I've been driving my ProX for 6 months. I absolutely loved it until it completely died one day leaving me stranded in a parking lot all day with multiple error codes and a locked out transmission, engine not starting. 3 days at the dealer and all they did was clear codes and get it running again with no explanation of what happened. That was 3k miles ago and since then I've gotten ABS warning errors and glitchy performance from the infotainment system. Also the passenger door power lock doesn't correctly engage/disengage 100% of the time. Aside from these issues the truck handles well and is super comfortable on long drives. The engine has plenty of power for my needs and gas mileage is quite good for a truck (23 highway 19 around town). Adaptive cruise control works great on a flat freeway but slight grade changes cause the transmission to bump the rpms to ridiculous levels, like 5500rpm! Update 8/13/22: Upon purchase I loved my 2022 ProX. Powerful acceleration, solid handling, a thoughtfully designed and comfortable interior and handsome exterior styling made me feel like I had made the right decision. However, around 15k miles the issues began: glitchy infotainment system intelligent key errors phantom collision Braking a passenger door that properly locked only 50% of the time drivers seat changing position by itself with the car off complete breakdown with the inability to even shift to neutral for towing not once but twice leading to a transmission control module replacement at the dealer Randomly honking horn when going over potholes Engine gunning to 5-6k rpm during cruise control at the slightest incline My partner remarked she didnt feel safe in the car, fearing we would be stranded somewhere if we strayed too far from the city. Yesterday I traded for a Tacoma, even taking a financial loss, however I feel it was worth it to get out from under the Frontier. I am confident the bugs will be worked out by 2023 or 2024 but for the 2022 buyer beware.

Extremely comfortable, lots of power, diff lock is great, front could use a little more clearance, 1.5” would be perfect. Sits the same height as Tacoma stock.

I’ve owned a brand new 2018 Nissan Frontier Midnight edition for 5 years and it has never given me problems other than a sensor. Recently, I purchased a used 2022 Nissan Frontier Pro-X with only 15,000 miles on it and I can tell you that they have improved the truck from the previous in so many ways. I was hung up on whether I would buy a Tacoma or a Frontier but ultimately, I chose a Frontier because of the bad*** looks, modern tech, ride quality and the interior. The ultimate pros of the 2022 Frontier is: - Advanced Tech - Advanced safety features (front & rear safety braking) - Interior quality - Looks - Suspension - Minimal cabin noise - Comfortable seating position - Headlights and Taillights - Tires and rims - Reliable Engine - Big infotainment screen Cons: - Front hood doesn't open too far - window motor is slow - Old steering wheel (they took it from a pathfinder) - Outdated infotainment interface - Manual rear window - Large hood

I bought one of these last year, a loaded pro4X with about every option I think. The best looking truck I ever owned. After about a month when the novelty had worn off I started noticing things I didn't like, for instance, the steering was heavy, like not having power steering but without the road feel. Difficult to get in and out of. Weird placement of the center armrest. When going up even a very mild hill the transmission would kick down like three gears and the engine was screaming. The sales lady from the dealership called me one day to check and see if I was pleased with my purchase. I told her I loved everything about the truck except driving it. I told her if they got something in full size (Tundra or Titan) with low mileage that maybe we could make a deal. At that point I had put about 5k miles on the frontier. A week later she emailed me pictures of a Nissan Titan Midnight edition with very low mileage. I test drove it extensively and fell in love with it. We wound up swapping even. I think they probably got the better end of the deal but when all is said and done, I don't think I paid too much for my truck and 10k miles later, I still love it.

YOU have to buy a truck to really know it. Truck is top heavy on the old narrow frame even before you lift it be very careful with this truck with the off-road shocks on the highway - i almost flipped it in northern Arizona on a highway turn (I-17 to hwy 69 towards Prescott) and not at high speed. Total death trap and mine is NOT lifted. Nissan may be too lackadaisical to invest and retool the plant and make a wider newer ladder frame. They say the old frame was fine but the fact is they are too cheap to really make a new truck...just a new price !!! Pro x model is all over the highway when you hit uneven road very dangerous !!! Truck consists of a lot of cheap plastic components and the bead-lock looking rims are fake and for show only. They will not keep a tire on the rim at low tire pressure!!! No headroom. - hit a bump you will break your neck maybe. Nissan may be near chapter 11 (see their balance sheet) so they merely put lipstick on a old pig. Cosmetic changes only and the so-called warrior design so comical. No special patents here but simple and universal tech features like most all cars and trucks now have. Also - no such thing as zero gravity seats and gravity falls at 9.8 meters per second so its all spin with a outrageous price tag. Muscular raised hood means you cannot see the front of the truck unless you are 6 feet but if 6 feet no head room!!! no way to win here. No telescoping steering wheel and no tilt to level on seat pad. Back seats are a tiny joke. 5 foot bed is a shoe-box cant even sleep in it. Paint may peel off in sheets from the flexible plastic just like a 2009 Titan did. The truck is so small that dual climate control is another spin and does not work at all. If you have your dial on 100 and the other person has their dial on 0 then the air mixes and the average temp in the entire vehicle will be around 50. I used a thermostat. The truck is too small for any benefit of a dual climate control. Waste of money waste of time.. HP / Engine is excellent zero pause !!! when punched like a turbo waiting for hot exhaust gases but not needed on a toy truck like this and at 5 dollars a gallon your truck will spend a lot of time sitting in your driveway. Waste of power really even if gas was 2 dollars. At least the toy is not using a CVT transmission and I sure hope resale value is at least 30%. Worst of all, many dealers are overcharging as well and not allowing internet customers to see the window stickers for the two high trims. Go to a web site and click on the window sticker and it will in some cases generate a error. I checked multiple dealer web sites and got the same error. A sales person said this was because the vehicle was in transit for the pro model, but the S and SV model was also in transit and the window sticker could be viewed. They are only breaking the sql code which allows views for the pro models. Too funny to not let a customer under federal law see a window sticker. The roof is 4 inches too low for the extra 5 inches of length - if you are 6 feet or taller and driving into the sun and put the visor down you cannot see a thing without hunching forward and down. No headroom and no telescoping wheel makes this vehicle un-drivable (SP) for many people right from the get-go. Nissan had 17 years to redesign a completely new truck here ????? To make matters even worse, the 2022 Frontier PRO 4X does not even have 4WD mode settings such as snow ice sand rain etc. Even the Jeep Cherokee 2021 Latitude LUX 4WD has various mode settings, and it is made in America. The only conclusion is that Nissan may be close to chapter 11 and not willing to build a real truck here so yes they have technology but if they are teetering near bankruptcy, they are trying to profit without a serious investment here in a 2022 Frontier. It will not work. As the 2022 Frontier model fails it will simply push Nissan closer tho Chapter 11. Watch the debt trade... In summary ... The obvious sign of a near bankrupt company (beyond the balance sheet and observing the bonds trade) is no diverse truck options yet Nissan spins it as if they are doing you a favor. The narrative has failed. No engine choices. no new ladder frame, No manual stick shift, no 6 foot bed on a PRO trim. Why a PRO trim without 4WD and why a PRO trim without a rear locking differential??? On and on... Nissan may be too lackadaisical to properly invest and retool their manufacturing plants to build a real truck with multiple options. This concludes my subjective and disappointing view of this 2022 Frontier truck and what COULD HAVE BEEN a great company. Nissan will not take away any market share in the midsize truck market.
