2024 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X - Better Than A Toyota Tacoma?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- In this video, I review the 2024 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X... The Frontier is a great truck, and the PRO-4X just takes it to the next level.. The thing I really like about this truck is just how simple it is.. No turbos, physical buttons and controls on the interior - something that seems like it will last a LONG time...

Just bought my 2024 Pro-4X 2 weeks ago. Absolutely love it.
I tested it the other day for a minute does the screen come in alright? It was one of my drawbacks but I’m not sure if It was just cause I saw it only for a minute. I also tested the canyon which was another awesome truck
@@jongenness3509 Over 2 months in now, and everything is still great. No issues with screen at all.
I just bought my 2024 Frontier Pro 4X. This is my first truck to own and I am very happy with it so far. Can’t wait to wash and detail it for the first time.
This is a no-nonsense pickup truck. Glad you could review it!
No-nonsense pickup trucks don't exist anymore. Heated steering wheel, lane assist, auto-start/stop, intelligent cruise control etc is all nonsense. Even the traction control and automatic transmission is arguably nonsense.
I know what you mean. I had a 2019 Nissan Frontier in the 6 speed manual configuration. I miss the truck every day.@@coffeeandlifting
@@BillyBlazeTheKeenest I'm always bitter because I love the specs of these new trucks, but I detest all the BS tech that the put on them. I wish companies would pick one trim level to make exclusively for serious users. No screens, no driver-assists, no panty-warmers, no efficiency hacks, and no automatic anything. Manual transmission and manual transfer case. We're talking 1998 spec. I'll even take manual windows and door locks if I have to. I just want it to last forever, and I don't think these new trucks will last more than 10 years with all the tech nonsense that won't be end-user-repairable.
Maybe Mahinda from India could swoop in and do that ;)@@coffeeandlifting
@@coffeeandlifting Whatever! Call it what you want. I own this Truck and have 15,000 plus on it. I like it. Good solid Truck, and I like the size. Handles the ice and snow very well and has good clearance for an off the lot 4wd. One complaint is the low quality back up camera. My wife has the Rogue. Hers is like night and day compared to mine. So far I have had zero nonsense with this truck. I like the heated wheel. I'm old. My truck has no lane assist. I think you would be more suited buying a 1970's F-250. If you feel like spending 25,000 on one. Using a back up camera for backing up to your trailer is a luxury only a man my age would appreciate. I have seen many a no nonsense truck with a nice trailer dent in the tailgate or license plate that has a ball peened hammer finish.
I have a 2022 Pro4X . It’s a great truck. So far I’ve put 43k miles on it without any issues . It’s the hidden gem in the market. I’ve had every brand of truck and Nissan has always been the most reliable for me. And yes I’ve had a Tacoma . I chose Nissan this time because of ride/comfort , looks and my experience with exceptional Frontier reliability. It’s a solid , durable , actual truck . I’m not ever going with a 4cyl turbo .
Did your transmission fail yet ?
No . And my frame has rusted in to 3 pieces like my Tacoma .
@@jduniek1you still living it so far?
Yes . Absolutely
Your a 100% correct on the physical controls. This is the first new truck I really like. Simple Old School, that's what I want. Keeping it simple stupid is the best way. Loving this truck.
Great video! I purchased a 2024 Nissan Pro4X in the color of Cardinal Red this past January. It has all the options you mentioned, except I have the bead style look rims. I absoulutely love this truck. I was torn between the Nissan and the 2024 Toyota Tacoma. For the price and options, I am so happy I went with the Pro4x. In comparison to the Tacoma, the Frontiers side steps, exhaust placement, and spare tire all excel. I wasn't sure if i would like the handling of the hydraulic steering, but it is fantastic. My rear seat flips up and locks mechanicaly in place, I don't need to snap a stupid strap like the Taco. I also like keeping my engine clean, good luck with that under the Taco hood mess, take a look at both engines and you will understand. If your not drag racing your buddy, this truck has plenty of power. The look, feel and ride is fantastic, Nissan nailed it!
Your spot on bro!!!! I’m a pickup guy, have had them all and have this truck now and for the money it is awesome
No early emergency brake system ?
