The aggressive tires with the steel wheels is an underrated look in my opinion
For real! Haha. I think they look sick.
@FLTRUCKSTRAVEL are they stock wheels?
@@thomaslehmann5981 yes. Stock 16” wheels that come on the S model Frontiers
@FLTRUCKSTRAVEL love it reminds me of a bad ass 80s toyota.
Old school.
What kind of dipshit needs a camera underneath to drive off road?
My thoughts exactly
I have the SV premium package, for a year too , not problem at all, excellent truck , I’m not that picky like this guy on the video , be grateful of what you have !!!
I love the looks, in reality it's basic, but it looks so clean and badass.
Thanks man. Thanks for watching
Sick truck sir. I have a 2018 Titan P4X that's been great to me since 2018. Almost 50k on her now. Since these new Frontiers have came out, I dig the looks of them. Nice to see a base model given some love. Looks great. I too think its hilarious that ALL manufacturers offer the halogens on the base models. It probably costs them more to have those different parts on hand to make 2 kinds...Purely incentive to pressure you into the next trim line. Can't think of any other reason lol. Cheers man.
You're 100% right.
Alternatively though, lot cheaper to replace a regular bulb than the new LED assemblies and probably safer because people are more inclined to replace them faster. The amount of newer vehicles I see with one side of LED's burned out is nuts
Finally a real review! 👍
Frontier= Crawl ratio 60:1 fully boxed titan frame (ability to titan swap suspension/engine) , Dana 44 locking rear (pro4x) , dana front diff, spicer transfer case, powerful vq motor, rear disc brakes, bullet proof and made in USA. Tacoma= 33:1 crawl ratio, C channel frame (on going corrosion frame recalls) , rear drum brakes, now made in Mexico, reliability declining and Toyota tax.
Just keep an eye on that dana 44. They leak and get water in them on every damn truck that has it. Otherwise its great!
@@paultruesdale7680 57:1 I was off
@@270eman I had the breather extended on mine to prevent this issue.
I did't realize the crawl ratio is that low wow
The more I hear about the frontier the more I am impressed. Just learning about the Titan swap availability.
What a beautiful truck dressed in this nice red and wearing this tires. Congrats. This Frontier lasts a life well maintained.
I love the looks of the olive green colored Nissan Frontiers. The one is was looking at at the dealer had the blk light bar in the bed with led lights. Front end looks well designed and the bed is workable for my needs.
thanks for the 1 year review!
Thanks for watching!
Looks good. I got the Pro a month ago. The slack in the shifter was one of the first things I noticed. But not a big deal. Thanks for the link on the screen protector 😀
Your welcome! Thanks for watching buddy! Hope you subscribed!
DennyMac
PRO...what? PRO-4X? PRO-X?
@@travelinman482 he mentions in the video it’s an s model.
The toughest looking one I've seen .. I love you didn't get all the plastic gimmicks.
Yeah I like to keep it clean. Thanks for watching buddy!
Man! That truck looks awesome! Nice rig bruv!
Thanks man!
Love the look of the steel wheels.
Right!? I love them!
Glad to hear these trucks can still do a Titan Swap.
I liked the color of your truck so much, i went a purchased a 2024 pro4x alert red. Sun roof leather and all options. I love the truck , i will check my shifter lifter 🙂
Ah! I’d love to have a sunroof!
I order the 2023 pro4x frontier and can not wait to get it , love the new body style , also in red to match my wife new 2023 Merano
Great review man and can’t wait to see it in person soon✌️
Next time you head out, let me know. I’ll definitely come along!
@@4wdAdventurz I’ll be at the expo in stark this weekend if your going. I’m meeting up with a few rigs from here then riding out to meet Marc with Five Angels Outdoor.
@@adventureoffroadx I’ll be there!
Review of your added accessories after 1 year . I was looking for a Nissan quality review.
Very nice mods on your truck
Sweet truck, love it.❤
Don't have as many miles as yours, but I really enjoy my Pro-4X. I opted for the KO2s. Have a hard shell and winch mount ordered. Can't wait to get those on. I might get the "Decked" system next spring.
I want a winch mounted soon. KO2's are a great tire. Cant go wrong with those.
Got them, the winch, and a hard shell with a cargo basket. My first adventure is just a few weeks away.
Solid review
Thanks dude!
Surprisingly nice looking truck
What you mean " surprisingly" 🤣
Hey wassup bro I live in Florida too I believe I’ve actually seen your truck on the road before, I drive a 2020 Nissan frontier midnight edition I recognized ur tailgate 🤙🏼
Yoo! You might of! I'm in Ocala area
The shifter knob movement drives me crazy!
