Just traded a 2019 Tacoma for a new Frontier Pro 4X. I switched to Toyota from three Nissan's in a row mostly because I liked the looks. Was very unhappy with Toyota's performance, mileage, and the fact it left me stranded in the heat three times in a row (vapor lock due to a poorly designed fuel pump). Also the ride and shifting were always choppy. The new Frontier is largely a Toyota clone in the exterior looks department. Peformance-wise, it's miles ahead in ride and power. The back seat still isn't useful for much more than kids and groceries, and I'm still learning to navigate the tech features, but I haven't found a bell or whistle missing. If you're looking for a mid-sized pickup, drive this one last, you're going to be at the dealership until they hand you the keys.

I looked at Chevy Colorado, Toyota Tacoma, Honda Ridgeline, Ford Ranger, before buying the Nissan Frontier Midnight Edition. All of the midsize trucks I looked at had useless bells and whistles (that added to the overall price of the truck) except the Nissan Frontier. It's a TRUCK. It drives like a truck, rides like a truck, has the power of a truck. It does have a few nice things tech wise, but just enough and nothing useless.

The Frontier is packed with features and has the looks to match. Compares very favorably to the new GMC Canyon Denali and is much higher build quality than my 2018 Tacoma SR5 which I gave to my son. Doors sound solid when shutting and I love the acceleration of the V6. The transmission doesn't seem confused like on the Tacoma. So far, on my highway commute I'm getting 25.4 mpg. Not too shabby!

I got the 2023 Pro 4x withe the Pro premium, technology, Pro convenience and towing packages and I’m loving it so far. The ride is very good for a four wheel drive truck. I’ve been getting 19 mpg combined and 23 on the highway. As I said in my review title, it does everything well. It’s got great acceleration and l really like the way it looks. The Fender stereo sounds great and everything in the cabin is laid out well. Could not be happier with my purchase. Don’t pay attention to the major car review sites, they don’t like anything that isn’t a turbo. There are plenty of other reviews out there that really like the Frontier, I highly recommend the Pro 4x.

Don't listen to the "expert" review on this vehicle. I just finished taking my Frontier on a 5,000 mile road trip out west through 10 different states. Up and down mountains, through windy roads, and some rough unpaved roads, and it performed great. Here are some key highlights about the truck: 1. This might be the most comfortable vehicle I've ever drove in. I drove 15 hours straight with it a few days and never felt tired or sore. But if you're tall, I could see the lack of telescopic steering wheel being a problem. But the seat itself is comfortable and sits up high enough that your knees don't get sore. 2. The V6 performance is great. This thing has the acceleration of a spots car. I once passed 4 vehicles going up a steep 2-lane mountain pass no problem. 3. Fuel economy was pretty good for a truck of its size - I averaged about 23 mpg on my road trip and that was mostly driving over 5 mph over the speed limit. I once averaged 30 mpg on a 300 mile stretch through Utah, and 25 mpg on a 300 mile stretch through Wyoming. 4. The controls for the climate control and stereo are in good placement, and this is where the "expert" is most wrong. Many other new vehicles only have their climate control and stereo controls on the touch screen, but this truck has actual dials for them, which makes it easy to change while driving, compared to other new vehicles that only have them available on the touch screens. 5. The one thing that concerned me the most about the truck was the 9-speed transmission, as that many gears seems overkill, but that's just the way all vehicles are being built now. And compared to other new Fords and Toyotas I drove, it actually shifts really well and doesn't bounce between gears that much. As long as you maintain the same speed with city driving, it will usually hold the same gear driving in the city. And on the highway, with leaving it in cruise control, it almost always stays in the 9th gear, the only exception being if you are going up steep inclines, then it will down shift which is normal for any vehicle. 6. The steering is a bit heavy, but I actually like that compared to other vehicles with lighter steering, as it makes highway driving easier. It is a great vehicle to take on road trips - smooth ride on the highway, decent fuel economy, comfortable, lots of room. If you are thinking about buying one I wouldn't hesitate. And it's a great value for the money - starting price was only $36k and by the time I got the features I wanted, it only cost me $40k brand new, which is cheaper than what you can get most lightly used trucks for.