This is nice for sure tested this yesterday but for me I’m leaning canyon that was fun to drive I tested the elevation but want the at4. Hope I don’t choose wrong. The frontiers advantage would be the 10 year 150k warranty while the at4 would be 5 year 60thousand. I’m going to try to negotiate it to 10 year 100k
Great review as always. That is a nice truck and much more affordable than a similar Tacoma. I agree with you about keeping things more simple and for having actual switches instead of having to go through a screen. That is just way too distracting. Hoping you are doing great Kenny!
I feel like a lot of people feel that way! Thank you James - Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Kenny and congrats for cracking 25 k!@@703Speed
I agree with you very much about these car companies making simple things so complicated like having to adjust climate control through a screen. Keeping it simple is an asset in itself.
Completely agree! I don't get the logic..
First thing, this is the best review I've seen on the new Nissan Frontier yet...well done man!! 👏 Second, has anyone ever told you, you sound like UFC commentator Jon Anik?! 😁
I just got a 2024 Frontier! You covered everything really well. One thing I just figured out recently was the lumbar support for the driver's seat. I wish I had your video a couple months ago when I bought my truck!
I've been doing some mods and some of the wiring is different than previous models. I went to install an intake and ended up not fitting because the fuse box had been moved from the previous year.
I agree though, It's a solid truck. I went with the Frontier over the Colorado, 24 Ranger, and 24 Tacoma. I love the simplicity and the fact that I can wrap my head around working on it myself.
Great job with the review! You touched on pretty much everything and it’s nice to see. I bought a 2023 Tacoma and after about 6 months I sold it due to the never ending gear hunting at speeds on the highway. Lacklustre fuel economy along with the gear hunting and 6 months later I was over it. I’m going to be checking out the Frontier now, thanks for the review!
I bought a 2024 Pro 4X, it’s a great truck, solid feel, I drove it to NC during Christmas and was able to get 24.6 mpg, my only complaint being the red dash lights, they are hard to see at night, would be better all white and / or blue.
Please confirm if the 2024 model has the annoying start / stop engine feature?
@@leejeffers1240It does but you can turn It off with a button.
@@leejeffers1240 it does. You can easily disable it.
@@leejeffers1240bro you can just turn it off 😂
I bought a 2024 Pro4X. Love it. Your review was absolutely accurate.
I had two of the last gen they were both great trucks! 200+k miles. Upgraded to Titan 😎
I just bought a 2023 Tacoma. After watching your video, I wish I'd have test drove a Frontier!
Both are great options
Hold on to it as long as you can. You have the LAST V6 Tacoma. I have a '17 TRD Sport ext cab with the V6 and I hope it'll last 300K. I hate the new Tacos and when the time comes to replace it I think I'll get a Frontier and that's why I'm here watching his video.
Best review I have seen yet. Props to you from Fairfax!
🙏🏼
I don't know how you did that but you explained every feature and button without even owning the truck - you must have really done a lot of research. Spot on - and great video!
those Hankook tires are great, we just got hammered by a winter storm with tons of snow and those tires work great in snow
I have had that brand on a few sedans and they were always good tires for me.
Bought a new 2023 Pro4X last week. I appreciate your video. It explains it really well. I love the truck so far. Was a decent price as well.
Congrats on your new truck!
How much do you pay, bro? What’s your location?
there are some really strong deals in my area( minimum 5750 off msrp). i got right at 8k off of mine.
@@maccooley3451which part of the country
Just bought the exact model that your showing. Love the looks as well
I have been researching this truck for a few weeks trying to decide if it is he one that I want. Well your video just convinced me that this Pro 4X is the one for me. Great coverage of this truck. Great job...Thank You, Gary O
Well, I just nought one. 2024 Frontier Pro-4X
I just bought mine a day ago and pending pick up. This is the best review I've seen for the Frontier. Great job!
You're 100% correct about the longevity of the motors. I really like the old school gauges, can't handle the screen gauges., volume knobs ect. Sweet. Thank you for the great info and video🏁🏁🏁👍.
Dude this is the most thorough review I have ever seen on any vehicle.
Great job on this video. I’ve been comparing the Tacoma with the Nissan Pro 4X, the Canyon and the Ridgeline. This gives me all the info I need to assess the Nissan.
