Here's EVERYTHING You Need To Know About The 2022 Nissan Frontier From A to Z! 

NO AUTO START/STOP!!!! yeah!!!!!

Sorry guys but the heavy steering is one of the things that I love about this truck just feels so sturdy and powerful in lots of ways.

They "don't buy" that people called for hydraulic power steering, but everyone buys that Toyota used a 1980's C-frame and drum brakes for legitimate reasons🤣

Stop/start systems are a waste of a starter. It is too small of an increase of gas mileage to be useful.

To add to the Destination rant.. It's hard to beleive a dealer pays up to 2k per vehicle to have it delivered. You're telling me a truck delivering 10 new vehicles costs 15-20k? I have a hard time believing dealers actually pay that destination charge.

I think the new Frontier is the best looking midsize truck.

The destination fee not being wrapped into the MSRP make me want to negotiate it out at purchase. I will walk away from the dealership for them hanging on to it! If they don’t fix it I’ll move on!

When you are 68 years old and have a bad hip those little steps can be the thing that gets you into the truck. Yes, septagenarians want to off road and see the sights they heard about on your show while they sat in a windowless cubicle working for that retirement check. You should have a Geezer segment and one for handicapped off roaders.

It’s JATCO (Japanese automatic transmission company) its wholly owned by Nissan, always has been. Interestingly they also make manual transmissions. Hitachi is also owned by Nissan. So they make transmissions and electronics for a lot of car manufacturers.

I have '18 Frontier 4x4 and I am seriously liking this newer version. It's really nice looking. Nissan, did a great job imo. If anything I gotta test drive one.

I agree with you Roman, I hate the destination charge. Its as if the dealer is penalizing you for buying a vehicle at their dealer.

Still want my 03 frontier back, it wasn’t a super high end model but an xe crew cab long bed with the biggest factory tires

I think your side-by-side comparison debunked the comments that the new Frontier looks like a Tacoma. It is more squared off and has a stronger, more upright grill like the Taco, but it doesn't really look like the Taco. Your comparo definitely shows Nissan had the Taco in mind when they designed the new Frontier, but as a competitor, not necessarily to be imitated, IMHO. I agree with Roman about the ludicrous destination fees, especially for a domestically assembled vehicle that doesn't have to be shipped across an ocean. Keep ranting about destination fees AND about only offering safety features and LED headlights on the upper trim levels and option packages, Roman! Power to the People! LOL ...and YES! to a NISMO Pro4X and a Pro4X Warrior. They'd kick Toyota's butt! The Frontier social media boards would go wild for those options. We also really want the Xterra to return to US shores. Please, Nissan!

Personally I’m glad it’s still hydraulic rack and pinion steering I love being able to feel the road through the steering, not a fan of the electronic steering

I prefer hydraulic steering over EPS; I appreciate the superior steering feel. Long time Frontier owner...

Did not plan on buying another vehicle but a storm took out my truck with a huge tree so I bought the 2024 frontier pro 4x and I love it

Your comparison testing should always include the outgoing model in the side by side. THis would provide a better reference for performance, drivability and feel. Going up against competition is always cool but a replacement design should always be evaluated against its outgoing brother / sister.

We were on a family trip up from AZ into UT earlier this week staying in Park City. My son and I spotted a tan one (on listening, Baja Storm) near the Dear Creek Reservoir area and both commented that we didn’t think they were out yet, and that they looked good and then thought no more of it until this. A presser in Sundance.

On my 3rd Frontier. Picked up the 2020 Pro4X the new 3.8 V6 310HP is a great engine after further review. I live in the High Sierra Nevada Desert 🏜 / mountains and the Frontier kicks ass

Saw one on the road yesterday, these are fantastic looking truck.

Nissan truck steering is awesome. My son and I agree, he had a Titan and I have a Frontier, they have the same feel. And we both think Toyota trucks are gushy. He just traded his Titan for a 2020 Raptor.

I enjoy your videos . I watch almost every one that you make. I take your advise before making a vehicle purchase.

So, it takes a turbo to out torque this engine. So if you want the extra expense of a diesel (DEF fluid, high end oil for diesels and the extra filters) or paying more in gas for a turbo four (mileage goes down when you romp on it), the this is not your truck. They forgot to mention the Dana axles you get in the ProX and 4X. The 4X has more skid plates underneath. This video could have been shortened by 20 minutes.

Great job!