I've added the Lasfit Led HEad lamps, fog lamps, and Led inside lights, tonneau cover, steal side steps, weather tech mats interior to my 2022 SV at 33K now with no problem but the same door issue, driver side on mine. Tires and leveling kit are next.
Nice truck , good job !
Thanks Clint!
I've had a long list of random issues with mine. Been in the shop a lot. It's actually there right now.
Damn that sucks
What kind of issues have you been having? Would you recommend the truck?
@State Jake I'd lease one but not buy one for a couple years to work the bugs out. It's at the dealership right now for a brake booster or master cylinder I don't remember. Rear seat won't stay up and dome light. That's just this time
Love ❤ the truck 👍🏾 I’d get fender flares or splash guards 😊 protect that paint 🎨
I think all of the 4x4 models should have come with fender flares from the factory.
@@gregoryhodge9452 Totally agree
Nice truck! Do you plan on keeping it long term? I have a 2020 Pro-4x and just passed 25k miles on her. No major issues, just the parking recall and the TCM update. I want to do a Titan swap too but will wait until I have at least 100k miles.
I’m not sure how long I’ll keep’er. At least another year or so I reckon.
That’s a beautiful truck - tasteful mods and the tires look sick. Would those tires work with the stock height? I’m thinking of getting this truck, and want to keep everything stock, but upgrade the tires
Thanks man! Yes they will! I have the tires installed a week or two before the lift. They will fit just fine. No rubbing.
beautiful truck
Thanks man!
I have the exact same truck. My driver side door catches too sometimes. Other than that I like the truck
Awesome looking truck and love the aggressive stance! RC has a 2.5 leveling front struts, no spacers and 0-2" rear shocks and rear lift kit available for the new Frontier's. Will be trading my 2010 Tacoma for a Boulder or Gunmetal gray Pro4x soon. Thanks for sharing brother!
👎👎 I have a 2022 Nissan frontier and I would trade it for a 2018 frontier in a fucking heartbeat 👎👎
got the lasfit and installed them just today. will drive later and see. like the Firestones. Off next week so I will try to get the RC 2.5 on as well (its sitting in a box staring at me). You got seat covers? Any suggestions?
I don’t! If you find some that are worth a shit let me know. I’m definitely in need of some.
Beautiful truck Bro!
Did you ever think of blacking out the rims?
Love the tires!
These are my Frontiers I've owned 1989,1993,2005 they were all Awesome! My 1993 had 3inch lift.
I plan on getting some nice bronze wheels in the future. I think the bronze looks really good with the red.
@FLTRUCKSTRAVEL cool !
I'm into the blacken out theme now.
I want to buy one but they're to over priced right now.
My 2005 Frontier Ls was $28.800 and fully loaded at that time .
I think the back seats were great and so did my friends.
@@brad4527 yeah it was a different world in 05 😂
Truck looks really good! Does your truck come with Apple CarPlay?
Your truck looks really good. I just have 2 questions, I apologize if you already said it. What size tires are you running, and did your frontier come with 2 front tow hooks or did you add one in? I have an S King cab model and mine only came with one on the passenger side.
The tires were a 265/70/16. Almosg the same size as stock. The truck came with 2 tow hooks.
Was interested in the Tacoma but going with this truck. I like the styling and the price a lot more.
I may be biased but I think you made a good choice 👍🏻
Great choice Bro
Same. Like Toyota, but especially with the new engine changes, im looking at the frontier being my next vehicle when i can afford it. Looks better than the tacoma too imo.
You notice yours swaying in the highway at all? Also do people flash their lights at you with the level and brighter lights? Thinking you have your brights on?
Swaying? Ehhh not really. Maybe a little. And no, I don't get flashed.
My 2017 S model came with 15 steelies and I have crank powered windows👍
I looooove the steelies! They are so underrated.
I'm gonna guess the issue with the sticking door latch could be fixed with a little bit of cleaning and lubrication. I dealt with a similar issue on one of my vehicles with brake cleaner, WD-40, and penetrating lubricant... In that order
Follow that up with some actual lubricant though
Yep. I'd spray the latch down with some brake cleaner to get it nice and clean and then apply some lithium grease. I bet it will work like a champ after than.
My 2022 Pro 4 has been solid, but the passenger side window is the slowest moving window I've ever seen. Also, the transmission does some wierd stuff on occasion, but nothing that is on going.
