Y'all are amazing for being here, thanks for watching! What do you think of this new Frontier? I feel like Nissan played it fairly safe but still did enough to be a strong competitor. Leave your thoughts below!
I think they hit the nail on the head for the price point it's drastically cheaper then it's competition, I'm going to test drive one as soon as it comes out
I have been watching frontier review vids all morning and your detailed review is the best one by far. I learned way more than all of the others combined. Subscribing for sure.
Been considering a TRD offroad but I’m definitely buying a pro 4X as soon as they hit the lot. This ticks every box I can think of and looks amazing to me.
I have the 2019 TRD Sport long bed. My old truck as a Frontier SV. Great truck, but very dated. Now that I have the Taco, I can't say that I'll buy the PRO-4X. Not at that price. It was a good truck, but compared to the Tacoma.....just a different class. Now.....I'd be lying if I said I'm not temped to go back.....but ....I'm just reluctant somehow. Can't explain it.
I had a 2020 TRD Offroad and I absolutely hated that truck. The problem was the terrible driving experience. It had the most uncomfortable seating position of any truck I've ever owned and the drive line was unrefined with bad vibrations above 50 mph. I had the long bed, so it may have had something to do with the elongated drive shaft. In any case, I hated driving that truck, so I sold it after just 8 months of ownership. Before that I owned a 2016 Frontier Pro4x and I thought I was taking this huge leap forward buying a TRD Offroad, but even as old as that Frontier platform was, it still drove 10x better and smoother than the Tacoma. I've been without a truck since I sold the Tacoma last year so I'm definitely excited to get a new Pro4x. I'll be special ordering mine whenever they start accepting factory orders. All the Pro4x's I've seen on dealers lots have a bunch of silly pre-installed accessories and I'm not about to waste a bunch of money on overpriced crap I don't need. I'm willing to wait to get exactly the spec I want.
I know I'm a little late to the party commenting but having just treated myself to a new Frontier 4x4 crew cab for my 65th birthday, better late than never lol. Back in the late 80's, I bought a new 1986.5 original Nissan Hardbody 4x4 manual. It was a fantastic truck. This new redesign intrigued me so I went and drove one and the rest is history, pun intended. I'm loving all the new tech, and that 310hp isn't bad either. It's all I could want in a truck. Great review Nolan.
Phenomenal review video. Currently driving a 2012 Frontier I've owned for 7 years and I still love it. But this all new redesign is freaking awesome. Nissan crushed it, what a great looking truck.
Omg yes! That was one of the festures that turned me off of the ridgeline completely. So aggravating having to fight against things that i cant just turn off.
Nissan should have went ahead and added a turbo for the premium model just to make an example of all it’s mid-size competitors. A lot of Tacomas and Jeeps would have been traded in on it’s release.
This is probably the best review I've watched, kept me inclined to what I was watching the entire time and gave me a breaker veiw of all the interior and exterior features, the only thing I still haven't heard in any of the review videos is the fender premium 10 speaker sound system. I would love to get an idea of what it sounds like before I go to a dealership and get the full effect when they start selling them.
Good review! No auto stop start and no electric power steering are a big plus for anything on wheels. No bottom bed Utili-Track, a foot e-brake, and no DESERT RUNNER name anymore😲 LIKES: gas struts for the hood, damped tailgate, available remote start, and an updated interior and some advanced features. DISLIKES: no 8-way power seat, no power rear window, and no 4WD auto.
I have a 2006 LE Frontier 4×4 4.0L and I love it but she's getting old and it's time to start to look for something new. I love everything about this new truck it's so much like my current one other then the engine and the only thing I don't want to give up is my actual key. Everything else is exactly as the old generation with some modern upgrades that I love. Thanks for the videos this definitely let me know that its a good truck can't wait for the full release in Canada so I can build one
I had a 2018 Frontier SV that got totaled. It was a great truck but old school. I like everything about the new one. Im buying a Pro 4X loaded as soon as I can find one
Good review, I really appreciate what Nissan has done - a mix of old and new. The designers get an A for the exterior - very chiseled and modern design, which should age well. As you note, no vehicle is perfect, but the Frontier is a compelling choice in this segment and welcome competition for the Taco.
Love your reviews bro, and Frontier did a good job updating this truck from decades old to years old tech. Price point matters, and this is going to be a good long lasting tough little truck.
The front bumper air curtains do not need to be a pass-through vent to be functional. The pocket creates the pressure zone to affect the air flow over the wheel wells.
The Frontier is an excellent no nonsense truck. I would take this over the Tacoma any day. The Tacoma is underpowered and shifts weirdly to save gas. The Frontier drives and shifts like a truck should.
Of all the reviews I’ve watched on this new frontier, this is the first I have noticed the strange location of the wheel wells in the bed of the truck. They are up against the front of the bed. Looks funny.
