Yep, you can drive my 04 Ranger off a cliff and it’ll keep going for another 300k miles. These Frontiers are pretty close to that. Top slot for modern times.
As the owner of simple basic trucks since '71, I agree. Most were Fords, F100 first and the rest were F150s with the 4.9 I6 and stick (well I did slip up and bought a 2011 F150 XLT w/5.0 new whenthey went to automatics...but don't drive it much). What I drive mostly is a '13 Frontier S much more basic than the one reviewed. It's got a 4 banger, stick, 2WD, king cab and nearly 82K miles on it (the F150's only got 20K miles) but I love the Frontier. In winter its all I drive. Wish they still made one like it. Basic trucks are for people who use them for work and basic transportation. Little to go wrong and much easier to fix. Hate that the people who use trucks for trail riding dictate so many new truck designs. That said, I'll probably stick with my '13 Frontier until it dies. It's still going strong, doesn't show any rust, and it's paid for. Prices for new ones are nuts even without the adjustments for N2 in the tires.
I have this exact same truck and color in a 2023. I absolutely LOVE it!! The perfect truck honestly. Look the looks and styling and the performance is beautiful. Extremely comfortable and reliable!!
Just bought a 2024 Nissan Frontier S and love it! I would suggest getting the tech package with backup camera, smart cruise control, forward collision warning, etc. it is worth the extra cost.
Last week I trade my 2013 Tacoma 91k Texas edition for 2024 frontier s 4x4 at 29.650 msrp and they gave me 18k for the taco ,I’m the happiest men right now
To me a no nonsense truck would have a regular cab 2 doors and a 6 foot bed.I will drive my 2005 GMC canyon regular cab until there is nothing left of it.
here in Central Arkansas Pro4X are still being advertised well under 40k. and at least in my case, they will sell at that price with very little negotiation and work the deal if you have a trade to offset dealer add ons. add on was $1299 here. they took an additional $700 off truck and added $500 to trade and drove off 39,925 final price.
These days of added costs and "mandatory" options, makes buying used (private) more and more attractive each day, however, the preponderance of people who are in the market for a new vehicle, don't have many financing options when buying private, so the dealers and financing companies can capitalize on this and take full advantage of the market. Dealerships are the cancer of the automotive world, always have been, always will be.
I got this exact same truck, certified pre owned with 16K miles for 30k flat. Dealer even put black wheel skins on for me. Truck has 27k now in 5 months. Only problem is the one wheel skin is squeaky so Ima just rock the classic steel wheel look
lol bro I think you just helped me figure out why why wheels are so squeaky all of a sudden! Sounds like it my black wheel skins 😆 they didn’t squeak before but I noticed them become ever so slightly loose now. I love the way they look but that squeak kills me. So I’m guessing no squeak after you removed them?
I wouldn't pay 40 grand for a base line trim Frontier...I would buy a fully loaded Ridgeline with leather, sunroof etc for 41k which I did last yr. or if I needed a real truck/ truck - for towning.. I would buy a base trim Sliverado, Ram etc and pay 45k. For me, the Ridgeline fits my needs, as I do lots of highway mileage - and get 26 mpg .. very comfortable ..and can fit in tight spaces better than the big boys.. for around 15k less fully equipped.
good point. If you're selling a midsize truck, you've got a very narrow price window in which to make your truck attractive to a potential truck buyer. Especially base trims. Why pay 40k+ for a base mid size truck when I can go full size with some upgrades for probably another 8k, with discounts? Full size trucks aren't moving so there are better deals to be had.

I bought one almost a month ago. & I have to say, I love this truck. It gives me everything I want. Power & reliability. But would never buy one with nitrogen in the tires. Since Frontiers don't take off & fly through the sky. You don't need the nitrogen. & it won't help you with an underinflated tire. Avoid the extra expense guys. Regular oxygen works just fine & it's free.
In TX where I live, these Frontiers aren't selling well. Local dealership have SV marked down to 85% off MSRP. Nissan is pushing dealerships to move inventory with incentives too.