I had the door problem on the driver's side, also my truck likes to lock me out when it is running. Did you take off the chin spoiler, or does the basic model not have one?
Mine literally hasnt done the door thing since I made this video.. 🤷🏼♂️. I took the spoiler off. Thanks for watching!
Have you had any issues offroading without having the locker like the pro4x?
Not really. I haven’t gotten stuck yet but I will say I also haven’t REALLY pushed it off-road.
Nice looking rig.
I'm not a red truck guy normally, but that's a good looking truck....I think it's the black trim and windows.
I’m not a red truck guy either 😂. I feel like it’s a grandpa color. But, I will say…it’s growing on me
Very nice looking truck it’s the fuel economy for me.
Got mine yesterday
I had 4 nissan and infinity's through my 20s and 30s. They all started to have issues to varying degrees at 80-100k then major issues at 130-150k. Loved how they looked and performed but I like to keep my autos a long time and wanted more long term reliability. Switched to a 4runner 3 yrs ago, don't think im going back. Nissan is putting out some nice vehicles though
Definitely can’t go wrong with a 4Runner! We’ll see how this Nissan goes!
Frontiers are proven to be bullet proof. Any vehicle with a CVT transmission is garbage or a turbo engine like the new Taco's.
What Nissans / Infinity's?
Frontier / 2nd Gen Xterra are greatly different than sedans.
I had a 2012 Xterra Pro4x - sold it at 135K miles - shouldn't have. Not a problem and I took that everywhere.
@@thekeithlane 95 pathinder, (2) QX4, M37s. The first two I had in my teens and 20's, so if im honest I drove them a lot harder and wasn't as meticulous with all my maintenance. M37s I was though and treated well. With my current 4runner, everything just feels so solid on the interior and really shows no wear, can't say I had it to that extent with prior. I actually just bought a 1991 nissan 300zx twin turbo in mint condition with 50k miles as a second car. So guess my statement on not every going back didnt hold up lol
@@jsnow6925 that’s cool! I’m not dogging on 4Runners- they are solid.
The 300zx was and has been one of my favorites, good luck with that gem!
Good looking truck. I'm leaning towards this S trim. Is there a way to add just a 2" lift without having that bucket contact? From what I've seen so far, the 6" lift is the only solution to stop that bucket contact from adding spacers. I don't need and wouldn't want a 6" lift. Thanks for sharing.
Yes. There are a few companies that offer 2.5 lift without using a spacer. All Dogs Off-road RCKill kit is one of the most popular ones.
@@4wdAdventurz Thankyou Sir
Looking forward to the Titan swap! Now figure how to get a 5.6 crate motor in there 😊
I’m working on it!! 😂😂 on both! 🤣🤣
@Florida Trucks & Travel
Good. Cause a "true Titan swap" is (V8) engine, (6spd) transmission, and front suspension.
@@travelinman482 At that point you just need to buy a titan.
@@swampssa
Why? A midsized truck [Frontier] with a bigger [V8] engine is a lot better for the trails than a heavy, full-size pickup.
Kind of nitpicking, but when you spend that much money, and are still paying, I can understand. I am just glad your issues are minor. For me, big issues would be engine, or drivetrain issues. If there are none there, you’ve got a great truck. I am still driving my 99 Silverado Vortec v8, 400,010 miles, and I have a feeling this truck engine is in that category.
Yeah. All of the issues are very minor. Drivetrain has been 100% solid. Those Vortec’s will run forever no doubt.
A little lubricant in the latches , hinges , silicon the seals should regularly be done,
Those lights look fantastic. How's the visibility at night with them? For those of us who have to strain to see when it gets dark.
Honestly, the nighttime visibility is wonderful. However, when you engage the brights, it is a barely noticeable difference.
@@4wdAdventurz I like the sounds of that. Nice
I have a 2019 Altima, same deal with the shifter and I also like fidgeting with it lmao
Cool truck. New Frontier's look pretty sweet. So over the whole Toyota thing. Hope the aftermarket really opens up for these. What size tank does it have and what MPG's are you getting?
I think it's an 18 gal tank?? I might be wrong. As the truck sits now I get around 16ish city 17ish hwy
Its actually a 21 gallon tank. I just got done taking mine on a long road trip and averaged 23 mpg and that's mostly driving 70-80 mph on the freeway. But mines not lifted but looks awesome - midnight edition with black rims
I was able to get almost a 500 mile range per tank with mine
@@nateg0155Same here on mine. I had a 24.5 mpg on a recent trip.