I've been contemplating between these as well , it's this or the colorado
Same here. Had the 22 colorado zr2 and it was my favorite vehicle ever. Unfortunately, I totalled it at 10,000 miles so now I'm looking again. Debating going with the colorado again or giving the v6 frontier a shot
You just sold me on this Nissan, Ill be buying one ☺️
Plan on getting one tomorrow.
I have the same colour 2023 Pro 4X. I like its simplicity and truck feel. Downside is the awful cruise control and poor camera quality. Very good, informative review.
Yeah, need better clarity with the camera system - def agree with you there
You did a really good job that I’m changing my mind to buy a Frontier instead a the new Tacoma
Amazing review bro.
Thank you bro
Very good detailed video, thanks This is my 2nd viewing as I continue to shop for a truck. 👍
Just bought one of these, and the video was very helpful.
I have a 22 Pro 4X. Love driving mountain roads, and it has not disappointed me. Have crossed mountain streams without any problems. Replaced the tires with BF Goodrich K02s. Put a winch on the front, so I no longer have the red tow hooks. Replaced the step rails with rock sliders which gives me more ground clearance. Towed a small travel trailer from the west coast to the east coast and back without issue. 2 things I don't like. The delay in acceleration, and no tailgate seals which a lot of dust to enter the bed area (I have a hard shell).
Excellent review! I learned a lot about this vehicle.
2023 vs 2024 comparison
Great video. It was well put together. I own a 2023 pro4x fully loaded. I have all the packages that are offered in my pro4x. The only difference that I noticed was the seats. The 2023 offers leather on the seats. The 2024 does not offer leather or at least not in this particular truck you displayed. Maybe it’s offered in a pro convenience package? Also, the drivers seat has a back pocket in the 2023 and not in the 2024 shown in your video. Anyhow, just thought I would point that out in case others were wondering. 13:24
Very satisfied with my purchase .
Thank you for the write up! I’m glad you like the vid.. This seems like a really solid truck in the world of “disposable” trucks if that makes sense?
Thinking of buying one and your review was great! Looking forward to other reviews Thanks again
I love my 2024 Frontier pro4x , excellent midsized truck and it's fast to !
Very good video just bought mine today in the gray color 4pro max
Great video, top notch review if all features and options. Awesome mid-size truck. With proper maintenance, easy to get 250K+ longevity.
Great Video! Looking to buy either this Pro-X or Toyota Tacoma. Prefer Toyota or Subaru but Toyota Dealers too full of themselves and overpriced! Great Deals right now in Jan. on '23 Models too though am curious as to why so many leftovers! Seen over a dozen Reviews on these Frontiers but yours' is the best Assesment of the back seat, which is important! Most Reviews just flash a view of the back seat and mention dimensions but you actually sit back there and give your honest opinion of how the backseat feels to ride in. Great Review, keep it up, appreciate it!
Great review, very much appreciated, thank you, all the very best.
This truck is wonderful.
Agreed
I love my 2020 Tacoma TRD PRO. Hands down..if i was purchasing today it would be the Frontier.
I’ve been a Tacoma guy my whole life. About 6 months ago I sold my last gen Tacoma and bought a new pro-4x. What an absolutely amazing truck this has been. Plus I mean….i don’t feel squished in it. The engine and transmission feel great, I love the heavy steering, feels solid off road (have a 3 inch lift), and all around it just feels confident on the road. It’s a bummer that they discontinued the titan though.
I'm not currently in the market for a new truck, but I like the direction they've taken with the Frontier.
Owned three Frontiers 4x4's and really liked them all. I would remove the side steps.
Me too...
Yeah, I bought a 23 pro4x and wish I didn’t buy the steps. I know you can unbolt the step portion and leave the rail which I may do or just install a lift to make the steps usable.
I love the looks of these side steps.
I bought the 23 frontier sv crew cab 6ft bed 4x4, for the reason of it being basic and simple, plus the n/a V6 engine.
Good review, I feel the same about being simpler is more reliable
PS: Giving it a zonk for missing the upper driver side oh poop handle. It should be mandatory for all vehicles. Somewhere to put your arm on long trips.
Got to test drive 2 of these and a Tacoma today.
Not even close... Immediately left with the Tacoma.
Motor feels sluggish, transmission seemed to hard shift constantly, the steering was extremely stiff and the overall interior felt cheap.
