2022 Nissan Frontier SV 4WD Crew Cab Short Box - POV Review 

I tried out the new GoPro Hero 10 Black for this review and it failed miserably! Apologies for the overexposure during the POV drive. I returned it and will be sticking with the trusty ol' Hero 8 Black for future reviews. The Hero 4 was great, the Hero 8 is great, holding out for the Hero 12...

That new Nissan logo is so cool. Subtle change, but cooler looking

Everytime I watch a frontier video I fall mor in love with that interior. And Nissan is absolutely killing it with the exterior

that steering wheel is so much better than looking than the last generation.

I think this is my number one pick in the segment.

Way better value for the money compared to the Colorado. That thing really needs an update.

I test drove ALL the midsize trucks.. but as soon as got in to 23 sv frontier 4x4... i fell inlove and bought it a week ago... i hate to say that is the best bang for your buck... because i cant justify why the other trucks cost 15k or more for the same stuff... but for sure dont sleep on the frontier!!

I'm gonna say it, I'd take this over the Tacoma!

I love the new Frontier! The SV is what I'd get for sure, not a hard core offroader but it's nice to have 4x4 to get to the spots where I want to go that I couldn't get to with a 2WD. I'm glad Nissan FINALLY updated the interior & exterior looks to it as it was greatly needed after so many years now, the new 3.8L V6 is a nice powerplant too especially with more hp too.

Hey man awesome review! Was hoping you could review the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum and the Infiniti Qx60!

Honestly looks good, love the exterior look now.

Like seeing the Led head lights and Leather seating in the SV

That shade of blue is beautiful

I had this truck as a rental when i visited LA with my dad. I wasn't really expecting anything from it but i really fell in love with it! Such a great truck. Too bad they don't sell them in Europe..

16:00 good Austin powers reference 😂

If👏it👏ain’t👏broke👏don’t👏fix👏it. New car old for the win!

I like the older model frontier too since it’s a basic analog truck. I have a 2007 Nissan Altima with 260k miles and I’ve driven it over a dozen times to Ensenada,Mexico from Northern California with no issues and regular maintenance. My uncle has a 2006 Titan with 280k miles and the truck is stronger than newer model Chevy/GM and dodge trucks with less miles. People shit on Nissan for no reason it seems.

I love the intelligent key with the door sensors and the push start engine button. That’s very convenient unlike the Ford ranger, Chevy Colorado That don’t have those features.

Would love to see your watch collection!

Inthink this is the best compromise of everything that makes a great midsize pickup truck, some make more torque or have a more upscale interior but aren’t as reliable or affordable,

35K for 4x4 with all those options?? On the website its showing me 39K for all those options and only 4x2, 4x4 is well over 40K

I so totally agree with your positive comments on the physical push buttons and twist knobs for controls. This is 2024 now, I feel motivated to grab a PRO-4X before they might go to larger computer control screens and very vexing software virtual button nonsense. For me, those are distracted driving. My wife’s car, I stop it and pull over to tweak even basic things. I am so glad you mentioned maybe the PRO trim soaks up bumps better. That’s the info I was seeking in deciding which model. And I really want the LED lights and the paint protecting wheel arch moldings. I don’t need to pull stuff nor off road, it seems some overkill, maybe get one of those tents for the bed and hit the state park woods in perfect temp seasons. Almost daily, my heavy e-bike gets rolled in on a motorcycle ramp, fold handlebars and laid down, kitty-cornered to fit. I tested out a not large 8” step up box placed on the ground towards front of the bed, and I’m tall, step up on that and can easily reach to lower bike flat for transport. I winter bike and go on salty roads, so no bike carrier on back will do. The other good thing will be the 4x4 for snowy slippery roads. It’s been almost 4 decades since I’ve had a part time system, however, I’m used to all the time AWD easy peasy. They could quicken the steering ratio and turn radius. The test drive, I was very impressed with how quiet it is inside and the ride was not as truckish as expected. Set up a little higher, nice Birds Eye view. Yet midsize is plenty large for me and space consumed in the garage or needed to park is reduced from full sized, and the price of full size, can’t. I’ll lose about 8 mpg’s over AWD four popper, but I only drive like 6000 miles a year. Appreciate simplicity of no turbo. Nissan for this truck seem pretty good at “Less is more”. It’s simply honest, very few gimmicks. Looks like you had fun driving it and making it zip along. The engine revs to 7000 easily. I understand that 9 speed auto is licensed by Mercedes. If German engineering, they are the best engineers of new technology. The cheery electric blue metallic, cloth seats and demand heated steering wheel, PRO-4X would be it. Just have to decide if spending a chunk or keeping same vehicular setup. 8 years old, the license tabs are just getting comfortable. Thanks for the review.

this is the best looking pickup of 2022. easy.

