    Incredible review!! Clearly spoken and easy to understand, no overuse of truck culture vernacular that loses potentially first time or casual pick-up truck owners like myself. No stupid jokes and annoying/loud music, THANK YOU! The information presented was tangible, applicable and easily translated into how and an owner could determine if it met their requirements in a vehicle. I hope you continue to do these reviews with the same quality. I was just down at Nissan a few days ago looking one of these PRO-4X's over and this review really helped out. Just wish that touch screen was a little bigger.

    I like the looks and I don't mind the plastic parts because they are easy to clean! I just traded in a 2016 Chevy Colorado in to get a new 2017 Frontier Pro-4x and I love it! I had the Chevy Colorado for a year and had certain electronic issues with the steering and air conditioning. The Frontier has heated rear mirrors, a moon roof and backup sensors while the Colorado doesn’t offer these options. The Frontier's 4-wheel drive switch is well placed on the right side away from the knees and has an indicator in the dash panel while the Colorado does not. I did lose several mpg with the Frontier and have a smaller 6” display screen instead of an 8” one, but so far the navigation system hasn’t froze up on me like the Colorado did. I regret not looking into the Frontier before I bought the Colorado.

I believe I got a great deal. This is my 3rd Frontier! I've never had any major repairs on any of them. Can't beat that.

    I'm on O'ahu and I'll simply say: a 2000 Tacoma 4x4 is listed for 29k....
    I haven't seen ANY truck that offers all this for that affordable price. Sunroof, roof rack, bed cover, and 4x4, all for much less than most Tacomas. The only downside I cna see is resale value and no crawl control.

    Two downsides of this truck:
    -Gas mileage
    -Turning radius(so bad to the point it’s comparable to the Peterbilt 348 that I drive for work).
    Otherwise this is a great truck. 13 years of production without significant updates means proven reliability and low repair cost. Dirt cheap to buy, little much to run, but dirt cheap to fix.

    I think you are the first reviewer to mention that the tires are 75 series. The website doesn't seem to mention that either. In addition to 75 series tires, other things on my want list (for a pickup or utility vehicle) are: manual transmission; 2-speed transfer case; manual transfer case linkage; deep dish steel wheels; manual windows, manual door locks and manual seat adjustments.
    Do you happen to know how many of the things on my want list are available on the SV V6? How many are available on the PRO 4-X?
    My wife and I have taken our 4-cylinder base model '89 Isuzu Trooper and our 4-cylinder base model '99 Jeep Wrangler on roads that we suppose were at the absolute limit of those vehicles' capability but we don't drive off road so I appreciate that the PRO 4-X doesn't seem to have any decals that say, "OFF ROAD".

      Roger Metzger manual 6spd tranny in sv as well as pro4x is not only available, but awsome (I have one in my pro4x and love it)... manual seats and Windows are available, but I font know if you can get the manual Windows with a V6. 2 speed T case is standard for 4x4, but it's electronic, not manual. Hope this helps.

    ANCIENT man, we used to rent these things out like crazy then the Colorado hit and that became the main "smaller truck" rental. the worst thing about this truck had to be the sound dampening erm no maybe the on road ride quality where you get chatter and bounce (unless you have a good 500 lbs in the back). nissan really needs to make a new one all together soon...

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  8 років тому

      We agree that an update is due, especially with the powertrain. However, for off-road capability fresh off the dealer lot, this PRO-4X is one to consider. Surprisingly, our tester was fairly quiet inside, for such an aggressive pickup, and pretty much all of trucks with leaf springs in the rear chatter like that, big or small. Thanks for your comments, justing bouche. We appreciate you!

      justin bouche We've only driven the new Colorado for a brief amount of time at launch, and still haven't gotten our hands on a current-gen Tacoma yet, so we can't make that comparison. But this Frontier was par with the big trucks from Ford and Toyota, as far as chatter is concerned, with the F-150 being a little more composed. But only a little. As we alluded to before, it's just something owners have to expect when going over speed bumps or something similar.

I am a proud customer I own the Nissan rogue SV 2016, now I own a Nissan pathfinder SL 2018. The titan is too big to fit in my garage. If the frontier is redesign and include all the technology I would love to get one.

    Very professional and thorough review, however I much prefer the Tacoma in this class, just based on resale value, it's a winner. The GM twins have a bad reliability record. I have been looking for a used Taco and they're just too damn expensive, and hard to find as well, owners just don't want to dump them.

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  8 років тому +1

      Thank you, pedro fernandez. We're happy you enjoyed our review. We agree, the Tacoma does maintain high resale value, warranted or not for each individual vehicle (i.e.- some are not taken care of as well as others, but still command higher prices than other midsize pickups), which is why it is important to have other options available on both the new and used markets. The midsize pickup market is, well, picking up, and while this Frontier does have a few signs of aging, this particular PRO-4X model does offer some decent features for off-road capability out of the box. We're still waiting to get our hands on a current-gen Tacoma or GM equivalent so until then we have to defer our comparisons. We appreciate your comments and thanks for watching!

    My 2002 ranger gets all round 28-30mpg how much does the fronteir 4 banger get

    • @HiPlains1
      @HiPlains1 5 років тому

      Sadly the 4 banger does about the same as the V6. And its gutless. Probably about 20 MPG combined. My Pro 4X with 4.0 gets about 18 city right now and 21 hwy. In short, the only reason one buys the 2.5 4 banger is cost. Base truck with 5 speed manual and 2.5 probably 20K dollars. And the like V6, very reliable as well. They are all pretty much bullet proof at this point. Price and reliablity is why these still sell in reasonable numbers. Almost 80K units last year which is higher then many years of the past.

    • @eyesalooking
      @eyesalooking 5 років тому

      I have a 2015 Nissan Frontier King Cab with the 4 banger and automatic. It is now my daily driver. I bought it used with 38,000 miles on it. It came with a bed liner (not sprayed in). I have added bed rail covers (from Nissan dealer on Amazon), step rails and bed cover. I have a custom made (color matched) cap on order because I need to haul weather protected items taller than what will fit under the bed cover. I consistently average 20 mpg but I don't do any stop and go driving. It didn't come with a back up camera so I have a wireless one on order from Garmin that will display on my Garmin Drivesmart 65 GPS. I am happy with my purchase. It does everything I need it to do.

    Can anyone tell me if the ground clearance on the *KING CAB* Pro-4X is the same as the *CREW CAB* version of the Pro-4X? I'm having a hard time finding an accurate side by side dimensional comparison of these two.

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  6 років тому +1

      Hi, ccashel. It is our understanding that the 4x4 versions of both the King Cab and Crew Cab Pro-4X Frontier have a ground clearance of 8.9 inches. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

      It comes with cleats that slide down/lock on floor and side rails. This is even better because you can decide where you want to tie down loads. Comes with six I think and you can buy more from Nissan. ua-cam.com/video/46qwHyOzK8Y/v-deo.html
