    I like the review (and turning radius is definitely the worst thing). But, as a 2022 frontier owner, I'm frustrated that off-road youtube reviewers don't understand the running boards. They're actually dual purpose rock rails with removable steps attached. If you're going to off-road this thing, take the steps off and the rock rail will help protect the truck without the loss of clearance.

    I love the infotainment display, it's not overbearing, isn't required for most functions, and allows for still a majority of tactile buttons to be used over the touch screen. Very practical and a lot safer than some of the infotainment displays that displace safer buttons while driving. Have to give Nissan props for that.

I'm not concerned about backup cameras or the most up-to-date technology. It's a pickup truck not a luxury vehicle luxury vehicle. If you want the finest luxuries get a sports car.

Bought it with 7k miles, now I have about 21k after about 2 years of ownership, there is a reason NISSAN stuck with the same platform for 15 years and then barley changed their motor, to make it even better. I always have said the Frontier is the average man’s Tacoma, the Frontier really gained some traction with the new 22 and put it back on the map, great video man

    I now have a 2021 Frontier. Had a 2010 frontier for 10 years. They are known for a poor turning radius. TFL did a test and a 4WD F-150 had a significantly tighter turning radius, and it tied a 4WD RAM 2500. Still love my truck. I had my 2010 off road numerous times and it ALWAYS took me wherever I wanted to go. I was tail end charlie on a group of 4x4 trucks. I kept having to stop at the bottom of an uphill to allow the guys in front of me to make it up the muddy roads, as even with all the latest tech ( I had the oldest vehicle in the 2010 ), they were spinning wheels and slinging mud everywhere. I was worried someone would get stuck in front of me. Once they got out of the way (barely in some cases), I'd kick it into 4 low, get it moving, and let it tootle on up the hill w/o all the wheel spinning. And I didn't even have the rear end locked. Surprised a guy that took that "road" regularly. I wouldn't get the running boards either. Those are for mall crawlers, not off road. I'd go with after market REAL rock sliders instead. Even with the steps off, they still reduce the clearance where honest to God rock sliders leave it almost the same. One of my son's has a lifted 2019 4WD F-150. We went elk hunting here in Colorado, and he was shocked at how sure footed that little truck was. I went places w/o question that he admitted he'd have had second thoughts about taking his truck. Never had to engage the locker. My oldest son was so impressed by my old Frontier that he bought a 2022 when they came out.

    having a huge truck in the backroads is a hit and miss due to the space you need to get thru some areas with heavy bushes or groups of small trees and giant dirt pot holes and the worst: a 3ft mound with rocks that can take out your transmission. A smaller trucks light weight makes those problems more bearable, where in a larger truck youd get stuck in the mountains due to weight issues.

    I have the 2023 Baja Storm 4X and I love it! I had a 2002 Silverado 4x4 for 20 years and it was in my opinion irreplaceable. I was wrong, my son has that truck now and I have this. My only complaint is that there is NO telescoping steering wheel (I am 6'4"). But hey small price to pay for a non turbo charged modern V6. I despise turbos as I see them come through my shop constantly for overheats, block issues etc... Glad I was able to snatch this little beauty up. I'm almost 50 now so this will be the last truck I buy. It will become an heirloom IMO.

    Solid 2-man crew/one man show video content. From my visits to Oregon mostly and some Washington State they go overboard there on stripping large sections of forest where it looks like a small nuclear weapon went off or a 5 mile wide F-5 tornado came through. I found it tragic and disturbing the stripping of the land/resources.

It has been a great truck with minimal repair issues but about time to upgrade. Likely will wait for the ‘23 model…. leaning Frontier but will consider Ranger and others. Most of my off-pavement is forest service roads (some pretty rough) or deep soft sand (air down to 18psi). No rock crawling. Appreciate your review with the good, bad, and ugly.

    Great video, especially, the off-reading portion. I found the use of the 4L, locker, etc buttons more understandable in this vehicle than just about any of the others I’ve viewed w/all the optional driving modes. Maybe its me, maybe its hard to translate in video (despite yours & others best attempts), maybe this old school just works well, maybe even better than the tech….Nissan needs to improve the turn radius though. It’s so important on the trails to have a tight radius. Heck, in the urban jungles I navigate, the super tight radius of my 6th gen OB is phenomenal & required!

    I disagree the older stuff works better. Many people fear change and simply do not understand. I live in Wyoming and I had a 12 Tacoma TRD off Road. I switched to a Ranger and the primary reason was the turbo. At elevation it does not lose power like a NA engine. Also the ten speed and torque is just awesome . I have no problem with Nissan or Toyota, but I will say there isn't a chance in hell I would ever go back to NA engine. I am legit getting 24 miles a gallon and the powertrain is just perfect. If I am paying 50K for a vehicle I don't want to buy a 1997 Nissan hardbody tech.

