I recently bought. More head room and comfort over all than the Tacoma in my opinion. Also no turbo, 3.8 liter v-6
Well here I go dismantling this video. 1 none of these trucks are obtainable for the mentioned cost. 2.hondas Ridgeline has the cheapest looking interior of them all. 3. Colorado has the second worst interior, where all your time is spent sitting. Power is weak 4. Toyota has the cheapest made body and panels but does have reliable engines but lack power. 5. Nissan Frontier by far the best built best interior and best ride handle and comfort along with best display in any truck. The pro4x is a class by its self. Top dog pick 6. The jeep truck. 30 years ago this ugly creature arrived , called the scrambler and it died as quick as this ugly arrival will. Interior is well short of a truck, just a jeep really. Who cares, it's gross looking and isn't all that dependable. 7. Bottom line is every single order and rating this video gave was dead wrong and way off or reality. 8. Nissan top dog 9. Toyota 2nd dog 10. The rest, well don't bother. You'll be real disappointed in them
Update....I just pulled for the first time a 21 foot sea ray with the Toyota, Colorado, the Honda, and finally my nissan pro4x and I definitely made the right choice. Out powered them all. Toyota came jn second but lacked the brute of the Nissan. The others, well far short of the power it seemed. They struggled bad. Also update the pro4x has a better equipped interior over the titan which I found odd. Seems the bigger would be better equipped. I mean who doesn't like bells and whistles right. All mid size trucks I checked out were in thier own rights nice. All rode well toyota, Colorado, canyon, Honda. Just weren't overall the best choice for what I was looking for. But the mid size truck market has picked up the game for sure. Move over big trucks
I have a 2022 Nissan Frontier King cab SV trim with a 6-foot bed and love it. The 3.8 Liter is strong. Has an electric driver seat with electric mirrors. Apple and Android play. Big 8-inch touch screen. Avg city mileage is 24. Can tow up to 6720 lbs.
Very in accurate and misleading title to this video. This is not a list of midsize trucks to avoid. This is a list of midsize trucks and their features/scores. Why not make the title match what the video actually shows????
Loving my Nissan frontier pro 4x. Coming from a Tacoma TRD off-road, it’s much more comfortable and is equally as capable. My plan was a TRD pro Tacoma, but at 55k, I couldn’t justify it. Put a small lift and some 33’s on the frontier and I’d imagine it would give a TRD pro a good run for its money.
You used five sources, so in other words you never put your hands on these vehicles? Lol You just went off of what someone else said, and the first couple trucks you only had a few of the sources to go on? Traditionally everybody knows who knows trucks that Edmunds, Kelley Blue book and JD power stroke Honda hard. The fridge line is the most dated looking of the trucks nice 1995 styling, It can't do anything the other trucks can do including towing payload and off-roading, but they gave it crazy high marks? Check out the number of Honda advertisements in some of their magazines.... You get a better idea of how Honda executives influence these review magazines, It has a reliable motor that doesn't get good fuel economy.... And is ridiculously high priced for the base trim levels. Where do I sign!?! (Sarcasm intended) Honda fan boys are almost as bad as trekkies. If this is the only video I needed to watch then I just might as well watch someone else's, at least they put their hands on the vehicles.
Bought a Ranger last year and she's barely at 5500 Miles and I absolutely love her! Tall and drives nice and smooth, also picks up speed fast too. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
I drove the ranger for a couple of months and fell in love with it so much room in the back the handling was great just loved it But yes it is the turbo and all the electronics that is stopping me from buying one
I had a 16 GMC Canyon. At 22,000km the bushings on the suspension went, never seen a dirt road it was a city truck and driven slowly. At 28,000km the infotainment head unit crapped out, was replaced under warranty. At 36,000km the rear taillight kept shorting out and the bulb was melting into the socket. Gm couldn’t fix this problem and it persisted until I got rid of the truck. Around 36,000km the 4x4 system wouldn’t engage or disengage in cold weather. Gm couldn’t fix this either meaning I had to leave it in 4x4 just to ensure I had it when I needed it… finally at 44,000km the engine started to burn oil and was blowing oil out of the exhaust. The engine needed to be replaced, and the head unit failed a second time. With all the problems on the vehicle, I went to Amvic filed a complaint and gm bought the truck back under lemon law. What a hunk of junk. My buddies on his third frontier all three have gotten him to 250k km plus and he just trades them for newer ones with no issues
freinds dont let friends buy Chevys... bummer to hear that man thats probably a rare case but I've had issues with any gm car I drove even for a short sprint lol. Just bought my 2022 Pro 4X a few days ago I am loving it! Frontier owners may be easy to please and im ok with that but its sooo mucb bwtter than my 2016, but my 16 was a base model with the v6 and 2wd but its been flawless for 130,000 miles outstanding truck and this new one feels leaps and bounds more quality built.
@@AsianPersuation24x7 yeah I’m working on a deal for a 14 xterra it’s super clean for my second vehicle. A lot of the issues I had with my canyon I found forums of others on Reddit with similar issues. Most of them traded their vehicles away and never got a permanent fix for the 4x4 not working in cold weather. I’ve always found the frontiers to have such a big turning radius as the only real downside to owning one. I don’t know if that’s rectified on the new models or not, but my buddy loves his and aside from 2 being write offs in accidents they all had high mileage and never cost him anything in regards to serious or weird maintenance repairs.
You’re absolutely right the 16 was horrible 17 they went with a great motor understand I had a buddy that butter 16 a joke I laughed at it when I wrote in it anyhow you might never know until you can’t blame anybody but it was a piece of junk in the first place 15 was not much better
@@austinlibby7025 it’s not often the dealership buys back a vehicle but Amvic inspected the truck and said there’s so many problems with it it would cost more than the vehicle is worth to try and fix all of them. They spent a ton of time trying to figure out the 4x4 problem and the melting taillight with no luck
@@Bob-fk8vd this is the 3rd gm product I’ve had that’s been a lemon. Bought a Hyundai for the wife she’s been very happy with it. I’ve recently purchased a clean 07 Colorado in-line 5 single cab with the zq8 package. 223,000km and only minor issues so far. I’m just not impressed with gm. They’ve really burned me and not sure what compelled me to buy the 07, just love the looks(could be a huge mistake). My buddy has a 18 Silverado with the 5.3l in it and the transmission grenaded at 43,000km. Fingers crossed my 07 doesn’t.
I’ll allow that the Ranger was dated when we got it in America, but that’s because the rest of the world had it for years, and I feel like the bugs were worked out because of that. I’ve had mine for 2 years, and I’ve never had a problem with it. *edit I know the engine and transmission are different in the North American market. But I’m 46,000 miles in, and it’s doing great.
@James SS kind of the same thing here. When I bought mine, it was one of 3 left on the lot. Though, at this point, I’d say that literally anything that comes off of the hauler is normally sold pretty quickly given the scarcity of everything.