Nissan dealers are discounting these now. Frontier was remodeled in 22MY (first sold in 21). Its competitors are all going to be newer in a few months. Dealers know they’ll have to be the bargain to sell. And it is! I paid several thousand less than every other comparable apples to apples midsize out there. And got a decent rate too (less than CPI). So it is now for sure the most affordable body on frame. It’s also a nice truck. Great to drive. Heavy old school steering’s feels real nice. Solid power train. Engine is powerful enough. Transmission is smooth. In 24MY I think it is also the smallest body on frame truck in width and length which comes in handy in tight spots. Tech is enough. It has Apple CarPlay. The latest and greatest safety features like emergency pedestrian braking. If you want your screen to take over the interior though this is not the truck. Downsides. MPG is avg 20 (manually calculated). I’d probably have gotten 22-23 in Ranger 2.3. Steering is a plus for me, others might not like it. It’s back to bring the old midsize in 24MY. So it’s not the cool kid anymore.

I have a 2023 Pro 4x. I love the truck. I like its simplicity, hydraulic power steering that feels heavy but in a good way. Seats are comfy, the cabin is quiet and it has enough tech to keep it modern. The 3.8 V6 is quick enough for my needs, the 9 speed is smooth. I have added an oil catch can as the engine is direct injection.No telescopic steering wheel, rear seats are too upright, rear and side camera quality are just ok. All said, it is a great truck and enjoy everytime I drive it. Off road it is very capable and competent. The TSB bulletin update for the transmission sorted the harsh shifting.

Love my Frontier Pro 4x. The V6 has good power and acceleration. The gas mileage has been about 20MPG average. I love the looks of the truck and have had a few people say they like it as well. The interior is well laid out and the Fender stereo is very good, highly recommend. Wish it was a little bigger inside but it does fit easily in my garage.

Superb design, Engine has the strongest HP vs competitors, strong towing capacity, 9 speed transmission is super calibrated and smooth, steering wheel is tougher like a real truck and high speeds feels very comfortable. Interior design is mix of modern and old, cabin is quiet, very quiet. Nissan brought a great Frontier in 2022 and in my opinion not well reviewed because majority of people want to pay for Ipads and Speaker in their cars (cheap chinese stuff that is overpriced!). If you want a mid size TRUCK, old school modernized, hydraulic steering wheel, go and test drive the Frontier. You will confirm it is not honestly ranked as deserved. The only one to be compared is Tacoma (Hi-Tech) and the NEW Ford Ranger. Chevy is below.

Really like the truck, hope the 9 speed transmissions holds up well. I pull a 20 foot boat with it with no problems. I like the old style power steering gives it a truck feel when driving. Biggest issue is trying to figure out how to turn off rear emergency brake when putting boat in the water (lol). Not a real big fan of the GDI wished they would have installed extra injector to keep carbon from building up.

Comfortable seating with a lot of get-up and go. Much better than my previous 2018 Silverado 1500 LT. Smooth ride and shifting in 9 speed automatic. Had no problem hauling 6,500 pound RV. With a mix of highway and city driving I average 20 MPG. Trackson on gravel and dirt roads makes it fun to drive.