I'm not a Tacoma fan boy by any means. I have never owned one until today. I really wanted to love the Nissan. That's why I test drove 2 different ones. Just to make sure I wasn't crazy.
What year Tacoma did you get, and trim?
Just sat in 22 tacoma, 24 ranger and a 22 frontier. The ranger was the most comfortable, but i hated the lack of switches and stupid tablet controlling everything... Tacoma was ok, will probably last the longest. Stereo in the pro 4x was the best but couldn't get comfortable in the seat. It didnt move the front lip up enough to support my long legs. All the beds were useless... I'm just gonna keep running my 04 fx4 and 00 Celica GTS.
Very detailed review! Subscribed!
Very informative, indeed. Thank you!
Excellent amount of details, dude !! I cannot agree more on the easy use of buttons and knobs instead of just a computer screen and multiple pages, software ! Distracted driving. Did this truck have the very nifty rear bumper drop down step and a vertical handle that locks upright, so old geezer like me can more easily step up into the bed ? I never noticed Frontier before just recently. Test drove one. Impressed how quiet and smooth riding. Definitely quieter than my smaller midsized Ute, might also be smoother ride. And kudos Nissan about the ONLY one left offering choice of clamshell doors and longer 6’ bed ! I no need for back seats, just stuff dumped there needing to go with. Heavy e-bike goes with every day, I need 6’ for easy walk alongside truck and lay it down, tailgate fully up. I need to test and see if truck is close enough to ground and see if 6’3” is tall enough to not need something to stand on to do that. I cannot find specs yet to compare bed height to Colorado and Ranger, they are too high. Frontier seems lower. One more thing that is most excellent, can get heated steering wheel and keep cloth seats. I also don’t wish for a turbo added complicated stuff. I only drive like 5,000 miles a year. Possible gripes to deal with, stiffer steering, larger turning radius, no telescoping steering wheel. I need another, longer test drive on rough roads and parallel park, etc. Thanks again man, really good info. This truck is rather exciting. It’s like can do/handle much of everything thrown at it, maybe not greatly over performing everywhere, but in a larger overview, it’s got its poop in a group. “Less is more”, indeed.
According to Edmonds the turning radius is almost identical to the ranger... 42 feet.
Well done, nice review.
Thanks for doing good on the Frontier
Love this Nissan
I have this exact truck and love it.
Great review! Thanks! 🔥
Great ultra thorough review!
Enjoyed the vid :)
Solid review
Very Thorough Excellent video and review
Thank you
Toyota is pissing a lot of people off with their horrible dealer experience. Me included. Definitely not buying my next vehicle from them
Mark ups are insane in some cases.
Been buying Toyota for 30 years. Went with the Frontier this time . Bought a new frontier a week ago. Toyota is crazy with their pricing!
Checking in at last Toyota service, the service manager quietly says to me “keep the one you’re in right now, the new ones are full of problems, and I’ll buy yours in five years!”.
If Nissan added factory trailer break controller and improve towing numbers keeping V6 engine for 2025 this is def my next truck to purchase.
Excellent Review!
I am glad you touched on the need for just a basic natural Aspirated engine four midsized trucks I am sick to death of these bull crap turbo NO BODY NEEDS. Thank you Nissan.
I actually enjoyed your product evaluation, my one observation though is that you talk fast😂, other than that it was good. I know more about this vehicle than I did before. I’ll give it a closer look!
Great information
Fast moving information very good
1 day, I buy a 2024 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X.
Awesome review🐐🐐
Nice Review!
Colorado numbers are impressive. Had a Chevy cruze with a turbo not quite sure if I'd want to relive that experience
I like it still has a V6. But like others, there's no front bumper, so all it takes is a tap to do $1,000's in damage , to all of that tech. Most people don't want anyhow. I'd rather restore an older truck. I'd have alot of enjoyment out of that, and it will end up like I want it. Did I mention that no new vehicles have a front bumper? We used to a least get 5mph ones.
It’ll be nice if it comes with a 7 speed or 6?speed manual transmission.
While the truck is great the price not so much. I agree 4 cylinder turbos will have more issues for a fact. The turbo usually needs replaced at least.
All - I just picked up this very truck for 41,700 - Go now to the dealers- they are hungry for sales and will deal! I love this truck!
OTD?
