IS THE 2023 NISSAN FRONTIER PRO4X A BETTER TRUCK? PRO4X VS CANYON AT4 REVIEW. 

the bias here is absolutely crazy here 😂

I’ll take the v6 no turbos and the hydraulic steering.

I’ll take the Nissan

That launch was amazing. Every video we learn more about the new GMC Canyon AT4. Lots of great information on your channel.

That was a fun vid to watch! Hearing the turbo spool up on the launch was sweet!

"ARE YOU IN DRIVE"!!!!!!! OMG, that voice. She must be a real joy at home.

That gmc is beautiful inside and the frontier's interior is not bad at all. The price and reliability are the most important factors in this class, the frontier is a smarter choice.

Frontier>>>>>>>>>>>. It will still be on the road five years from now.

Great video Todd! New to your channel and glad I subscribed. Going to wait a bit to get one of the new trucks but you’re definitely helping me lean towards the canyon.

You’re getting more comfortable! As the video goes on you really warm up. Keep it up! Nice truck as well

love the energy right off the bat with this video. regardless of the actual review

Great job guys I love it 😁👍

Great video. Can you do one comparing your new AT4 to last years Colorado ZR2 so we can see the changes in sizing (height, width, ground clearance, etc.)?

I'm liking that desert sand metallic! Went with Onyx black when I made my reservation, should of went with DSM. Great video!

Awesome videos. What kind of tire set you have and the size? Are they optional?

here is the result from TFL towing up the "Ike"... Colorado 4cyl turbo / Frontier 6cyl na box trailer weight # 6800 / 6700 payload max / max squat inches 2.5 / 2.0 speed mph 60 / 60 time minutes 7.5 / 7.9 max throttle foot to floor yes / yes fuel consumed mpg 3.6 / 4.4 engine rpm 5400 / 6000 engine rpm per cylinder 1350 / 1000 conclusion for towing equal weights and mph: Colorado: 4cyl turbo works 35% harder, 4cyl turbo consumes 22% more fuel suspension squats 25% more Nissan is the superior truck

I work at a gmc dealership and boy does the new canyons feel much nicer than the previous gens. Very comfortable to drive in. I always criticized on how small the steering wheel is and how the steering wheel feels because it has that weird leather feel on all gmc trucks, but too me the steering wheel on the new canyons are bigger in size and the grip on it is great too. Driving gmc on a daily I feel like the steering wheel feels a little heavy or stiff while turning. Definetly not the new canyon I would get the canyon at4, however I want to wait until the new 2024 tacoma gets released and see what new specs are on those, especially if it comes with a hybrid engine.

Drove these and the Colorado Z71. At $50k the Chevy/GMC are a no brainer BUT I wanted to point out a major ace up the sleeve for the Frontier that is actually making this a difficult decision for me. The driving "feel". The hydraulic steering and suspension on the Frontier felt significantly better while driving. I felt numb and disconnected on the Chevy/GMC but loved everything else about them, especially the tech, interior quality, looks and performance. Since driving is what i'll be doing 99% of the time, I'm actually leaning toward the Pro4x IF I can get one at a reasonable price (around the $38k msrp) if not, I'm likely going with the z71. I'm also fortunate enough to have an M2 Comp as well when I want the luxury/performance so it's not needed in my work horse.

I do like the Nissan, but wow the AT4 really is a next generation pickup. Great review.

Congrats on the new truck, GM did a great job on the new model. I recommend the new TFL Gauntlet video, they test out the new Colorado. Have Pro4x my self

I’ve watched a couple of your videos. I enjoy them and I wanted to see about this cargo tray. Not sure what it cost but it had to be worth it after using it to put your revolver cover on!

Hello and Thank you for the great videos you post about the new 2023 AT4... any chance you can do a video comparing the 2nd gen CAnyon AT4 (2021-2022) to the new ? in a head-to-head review? I'm sure you can find a happy 2021-2022 GMC Canyon AT4 owner out here. I am the happy owner of a 2021 GMC Canyon AT4, but would love a comparison to help me and others decide if upgrading to the new model is worth it.