I was able to walk away from a red light runner front impact crash in my 2017 Tacoma with 30,000 miles. Yes, I will be getting a 2022 Tacoma once the other drivers insurance pays out.

@Disposable Dad great for highway. I’m not gonna lie and say it’s like driving a luxury car and floating on a cloud. It’s a truck and it drives like one. It’s more comfortable than the Tacoma I tested. I’m 6’2” and it’s fine for me
I just received a new 2022 Tacoma on 3/3. I have owned 4 Toyota small trucks since 1984 including the new 22 model. In total I have had to replace two mechanical parts, a water pump, and an A/C compressor. No tows, and only two non-starts due to batteries. People can say what they want, but they are tough, durable, and reliable. Yes, they are less powered than most of its competition, and they don't have all the frills. You know, very things that break the most. Instead, Toyota focuses on refining the detail that makes them reliable. Tacoma's do some things great, and others only extremely well. But rest assured, that if you maintain it, it will provide you with a life long ride, on road, and off. FYI, my 2022 is getting 21.5 - 23.5 combined mpg
People commenting on here disregarding the king Tacoma. There’s a reason why Toyota just sold out sold every car manufacturer in the US;) My 2021 TRD is amazing!!!
Consumers have spoken. Ordered fully loaded Nissan Pro4X. Looked at all the others. No comparison. I wouldn’t consider myself a frontier lover. Had Ford up to this point. Just felt it was the best of what I looked at. Ranger, Canyon, Colorado, and the Frontier.
I purchased a new 2016 Canyon that had intermittent electrical problems. At times, the windows, heated seats, heater blower, and wipers wouldn’t work, and the 4WD wouldn’t engage. Also, the stereo would turn on by itself or the screen would go blank. I sold it back to GM and purchased a Tacoma.
I rented a new Tacoma last year and didn't like it, not a good highway truck ... so I am wondering why do they sell so many ? I think the Ridgeline is a much better truck than the Tacoma for highway cruising, comfort and features.
I work at a Honda dealership. Expect much expensive maintenance. V6 Honda is belt driven vrs Toyota has chain. Overall longevity Toyota will be less maintenance.
Several articles I’ve read on the new Frontier are very favorable as well as some other TH-camrs like TFLTruck and most recently Kirk Kreifels who is a huge Toyota fan but said the Frontier feels less “tinny” than the Tacoma. As for the Maverick, Santa Cruz, and Ridgeline those are kinda a different thing, and at least for me a big “No Thanks”.
@@MeltingRubberZ28 Ridgeline is the best midsize for 80-90% of what people actually use midsize pickups for. For people who actually go hardcore off-roading/adventuring, body on frame is obviously the choice, but the Ridgeline will surprise with its capabilites and will suffice in light off-roading situations. And if you're seriously worried about tow ratings, then you're shopping in the wrong segment. A full size truck is what you want.
I bought a 2022 Nissan Frontier, albeit only the S model. I had a 2015 Chevy Colorado before that. It's not really fair to compare the two, but I will say the Colorado felt more solidly built and durable. However, the Frontier's engine power is impressive; it also handles bumps much better than my Colorado did. The brakes are top notch, and the interior is considerably quieter as well. I guess time will tell if my Frontier was a good replacement for my Colorado, but I did get a good seven years out of it without any major mechanical issues.
You bought the best of all mid size trucks on the market. The pro4x is a beast in all departments especially interior where it was rated weak. Easy to rate when you actually sit in all of them before making that purchase. I to bought the pro4x due to what I gathered in test drives and actual visual and tried out test drives. By far the best mid size vehicle. Great choice
Frontier has always been an underdog. I love them, but I hate Nissan for other super crappy vehicles. I have a 2014 Colorado but the engine had to be rebuilt right at 125k miles. Coulnd't handle a working life due to a terrible design on the engine itself. I wanna buy a new truck, but I find myself looking between the Colorado, Tacoma and Frontier. I want the top dog. Pro4x V6, ZR" or TRD pro. Up to now, the colorado offers a Front Locker, Tacoma has great reputation and great aftermarket support and Frontier seems like it is a better working and highway truck, but lacks both advantages from the other 2 trucks. Any thoughts on that?
The frame of the new frontier is an evolution of the old platform, which is very solid and also in use on the Pathfinder and Xterra, I can all but guarantee the new one will be solid too.
At age 74, I have owned two Nissan pickups and one tundra. All three were problem free. 200k mile clubs all tree. I am waiting for 2023 models now. My criteria, in order, are safety features then freeway comfort, and finally utility. Price figures only after I decided on trim. Example for safety is getting alerts when backing up at Costco. Example for comfort is back support when on the freeway. I welcome your comments.
I bought a 2022 ridgeline black edition. I was looking for a midsize comfortable midsize truck for road-trips best choice I made. Not to small not to big a lot of storage space best truck for road-trip cross country
I bought a 2022 ranger black edition and couldn’t be happier with it. Loaded with all the safety features and rides like a dream. Lots of seat room in the back as well and has more than enough power. Easy for my wife to drive as well and easier to park. I had a 2012 f 150 4x4 and like this even better. My friend down the street says he likes it better than his 2022 Nissan Frontier which both of us were even lucky enough to get because of the shortages. My ranking would be Ranger, Ridgeline, Frontier, Tacoma.....

I traded my 28,000 mile colorado off for a new Frontier. The colorado lived at the chevy garage, In 5 times for the 8 speed trans then the 3.6 motor started to knock when started. GM crap, ever again.