I downsized from a 2020, 4 wheel drive 3.5 ecoboost F150 that was giving me all sorts of IWE problems. The Ford yielded much better fuel mileage than the Frontier. I drive very conservatively and hand calculate my fuel mileage. F150 averaged 20.5; Frontier 18.4. I struggle to get 400 miles out of the Frontier's 21.1 gallon tank. Out of the F150's 36 gallon, I was able to achieve 700+ miles with relative ease which was fantastic since I like to road-trip. I'm 6'5", so take this next part with a grain of salt: On the test drive of the Frontier, I found the seats to be relatively comfortable for a pickup truck. I quickly learned that on trips of over 150 miles, I need to invite my chiropractor along with me because my lower back is aching pretty good afterwards. I've tried adjusting the seat up and down, forward and backward as well as the manual adjustable lumbar (which is a joke at best) and I cannot get comfortable in this truck on longer drives. The truck looks cool, which is about its only redeeming quality. I do like how the LED headlights stay on when you activate the turn signal. Most manufactures have the headlight on the particular side your active the turn signal go off to make way for the turn signal usage itself. When the turn is complete, the turn signal goes off and the headlight comes back on. That drives me nuts but the Nissan Frontier is one of the only vehicles that doesn't do that. Good job Nissan. The interior layout is decent. I like the mix of old school analog and physical buttons meshed nicely with the touch screen. As for the wireless Apple Carplay: it connects when it wants to. When you desperately need it to display apple maps, of course it won't connect then. Another knock is the front window defrosters. In the wintertime, you'll need to have the truck warm up for about 15 minutes before you're able to either see anything or adequately scrape the window off of snow and ice. For a truck with an MSRP of $44,445, you'd think you'd get some heated seats, but you don't. Driving impressions: mostly good, sometimes terrifying. On the interstate with adaptive cruise, with the slightest incline, the transmission downshifts 3 gears, screams at 6000 RPM just to maintain speed/gain back the 2 MPH it initially loses. That can't be good for the drivetrain long-term. Also, around a corner with a bump at any speed over 20 MPH, if you hit said bump on a rear tire, the entire ass end of the truck kicks towards the outside of the turn ever so slightly Nissan also did a good job in the bed. DO NOT GET THE FACTORY SPRAY ON BEDLINER. It can easily peel off on brand new trucks. My truck didn't come with one. I paid the extra coin for LineX. The bed itself is very usable and not full of any unnecessary gimmicks like other manufacturers have. The tailgate doesn't always want to lock when you lock the truck. The physical key for the tailgate works every time, though. Now to the fun part: My 2023 Frontier with 1848 miles on it (at the time) wouldn't start when I was leaving work one Monday afternoon. The key fob unlocked the doors, I got in, pushed in the brake pedal, pushed the button and the dash lit up as normal, the fuel pump audibly cycled and the truck acted like it was on... but the engine never even attempted to turn over. Long story short, I had an awful customer experience with Nissan overall in terms of not letting me have a loaner vehicle for a brand new truck that wouldn't start. The dealership I bought it from did me good, but the one it was towed to initially (closest proximity to breakdown) raises my blood pressure just thinking about the situation... but this isn't a review about Nissan's questionable business practices... this is a review about the pickup truck, which I was without for a total of 9 days (without a loaner vehicle for 2 of those). The skinny of said issue was this: the truck somehow disconnected itself from the key fob for the starting mechanism. I was still able to lock and unlock the truck (remote start did not work either). Nissan replaced the TCU for it and reprogrammed it and the truck still didn't start for them. That dealership contacted the Nissan engineering team and they somehow had to reprogram things differently; then it worked! Overall: I do 100% regret this purchase. I will be trading the Frontier in within the next year of writing this review (7/28/2023) on either a Toyota or Subaru product

Traded in a 2011 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab since I didn't need a full size truck any more. The Frontier handles and rides very well for a pickup and the 3.8L engine has plenty of power, even if you have to wind it out a bit. I was a bit leery about the 9 speed tranny but it has worked fine with only a hint of rough shifting in very cold temperatures. Still, would've liked it if Nissan offered a manual. Gas mileage is pretty much what the EPA rating says. Not bad for a truck. Accessories I've added include a bed extender and a hard tonneau. Both were easy to put on. Only minor nits to pick. Some of the controls are in odd or random out of the way locations. Not a big deal; No vehicle is perfect. I've gotten used to it. Overall, a really nice truck. No problems whatsoever after 22000 miles.

2023 Pro4X is an upgraded version of Nissan’s trusty mid-sized truck. Originally under powered in earlier models (I previously owned a 2016 Pro4X), the 2023 model introduces an improved appearance and more powerful 6 cylinder engine with 310 horsepower. The bulkier hood and engine compartment provides a more traditional (or proper) truck appearance on par with competing class, more capable than a Ford Ranger and of better value than the Toyota Tacoma. Only downside is most 2023 models were manufactured during covid supply crunch resulting in Pro4X deliveries lacking in planned accessories such as having tow harness and hitch removed so as not delay delivery. Normally such accessories were standard on 2023 models. Seemingly Nissan changed its business model in 2024 and newer. Disappointingly, most accessories even on the Pro4X line - which was originally the top line model with most accessories considered standard - now has every accessory considered an upgrade, making 2024 and newer models a degraded value as compared to the 2023 model. Otherwise Nissan’s prized Pro4X rides and feels great. Save your money and buy a lightly used 2023!

