I Go Hands On With THIS 2022 Nissan Frontier Model Most People Will ACTUALLY Buy! 

Can you do the same with the 2021 Titan SV? I like the looks of the Pro 4x ,but have no need for it or the price. Would love to see how it does off-road too!! Thanks

YES! I wish all reviews were the middle tier...It gives a review of a more practical truck that most would actually be buying.

@@k13andy exactly!

Yeah he’s annoying lol (not to be rude) but Andre is the best 🤘🏽

Lmao

Same. Andre keeps a good pace on his own. Having Roman backseat-driving on these reviews with Andre really gives me whiplash. And having to watch Andre double back, and change course mid thought, feels very frenzied. Both of them can do very competent vehicle reviews on their OWN, but when they're together it feels like they both wanna be THAT GUY.

Agree to all ⬆️

@@knoxvitela2277 I agree, Nathan’s cool, him and Andre excellent combo.

That interior looks almost just like my 2007 and they call this all newly designed looks like old crap.

@@juujuubees379 It doesn’t look like your 2007 at all. I have a 2019 and it doesn’t look anything like mine. Quit BSing

@@juujuubees379 is your nick name stevie wonder? I have 14 and this looks nothing like it

@@scott8238 no your 14 definitely looks like that its ok you don't have to be in denial. Just because there is 1 or 2 things slightly changed does not make it a redesign so it still looks the same and very outdated like your 14. Its ok you want a lollipop

@@joshuamccormick5497 Ouch you foolishly bought a 2019 which is so outdated, you need a lollipop too.

Raiti’s Rides, Alex on Auto’s, and Several other channels already did reviews on the SV a few days ago.

I want to see the non double cab version

I want to see an s 4x4.... Nobodys done it yet

A 5.0 f-150 4x4 is rated the same and has way more capability.

BUT it’s a pretty high displacement engine and 310 horsepower.

I've never seen a V6 get that type of fuel mileage being a 3.8. I can't think of one single V6 on the market right now that gives you better fuel economy than this V6 does.

@@attananightshadow does the 5.0 really give that MPG in the real world? Lol my Hemi doesn’t give me anywhere near what the sticker says.

@@jamesm568 Well not in the midsize class but in the full size class the F150 with the 2.7 gets 21 combined even in 4WD form. Plus the 2.7 has better horsepower and tons more torque than the 3.8 in the Nissan

Think they will be. Keep watching the forums, lots of talk about brining midvsize off roader back.

I was thinking the same thing the other day when I saw the tiny 4” screen Ford puts in the base Ranger. Anything smaller then a 7” screen is a marketing choice, not a cost choice.

@@jcibolo6265 I agree, but I use my truck for home remodeling and am working at a different place every week. So having the screen be bigger for my GPS is nice. It’s a luxury for sure, but it’s very helpful to me.

You don't expect a TV to last 20 years.

@@bluesfan6862 Bean counters at Ford must be laughing their asses off how they can manipulate buyers to opt for the larger screen for $3000 more

More business illiteracy and egalitarian BS. Yeah, it probably doesn't save them much money, if any, to produce a smaller screens. However, lower trim levels are often loss leaders. There has to be some sort of penalty for the fact that you didn't spend $50,000+. Otherwise, there would be no motivation to spend more on profitable configurations that are subsidizing your cheapy work truck. If you knew anything about running a business and making it profitable, you'd understand scale and cost spreading, as well as loss leading and the necessity of other forms of marketing strategy. Your sub-$30,000 work truck would not exist without them.

My 6 speed frontier is more fun to drive than any pickup I’ve owned yet.

Gotta love having 1 more fluid to leak

@@ah4800 loool Criticism/humor accepted, but if we follow that line of thought, I'm more afraid of something electronic failing than hydraulic. Don't have statistical data as to which one would be more likely to fail, so I'll leave it 50/50, but my appreciation for hydraulic power steering is similar to my appreciation of traditional automatics. I'm a manual transmission, non-assisted steering type of guy, but in the world of CVTs and electronic steering assists, hydraulic automatics and hydraulic steering assists all of a sudden start looking good.

