@@kaceconner2774 Online TV these days needs payment - I find UA-cam TV (NOT UA-cam Premium) is by far the best since it has movies + current live TVs as well. Far cheaper than cables. $64.99/mo after 3 months.
I just got a '20 SV. I expect it will last 15 years or so as it's not got a lot of gizmo's that's fail. That's why I got it. I love the vehicle, drives great.
I am eyeing a used 2021 Frontier PRO-4X right now. Have your friends, kids, or family offered up opinions on the ride / space in back? It felt pretty tight while just sitting still before I drove it. Any help or opinions would be great. A solid and quiet ride for sure.
@@rickwhitfield7617 I’ve no kids and the only backseat passengers have been for local trips. It seems to be an upright seating position, might not be the best for multi hour rides. There are probably better vehicles if you need to transport backseat passengers on long trips,
Hysterical. the 3.8 gets the same economy as the 4.0 but those add more complication, a transmission that can’t stop shifting and get rid of the manual transmission. Glad I got one of the last 2019 six speed manuals.
We’re almost half way into 2020 and the dealerships are saying that Nissan will not ship any until they sell out the 2019. Looks like we won’t see these until 2021...
People bought frontier because it was affordable and best bang for the money, with $7200 increase why would anyone wants this over Tacoma. Now the cheapest mid size truck is Colorado.
2000RPM at 70MPH, thats kind of what it was doing with the 4.0L and 5 speed. Sounds Like nissan didn't make the 9th gear much taller than the 5th gear in the previous truck. What a disappointment. I love the frontier too but I think i would just buy a used 6 speed manual since the new motor and tranny's benefits seem negligible at best.
i love my 6speed VQ frontier. Its a beast, super fun to drive and awesome offroad. people dont ever talk about the VDS or whatever torque-vectoring-by-braking that is found is most 4x4 models. Its very capable stock, even with no lockers. i also average 22 mpg which is not bad at all. ive gone through a tacoma, chevy colorado(for work) and even a cherokee xj. The frontier is a solid truck
The placement of your POV camera is as bad as the constant music in the background. Also, a smart person would buy a 2019 at 0% while they still can. I did, and I'll keep mine for the rest of my life (although with us soon going full Zombieland that might not be so long).
Got a ‘20 P4X, Seems to hunt for gears, downshift is awful, can feel 3.2.1 in stops, feels like a basketball hitting the cab. Engine is noisy and squeals when ac compressor kicks on. Not loving it, traded a 12 Xterra Pro4x, ride quality is great but transmission is making me nervous. I have 700 miles on it now.
I have. The 2017 frontier...the new motor has DIRECT INJECTION...all motors that have had Direct Injection the valves carbon up. Toyota has both direct injection plus multi port to solve this problem. Why purchase a engine that has a known flawed problem of valves to carbon up at the 40000 mile mark. I guess Nissan does not care because it will be out of warrenty. Am I missing something
This is why Nissan is so behind. This new frontier was supposed to come out in 2020 and is already may and there's nothing yet. The new redesigned frontier is supposed to come out in 2021 and this one is not going to sell well because a lot of people are going to wait for the new model. I don't get it. 🙁
Um, wrong! A lot of people have already put down a deposit for the 2020 model. Nissan has sold a lot of the previous powertrain model for the year 2019.
I just actually can't really wait until I even buy myself a used Nissan Frontier instead for as of right now people because I just actually can't really afford to buy the 2021 Truck so plus I just actually want to start modifying it right away whenever possible here people whenever I get that kind of money in my bank account plus for myself it would be much cheaper for me right now people to buy myself a used one instead of buying myself a brand spankin new one
No it's made my Daimler Benz and it's a good one. As for the ZF 9-speed there was nothing wrong with it until Jeep licensed the zf and jacked up the software.
@@fcex558 Well who put the C snap ring in backwards that caused these transmissions to fail in second gear? We should have all got new transmissions. Instead we got the shaft.
What do you mean? It’s technically the most powerful engine in its class.... And turbo 4s are no longer a sign of weak, underpowered engines. Turbo v6s dominate the full size segment and likewise, the Rangers engine is currently the one to beat in the class.
you’ve clearly never driven a frontier. i had a 2014 the 4.0 might have only made around 260 horsepower but power came on strong as hell no matter where in the powerband i was. i don’t think the new 3.8 will have any trouble moving the truck or anything it’s pulling.
A good amount of people are at least around where I live. The price for these compared to the Colorado and Tacoma make this a steal. It’s always been an ok truck, but for the majority of people who just want a truck it does the job.
It's a great value for the money, for most people their vehicle is either just transportation or a tool to do work with and the extra money for a Toyota, for example, just isn't justified.
We have a 2019 Tacoma TRD Pro as well, can’t stand the way that truck drives. The interior looks better, has more bells and whistles but I like the Frontier better all-around. I couldn’t care less if the Frontier body style has not changed in 15 years. Society is more than ridiculous in how they chase newer/better/faster etc. all the time. If it works, don’t change it - you’ll know what I’m saying when you reach your mid-40’s. 🙂
I guess because it’s boxy like the older Nissan trucks. And the fact the design has been around since 2004 for the 2005 model year. Personally I think it’s aged well.
This is the best Mid-size truck in the market. I have 2018 Pro-4X - after going through all of its competitors, I’ve got this truck and am loving it.
I guess it's kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to watch new tv shows online ?
@Kace Conner i use Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

Good for you. I almost bought frontier because of its engine but I had to buy 4runner for everyday usages
Still think it's the best looking mid size truck even if it is old
Questions, does it have remote start with the key fob? Also, does the truck unlock and lock when the fob is near by? 🤔

Is hard to find a classic with 0 miles unmolested 👌 ☺️
I love it but they need to put the VK56 in it as an XD like option. Bring back the Xterra!!!!!!!!!!!!
its an easy swap. im planning on doing it this spring. I already have the adapter plate for my 6 speed manual ;)
Well I’m actually surprised that this was a relatively straight forward review. Keep that up and I might actually subscribe!
Crazy that the 2020 still isn't for sale

At least it's still got a CD PLAYER!!! Haha. I hate that they've removed them on just about everything else.

You can keep your 'weak ass engine, low drivers seat, shifty transmission and poor fuel economy' Taco to yourself. Lol
Because them Toyota’s are junk I’ve jumped both of them and the frontier takes it way better the Toyota almost knocked me out same jump

If only it could be had with a manual transmission.

Yeah just some extra maintenance every 10000 miles you have to do, not a big deal

waw the car is really gd hw can iget it
Is that 9speed made by ZF who made that horrible Jeep Cherokee transmission?
No it's made my Daimler Benz and it's a good one. As for the ZF 9-speed there was nothing wrong with it until Jeep licensed the zf and jacked up the software.

You cannot compare a naturally aspirated engine to a turbocharged engine. Two different things.