I am so glad I walked away from an almost sale of a Colorado yesterday. 2022, Z71 Gray. Looked nice, that was ALL. Ride was just ok. I am so glad they would not give me what I wanted for a 2013 Silverado with 97k on it. That was our second day test driving it, & something just kept telling me no... walk away... walk away. What got me is the terrible air conditioning. That thing would not cool after 10 miles. Red Flag!!! No one Raves about a Colorado. No one carries on about how much they love it, and how great it is. No one. I will never walk into Serpentini Strongsville Ohio again. Very juvenile atmosphere!!! Stupid large screen with nothing but ridiculous advertising crap. Has such a low-class feel to it. Can't believe they have a snack bar area on their main showroom and all it has, is clutter inside it. Storage area. LMFAO!!! I was so thankful and glad I did not buy that today. Nothing like that gut feeling. Then I read this!!! WOW! Sorry for your terrible loss and troubles. This video was not so great. Change the title dude. Seems many people agree on that.
When time for me to get a truck I chose the GMC extended cab with long bed. It's a truck and that's what served me. For better price point was tempted by the smaller engine but got the V6 and am glad I did. Nothing fancy or fashion forward but plan to drive it for years to come.
He said midsized trucks to avoid? All he did was give some pros and cons on all available midsized trucks. So do you avoid all of the trucks he talked about. No such vehicle is perfect they all have some issues and all break down at some point. If you listen to everyone who thinks they are experts and maybe not owned any of the trucks mentioned you will never buy a vehicle. Just buy what you like and enjoy it! I own a 2021 Ridgeline touring edition and I love it. 90 percent of people who buy a truck use it for work or weekend yard work or going to home depot. The rest of 10 percent use their trucks for towing all the time and go off reading.
The Ford truck looks really good and it's a good gas mileage truck good price too affordable that's what we need in America not all that fancy stuff like those city folks country folks need style off-road for farm and get the job fun mud
My 2019 GMC Canyon SL with the Eaton manual Transmission and the 4 cylinder, minus some minor infotainment issues, has been a fine running vehicle for the last 2 and half years.
@@jonathanwilliam980 I’ve had several midsize trucks and unfortunately, the Canyon was the worst. It was an electrical nightmare. It’s too bad because it was a nice driving truck and good mpg.
I got a Tacoma in 2020. I got to say it's been flawless. When I was looking to buy the Frontier was still the very old version from 2003. Had the new one been out I would have looked at it. Nor regrets with the Toyota
BIAS: I own a 2023 Hyundai SC Limited. It seems the title of this content is incorrect - should be the “Top 5 mid-sized trucks of 2022”. ED | Normally solid content.
Who in their right mind gives J.D. Power any credence? Simply paid-for opinions so manufacturers can get the report they desire. Consumer Reports are not much better, frequently repeating others' opinions. Yes to Car & Driver, Edmunds & Kelly Blue Book, and those You Tubers who actually get out and test drive before giving opinions. Pickups, should work as such, not be glorified unibody cars without a frame, having a litany of confusing bells and buttons. A tiny un-usable box smaller than a 60's station wagon added to a unibody car does not make some of these pickups! Hats off to Toyota and Nissan for remembering these are pickup trucks designed for towing and hauling.
Everyman driver that doesn't actually do the driving, and just regurgitates statements from other reviewers. I prefer channels that actually review the vehicles they're commenting on instead of using someone else's reviews.
Trucks to avoid?? You just listed the entire midsize truck market (if not the majority). Sooo... we should avoid the entire midsize truck market altogether?? Good video but the title is misleading at best.
Well I have the frontier and I can tell you the people who rated it don't drive trucks. It was the only pickup I saw on the list, the rest were toys or station wagons without the hatch. Oh I forgot the double entry from GMC/Chevy.
Consumer Reports is a joke. I have always bought American trash according to CR and had awesome results. JD Powers is at least some what fair in there assessment of American products.
Looking at the maverick I thought it was the stupidest vehicle from ford, butbthen I thought, not everyone needs a huge truck that can hall 15,000 pound trailer or carry a payload of 5,000 pounds, some people just need a little car with the utility of a truck
They pretty much all suck. The Santa Cruz styling may be cool but it just looks like a bloated swollen up oversized sedan. They should have based it off the Santa Fe or the Palisade instead of the Tucson. Most of these trucks have really poor quality carpet.
This video and title are a hot mess.....A list of vehicles and regurgitation of crap that you see from the "critics". Is this list in ascending or descending order? Sounds like he read the Pros and Cons right out of Car and Driver or something. Is there a midsize truck mentioned that shouldn't be avoided? I think he listed every one they make, lol. I subscribe to a lot of car and truck channels. This won't be one of them. Tough titties is right.
JD power is pointless, in my opinion. They hand out their participation trophies for things like highest in initial quality. All new vehicles should have high quality if they're brand new
Video title was "Mid sized trucks to avoid". He pretty much listed all the mid sized trucks available, so I am still trying to figure out which trucks to not avoid and then he didn't rank them, but he said he did. I now know what TH-cam channel to avoid.
My thoughts exactly…
I was thinking the exact same thing!!
Either this video was poorly labeled or the title was designed to be Clickbait.
Oh you can get the ranger apparently. Only one he didn’t list I think. Probably the worst one.
Totally wrong. Do not waste time in this channel
@@jordangraf673 It’s definitely not the worst one. You’ve got to be kidding me
Honestly, when a vehicle is given a con just because it lacks certain electronics and safety features, I have to laugh. How did all decades before 2020 survive without these features? Lol.
Lol RIGHT!!!!!…..my first car was a 86 Toyota MR2 5 speed manual . Didn’t have none of this equipment and yet I still survived. I just paid attention while I was driving.
@@carsonhoover5767 '05 Sebring (2.4l i4, 4-speed auto, fwd) with 151k miles. Bought back in '08 and I still have it. The only electronic "accessories" she has is power doors and locks and an aftermarket remote start, works for me. :)
@@Kingswood7189 I think the simplest the better. All these new gadgets are more of a distraction then anything. Or maybe it’s just me becoming older.
@@carsonhoover5767 agreed, and they're more distractions than anything else (and another way to make a vehicle more expensive). I don't need a backup camera to back into my driveway, neither lane assistance to tell me someone's in the other lane...
Agreed. I think there would be a solid market for a more basic truck with rubber floors and Naugahyde seats. Carpeted floors just hold mud a dog fur. And who the hell walks around inside their truck in bare feet? I want good power, four wheel drive or AWD. I do not need a sun roof or numerous electronic gizmos. But car manufacturers learned. While back that they couldn’t sell us more vehicles, but they could sell us more vehicle.
After reading all these reviews. Sounds like the Nissan Frontier is a pretty good truck. I believe the owners more than the critics on any of these vehicles. 🤔
I had an 06, only ever did brakes/oil/coolant.
I gave that one to dad and bought a 2017. Love it and expect 15 years out of this one too.
The reviews on the updated frontier are excellent from what I’ve seen.
Here's the truth most people ignore. Each one of those trucks is perfect for someone's daily existence
Exactly.
I bought a 2022 pro-4X and love it. I test drove the Rangers, colorado/canyon, and Tacoma. I ended up with the Nissan. I like the fact that Nissan is selling a truck not a giant computer on wheels. The interior is way better than the rest the infotainment system works great. I've used it at our family farm and it did great off road. (I had to go through a creek with a pretty steep incline and had no issues with ground clearance). I think alot of these TH-camrs are payed off by these other car companies. The frontier has everything I wanted and need at a good price point.
Enough said!
Had a 2007 that hadn’t had single problem. Great truck. Congrats on your purchase! 👍🏻
For the money Nissan frontier.
Had a 1999 and 20067 both great. had a 1995 Tacoma and that was fine also but id not pay more $$ for it then the Nissan.@@hmitch74
i have had the same experience with my 2022 Frontier S King Cab 4x4.
The Nissan Frontier is the better overall truck in my opinion. I got the Pro4X in Dec. 2021 and it has been fantastic. Plenty of power and luxury. The SV with the premium package replaced the SL. I drove all the vehicles except the Maverick and the Santa Cruz and none of them drive as well as the Frontier. My Frontier is the perfect midsize for me.