Interesting, I’m really liking the low side windows. How it has dip. Reminds me of f150’s etc. I’ve always thought ford trucks with the windows having a dip like that is nice. I sure am liking the new frontiers. Frontiers always been such strong reliable trucks🙏🏽

All these years and they still stick with their microwave chime letting me know the pizza rolls are done.

I have a new 2024 Frontier and the gas is still sensitive on the low end. You have to give it the perfect amount of gas if you want to start at a decent pace without launching, haha. It was a bit annoying at first, but it just took some getting used to.

About the throttle sensitivity I own a 2013 Frontier with the V6 & I experience the same thing so it’s probably just a carry over tuning!

Would you say the Frontier is the best mid-sized truck when it comes to the feel over pot holes?

I’m gettting this over Tacoma because not only it’s a lil cheaper but Nissan canada is offering 0% Apr on this car and some dealerships have these on lots. 🌮 has a long wait time and dealerships are trying to charge premiums too

The Nissan emblem looks like it's glowing.... but it's not. Pretty cook👌

I absolutely love your videos but have you ever been pulled over while recording a car review? I was just curious and if so how was it?😂

excellent review, mr topher

I own my 3rd Sentra and I am very happy with NISSAN products

It’s a shame I can’t get a king cab pro-4x, that’s pretty much a deal breaker for me. I want to sleep in the bed! I had high hopes after Toyota let us down with the same issue.

Does the rear kick out when taking a turn or corner spirited? I have an 08 and a always kicks out when conditions are wet.

Very nice and humble truck

I'm pretty excited to see you test a Maverick. Will most likely be my next vehicle! Hopefully sooner than later.

If my 2016 Frontier ever breaks I’m getting a 2022.

I can’t wait for the new Nissan Z

picking mine up tomorrow

35k sounds crazy but not a bad vehicle

I don't like how long it takes shift rather have a six speed transmission

Just bought one. It's weird. I guess I haven't owned a Nissan in a while so the materials and feel is different. However fair warning the steering is HARD as f to turn.

This is a nice truck!!!

It's got the hole in the roof folk's

Thanks. I like the truck. Worth a test drive, but a wide turning circle vs peers is kind of a deal killer. The whole point of a midsizefor me is improved maneuverability

so the sv 4x4 has LED, but SV 2wd doesnt?

Is the turn radius better on the tacoma do you know?

My only complaint about the truck is that I don't own one yet 🤙🏾

How did this compare to the Chevy Colorado you've driven?

What would be your pick, Topher....the Ridgeline or the new Frontier? I test drove the Ridgeline and loved the way it drove and the sound of the V6 is incredible, plus the "trunk" in the bed is just amazing. But the Frontier is growing on me. I know it's not going to be as good a ride, since the Frontier is body on frame, but that is a plus for me! I heard the steering is quite heavy, is that true?? I typically love trucks with light steering. I had a 99 Chevy and I could steer the thing with one finger.

Just got mines what gas would you think best fits this truck?

Complaining about turning radius in a midsized truck. Tractor trailer drivers are rolling their eyes at that statement. 🙄🙄🙄😂 😂😂🤣 Great video review though. I'm digging this pickup and it is in the mix for my next truck in a few months.

Is the tailgate lockable?

Speedmaster. Nice!

What's the differences between this and the pro 4x? Lockers and suspension mostly right?

LED headlights or no?

You sound like the savagegeese guy.

Well done

Needs a stick option...

Would you go with this or a comparable Toyota pick up based on drive alone?

Can you get LED headlights on the longbed version?

Nissan truck looks good but they are years behind on the interior, that would have looked perfect for 2012-13 but not so much today

no handbrake!

Would you go with this or Ridgeline?

When I worked at Enteprise trying to get the frontiers around the lot was such a chore. By far the largest turning radius I've ever dealt with. I do like the new frontier tho, id be curious to see how it drives in comparison to the Colorado and Tacoma.

Does this come in a 6-speed manual like the 05?

Do The New Tundra Please 🥺

35k? It's around 42k....

Ask Nissan for a Maxima!

"I love the simplicity here". What?! Compared to last generation this is so busy. Anything but simple. Trucks are becoming cellphones. Meaning, marketing has told us we 'need' the latest version. Further manufacturers are coming out with new models ever 2-3 yrs. Who wants to spend $35k+ to have it be 'obsolete' in a year or two? Vehicles are tools. This complaining that your truck isn't a mobile cellphone with all the tech is from buyers who don't use a truck except as a status symbol. The previous generation was all the truck most general consumers need. Not a cellphone on wheels, or a full size (aka a small house), to drive in the city 99.9% of the time. Nissan comformed and messed up a great truck.

That inside tho

Cigarettes lighters I thought they stop making those

This looks like a F-150!

35k and it doesn't have vents for the back seats

horrible rims. nice truck

wow the old interior was so damn ugly! maybe that’s what kept people away from buying that gen

Tacoma still better