Thank you for asking about the Xterra. I am holding on to my 2nd gen with the hopes of a refresh. It does make sense they will release a higher trim level after the Frontier is in garages.

Wait I'm confused so are all the colors the pro 4x are offered in are those colors options on the SV and S trims as well ?

Good review & great Nissan.

Are the rear brakes solid or vented?

I hope they retuned the ABLS on the Frontier to make it more aggressive for off roading on the Pro-4X.

I think I differ with Roman on over-the-air updates. I'd like auto manufacturers to build simple, reliable control systems the first time. Having continuous updates allows them to follow a "good enough" methodology, putting vehicles out the door with substandard software. In the extremely rare case where my vehicle needs a crucial update, one that I actually opt-in for, I don't mind going to the dealer (as long as they have flexible hours). There are other potential issues of having network-enabled vehicles as well.

How many channels do you guys have? 😂 I keep finding more and more in the recommended

you guys keep talking about the Honda ridgeline is that really considered a truck compared to The Colorado , Ranger, tacoma , frontier etc ?

Lol at death wobble......that's a solid front axle issue

Does anyone know if the new frontier will have a roof rack option?

my ford dealer only gets trucks in that have been factory ordered right now, they occasionally have a Ranger that comes in that lasts a day or two before its sold. superduties are the same.

The ZR2 and the Tacoma only come with 30.5in tires. Only the Ranger and the Nissan come with 31.5s. Of course the Gladiator can be had with 32.7in. Nissan is fairly low volume. I think they hit the maximum market share part of the segment. Personally, I would get a Ranger Tremor if i were buying this segment but I appreciate what Nissan did.

I have a red alert 2024 pro4x leather and sun roof. I love that truck drives and rides great !

Hope see the towing video soon.

I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra S with over 224,000 miles on it. Never had an issue with the original CVT. I changed the fluid every 60,000 miles as required in the owner’s manual. Nissan is capable to be reliable as Toyota and Honda. You haters should learn how to read a manual and drive a car properly and you won’t have any problems long term.

Is adaptive cruise control standard?

is the prox going to come in a king cab?

1. Stop start sucks. Keep your 1mpg, I'll take the pleasure of not having that crap in my truck. 2. Don't need to worry about being upsold, I know I'm not walking into a Ford/GM/Stellantis dealership. 3. I prefer hydraulic steering. Here's a bonus: 4: I am also happy to manually open and close the back window if it means that I don't end up spending 50k Canadian on a mid sized truck.

I really like the look of this truck, but other than the body changes Im having trouble seeing why I shouldn't just get the 2021 model instead? Seems like it has less "chips" as they put it so there would be less likely something could go wrong.

I’m considering it because I don’t like the turbo lag on the ranger.

i love this podacast.

So glad there is NO start/stop! And I much prefer hydraulic steering in a truck. Electric steering has zero feeling and it's too light unless it's artificially generated. And my experience is it requires constant correction at crusing speeds. Hydraulic has been around forever and is dependable. Replacing electric steering is very expensive. I'm not as enamored with direct injection though and prefer port for simplicity even if it gets worse gas mileage.

Is the turning radius any better in the new truck? Cause the old one sucks...

Hey Andre! I noticed the test vehicle had different wheels than the pre production model. Was that a change or just another option?

Hi is this truck available in 4x2 diesel auto for Australian

I watched a video of the Nissan Frontier corporate slideshow and it said that it has "available wi-fi with over the air updates". Hoping that means it can perform over the air software updates.

The destination fee issue is a bit much. Yeah. I guess it's a thing a dealer can "waive" to make a buyer happy?

I like the non electronic steering, leave that for cars

Read something quite interesting that Nissan is allegedly kicking around for a power plant, the Nismo upgrade. Make that an option in 2023 and it'll be quite interesting.

Takes 12 minutes for these two to start getting to the point.

Good looking truck

Nice truck!

Nissan needs to unveil their pricing for the 2022 Frontier, they are losing potential buyers by keeping it hush-hush. All of Nissan's competitors to the frontier have already released their pricing, what is the hold-up?

Will the ProX at least have an LSD?

Lol in 1995 i had ammo can 6x9s on 20 foot leads... Made for great drive in movie movies

Looking fwd to seeing it in person.