I bought a Nissan pro 4x in November been a outstanding truck so far.. running the shale washboard roads of Montana everyday this vehicle takes no prisoners ! I have been avg 20.7 mpg on reg not bad for a truck that weighs close to 4600 lbs.
Same mileage with my 2020
Same here this guy is a clown
Does it still turn like a school bus
@@bobafatt2155 😆 I wish there were a perfect truck! But there’s not.
@@floydlarken3148 so , that’s a yes ?
I still luv my 2022 boulder gray Nissan Frontier 4x smooth and quite inside with 20mpg average
Ohhhh You're the guy who bought one 🤣
Tacoma will get 22MPG all day.
I’m very pleased with my 2022 Frontier Kingcab. Excellent drive and I have no problem getting 20+ mpg.
I’ll still take the Frontier.
It must run on snails and the horse power must be frog legs cause it’s a frenchy car with Renault looks. In France they call it the Alaskan which is just a Frontier that wasn’t built by dumb hillbillies in the fattest and poorest state in America (Mississippi)
No doubt, the frontier is a nice truck. The one I drove was a 4X PRO, and I really liked it. I was close to buying it. But after I saw the trunk in the Ridgeline the new design of the 2022 and the ride, I was hooked. That worked for me, but we all have different needs, so you do you.
At 60,000 miles let me know if you recommend someone buying this vehicle and about ask you would you buy it again no you’ll see everyone’s right they’re still not quality built like super run whatever Toyota I mean
@@u.s.marine6430 😂😂😂😂
@@iLikeTigerz101 not sure what you're trying say but the 310 horse v6 mated to the 9 speed automatic is awesome.
Consumer Reports rating of the Tacoma is simply laughable. Seriously, it's so off the mark you just have to wonder what their motive is? I stopped renewing my membership simply because I can't tell if they are trustworthy source anymore.
In my opinion I would rank the New frontier pro 4X is number one. I just bought one about 2 months ago and absolutely love it. I did a ton of research on all of the midsize pickups before making any decisions. I will say though that I might have had some bias as my vehicle it replaced is a 2007 Nissan Xterra which I loved dearly and actually decided to keep it as a winter vehicle. When looking for vehicles I really would have loved to see a brand new 2022 Nissan Xterra redesign but the frontier is a beauty the engine feels great the infotainment system is really nice I don't find it cluttered at all. Seats are super comfortable driving position is really good and adjustable. The only cons that I can see some people not liking is the hydraulic steering instead of electric and the amount of leg room in the rear. Other than that though I really can't see why anybody wouldn't like this truck.
Congrats! I Just bought a Pro4x last week and I was supposed to get a Tacoma the same day, but after driving it I wasn’t excited or nothing not even by the interior, then I remembered the Frontier had gotten redesigned and as soon as I saw it I’m like this is the one and took it for a test drive I knew I was gonna get it. Love it so far!
I have a 2014 frontier and I love it
Yeah, overall frontier is number 1 for me I have 2022 proX in white! But I will agree the steering needs to be Electric Power steering but that is coming from someone that had a GMC Canyon with real smooth steering.
Seems like Nissan didn't pay the KBB and JD mafia.
I love my 2013 Nissan Frontier . This guy can go suck his own tity
What I gather from this video is that Jeep and Nissan weren't willing to sweeten the pot for better reviews from these questionable "experts".
I got a 2022 pro4x in white. Had this truck for 5 months now with no problems. Really love this truck,it performs great!
frontier # 1 here, unrivaled reliability looks sweet 2
Bought my first Nissan frontier . Test drove most midsized trucks and that was the best value I could find. Glad I did as it’s a really great vehicle
Bought the Ridgeline Sport 2022 , it was really hard to find, drove 6 hours to get but it was worth it.
Drove 4hrs to buy mine
I purchased my 2022 Ridgeline touring in December. $1000 off MSRP, and a 9 minute drive. Didn’t even have to stop for snacks.👍🇨🇦
I will say again , nissan pro 4x got a low rate , every person I’ve talked to that owns this truck loves it. Not one person said anything bad. I’m a Tacoma guy, but will be changing to nissan . Think Nissan company just needs to kick up some payola to right people to get better ratings. Unfortunately it’s the American way.
My 2020 Ridgeline Sport is plenty of truck for what I need lots of storage gets me off road enough in the dirt since I’m not a big time mudder and it tows my camper. I can get 27 to 28 mpg on the highway and carry my canoe. Very comfortable ride.
I'm avoiding the Ford Maverick like a plague right now due to first generation production jitters. Every Ford Maverick our local Ford dealer has sold has come back for warranty work ranging from cracked wheels all the way to needing engine replacements. Most common issue is interior rattles.
Sounds like their Bronco issue too!
Good to know. It was on my list of possibilities for pulling my kayak trailer, but I guess I need to look elsewhere
It's a ford. What else would be expected. I personally am not brand loyal to any brand. I will consider anything, but a ford.
That's with any ford
i considered it but i've read that the hybrid braking can be particularly 'jerky' when trying to come to a slow stop (i.e., you can't)
I love my Nissan frontier
The Hyundai looks like the old Subaru brat.
I’m thinking a modern Subaru brat;)
............but does it have the rear jump seats??😉🤘🏻🤘🏻
Pretty sure these rankings are baked. Who paid the most to be on that list?
Frontier is the best midsize truck easily. Whoever ranks these knows nothing.
Total obvious copy cat of the Tacoma and good luck with a first gen Nissan engine.
@@scottvamp I have a 2019 Tacoma. Slowest thing on the road and needed a new rear end diff at 25,000 miles. The 3.5L is a joke of an engine.
@@scottvamp Engine/ trans have been in their Frontiers for 2yrs now. The 2020/2021 models were used to test mule the drivetrain for the 2022, and just like the old 4.0 it's been a solid engine.
@@scottvamp until you drive one.. nothing the same.. Frontier hands down.. go drive them back to back..
I've been driving a 2007 Nissan Frontier since, well 2007 when I bought it new. A month and a half ago I bought the new 2022 Frontier and I LOVE IT!
Kudos on your new truck purchase. I love my 2022 Nissan Frontier. Solid truck for the money.
I bought the Nissan pro4x. The engine is what a V6 in a midsize should feel and sound like. It looks amazing inside and out. I got the green one without the leather seats. I just prefer the orange trim which is not available with leather. The infotainment system is millions of lightyears better than any other in the segment… period. The quality of the screen and image is superior and the screen size is larger than most. I terms of mpg… I’ve been hitting the highway and it’s done 27mpg and 20-22 mpg in the city. The wheel is just amazing, it feels just the right amount of heavy to really get that trucky feeling. Nissan is always an underdog in this segment but somehow is one of the most durable. I still see around older models from early 2000’s. Plus is AMERICAN 🇺🇸.
27mpg? Isn't it rated 21?
@@Alexandroidd on highway it has done from 25 to 27 being the best so far. City is between 19-22 mpg. It is new so let’s see how it does in the long run. So far even though gas prices are off the charts I can’t complain tbh.
I’m averaging 24 MPGs in my Pro X in combined driving and the truck isn’t even broken in yet. Things also built like a tank. Reminds me of the way German cars used to be made.
Love the new frontier! Speaking of older, Friend has a 16' with 187k. No real problems engine or tranny. Blackstone oil analysis shows great numbers on both and very little if any wear by the engine. Rock solid!!
Lol, "tough titties," eh? Personal hands-on testing trumps the reviewers, so tough titties back at you. Also, that misleading clickbait title. I test drove all of these except for the Hyundai and the Maverick. I actually ordered a Maverick Lariat FX4 in mid-December of 2021, loaded with everything. It is now September 4, 2022, and it still hasn't gone to the assembly line. I need a truck, and out of all I tested, the 2022 Ranger Lariat FX4 (fully loaded) impressed me the most. I bought one in Cactus Gray with the blackout package. Yeah, it's a bit bouncy on the pavement if you compare it to an SUV or sedan, but so was my old half-ton truck. But my Ranger is really comfortable. Off-road, it really shines. I was a little disappointed with the gas mileage at first, but now that it is broken in, I'm getting an average of 23 MPG, in combined city and mountain highway driving. I'm happy with that. I'm also happy with the awesome power and torque of that little 4-cylinder turbo engine. I just love my Ranger. I've decided that if the Maverick ever gets delivered, I'll re-sell it.
Looks like the Frontier is the one to buy
The sells of the new Frontier shows nothing he says is accurate. I love my 2022 Nissan Frontier SV 4x4 long bed with no complaints what so ever.

