    Nissan listening to what consumers are saying?? That’s just badass. The telescoping steering wheel adjustability and the better touchscreen interface are exactly what the frontier needed to be truly competitive in the midsize market. I hope they sell tons of them.

It was under powered, rode like a RAV4 and certainly felt like it was going to break apart if I pushed it a bit. The Transmission gear hunting was driving me insane. So now I have a 2024 Frontier Pro4 X and it could be the best truck I have ever owned.

      @@fun0537 Eco boost engines are prone to coolant leaks/over heating, carbon build up leading to weak performance. Turbo changers basically forced more air into small engines for power but that added complexity leads to faster wear and tear. Ford had been having major problems with their eco boost engines so nothing reliable there.