I owned a previous generation Frontier and now have a Titan. Loved my Frontier, my biggest complaint was the soft brakes. How did the brakes feel on your drive? Feel pretty responsive or still have that soft feel through the pedal?
first, thanks for the review, this is the only one i have been able to find. having said that, im so glad i didnt wait for this. a few months ago i bought a ram 1500 and it makes this (and most mid sized trucks) look like a joke and an insult. seriously, for the same 46K you can buy a brand new ram 1500 with mayyyyy more features than this and the interior is actually an extremely nice place to spend time. to top it off the 5.7 hemi with etorque gets the SAME mileage as the frontier. im so mad at my self i spent the last 15 years in mid sized trucks, granted half tons werent what they are now.
It's a shame they have eliminated the utili-tracks on the floor. I use them a lot on my 2006. Lovin' the Army green color. Edit: but the really big shame is no more manual transmission. That might well push me over to the Taco. Love my 2006 Frontier manual transmission.
Airbags make telescoping steering wheels sometimes problematic. I'll go with giving up telescoping steering wheels for better airbag safety every day of the week here in sw Florida.
Thanks for the review. Been watching a lot of them lately and yours has been the most detailed to date. Disappointing the cameras are still the same quality I’ve seen on a Nissan for quite a few years. They really need an upgrade IMO. Also, wireless charging without wireless CarPlay is a miss. I’ve owned a couple Frontiers over the years and a couple Titans, I’m pulling hard for Nissan.
Glad to hear that, thank you! I agree with you. I’m glad they finally updated it and still kept it to its roots for the most part. Thanks for stopping by
Remember everyone looks don't make them run, don't buy a unibody truck, which is an SUV, which means you are all about the comfort, anyone who buys a true Truck, it about how it can perform in any condition!! The choice is yours!!!
So ridiculous about the steering wheel not being telescopic. Also the front seats should have more adjustability and should be ventilated as well in this high trim level. I must say this truck looks bad ass and now that it’s mainly me, the wifey and the dogs, the back seats won’t get used much. I can’t wait to drive / look at one. The only drawback is that I’m a musician and I heard that Apple play is not wireless? I’d have to plug the phone every time I get in the car to hear my playlist??? That might be the deal breaker for me. I’m always in and out of my car. Great review by the way!
My 2015 Frontier had a terrible transmission, one reason why I dumped it after 10 months. I'm in the market again, and I'll look at the Frontier again, but I am a bit leery of it right now. TY for the info.
It's crazy that the next generation Colorado is going to have 310 horsepower 391 foot pounds of torque out of a 2.7 L turbo motor on Z71 & trail Boss models.. that's going to put the new boosted Tacoma the New frontier the newER ranger all to shame... At least on paper 🗞️... The ZR2 430tq!!
Why are the payload capacities for trucks sold in America so low ? I have a previous generation double cab Frontier (called Navara here in Europe), 4x4, and it has a payload capacity of 2300 lbs. It has leaf springs in the back, but the new model has coil springs and hasn't lost any payload capacity, so it's not that. And it's the same with Ford Ranger and other mid size trucks sold here, one metric ton of payload capacity is standard. Why do they rate them so low in America, different safety standards or what ? What's the point of buying a truck that cannot actually carry load ?
You’re right, that’s a serious shame. They just don’t care much about single or extended cab versions anymore which is where the most utility can be with a longer bed. Thanks for pointing it out!
I like the previous generation design better lol. This one just looks like they tried too hard to change it. Looks like a Tacoma too. I guess I could get a good deal on the previous version before they go obsolete??
According to my salesman it is. He had me pull into a parking lot and turn around but i had never driven an earlier one so cant really say. Having other 4 wheel drive trucks, it seemed fine to me
I want one so badly but don’t trust anything in its first year model… let alone a Nissan with a new transmission and an engine that was barely really available and only maybe has a handful of 2020/2021 models out there with it
I like the truck. Only thing I don't like are the plastic things that droop down from the headlights. Looks like something Toyota would design, which is not a compliment.
I listed the price as tested at 0:35 as I always do. I even have it as a “chapter” so you can skip around to different areas of the video. And I complained about multiple things, plus I have a whole video dedicated to things I like AND don’t like about it. Far from a commercial lol, please.
@@kidamere2408"trying so hard to be a Tacoma" why would a Frontier want to have a plastic bed, no leg room, a gutless engine, drum brakes, and no fully boxed frame like a Taco. Sorry, but nobody is trying to be that archaic overpriced truck.
@@shaunoftheguads or so it can not be broke down, have the highest resale value. And those drum brakes still has the shortes stopping distance from 60 in its class so yeah it wants be a tacoma big time
@@kidamere2408 "highest resale value" yeah I mentioned that, it's overpriced. But if you wanna pay 45k for a used taco go right ahead. I'll buy wiser and get something else.