His review of the new Frontier was BS. I have owned my 2022 Nissan Frontier PRO4X for almost a year and I have no complaints with the truck. Nice smooth ride and the interior finishes suit my needs.
New Frontier is a great truck. Bought the Pro 4x end of last year and it rides nice. I’m hoping I will love this truck as much as the 1st generation 2006 Honda Ridgeline I used to drive.
The majority of reviews I’ve seen mention heavy steering. What’s your experience/opinion?
@@jaus1701 Don’t think it’s heavy at all. I drove a Taco and a Ranger before settling on the Frontier and they were heavier.
@@davidsavage8957 i like toyotas nissans were known for bad transmissions hopefully they fixed that
@@Randy-lf2dp The trans are good now. Just had a Tacoma for a rental that had a few hundred miles on it and the cheap plastic is horrible. The Tacoma needs the 4.0L engine. The 3.5 just feels sluggish when on road. The cab is also really horrible for tall people. I'm waiting to see how Toyota screws up the next gen 4Runner before I get my next vehicle.
@@robertmisiuk7137 I liked my 2006 Tundra better than my new 2022 tacoma I just use it to go back and forth to work and maybe get a couple things from the Home Depot that's about it otherwise my wife's Camry does really good
The biggest misconception with trucks, is that everyone uses them for the same thing. If we did, we wouldn't have mini-trucks and the F 400 and 500 series trucks, and everything inbetween.
The hate that the Ridgeline gets is stupid. I drove a Ridgeline when I worked for Honda Canada, and thought it was great. The AWD system and VTM-4 made it so I NEVER got stuck, in mud, snow or anything else. The Ridgeline also out-performed a lot of Jeeps at a Jamboree, due to the way the drive system worked...I always had a tire on the ground and with quality BFG's it was fantastic. The argument that it had a funny shape and couldn't carry a camper was ridiculous; neither can the Avalanche and neither can most 1/2 tonne trucks.
The new Ranger is great, and the Tacoma just keeps on going, though in both cases, the lack of diesel engines here in North America, gives us significantly less payload capabilities than the same trucks in the UK for instance; with the diesel you get an upgraded suspension and brakes. Obviously with the lack of full-sized trucks in the UK and Europe, having the mid-sized with improved ability is a necessity we just won't find here.
If the Maverick or Ridgline works for a retired couple or family who need to do a recycling run weekly, go to the Home Depot or garden nursery, or fly-fishing on a Sunday afternoon...that is great.
If someone is out there saying that the only truck is a one-tonne, lifted, chipped, and belching smoke on seven foot tires, then I would recommend therapy to overcome the smaller than average penis, and recognize that stock Land Rovers have explored the world, every inch of it without a lift kit, chip, and a mortgage worth of add-ons.
great
OUCH !
You just made me make my mind up on The Ridgeline; I’m sold. Like seriously how is not being able to tow the same amount as a Ford or Tacoma considered a “con” lol
2022 frontier is the best truck out there in its class
I went with the Ridgeline lol. I liked the features and interior ergonomics. I just tow a Jet Ski and occasional runs to Home Depot, taking junk to the dump, or picking up a large item like a TV, furniture, appliance, etc.. I like that it's not too big or too small, it's just right for me!
I can't decide between the Ridgeline and Maverick. There's like maybe 5-6k difference in price in the trims I want. I've always had Hondas..which is good and bad I guess.
@@paulnewhart4838 - The Ridgeline is better, I'd rather pay more and get the better and more comfortable vehicle...

@@e5m956 I went with the Ridgeline. Found a dealer that wasn't marking up the MSRP.