It is annoying that only the drivers window is automatic, and the cameras are terrible as you mentioned. Just a pro tip?

    I’ve purchased a 2023 Pro 4x and love it. First Nissan truck but have owned several Ford (F150, Rangers) and Chevy. Being near Sundance Ski Resort at high elevation wasn’t a good place for you to test 0-60. I do have the side steps and got them because my wife likes them. She’s 5” 2in. They are fairly simple to remove using an Allen wrench… so I’m told…haven’t done it yet. So if you like the look of them or someone shorter could use them, it shouldn’t be a problem taking them off when needed for off road adventures. I also added 33” wheels which gives some additional clearance.

It is a truck that does everything well. My truck does about 17 MPG (with all the work-related equipment on board) which is rather low compared to the other trucks - but has good power and most of all, very good AC. My work colleague has 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport which we use for work - in comparison, Tacoma gets a bit better gas mileage, and has much better infotainment screes (older model has very old info system) but in every other aspects, Pro-4X is better in terms of power, comfort, and drivability. This new model is an excellent choice.

    I love my '22 SV 4x4. I don't really care what's more up to date or objectively "better" now or 5 years from now because I plan on owning it a long time. If you're in the market, just go and drive options to find what you like. I enjoy how the Frontier drives with the hydraulic steering and smooth V6 power and the tech is good enough for me. I can see the appeal in other models but I just had a preference overall, some of yall are really toxic about really trivial things.

    The potholes are really bad now after the snow melt. We were at that location last week and I am pretty sure we gave way to you on your way down. We drove to the gate and then under those powerlines. I took a great picture of my wife as she sat on the rock the last power tower you can walk to. I have been mapping the the area around us both and have found so much more challenging obstacles for you to take on. That spot you go to is not as much fun anymore. Hit us up I can share some trails we have found near us.

    Tacoma is good for low speed or off road. Just had a Tacoma TRD for a rental and trying to get that truck up to 80mph was a lot. And it didn't have the power for driving up and down mountain highways. And is uncomfortable for someone that is over 6'. I personally like the 4Runner more, but it needs to have the powertrain and transmission updated.

    First: great review as always, but I wish you would spend more time on how the back seats configure for a load. Those of us who want to put dogs or ice chests back there want to know. Also when giving EPA mileage could you also quickly add some competition ratings? "Frontier 4Pro-X gets XXX and the Toyota TRD Pro gets XXX. That context would be helpful. Second: Nissans have always been "old school." Which I like. But sometimes stuff gets left out that would be helpful. (Fully adjustable steering wheel for example). The idea is to go for value, but then add on a bunch of fluff for the dealer to mark up. Burt, you get it if want it. (BTW the side steps are removable, leaving just the rails.) In this case Nissan mostly succeeds. It looks great, but I wish you could get the the Pro4-X with a 6' bed and a smaller back storage area (no "crew cab")

    @@johnnyreb9398 US buyers are obsessed with crew cab trucks. Nissan is simply offering what the vast majority of buyers want. If they offered the king cab pro4x, they'd probably only sell a few hundred a year, so it's just not worth it for them. Also, the Canadian market doesn't get 4x2 models, so Nissan is streamlining their offerings in all markets to cut cost. Nissan is still struggling financially and can't afford to do the things other more profitable brands can do. That's why the Frontier only got a heavy refresh instead of a full redesign.

    Cameras: Better to have something that is not 100% than nothing. I don't remember if your 4R had a front camera system or not, but mine does not. And cresting a hill or even just going up a steep hill, you are blind. Not unlike old school wheeling days. But w/out a spotter, it is no fun. Steps: Worst thing in the world to put on a 4x4 truck of any make unless all it is going to do is drive on the paved roads. Proper sliders however, best 1st upgrade one should do if you plan on OR wheeling. I was impressed with the capabilities of this truck. Even w/out the rear locker, it managed to do something old school open diffs. would have struggled on. I had an 86.5 Nissan Hardbody SEV6 4x4 and as incredible as it was OR, there were times I desperately needed a rear locker. Off camber and I was SOL. Like you said, having a rear locker would have made that truck nearly unstoppable for the times. Which leads me to the final agreement/observation about turning radius, I tried out a 1987 extended cab of the same make and it was awful! I had exactly the same thoughts you did, feels like I was trying to do a u-turn on a single lane road in a long bed F350. And apparently, they have never remedied that problem. lol Thanks for this review. Was informative. I see I am not missing anything.