An after market brake controller is no big deal. Most customers woulnt tow with the truck to a level that they need an integrated trailer brake controller. Ya gotta have brakes on the trailer your towing for a trailer brake controller to be useful. The truck is wired for one so its an easy plug in under the dash, at least the previous gen is. Ive towed a bunch with my 2008 Frontier 4x4 SE crew cab long bed. Most of my towing is of my 6x12 unbraked cargo trailer but I have towed several times with a braked trailer with an aftermarket brake controller plugged into the prewired factory plug and it works great.

We have been waiting. Bought the ram 1500 in January but are still looking for a mid size. Ranger and taco are out. Chevys are all right but out dated tech. Hoping to drive one of these soon.

What do you think about the reliability about this brand?

Please compare interior space . Old one and new one

It's a ZF 9 speed or a jatco 9 speed? Either way usually RWD tranmissions from Nissan are decent. It's their CVT that is poorly designed and made

Funny that Nathans accident was mentioned in the context of being able to afford a replacement. Someone just slammed into the side of my Frontier about a week ago. No injuries thankfully and my truck still drivable. But I have a 2008 Frontier SE 4x4 crew cab long bed with 356,000 miles on it. Guess what. The person that hit me had Geico and they totalled my truck as it was estimated to be around $5000 in repair cost. Basically dented in some if my front passenger fender, both front and rear passenger doors and some of my rear bed side. My doors open and the truck drives aside from a needed flat tire replacement. I feel like I kinda got screwed as they said my truck was worth about $6000 and the salvage buy back was $2200 according to Geico. So now my perfectly good running truck is all bashed up and Ill have to pay to have it fixed after I buy it for the salvage which I will definititely be doing because truck prices are rediculious right now. My plan is to drive my beat up rig till the new Frontier goes on sale and then head to a dealer and try to get a good price on a 2020 with the new drive train while everyone else is lusting over the new one. Then Ill still probably fix the old 2008 myself over time on the cheap as its been an Awesome truck and I know its still got a good bit of life left in it.

The focus groups obviously did not include people who tow. Hence the missing brake controller

Can you get cloth with a sunroof or is all in a package together? I want the sunroof with cloth for the orange accents

are those actually rock rails, bolted to the frame?

I wanna test drive one so bad

Diesel?

Lava Red = Chevrolet Flame Red = Yeehaw!

Looks the Gmc Cayon

GREAT NISSAN.

I don't want over the air updates... that means my vehciles could be disabled...

A long bed PRO 4X would make more sense than a PRO-X. Who would want an off road looking truck that doesn’t have 4x4?

What am I missing in regards to the Frontier Pro4X? Roman stated that he feels it competes with the Tacoma TRD Off-Road but not the TRD Pro. Why is that the case? It has skid plates just like the Pro. It also has a rear locker, hill descent control, upgraded shocks, etc. Unless I am missing something it feels to me that it directly competes with the TRD Pro Tacoma.

Where is the roof rack?

Small children and elderly parents that you chauffeur around for errands and doctor appointments. Now that's a midsized truck that doesn't look as high as the chevy, Ford and Toyota offerings.

So can i get a pro 4x with a 6 foot bed?

Who puts their truck is 4wd at the boat ramp?

Man that mpg is having me second guessing purchasing this.

Nissan for me

"Klaus von Horsepower" lol

Bulletproof NA V6 with lower mpg over crap Turbo R4 with a bit higher mpg.

Alex is correct. The Nissan nine-speed auto is a Daimler design, built under license by Nissan's JATCO subsidiary...

Great looking truck, great engine, great interior...No manual, no thanks.

Pro-4x: 4. wheels can spin. Pro-X: only 1 wheel spins (no rear locker capability). Hence the name usage.

A brake controller in the truck wouldn’t help with a trailer that uses surge brakes, the brakes would be still constantly on going down hill.

You can tell that Roman's product knowledge is really lacking for most vehicles. Andre is the man.

Why is it no one talks about this new engine is DI only which is proven to have carbon buildup issues?

The X class was a Navarra.

You made a point of thanking your Patreon supporters because you don't have monetisation. Then why is this video being interrupted every few minutes by annoying ads?

What size is the Fender subwoofer under the rear seat ?

It's nice that you can select a 6' foot bed for the Nissan!🙌

Does it have cylinder deactivation?

People care about reliability because we definitely ain't spending another 40k year over year

It's sad they removed the rails in the bottom of the bed. They were the most usefull one when I had my Frontier.

What about the roof rack? Is that an option anymore? That's what made it stand out. Still a nice truck and thank you guys for your videos!

Towing test with the others