I’ve been driving some sort of Frontier since 2007. Frontier’s are all I drive. I’ve had one with about 160,000 miles. Aside from breaks and normal maintenance. They have never been in a shop for mechanical problems. They are an absolute work horse. That’s why I keep buying them.
I've had all 3 generations of the Tacoma including my 2017 since Aug 2016. All have been great. 85K and still on original brakes no mechanical/reliability issues. That reliability and off-road ability keep me coming back but I would seriously consider the Nissan Frontier and the Ranger has much more interior room but worry about how long those turbos would last...
Yota will look, feel and sound the same from day one to 300k miles later. I just can not come up with the 45k to buy one
I’m coming from a Tacoma and I love the frontier pro 4x that I recently bought. More head room and comfort over all than the Tacoma in my opinion. Also no turbo, 3.8 liter v-6
Kind of think the company that rate these trucks do so by how much pay from said company gifts to them.
FRONTIER LAST PLACE . BUT THE ENGINE WILL PROBABLY BEAT EVERY OTHER TRUCK BUT TOYOTA AND HONDA. FOR SURE SO THIS RATINGS ARE TRASH
Well here I go dismantling this video. 1 none of these trucks are obtainable for the mentioned cost. 2.hondas Ridgeline has the cheapest looking interior of them all.
3. Colorado has the second worst interior, where all your time is spent sitting. Power is weak
4. Toyota has the cheapest made body and panels but does have reliable engines but lack power.
5. Nissan Frontier by far the best built best interior and best ride handle and comfort along with best display in any truck. The pro4x is a class by its self. Top dog pick
6. The jeep truck. 30 years ago this ugly creature arrived , called the scrambler and it died as quick as this ugly arrival will. Interior is well short of a truck, just a jeep really. Who cares, it's gross looking and isn't all that dependable.
7. Bottom line is every single order and rating this video gave was dead wrong and way off or reality.
8. Nissan top dog
9. Toyota 2nd dog
10. The rest, well don't bother. You'll be real disappointed in them
Thx
Update....I just pulled for the first time a 21 foot sea ray with the Toyota, Colorado, the Honda, and finally my nissan pro4x and I definitely made the right choice. Out powered them all. Toyota came jn second but lacked the brute of the Nissan. The others, well far short of the power it seemed. They struggled bad. Also update the pro4x has a better equipped interior over the titan which I found odd. Seems the bigger would be better equipped. I mean who doesn't like bells and whistles right. All mid size trucks I checked out were in thier own rights nice. All rode well toyota, Colorado, canyon, Honda. Just weren't overall the best choice for what I was looking for. But the mid size truck market has picked up the game for sure. Move over big trucks
The Frontier is a very nice truck. I have the 2020 Ranger and love it. Ranger Raptor time.
I have a 2022 Nissan Frontier King cab SV trim with a 6-foot bed and love it. The 3.8 Liter is strong. Has an electric driver seat with electric mirrors. Apple and Android play. Big 8-inch touch screen. Avg city mileage is 24. Can tow up to 6720 lbs.
Just another motormouth that can’t articulate anything technical and can’t change a spare.
So, you based your video on what others had to say and not personally driving each one.
Very in accurate and misleading title to this video. This is not a list of midsize trucks to avoid. This is a list of midsize trucks and their features/scores. Why not make the title match what the video actually shows????
so basically avoid all the midsize trucks?so pathetic!🤡🤡🤡
I bought the Nissan Frontier pro 4 X. Really wanted the Tacoma but made in Mexico so that’s out
They're made at the Baja plant that has been assembling Toyotas for years to the world market. I have a 2021 Tacoma built in Baja. No problems at all.
My point is I want to pay US workers
Loving my Nissan frontier pro 4x. Coming from a Tacoma TRD off-road, it’s much more comfortable and is equally as capable. My plan was a TRD pro Tacoma, but at 55k, I couldn’t justify it. Put a small lift and some 33’s on the frontier and I’d imagine it would give a TRD pro a good run for its money.
You used five sources, so in other words you never put your hands on these vehicles? Lol You just went off of what someone else said, and the first couple trucks you only had a few of the sources to go on?
Traditionally everybody knows who knows trucks that Edmunds, Kelley Blue book and JD power stroke Honda hard. The fridge line is the most dated looking of the trucks nice 1995 styling, It can't do anything the other trucks can do including towing payload and off-roading, but they gave it crazy high marks? Check out the number of Honda advertisements in some of their magazines.... You get a better idea of how Honda executives influence these review magazines, It has a reliable motor that doesn't get good fuel economy.... And is ridiculously high priced for the base trim levels. Where do I sign!?! (Sarcasm intended) Honda fan boys are almost as bad as trekkies.
If this is the only video I needed to watch then I just might as well watch someone else's, at least they put their hands on the vehicles.
Bought a Ranger last year and she's barely at 5500 Miles and I absolutely love her! Tall and drives nice and smooth, also picks up speed fast too. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
Wait until your turbo starts to leak oil. I would of bought the Tacoma. Toyota also has better resale value.
I drove the ranger for a couple of months and fell in love with it so much room in the back the handling was great just loved it
But yes it is the turbo and all the electronics that is stopping me from buying one
@@jaysmith179 I don't like Toyota and I don't buy my cars to sell them later on.
Yeah, this clown who made the video has no clue what he is talking about.
I had a 16 GMC Canyon. At 22,000km the bushings on the suspension went, never seen a dirt road it was a city truck and driven slowly. At 28,000km the infotainment head unit crapped out, was replaced under warranty. At 36,000km the rear taillight kept shorting out and the bulb was melting into the socket. Gm couldn’t fix this problem and it persisted until I got rid of the truck. Around 36,000km the 4x4 system wouldn’t engage or disengage in cold weather. Gm couldn’t fix this either meaning I had to leave it in 4x4 just to ensure I had it when I needed it… finally at 44,000km the engine started to burn oil and was blowing oil out of the exhaust. The engine needed to be replaced, and the head unit failed a second time. With all the problems on the vehicle, I went to Amvic filed a complaint and gm bought the truck back under lemon law. What a hunk of junk. My buddies on his third frontier all three have gotten him to 250k km plus and he just trades them for newer ones with no issues
freinds dont let friends buy Chevys... bummer to hear that man thats probably a rare case but I've had issues with any gm car I drove even for a short sprint lol. Just bought my 2022 Pro 4X a few days ago I am loving it! Frontier owners may be easy to please and im ok with that but its sooo mucb bwtter than my 2016, but my 16 was a base model with the v6 and 2wd but its been flawless for 130,000 miles outstanding truck and this new one feels leaps and bounds more quality built.
@@AsianPersuation24x7 yeah I’m working on a deal for a 14 xterra it’s super clean for my second vehicle. A lot of the issues I had with my canyon I found forums of others on Reddit with similar issues. Most of them traded their vehicles away and never got a permanent fix for the 4x4 not working in cold weather. I’ve always found the frontiers to have such a big turning radius as the only real downside to owning one. I don’t know if that’s rectified on the new models or not, but my buddy loves his and aside from 2 being write offs in accidents they all had high mileage and never cost him anything in regards to serious or weird maintenance repairs.
You’re absolutely right the 16 was horrible 17 they went with a great motor understand I had a buddy that butter 16 a joke I laughed at it when I wrote in it anyhow you might never know until you can’t blame anybody but it was a piece of junk in the first place 15 was not much better
@@austinlibby7025 it’s not often the dealership buys back a vehicle but Amvic inspected the truck and said there’s so many problems with it it would cost more than the vehicle is worth to try and fix all of them.

My buddy has a 18 Silverado with the 5.3l in it and the transmission grenaded at 43,000km. Fingers crossed my 07 doesn’t.
I'll stick with my 1970 ford ranger
Love my new 2022 Frontier.
I’ll allow that the Ranger was dated when we got it in America, but that’s because the rest of the world had it for years, and I feel like the bugs were worked out because of that. I’ve had mine for 2 years, and I’ve never had a problem with it. *edit I know the engine and transmission are different in the North American market. But I’m 46,000 miles in, and it’s doing great.
@James SS kind of the same thing here. When I bought mine, it was one of 3 left on the lot. Though, at this point, I’d say that literally anything that comes off of the hauler is normally sold pretty quickly given the scarcity of everything.