Great input on your truck. I'm waiting for the next Gen Tacoma before my next purchase, yet with rumors of a 4 cylinder only option for the Tacoma, I'll be definitely looking into buying the Frontier. V6 or bust. Lol. It's a Great looking truck, no doubt.
2024 taco has smaller engine
Thanks for watching Frank! I’m 90% sure the ‘24 yota will have a 4cyl. 😬 I might be wrong though.
@Florida Trucks & Travel lol, I hope you're wrong, but I believe you are 100% correct. All is good, Frontier here I go. 👍✌️
@Fawlous so sad, but thankfully, the Frontier will take its place then. 👍✌️
@@car-diologist I was thinking the same about the nissan frontier but their reliability is not very good. I will purchase the trd sport tacoma 2023 instead, last 3 gen
If you do some decently good off roading you need to do a titan swap on the frontier.
My shifter has had that movement since new
Dude this truck looks SO FUCKING SICK bro!! Mad jealous. Would love one of these or older models but can't really afford to buy a newer truck currently
Excuse me for asking, but I'm new to trucks and I'm interested in learning. How beneficial is it to have bilstein shocks and rear-locking differential matter? I might be wrong, but I think those are some accesories that come with the Pro-4x trim.
It depends on what you'll be doing with your truck. if you are going to be going off road quite a bit then I think the Pro4x is definitely what you want if you can swing the price. Just remember you are never going to regret having nicer shots and you’re never going to regret having a rear locker.
@4wdAdventurz thank you for your response. In the area where my family lives in Mexico, there are some sections where the dirt road is uneven due and are therefore a problem to navigate. Especially while and after raining.
Would the 4wd system of the S and SV trim be enough? That is my version of off-roading.
@@jorgecervantespartida8929 it probably would be adequate. But if you can swing the extra money for the pro4X I would.
For the Rought Country lift(s), did you do a 2" lift for both the front and the back? Thanks!
Yes. 2.5 up front and 1.5 shackle in the back
@@4wdAdventurz Looks great! Love those tires, too! What would you recommend that isn't so knobby? I live in FL, but love the look of this truck. Future plans (and recommendations from others) point toward a 4x4 vehicle. Plan on doing a lot of camping.
Can't beat the look of those steelies.
Right!? I think they look dope. Thanks for watching Brad!
Would you recommend last year (2021) style ? Not for the style but for functionality. I love the design of 2022 and newer but I don’t really have the money plus I actually like the shorter front end but what do you think about the 2021 ?
The 2021 is fine. Underneath the new body of the 2022, they are virtually the same to the previous generation.
@@4wdAdventurz ok thank you
i have the same truck about the door i find if you open it fast it gets caught
Nice truck i been renting one for couple days now
Only down side it suck on gas
Yeah the mpg isn't amazing, especially when you start to mod it. If your main concern is mpg, I'd probably look elsewhere.
Did you have to get camber bolts installed to get the alignment
Nope
Where do you put your cooler? How do you like the fuel mileage?
Cooler goes in the back seat at the moment. Fuel milage isn't my favorite but I knew it would be terrible once I start lifting and adding all this shit I did. 18 city 16-17hwy. It is what it is I guess..
With 25k on it i'd get that latch looked at right away. 11000 miles will go by really fast.
Agreed.
I thought Nissan has a 5 year 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, at least that's what I was told at dealership here in Tennessee
They will deny the claim. They will blame the latch on the lift kit....😁
@@thomaslehmann5981 I wouldn't doubt it
@@thomaslehmann5981No they won't, it's a 5 min adjustment.
I want this. Looks clean and its fun. But am also considering a ranger or a Colorado.
The Nissan has been solid so far. The new Colorado’s look nice too
The titan looks bad ass too.
Now that Toyota has ruined the new Tacoma I'd like to try a Nissan but I've never seen one in 20 years that didn't have major problems before 100,000 miles. Good looking truck, looks almost a twin to a Tacoma
How’s the mpg on the truck?
Have you noticed any vibration at idle? Mine is sitting at the dealer right now and they say they can't duplicate it.
Ummm..🤔🤔🤔
No, I dont think I’ve noticed anything like that.
So I own a 2010 xterra, and what I've read online is it might be the engine mounts. If I remember correctly, they have a oil filled mounts, (dunno about the newer ones though), but people reccomend getting polly bushings.
I wonder if the front struts from the previous D40 will fit the new D41?