Best comparison video that I've seen so far. I can tell you I was leaning toward the Nissan but after your review and comments I may have to relook at the GMC. 2024 will be an interesting year as Ford ,Honda and Toyota are refreshing their midsize pickups, and from what I hear, possibly Nissan doing a refresh to keep up. I think the NA engine in the Nissan is a big plus since GM hasn't had a good history with their turbo engines. However it seems the market and manufacturers are leaning toward the 4 cyl turbo charged offerings in this category. I wished the Frontier would come out lifted from the factory, but I know I can add 1.5" to it with an aftermarket kit that's reasonably priced.

Does your tailgate storage leak? Going through the carwash mine took on water.

Good review Beautiful Truck BUT should we take a risk on a GM 4banger turbo over Toyota or Honda for long term reliability and their record of 200k miles or more??? and chance spending 50k (shopping mid-size currently drive a 2010 F150 with 165k flawless miles)

Loved the way the Frontier drove, when we did a test drive, but the new AT4 brings ventilated seats to the table... hardest decision of my life is coming soon haha.

Awesome. I like both trucks, but definitely prefer the new colorado, canyon. If not them I'd take the frontier over all the rest.

Im a 23 Pro4x owner but I must admit the new canyon is an awesome beast but I would wait atleast a year to buy it.

GREAT VIDEO i have a 22 GMC CANYON and I can tell first hand in the midsize truck, in my opinion nobody beats GMC

If I didn’t get a 2023 Tacoma i’d be picking up the new Canyon. Best new truck on the market. Congratulations on your purchase.

To help understand the seating room in the back, how tall are yall? Maybe i missed it if it was said.

In the midsize category bigger and wider isn’t always what people want. I like both trucks but I think the Nissan in Baja Storm pulls off the sand colour better. Equally equipped the Frontier is thousands less expensive and for that reason it’s a close call. Agree with the steering wheel being outdated on the Frontier. Smoother engine with the V6. Price wise this compares more with the Elevation

I just preordered the AT4 in Summit White

What mid size would all of you buy if you needed a 4 door with a 6'+ bed?

I think short unfit drives will have issues getting in and out of Canyon's/TB/ZR2. My father in-law in his late 70s really struggled getting in my TB compared to his Sierra.

How's the turning radius compared to the nissan?

I just bought a 2023 Nissan frontier SV, I like it for its simplicity and I don’t go off reading and I don’t need to haul more than 3 tons so it works for me. I also wanted a natural aspirating V6 engine and Nissan has the best hp for that, I do gotta say though the new Colorado and canyons are nice especially with the more powerful hp and torque. GM has upped their game and I don’t know if Toyota will reach those power train numbers with a turbo engine ( it will be close) but I think it will go more towards fuel efficiency with a hybrid. Although they could go compact for fuel efficiency and mid size for power who knows either way GM set the bench mark for mid size trucks.

Great video! Would love to see a comparison between the Ranger and the AT4!

Great video, but the pricing is not Apples to Apples, the AT4 is a lot more expensive than the Nissan.

$20k CAD more than the frontier for the pro4x vs at4 here in Canada.not sure if worth it's worth it.....I might hold on to mine little longer until all the competition is out such as the colorado and tacomas then I'll decide whether I would keep my nissan. So far after 1.5 years it's been very reliable and enough power for daily driving but the canyon at4 interior looks amazing!

Not apples to apples. If you have the Pro4X premium you have the utili-trac in the bed which makes tying things down easier. Also the Frontiers tailgate can sit up for doing plywood as well. Plus I prefer a NA V6 to a turbo 4. I bought a Boulder Gray Pearl Pro4X with premium package. I am happy with it. My next truck when my son gets this one will be a full size Sierra AT4.