I think the Ranger has the best powertrain for US midsize trucks.
I'm confused. Title says trucks to avoid.
I was able to walk away from a red light runner front impact crash in my 2017 Tacoma with 30,000 miles. Yes, I will be getting a 2022 Tacoma once the other drivers insurance pays out.
Glad you were ok In That accident. God is good!! I love the tacomas too. They are built to last!
Glad you didn’t get hurt! Hope the other driver was okay too.
I would not call the Maverick or the SantaFe, midsized trucks. They look like small trucks.

April fools? Doesn’t make sense. Buying the worst truck on your list.
The Nissan Frontier was the best mid size truck in this line up in my opinion.

Bought the new ranger last year. 14k miles and I’ve enjoyed every one. No complaints at all. The drivetrain is just awesome
@Disposable Dad great for highway. I’m not gonna lie and say it’s like driving a luxury car and floating on a cloud. It’s a truck and it drives like one. It’s more comfortable than the Tacoma I tested. I’m 6’2” and it’s fine for me
If I was buying one of these it would be the Nissan. Price and what you get for it seems to be the best.
I just received a new 2022 Tacoma on 3/3. I have owned 4 Toyota small trucks since 1984 including the new 22 model. In total I have had to replace two mechanical parts, a water pump, and an A/C compressor. No tows, and only two non-starts due to batteries. People can say what they want, but they are tough, durable, and reliable. Yes, they are less powered than most of its competition, and they don't have all the frills. You know, very things that break the most. Instead, Toyota focuses on refining the detail that makes them reliable. Tacoma's do some things great, and others only extremely well. But rest assured, that if you maintain it, it will provide you with a life long ride, on road, and off. FYI, my 2022 is getting 21.5 - 23.5 combined mpg
People commenting on here disregarding the king Tacoma. There’s a reason why Toyota just sold out sold every car manufacturer in the US;) My 2021 TRD is amazing!!!
My 2016 Tacoma V6 is outstanding too. 80k trouble free miles so far
I get same mileage as you have
Reliability wise, it's a great pick up... but that's about it.
Consumers have spoken.
Ordered fully loaded Nissan Pro4X.
Looked at all the others. No comparison.
I wouldn’t consider myself a frontier lover. Had Ford up to this point.
Just felt it was the best of what I looked at. Ranger, Canyon, Colorado, and the Frontier.
How many miles on it now and hows it held up? Do you still like it?
I purchased a new 2016 Canyon that had intermittent electrical problems. At times, the windows, heated seats, heater blower, and wipers wouldn’t work, and the 4WD wouldn’t engage. Also, the stereo would turn on by itself or the screen would go blank. I sold it back to GM and purchased a Tacoma.
That sounds like a defected model
@@lauragrace3270 Yeah, I’m sure it was. I have a 2021 ZR2 now, Besides an issue that’s was covered under warranty, it’s been flawless.
I rented a new Tacoma last year and didn't like it, not a good highway truck ... so I am wondering why do they sell so many ? I think the Ridgeline is a much better truck than the Tacoma for highway cruising, comfort and features.

I work at a Honda dealership. Expect much expensive maintenance. V6 Honda is belt driven vrs Toyota has chain. Overall longevity Toyota will be less maintenance.
Several articles I’ve read on the new Frontier are very favorable as well as some other TH-camrs like TFLTruck and most recently Kirk Kreifels who is a huge Toyota fan but said the Frontier feels less “tinny” than the Tacoma. As for the Maverick, Santa Cruz, and Ridgeline those are kinda a different thing, and at least for me a big “No Thanks”.
Ridgeline is the best midsize
@@MeltingRubberZ28 Ridgeline is the best midsize for 80-90% of what people actually use midsize pickups for. For people who actually go hardcore off-roading/adventuring, body on frame is obviously the choice, but the Ridgeline will surprise with its capabilites and will suffice in light off-roading situations. And if you're seriously worried about tow ratings, then you're shopping in the wrong segment. A full size truck is what you want.
The headline says, mid-size trucks to avoid, and then names all the mid-size trucks.
Nissan Frontier is 10x better option than Over priced Taco and less than reliable GM products. Ford would be the only other option worth buying.
😂🤣😂
I can't think of any midsize truck that exists that wasn't covered in this video.
And, the Maverick isn't midsize, it's a compact.
I bought a 2022 Nissan Frontier, albeit only the S model. I had a 2015 Chevy Colorado before that. It's not really fair to compare the two, but I will say the Colorado felt more solidly built and durable. However, the Frontier's engine power is impressive; it also handles bumps much better than my Colorado did. The brakes are top notch, and the interior is considerably quieter as well. I guess time will tell if my Frontier was a good replacement for my Colorado, but I did get a good seven years out of it without any major mechanical issues.
You bought the best of all mid size trucks on the market. The pro4x is a beast in all departments especially interior where it was rated weak. Easy to rate when you actually sit in all of them before making that purchase. I to bought the pro4x due to what I gathered in test drives and actual visual and tried out test drives. By far the best mid size vehicle. Great choice
Frontier has always been an underdog. I love them, but I hate Nissan for other super crappy vehicles. I have a 2014 Colorado but the engine had to be rebuilt right at 125k miles. Coulnd't handle a working life due to a terrible design on the engine itself.
I wanna buy a new truck, but I find myself looking between the Colorado, Tacoma and Frontier. I want the top dog. Pro4x V6, ZR" or TRD pro. Up to now, the colorado offers a Front Locker, Tacoma has great reputation and great aftermarket support and Frontier seems like it is a better working and highway truck, but lacks both advantages from the other 2 trucks. Any thoughts on that?
The frame of the new frontier is an evolution of the old platform, which is very solid and also in use on the Pathfinder and Xterra, I can all but guarantee the new one will be solid too.
At age 74, I have owned two Nissan pickups and one tundra. All three were problem free. 200k mile clubs all tree. I am waiting for 2023 models now. My criteria, in order, are safety features then freeway comfort, and finally utility. Price figures only after I decided on trim. Example for safety is getting alerts when backing up at Costco. Example for comfort is back support when on the freeway. I welcome your comments.
I bought a 2022 ridgeline black edition. I was looking for a midsize comfortable midsize truck for road-trips best choice I made. Not to small not to big a lot of storage space best truck for road-trip cross country
Dude what was that yellow truck next to you at the end
Bronco Sport
Avoid all gas mileage sucks on every truck gas prices 4 to 5 dollars gallon
I bought a 2022 ranger black edition and couldn’t be happier with it. Loaded with all the safety features and rides like a dream. Lots of seat room in the back as well and has more than enough power. Easy for my wife to drive as well and easier to park. I had a 2012 f 150 4x4 and like this even better. My friend down the street says he likes it better than his 2022 Nissan Frontier which both of us were even lucky enough to get because of the shortages. My ranking would be
Ranger, Ridgeline, Frontier, Tacoma.....