I don’t know for sure, but if I had to guess I would say no
@@4wdAdventurz i mean the new frontier is based on the old frontier chassis so the chances of them fitting aren’t as slim as you may think
Yes they will fit its the same frame that is also shared with the Titan.
Do the base model 4x4 trucks come with ABLS?
Yes
The steelies do look good with those aggressive tires. I still haven't brought my 2022 Frontier for the transmission recall because the dealership won't come get it. My only complaint is the thing still turns like a container ship.
yeah, the turning radius still is terrible lol
I'm pretty sure I would have left out the whole shifter part of the video...
Haha. That’s a fair point😂
@@4wdAdventurz Yeah. Looked like you were having a little too much fun doing that! Lol.
How much did that wrap end up costing you? I'm looking to do something similar for my business.
I’ve had quotes that range from $250-$650. Definitely depends on where you live. I had this done for $350
@@4wdAdventurz thank you!
Personally run the Firestones on a Surburban hunting rig, absolutely fantastic snow and mud tire, great on those back country elk hunts.
Yes sir! I literally have 0 complaints with the tire when it’s off road. Idk if I’ll ever switch.
@@4wdAdventurz lol iv got 6 brand new ones tucked away in the barn, i like them so much I even got 2 new ones for my spares .. 🤣🤣
Which video is the one about the Billie bars / tent?
th-cam.com/video/Vsz3E5bBBzs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nYVnqMQFXvCNCfnC
Dont think the screen protector link is working. What was the deal? I will probably order one.
Hey Brian. Thanks for letting me know. I just adjusted the link. Let me know if that works. Thanks for watching!
@@4wdAdventurz Nope I dont see any discpounts added.
What trim is this Nissan truck? Is it a 4 x 4 or 4 x 2/
This is a S, a base model. 4x4
Wish they had a manual transmission option
Yeah those are becoming hard to find in any truck now
Did you remedy the sticking door latch?
What was causing it?
I didn't. It actually hasn't done it again since I shot this video 🤷🏼♂️
@@4wdAdventurzThank you.. ok, mine did it today bought it Friday 2024
Highly recommend doing the rear axle breather mod.
Yeah? I’ll look into it! Thanks Roberto!
You overlanders make me laugh have fun
Does yalls rpm’s rev up just going over overpasses?
If the cruise control is on, yes
@@4wdAdventurz thanks we have a loop around our city. Major route. Its a little aggravating reving up every mile or two.
What lift are you going to change to?
I originally was going to go with a titan swap but I’m leaning more 6inch lift.
So the S trim comes with Apple CarPlay?
It does!
Put white lithium grease on all of the latches. That is what the dealer would do to fix the issue.
Has yours gotten rattly already. I have a knocking in the console as well, 25,000 miles.
Not really. I get a little squeaky sometimes but that’s from a bushing or somthing. That’s about it
I'll bet the door hanging problem is worse if the truck is sitting not level like on a slant or hill.
Honestly I haven't noticed. When I can find a hill I'll check. Being in FL, they are kinda hard to come by 😂
Do you notice a delay on acceleration from a stop. Like the input from the gas pedal takes a fraction of a second to input into the engine? Mine does and it drives me crazy.
Yes! From what I understand until the truck is doing 15mph the throttle is lagged, Im assuming to help those MPG numbers..Its annoying for sure..
@@4wdAdventurz Cool. Thx man. Thought it was a defect. Great looking truck my man.
You saod the base model is 40k?? That is crazy. I found a 2022 S model here in Denver for 30k without tax.
Did I? If I did that was a mistake...base model (cre cab 4x4 with convince package) like I have is close to 40..like 38 and change.
My SV wasn't $40.
Don't you think you should at least buy the shifter dinner before you do that?
😂😂😂😂😂.
I tell ya, those Nissan's are bad ass!
why didnt you get the pro4x?
I’m poor
Thank you
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

1x(1/4/24)…….done thank you excellent
I have that issue with my frontier (Door Hanging up) but it's with the driver door!!
Ugh that sucks. It literally just started doing that about 2 weeks ago.
@@4wdAdventurz Mine just started doing that today, super annoying. Have either you contacted Nissan to see if they will fix it? I just noticed on my driver door, too.
My driver door hangs also. Had to use a sawsall to get spare tire down, the t-end rod is useless if there’s no t-slot for it to go in. In the shop now. 😂 probably last nissan i buy.
I have the same issue. Drivers side door. I have to climb across to open it.
5 min fix at the dealership, but they will make you make an appointment.