People that actually use their vehicle like a truck don't worry about the EPA BS. You want fuel efficiency then buy cheap ass Maverick that the low income peasants want.

​@@jamesm568 if you ran a fleet you'd definitely care and consider fuel mileage as that equates out to thousands of dollars annually in expenses that could be avoided.

Yep, it's all about transmissions I think. Ford and GM try so hard with their transmissions and aerodynamics to make the highway mileage better. The only way to make things better is by following Ford and making a hybrid. Gasoline engines are at their physical best right now. There's no way to increase mpg unless you add electrification or decrease power

@@mctigmctiggy1475 that's where the compact truck segment will shine. very small and lightweight trucks that aren't very good for towing but still are capable in payload. meanwhile midsize trucks and half-tons keep getting heavier

@@jamesm568 This piss ant peasant wants to race you to retirement

Frontiers never used cvt transmissions. Nope, they've always used JATCO conventional automatics. Which have been extremely reliable. This transmission is based on the one in the Titan. Which has been out for a few years. It's been a solid transmission. Can't say the same for the Aisin 6 speed in the Tacoma.

NICE ONE! It looks like Nissan is following the ''Brutalism'' approach, for the Frontier's interior colors - Grey, Dark Grey, and maybe Black.

It looks like it is already 15-years-old. The switch gear reminds me of my 1996 Honda Accord.

@@chriswilson433 Thats not really a bad thing. The switch gear feels pretty rugged compared to other vehicles I have driven lately. The heated seat switches are neat because you can leave them on when you leave the truck and they will be on when you remote start it

You are not the only one, it looks like they basically took their existing truck, slapped some modern metal on it and a larger infotainment screen. I mean it the switches look like the ones my 05 Pathfinder had and those where the same from before that model. It looks dated to the 90’s where I can pop off the button caps and place the little red bulb for my car alarm from back in the day. Oh well, Chevy does it with their column shifter and people still buy them like crazy.

What's wrong with girls?

@@FrankySilverFace its nor girls I said the navara looks like a girl because its tiny and soft while Ranger, Hilux, Colorado are macho and big

@@ra_redesignautomobiles just get the F-350 if you want macho big truck heck Ford make even bigger trucks F450 550s and so on

Look at the 4cilinder 2021 np300 Frontier… im from Mexico and have one

With diesel emissions restrictions, it is highly unlikely that Nissan or Toyota will bring their diesel engines to the USA.

Why?

@@blakerh Drive the Titan pro4x. I love mine. Getting 18-22mpg.

@@blakerh I had a 17 Tacoma I liked the truck but the transmission hunting gears was the reason I traded.

You won't be disappointed I traded my Tacoma for a frontier back in 2014 and it was good decision.

@@scott8238 I called a few dealerships and they said they are only getting one PRO-4X this year. I am sure they will mark it up to 50k. Guess I will have to wait until next year to buy one.

It’d need to have good fuel economy to be a ranger killer. It doesn’t.

@@attananightshadow It would also need to be smaller or under powered, let's just say it's in a different class🤔

Ranger murders this thing

Tommy, Pretty sure the ranger has more payload and towing than the new frontier…

Rather have the Ford

The frontier has a frame, 4 wheel disks, metal bed, the most displacement, and a reliable transmission. Can't say the same for the Tacoma. Just becauss they sell well doesn't mean they're the best trucks. Sort of like F150's. I've only heard mightmares from owners

@@SupramanTRD Yep, I've told many folks who claim best in class towing or horsepower matters that it doesn't and they always tell me I'm full of it. Until I point out that the Tacoma doesn't lead the mid size class in any category, except sales. Reputation, brand loyalty and mystique matters. Max towing, not so much. At least in the mid size class. The Frontier would be my choice because I find the current one the most comfortable. The Tacoma is a great truck but the most uncomfortable vehicle I've driven in a long time. The Tundra is so much better comfort wise that it's hard to believe Toyota makes them both.