I look at all of the new midsize trucks and came back to buy the 2023 Pro4x. Great truck so far, have over 6,000 miles on it. Just feels like a truck, Like the hydraulic steering, took a little while to get used to. I think for the money this truck has a lot of value and was able to get over 4,000 off the sticker. Try that at a Toyota dealer. Buy the way most of the Tacomas l looked at were over MSRP, without the options I wanted.

I have now owned my 2023 Nissan Frontier for almost a year. I'm one to read reviews on anything that I purchase. The frontier had mixed reviews with the newer engine to the mpg. I figured 24mpg on the highway wasn't terrible for a V6 and most of my commute is on the interstate. This truck has exceeded the 24 mpg, I average 27-29 mpg! The ride quality is good and passengers in the rear say it's comfortable. There are complaints about the controls and things being dated. I have found everything easy to use and not too difficult to navigate. For what the truck has to offer and the price, it was hard to pass it up.

I had 3 prior SV Frontiers. This 2023 SV is not as good, no heated seats, no rails in the pickup bed for tie downs and adjusting the bed extender, in fact no way to put in a bed extender. Smaller engine and you can hear and feel it. The interior dimensions are a little smaller, the seats are narrower, not as much room behind the back seats to store things. My 3 prior Frontiers ran for over 250,000 miles with not much trouble. I think the 3 prior Frontiers handled weight in the bed much better. I do like the exterior styling better and it does get better gas mileage, but that does not matter if it is not as good of a truck. The old Frontiers were truck, trucks. This is not. If this 2023 Frontier does not go the distance I won't buy another. So you pay a LOT more and get less.

I took one out for a test drive and here are my thoughts. I rides, well...like a truck. Most new trucks like RAM have a very smooth ride almost like a car. The Frontier has a harsh and choppy feel to it. If you like that feeling and plan on doing some off-roading than it might be for you. If you are looking for the utility of a truck but a smooth and comfortable ride than this is not the truck. Also, as the other reviews state, the back seat is cramped.

Trades a 2020 Tacoma for a 2023 Frontier SV. SV was more solid & didn't 'hunt' for gears like the Tacoma but fewer standard features & worse gas mileage. Traded into a 2024 Nissan Frontier Pro 4X. Best car seat around, like a couch. 4wd adds extra pounds which is noticeable during acceleration. Averaging 21.9 mpg around town & 24.8 on a 500 mile freeway trip. 2024 steering feels lighter than 2023. Lease deals are good with payments about 1/2 price of a buy payment. Color choices include a dark green & a burnt desert sand if you're tired of silver, white & black. I also have a 2011 Frontier base model which is gas & go for 80,000 miles. Mid size trucks are pricey but I don't miss trying to park my full size truck in a narrow mall spot. Depreciation is a bit worse than some other brands. I feel safe driving it, solid unit. Only 3k miles on my 2025, so far so far, tends to "hunt" for gear between 20 & 35 mph.

I was going back and forth between the Frontier and Tacoma. Decided to go with the 2023 Frontier and I have no regrets. Great truck to drive. Yes, the steering feels heavy but it hasn't been a problem. Has all the features I wanted and actually gets better fuel mileage then what the sticker says. I'm averaging 25-26 on the highway. Just did a 1550 mile trip from Florida to North Georgia and back and it did great. Comfortable and had zero issues.