I agree with your take. I would like a 6 ft bed, and I'd also like an extended cab instead of crew. My understanding is that you can only get an extended cab with the SV. I'm ready for factory direct sales, too. These stealerships can dry up and blow away, as far as I'm concerned. Lets eliminate the middle man.
Toyota's 2.4L Turbo on EVERY single Tacoma model/trim level was the absolute dumbest move I have ever seen. That alone, imo, is the biggest thing behind the sales success of the Nissan Frontier. I hope Nissan sent a card of thanks to Toyota! 😆
You know it’s an upside down world when a basic pickup truck is considered nice, those things were once a loss lead for dealers. Let’s just wait for the competitors adjust to meet demand if you can. I tell my kids that vehicles are not like smart phones that you change out every few years, these are tools that you take care of and hopefully it’ll last a long time.
Dump the pointless "infotainment system" and replace it with a simple push button AM/FM/CD (yeah, I know, but a LOT of us out here in pickup country really, really don't care about the screens and such for what we need out of a pickup). By the way....The truck featured in this video is very similar, equipment wise, to the 2013 Frontier that I owned for exactly a year. Wish I had that truck back as it would make for an excellent beater pickup today, I'm sure.
The issue with trucks these days is that we as the consumer believe we are entitled to all these creature comforts and different drive modes, infotainment systems and everything else. We just love to “keep up with the Jones’s” when it comes to buying vehicles. We see our neighbor buy a top trim line truck and that makes you jealous and not wanting to look like you’re poor. It’s our own narcissistic fault and the manufactures were more than willing to pass the costs off to you. A sucker born every minute.
I just bought a 2024 Frontier S two wheel drive after looking at the Toyota Ford and Chevy four-cylinder turbo crappy engines specially Toyota shame on them. The frontier is the best value!
Glad to say I never fell for the nitrogen in the tires thing. Air is 80% nitrogen already. You know they aren't evacuating all the air in the tires, so what are they increasing the amount by...10% at most? Folks, you should have paid attention in science classes... It isn't rocket surgery.
@@tritchie6272 You don't at this time. It's what they should be selling for though (base model). They've just upped the prices steeply in the last 4 years and the vehicles haven't changed to any extent to warrant it. So, it is reasoned that the causes are pandemic, chips, inflation, and just plain old price increases.
It's not simple. The 2000 to 2008 frontier was simple. These new Frontiers have direct injection instead of port injection so you now have more complications and maintenance. I like my 2006 frontier but when I needed a new truck I got the cast iron block naturally aspirated port injection 4 banger Tacoma made in 2022. Now that is simple.
@jeanclaude7018 True but it doesn't mean that people can't buy used trucks like up to 2023 Tacomas that have the cast iron block 4 banger or Frontiers before the direct injection. People all over Florida seem to buying even older vehicles like used Kei trucks imported used from Japan. Screw buying new vehicles.
40k for this garage. I'll never buy a truck like this for 40k. Hell it will be 43k out the door. And 57k financed. You all throw money away like your a forien 4 foot tall alien getting free money.
Good truck, not worth much more than 26K, doesn't get good Gas mileage . get A F 150 work truck and get a lot more with that truck VS the overpriced frontier. Nonetheless, they both are over priced. However, I will pay a few more 1000 to get a full size truck that can tow more and have more bed space VS the frontier.
I'd buy that just for the powertrain... long live the naturally aspirated V6!
@@JCT442 same here, it’s a great setup. I like it more than the previous gen Tacoma
Simplicity always wins. I agree that the other brands have gotten way too complicated, which adds cost and reduces reliability.
Yep, you can drive my 04 Ranger off a cliff and it’ll keep going for another 300k miles. These Frontiers are pretty close to that. Top slot for modern times.
As a family member of a Nissan owner, I disagree. Simple and still awful.

Only thing I can't stand is the Auto start/stop engine. I got a Titan just to avoid it
Why cant they make one in manual?
My best guess is,manual transmissions don't sell enough to be profitable to them. Seems like alot of manufactures have dropped the manual.
Same reason no one's making a regular cab or entended cab any more.
The Nissan dealer told me they don't make a S model in 4 door