GM has a hot product! I ordered a colorado zr2 and can't wait for it to arrive! As of right now, the new midsize truck king are these new canyons/colorados. Let's see how toyota and ford will respond! Competition is good for consumers!

Nissan should put the 5.6 v8 from the titan in the frontier as an optional engine. Would be a simple matter for the factory and instantly give the truck something to stand out in this class.

I have an AT4 coming. Sterling Metallic with the tech package, safety package, and tow package. With destination fee and before taxes is 52k. I had to order it because you can't find one in stock anywhere near me.

I build the Colorado and Canyon! It's good to see your enjoying the vehicle. Thanks for buying a GM vehicle! 😊

I hope the tailgate latches for storage are tough,i see shovels hitting those

I wanted to buy AT4 but I just found out it does not have a rear locker, only AT4X does. But Nissan has one. I still don't understand why AT4 does not offer that since it's an off-road-ready trunk. Beside that, I love everything else that AT4 offers.

So on the other AT4, you mentioned they got different packages. What packages were they? Or are you going to make a video about theirs too and compare the different packages? And wow that AT4 really moves!

Why does GMC have the 2012 radio antenna on that Truck?.

What is the fuel economy on these two trucks.

I mean that in a properly good way - “ conveying information “. Cheers

Why didnt the Nissan power brake for launch?

I think you should’ve compared the Canyon to a Frontier with the leather seats. also the Frontier doesn’t have a trailer brake which is a bummer.

The Nissan will outlast the gmc

The video title is a nightmare lol. How did no one proof read that? But solid video

Call me crazy but I've complained about everything being touch screen for so long I'm in love with the old school vibes of the Frontier, may buy a new 2024 Hardbody Edition

Wouldn’t the pro 4x be compared to the at4x?

Gmc its gonna kick all midsize trucks Nice video Btw!

A close friend of mine had to bail early (20k miles) on a previous gen Colorado due to transmission issues that the dealer couldnt fix. He bought a TRD pro Taco. The gm was a better truck in so many ways, but mechanically flawed. This was even pre COVID.

The Canyon is better but I just went GMC'S site and a similar feature to feature breakdown the AT4 comes in at just under 52k(51950)...PRO4X IS 47k.

I understand people want everything to be digital and all futuristic but the thing is that stuff breaks i dont want to have to adjust my ac by going in a touch screen and having to search through it. I just want a good truck that works and the frontier would be my choice especially when it comes to the aspirated v6.

I like the simplicity of the Frontier. And it has that V6.

I have a 22 4x4 s frontier, my second new nissan. My first was a 93 hardbody,with a manual. And i loved it. I think toyota is the only brand that still offers a manual transmission. Im not to fond of the new 9 spd,its clunky at low speeds,it seems to downshift to way to low of a gear when you dont want it to and doesn't when you do. It makes a bad tapping sound when cold started until the high pressure fuel pump oils up,that could be mistaken for a rod knock. The service blows in a bad way,and i paid way too much for it. The 93 base was 6999,and this one is worth about three times that. I can blame some on my impulsively, the rest i blame on nissan. Next time ill be going to bravo,which i should have done when the salesman from bravo yelled as i was getting robbed at casa nissan.

6 cyl vs 4 turbo, lets talk in 10 years

Do this review when they both have 30,000 miles on them.

Wonder how far you had to look for a frontier without a bedliner or the utility track system. Went to 4 different nissan dealers and did not find one without a liner. plus the canyon is loaded the frontier is not. plus I didnt know gm found a new way for #s to look on a dashboard. I own a loaded pro4x and it was still thousands cheaper. plus I dont think you should do a review when you own one of them. Turbo long term I dont know.