I've heard it is the same as the previous generation. So the Titan still has a smaller turn radius. My 2017 Crew Cab LB needs 2 Mall parking lots to turn around in. It's lucky those are all empty now days. I've been thinking about putting an Atlas transfer case in so I can do a front dig to get into a parking place.

It's much tighter.

This is true for MOST midsize trucks these days.

Nissan says the turning radius remains the same. -Andre.

@@TFLnow well, that’s a thing I can live with if the truck is as solid as my ‘19 Pro4X. Thanks!

Those Equators are seriously rare over here. I've only seen two in my life.

@@SupramanTRD was cheaper than the Nissan. Paid $22,900 new but also had 7 year 100k mile warrenty in the power train. To this day it still turns heads.

Next month. They said early September.

Ok

It could be made for a rental company like Enterprise. If not, it is weird.

I think Nissan is trying to standardize all basic features (engine/tranny). Not bad since you can add a hitch later.

@@lukman8400 not saying it’s bad at all. Just seems like making the tow package standard would be easier. A $295 added to the Monroney wouldn’t make much difference.

@@BamaPewPew got it! The only reason i can think of is for reporting payload numbers, ie to make a claim for a high payload. Usually they report the number for the BEST payload among ALL trims - “ up to 1,600lbs”. I guess if they add a hitch as standard, it will be minus 50-75lbs :)))

@@lukman8400 true, I hadn’t thought of that possibility

No, people need to buy them, which they don't.

So they can sell 500 of them?

@life phobic won't happen, truck manufacturers are trying to make all modern trucks look more like cars. Meaning no more chrome bumpers

That's called "nostalgia"...

Nostalgia is when you bring something back. What they did was just lazy

The Ranger and Gladiator are the only 2 midsize trucks where you can’t get a 6’ bed on the crew cab, the Tacoma, Colorado, and Canyon all offer that

A lot of unibody based SUV's have more payload than many body on frame trucks, even half ton trucks. But most people never bother to look at the actual door sticker for payload capacity and assume the advertised maximum payload for the base model work truck is the payload for all trucks in the lineup. That is never true. Of course, max payload on these SUV's and now, of course, the Maverick change with added options as well. Unibodies are not weaker designs than non-commercial or heavy duty frame based vehicles especially when kept in SUV form with the entire roof structure in place. The unibody design is typically lighter which helps keep payload high. It is also a much stiffer platform that almost always uses independent suspension which allows better ride and handling even with stiffer springs which allows a higher payload as well. The trucks could easily have 2000 pounds of payload capacity as many of their overseas counterparts built on the same platforms do but the ride and handling suffer dramatically and the average consumer in the states wants a comfortable ride more than they want massive payload capacity. In Asia, Australia and Europe the full size truck is all but non-existent so it falls to the mid size crowd to carry the load and so they beef them up over there. I suspect there's also a little fear in corporate offices that if they give their mid size truck a higher payload than their full size then why buy the full size for more money? But the manufacturers don't consider truck and SUV buyers as cross shoppers. And the Maverick is in a different class as well.

Not everybody wants a full size truck.

I agree. You can replace it with a locking cap like I do.

Because at 19mpg combined with a tiny tank you’ll be opening it a lot.

Philosophy, tradition, convenience, lazy engineers, cost savings, any lame reason.... The bed and the rest of the body are physically and conceptually compartmentalized, which makes it's slightly more expensive to add than it would be had it been unibody, or if it were a forethought. So, they look for whatever BS reason to not add it. If people still accept it, even though they're now paying $90,000+ for trucks, they really don't have a reason to add it.

In a 2 door single cab with a short bed. 🚀

Hopefully soon!

They aren't skimping on payload capacity. Look at the actual payload capacity on the door sticker of any mid size truck in the same trim as this one and you'll find a very similar rating. All vehicles have build specific payload capacities which is why you never know what the actual capacity of any specific vehicle is until you check the door sticker. All manufacturers advertise maximum payload capacities in their commercials but unless you get the most basically equipped, two wheel drive truck then you will never actually have the advertised max payload.