For my preference, my ranking would be Ranger, Frontier, Ridgeline, Tacoma. Both my wife and I love driving our 2022 Ranger.
Pretty big fan of the '22 Nissan Frontier with the naturally aspirated V6 engine - Nissan Frontier may be under rated, appreciated? I will say, they can keep their Tacoma with the 4cyl turbo with the nut numbing high price tag.
I traded my 28,000 mile colorado off for a new Frontier. The colorado lived at the chevy garage, In 5 times for the 8 speed trans then the 3.6 motor started to knock when started. GM crap, ever again.

@@everymandriver Give it a rest! Same reply to every viewer comment.
I am so glad I walked away from an almost sale of a Colorado yesterday.
2022, Z71 Gray. Looked nice, that was ALL. Ride was just ok.
I am so glad they would not give me what I wanted for a 2013 Silverado with 97k on it. That was our second day test driving it, & something just kept telling me no... walk away... walk away.
What got me is the terrible air conditioning. That thing would not cool after 10 miles. Red Flag!!!
No one Raves about a Colorado.
No one carries on about how much they love it, and how great it is.
No one. I will never walk into Serpentini Strongsville Ohio again.
Very juvenile atmosphere!!!
Stupid large screen with nothing but ridiculous advertising crap.
Has such a low-class feel to it.
Can't believe they have a snack bar area on their main showroom and all it has, is clutter inside it. Storage area. LMFAO!!!
I was so thankful and glad I did not buy that today. Nothing like that gut feeling.
Then I read this!!!
WOW! Sorry for your terrible loss and troubles.
This video was not so great.
Change the title dude. Seems many people agree on that.
When time for me to get a truck I chose the GMC extended cab with long bed. It's a truck and that's what served me. For better price point was tempted by the smaller engine but got the V6 and am glad I did. Nothing fancy or fashion forward but plan to drive it for years to come.
He said midsized trucks to avoid? All he did was give some pros and cons on all available midsized trucks. So do you avoid all of the trucks he talked about. No such vehicle is perfect they all have some issues and all break down at some point. If you listen to everyone who thinks they are experts and maybe not owned any of the trucks mentioned you will never buy a vehicle. Just buy what you like and enjoy it! I own a 2021 Ridgeline touring edition and I love it. 90 percent of people who buy a truck use it for work or weekend yard work or going to home depot. The rest of 10 percent use their trucks for towing all the time and go off reading.
I have 2018 canyon has been in the shop twice for electrical issues. This all happened three weeks after it went out of warranty.
I had a 2016 that was an electrical nightmare. I sold it back to GM and purchased a Tacoma.
The Ford truck looks really good and it's a good gas mileage truck good price too affordable that's what we need in America not all that fancy stuff like those city folks country folks need style off-road for farm and get the job fun mud

You said ranger tows a lot it maxed at 3500 and Ridgeline which you slammed its towing can do 5000 check your facts loss my trust.
Oh no, I lost your trust?!
@@everymandriver your lying to your viewers
My 2022 Ranger maxes at 7500 lbs. You have to get the $400 tow package to achieve that much capacity.
My 2019 GMC Canyon SL with the Eaton manual Transmission and the 4 cylinder, minus some minor infotainment issues, has been a fine running vehicle for the last 2 and half years.
I got a 2022 canyon elevation it’s great I swear people only talk bad about canyons because they can’t afford one
@@jonathanwilliam980 I’ve had several midsize trucks and unfortunately, the Canyon was the worst. It was an electrical nightmare. It’s too bad because it was a nice driving truck and good mpg.
@@triviaworldopolis3362 yeah cuz you had an old canyon the 2010 one clown 🤡
@@lauragrace3270 Actually, it was a 2016 that I purchased new.
The Ranger will smoke all of these trucks, easy in a race!
who cares about kbb and jd power
Sounds like you don't LOL
I got a Tacoma in 2020. I got to say it's been flawless. When I was looking to buy the Frontier was still the very old version from 2003. Had the new one been out I would have looked at it. Nor regrets with the Toyota
The Tacoma is the best choice of all these trucks. The build quality is superb and these trucks have proved their worth all around the world.
Love my 2021 Tacoma also.
BIAS: I own a 2023 Hyundai SC Limited. It seems the title of this content is incorrect - should be the “Top 5 mid-sized trucks of 2022”. ED | Normally solid content.
Who in their right mind gives J.D. Power any credence? Simply paid-for opinions so manufacturers can get the report they desire. Consumer Reports are not much better, frequently repeating others' opinions. Yes to Car & Driver, Edmunds & Kelly Blue Book, and those You Tubers who actually get out and test drive before giving opinions. Pickups, should work as such, not be glorified unibody cars without a frame, having a litany of confusing bells and buttons. A tiny un-usable box smaller than a 60's station wagon added to a unibody car does not make some of these pickups! Hats off to Toyota and Nissan for remembering these are pickup trucks designed for towing and hauling.
JD power and Consumer Reports are not reporting truthfully.
Everyman driver that doesn't actually do the driving, and just regurgitates statements from other reviewers. I prefer channels that actually review the vehicles they're commenting on instead of using someone else's reviews.
I thought the reviews were fine but where exactly in this video did you tell us what Midsize Trucks to Avoid in 2022?
Trucks to avoid??
You just listed the entire midsize truck market (if not the majority).
Sooo... we should avoid the entire midsize truck market altogether??
Good video but the title is misleading at best.
The hybrid Maverick not having optional 4x4 is the dumbest thing Ford has done so far. The f150 hybrid has this figured out at least.
Well I have the frontier and I can tell you the people who rated it don't drive trucks. It was the only pickup I saw on the list, the rest were toys or station wagons without the hatch. Oh I forgot the double entry from GMC/Chevy.
Consumer Reports is a joke. I have always bought American trash according to CR and had awesome results. JD Powers is at least some what fair in there assessment of American products.
Looking at the maverick I thought it was the stupidest vehicle from ford, butbthen I thought, not everyone needs a huge truck that can hall 15,000 pound trailer or carry a payload of 5,000 pounds, some people just need a little car with the utility of a truck
They pretty much all suck. The Santa Cruz styling may be cool but it just looks like a bloated swollen up oversized sedan. They should have based it off the Santa Fe or the Palisade instead of the Tucson. Most of these trucks have really poor quality carpet.
This video and title are a hot mess.....A list of vehicles and regurgitation of crap that you see from the "critics". Is this list in ascending or descending order? Sounds like he read the Pros and Cons right out of Car and Driver or something. Is there a midsize truck mentioned that shouldn't be avoided? I think he listed every one they make, lol. I subscribe to a lot of car and truck channels. This won't be one of them. Tough titties is right.
So, if these Midsize Trucks to Avoid, what is there left from Midsize Trucks?
JD power is pointless, in my opinion. They hand out their participation trophies for things like highest in initial quality. All new vehicles should have high quality if they're brand new