Woke up Monday morning kind of irritated I had 2 cars on my insurance policy . So on a whim I went on Car Max and got an offer for my 2024 Toyota RAV 4. Shocked when they offered me $32,000 for a car that had almost 12,000 miles and paid $34,675 to purchase the new RAV4. Thanks for the Tariff war , no doubt that increased the trade in.Right then and there I decided I wanted to get a Pickup Truck to tow my 25 Foot Panga Boat. My 2017 Kia Sedona towed it well , just worried my $17,000 investment in that Minivan would be lost if towing that 25 footer damaged the frame. Who knows ? And I wanted the automatic braking that the Sedona didn't have. So I looked around for a used Pickup Truck on Car Max. Looked at the Ford F150, the Ram 1500,Toyota Tacoma, even at the Honda Ridgeline. The F150 with it's Turbo scared me , wasn't fond how the Ram 1500 looked. Looked kind of Bloated and rounded. The Tacoma was either a Turbo new or had less HP on the used ones . Wanted an engine over 300 HP and no Turbo's. Came across the Nissan Frontier on Nissans website and really liked the boxy shape ,that it looked like a real truck . Wanted a naturally aspirated motor and only Nissan and Honda offered those in the Mid size segment. So I traded in my Rav 4 for $32,000 and purchased a 2023 Nissan Frontier Pro 4 x in Blue Pearl for $34,900 on Car Max. Had 19,900 miles on the odometer.Nice clean , almost perfect body , just the truck bed was all dirty with scratches . I might pay $600 to have a new bed liner sprayed in , it'll cost $125 or more for a bed liner mat . so $475 extra for something more durable and it has a lifetime warranty . The Frontier is the best looking truck on the road in my opinion. Gas mileage is about the same as my 2017 Kia Sedona. Good MPG on the highway, so so MPG in the city . I tested the truck the other day. Filled up the tank and drove 72 miles in a loop going 55 MPH. Drove 85 percent highway and 15 percent city. Went back and filled up the tank and needed 3 gallons to fill it back up. Calculated 24 MPG.Gas had 10 percent ethanol. When I put the torneau hard top bed cover on the back I'll get even better MPG.Some people claim they get 3 extra MPG's with the back cover on. Might even use Lucus Fuel Injector cleaner every fillup for more MPG. I drove along the beach road /highway on the south shore of Long Island and as soon as I got on that highway going west I saw the MPG number on the gauge drop pretty quickly as I drove with a crosswind blowing in from the ocean.Didn't have the bed covered. Drive 55 MPG and you'll get good gas mileage. I coast a lot when I see red lights off in a distance. Amazing I got an almost top of the line Frontier trading in the Toyota Rav4 , ended up paying $2900 out of pocket extra after the trade in at Car Max. $1700 for a 75,000 mile warranty . The Frontier is so much better than the RAV4. More comfortable, 10 x better radio with navigation. Reviews say the Frontiers radio is so so, It's the best radio I ever had in a car, the navigation map is fantastic. I wanted to punch the Toyota Rav's radio, the worst radio I ever had to deal with. About that water pump they have in the new 3rd generation Frontier. It's very costly to replace, 10 hours of dealership labor. But from what I read, very few water pumps ever fail. They consider it a lifetime part and most people will have sold their truck well before it fails. Realize you're paying a lot less for this truck new or used compared to other trucks. You might have to replace the water pump or you might not. Very few ever fail. If your timing chain goes you could do both the timing chain and water pump to save. But is a truck with 250,000 miles worth it to save ??? That's 20 years of driving for me on Long Island driving 12,000 miles a year. People complain how heavy the steering wheel is to turn, If I didn't read about that I'd never have noticed anything difficult with the steering. Seemed alright to me. I'm 6-6 and with the front seat all the way back it's very comfortable sitting in the Frontier. People complain about the steering wheel not being able to telescope, CRAZY !, I'm tall and it's very comfortable turning the steering wheel even when the seat is fully back . Nice wide window sill on the door where you can rest your arm while steering. So comfortable for a tall person and I weigh 260 pounds and I'm somewhat wide bodied. Driver comfort and front passenger comfort in the front is very good. More than enough leg room for tall people in front. The rear seats and leg room are alright. I'm 6-6 and can sit back there if there's a short person up front.I might have to spread my knees on each side of the seat if the seat went back further.Wish they had the on/off feature that would turn the truck on and off at traffic lights . Would cut gas consumption driving on Long Island where every 500 feet there's a traffic light. Nissan doesn't build a lot of quality cars, but they build quality trucks. The V6 310 HP motor will last a long time. The 9 speed transmission was used by Mercedes Benz. First time I ever owned a pickup truck and I'm 61. Love the look of this truck , the dark wheels look so much better than the silver wheels you see on the lower trims. Side mirrors are kind of small, wish they were bigger. Wish Nissan just made a truck a few inch's longer and had more legroom in the back. Probably did nothing to fix that because they want people to buy the more expensive Titan. The 5 foot bed is more than adequate for my needs, enough room to transport a 6 foot lawn tractor in the back. Saved at least $8000 buying used , with the trade in there wasn't much sales tax to pay and the Car Max warranty covers my truck until 75,000 miles. Nice little deal!!!!!!!!!
