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

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!