Video was very helpful kudos to Safford Brown Nissan of Fairfax for the use of the truck. Compared to the Canyon/Colorado you get more for your money with the Frontier.
The vertical seats in the back are due to trying to keep the overall length down. Nissan customer research indicated the customers didn't want an oversize midsize. Like the extra details in this review that others skip over.
Nice truck good video
Has the frontier always had auto start-stop? I’ve seen many reviews and this is the first time hearing it mentioned. I like the wireless CarPlay though. That’s new I think.
2022 doesn’t have it
@@Roadrunnerhenryit did for apple but not android iirc
Love the Frontier, Best Looks and power train, BUT tight interior needs rear A/C vents and ventilated front seats for southern buyers to be a Great mid-size truck, 24 ridgeline Black Edition better choice.
Or the Honda Pilot . It’s the same car as the Ridgeljne .
How is the truck frame on the Frontier compared to the Tacoma, which one is better and more durable? Great video by the way.
Same frame thats on the titan so it had a full size truck frame.
Frontiers frame is way more durable
I would love to see on 2025 model Bose speakers😊 & just a little more lift with bigger tires.
Slightly bigger screen, glove box that you can lock. Please add the telescoping stearing wheel, improve the back seat, some slight tilt would be perfect.
I like it but it has a rough ride and the steering is really heavy, it doesn't handle that good. I drove the new 2024 Tacoma and it's a smoother ride, steering is light and easy to turn, handling is really good.
Hate to rain on the parade but, If you are not planning on doing any serious off road adventuring and you keep it lite then this truck is definitely for you.
But let’s be real, this truck is not and never will be on the same level as a Tacoma TRD Pro 64k, GMC Canyon AT4X 57k, Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison 61k, Ford Ranger Raptor 59k.
The Frontier Pro4X comes in at 50k definitely the most affordable of the bunch but do do kid yourselves, yes it is simpler and potentially more reliable, I think it’s a great much less expensive option but it does not compare.
The traction control is old school tech that ranks dead last in the group. The hydraulic steering is at least a decade behind. The tires it comes with are useless in the mud. Switching in and out of 4 Low can be a hassle at best.
The choice is new tech at much higher prices with recall gremlins or much less expensive older tech with its own set of deficiencies. I recommend watching The TK Truck King channel Frontiers Pro4X off road review and you will see for yourself what I’m talking about. Good Trucking !
That lumbar support is very common in Japanese cars, my 06 acura tsx have it , sports toyotas from 80,s-90,s,even my first new car 1993 hyundai scoupe turbo.
Came for interest in truck. Doing my homework. You did a very good job explaining everything. Much better than most I’ve seen! Nice! I’m looking for a green pro 4x loaded, Minus the Moon Roof!
Another truck channel showed that just one big dip broke the shocks
Frontier has always been a good looking & capable truck. We just got to wait and see if they have carbon buildup issues with the direct injection outside of that I'm sure it's a great V6 engine. It just looks good 💯%
No power rear siding window. Even on the pro 4x. I can't reach it from the drivers seat, so whats the point of having it. Its a little thing, but one that would bug the crap out of me.
I was lucky enough to find a good deal on a used taco recently, but if I was in the market for a new truck I think this would be the one. So sick of the inflated prices and turbo/hybrid bs in all the other modern trucks
I own a 2022 Nissan frontier pro x we've never had one problem with it
Damn, with all the packages how much is this truck come out the door price?
i have to say the only thing i hate is the red/orange accent inside the cab, there should be choice if want Red /Orange as an upgrade and keep the accent Black.
Just my opinion.
What do you all think?
I like my 2023 Frontier P4X with leather. However, the Apple carplay/infotainment is glitchy and the truck downshifts while braking
I'm having a hard time to decide: midsized or full-size truck. I'm retired. Less driving and less off-road. I have a full-size truck. A silverado. The Nissan Frontier Pro4x is a beautiful truck. And a giid truck. I still have my 92 KingCab truck. So, someone give me a good reason why I should get a midsized truck. Pros and cons. 😊
I'm glad I bought a 2022. It doesn't have auto start/stop.
I've been looking at this and the Tacoma. I'm going with the Nissan. Toyota's price is unjustifiable. This thing is tried and true, has comfy seats, and is built with quality components. All for 10k less.
Great video!!!!
