Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In today's video, I review the 2023 Nissan Frontier Pro 4X. The Frontier really reminded me of a Toyota Tacoma, not only with its looks, but also with its feel and drive... BUT.. How does the Frontier Pro-4x stack up against the long time champ? Watch the video and find out for yourself..

Really shopped all the mid sized trucks on the market. Without a doubt, the Frontier hit a home run for me on every level. I bought the loaded Pro-4X that you previewed and absolutely love everything about it. Thanks for a great review. I can say at first, the heavy steering was a bit of a surprise, but after getting used to it, I prefer it.

We could maybe work you to make a device if you want to bring the vehicle to Fairmont, WV. We'd do it for free and pay you $300 for your time/expense because we could then offer the device for sale to others. We don't need to drive your vehicle. It usually takes about 8 hours to put together a prototype and test it. We do this over a 2-day period, usually noon - 5pm one day and 9am-noon the next. This gives us overnight to verify the vehicle sleeps correctly. We can provide transportation to/from a hotel, as needed. Let me know if you're interested. Or, some vehicles have come to us because someone posted on forums/Facebook/social media and found someone with the same vehicle closer to us and they brought the vehicle to us. Just throwing that out in case you participate in the forums and can help us and help yourself get the device sooner by getting someone to bring us a vehicle.

This is the best and most complete review of the Nissan Frontier Pro4x! Just picked up my fully loaded 2023 Boulder Gray Frontier Pro4x with the graphite colored bead lock type wheels a month ago and love it. The Frontier has enough tech that I'm happy with. Been a Toyota guy all my life and actually went and test drove a new Tacoma. Then went over to the Nissan dealership and test drove the Frontier and the rest is history. Awesome review, thanks for sharing!

Just so everyone is aware the aluminum plate in the front end is to help blend the front clip color scheme together. It will of course offer some offroad protection, but there is a true steel skid plate underneath it to protect the area under the engine bay.

Going off road guys please remove your front license plate and mounting bracket. It will get smashed off in no time. Nissan needs to come up with another plate mounting arrangement. Overall a great truck and fun to drive.
Will the non pro4x ride better on road? I don’t off-road more than driving on dirt roads a few times a year and want the most simple vehicle possible as a daily driver and to tow my race car. Frontier seems like the last simple vehicle for sale today.
Night and day difference with on road driving vs the Tacoma. Came from a Tacoma and the pro4x is so much more comfortable and easier to drive. Plus no transmission gear hunting unlike the Tacoma. And it come with a rear locker
Hydraulic assist PS is better for road feel. One reason why I love the Frontier. EPS is for cars. You lost me on the turn signal stalk. It's ok. And agree, too much is being put into the info screen, like Colorado has light controls in the info screen and takes a few pushes just to change the headlights. I call BS on that. As for heated wheel. I hate heated seats, never use them (and I live in Idaho), but a heated wheel...YES. Do love that no a cold morning. As noted before by someone else, there is a minor lumbar support for the driver.
Are you sure those are pen holders in the center console? The majority of Nissans I’ve driven have coin holders. Either way, really nice truck, and great review!!

Hey ,I like the Baja color
I''ve been thinking about the Frontier Pro4X because it provides a good combination of new and old technology. Not a big fan of these high compression turbocharged 4 cylinders that seem to be taking over the midsize truck market. Or large displays that provide all the information you need to safely operate the truck. But I've also read some not so flattering comments about direct injection engines, which this new 3.8 liter is. Any owners out there that can provide any reliability information on this, relatively new, engine?
@PAHROKKAL2
11 ай бұрын
Every modern engine produced in the last 10+ years is direct injected. There is nothing wrong with direct injection engines, they last just as long as port injection. The engine in this truck is not necessarily new either, it is based on the same v6 engines in the older frontiers, which are very reliable and proven engines.
I noticed the pause after "antiquated", he knew he meant acclimated. 😀

Love the truck but hate the boring color !
The rims being premium are very Cheesy , Fake Beadlocks Ill pass on that I don't do Fake anything , I test drove it and its actually really solid I really liked it but I ended up going with a Canyon AT4X still waiting for it to come, I wanted more Tech and a front Locker along with more clearance. I find myself off road allot and the side steps are also a NO NO if you want to be more serious off road they interfere with clearance I would rather a slider , Its a nice truck until you actually think about it and do your homework unless your just branded Nissan , also the cutouts at the front tires are Painted opposed to the cutouts on the ZR2/Canyon they are black plastic not painted , I feel like your just asking for it with the Frontier with the cutouts being painted like that. I like the analog gauge cluster but the info screen in the middle is to small , I also prefer physical buttons, I did notice the steering was not normal to me but I didn't put to much thought into what was bothering me about it , I think you would get used to it I wouldn't say its horrible but that its just different. I think Nissan will have a tough time when the 24 Tacos, 24 Colorado/canyons, 24 Rangers are all out in force but for now you can go the a Nissan dealer and get one, they have 4 on the lot near me. It did seem to me that I had a feeling that the truck needed an update but then you realize its a new truck.