Both are great trucks. Price wise, the Frontier is more affordable (dealers work with you on price) and I prefer the adjustable bed rails over fixed points. Off road wise the Canyon is better though I prefer the manual locker in the Nissan over the GM G80. Reliability wise I give the nod to Nissan. I prefer the GM’s technology but there can be a lot of glitches with that technology. Again both are great and have their advantages.

i love the fact the Nisson is old school 6 cylinder.. The interior is clean with just enough tech so there would be not many issues..

Great video, but the all caps title is unnecessarily overly sensational. Just my 2C. Keep it up Todd!

The Canyon would be much better with simply having a grab handle on the a pillar to get in.

Should compare to my Titan, we can even line them up

Nissan Frontier is way better

The bigger and taller the midsizers, the more appealing they are. Why? Because they are now resembling the full sizers of the 90s but with better gas mileage and all the new techy things. Practicality has become in style again with all these aircraft carriers out there...

That particular trim level on that Pro4X is more like 42K not 50K

price comparison?????

They both have there strong and weak points, guess depends what you need it to do ... but I have to admit even in current market price point you can find decent fullsize trucks that offer far more capability in about same mpg ...

The sand color on the Nissan is much better looking. I may be getting one they are still available with extended cab long bed. The little shoe box bed wont work for me.

I would get the Colorado desert boss instead of I got an extra 60k laying around.

I own that very same frontier and color.. nissan updated the truck but they didn't update it. I feel nissan should do a nismo trim To compete with AT4, ZR2, and Tacoma I dont think it was a fair assessment.. at4 is wayyy above that pro 4x trim level

Canyon kills the Frontier. Only thing I like better about Frontier is color .I like the chocolate brown color a bit better

You’re becoming more of the “ Actor “ with every film ..

So, you had your 2023 AT4 and a 2024 AT4 from the local folks?

Only problem with the GMC is the auto start stop. I can't buy one if it's equiped with that.

"I don't want to be THAT guy" however you were most definitely "THAT guy" the whole video.

Pro4X comes stock with sunroof, surround camera, heated steering wheel and others things that are an option on the GM.

Really have no interest in any GM product but I'm curious how the Frontier stacks up. Seems it's better than the Toyota and the Ranger

Old technology=reliability. All new is a gamble. Love the Canyon, though.

The tie down system in the Frontier is the best in the segment IF you get the convenience package with the rails. If it's a base of the model it's crap.

Honestly I think the GMC looks better and is more refined. I would prefer the Nissan if I need to do truck stuff. The reliability is better in the Nissan. Also the steps can be removed from the rock rails on the Nissan to save your calves. When I priced both last week the GMC was $56,000 the Nissan was $50,000.

The one thing they Didn't tell you is There is about a ten thousand dollar difference in the price of those two trucks with the GMC being ten thousand dollars higher.

The electronics sadly, will be the downfall of the GMC, plus the 8 speed is flawed. My brother-in-law has a Cadillac that has spent more time in the dealership than driving with constant electronic gremlins. I personally, will hopefully be getting a Frontier. Maybe next year. I hope Nissan keeps this truck fresh and doesn't go as long without updating it.

After 17 years, Nissan still doesn't change the platform... Very lazy.

That GMC is bad ass but the reliability with the turbo on a 4 banger on a truck is worrisome just because its fast does not mean it is strong BIG DIFFRENCE Nissan all the way for reliability and price.

In the real world, you’re comparing a $52000 truck (GMC) to a $40000 truck (Nissan). Value comes to mind as well

Wait a minute, can't fool me... that's Tank Abbot a the end of the video!!! lol Anyways... Nissan has some serious funding issues and it shows in the interiors of their vehicles. Also I was impressed by the wifie's impressions on the GMC... most women would just say its cute! lol

So this video is about? *How GMC fully demolishes Nissan*

😂 That was funny it’s her truck. Have to give credit to the owner ❤

I've never seen a frontier without a bed liner and the utila-track.

Old man hattin’ 😂

The frontier is missing the utilitrack system. That being said I'd go gmc.
