Better than a Tacoma

This is my first Frontier, and so far I'm impressed. New styling is a huge improvement. Actually has more horsepower and towing capacity than my 2014 Ram. As others have commented, the steering is a little heavy and the gas mileage has been uninspiring. Definitely feels like a truck. No issues at 8,600 miles.

Loving this truck

Bought new in May of this year the SV 2X4 Crew Cab short box so far loving this truck traded my 2005 Tacoma went with the Nissan because bigger standard V6 300 HP 3.8 Liter motor and more towing capacity but biggest selling point for me was the look it looks like a tough truck have added about $3000 in accessories and get great comment about the truck only drawback I have found is steering is bit heavy but it is a truck but over all it is a great truck still out on 9 speed transmission seems to always trying to find the right gear but came with life time warranty from Dealer so not that worried hoping to keep it for many years to come

Save your money, buy from any other manufacture.

Worst vehicle I have ever owned, paint flaking off, warped dash and multiple recalls, less than 3400 miles on the truck, no quality control. This truck has been a nightmare to own the selling dealer will nothing but provide a run around stating warranty claims have been made, I have filled a complaint with Nissan Corp, and I am hoping to have the vehicle bought back, due to the lack of quality and not feeling safe operating this vehicle due to the recalls and lack of quality control.

2022 Frontier Awesome truck for the money

This is my third Frontier, 2022 SV crew cab 4x4 Premium. Prior 2 were 2007 SV crew cab 213,000 miles (traded for 2018) and 2018 SV crew cab 61,000 miles (totaled). I love the frontiers, very reliable and rugged little to no issues in either previous. Comparing to my new 2022 it is like VW bug going to Mercedes, period, day and night. New truck rides great, is quiet and comfortable. I transferred my sliding toolbox (no longer offed with frontier accessory (WHY NOT Nissan), running boards, and lower bed utilitrac rails(not added to 2022, previous had 5 tracks 2022 had only 3 I do use the ones on the floor) from my totaled 2018, no sense in buying them again. What would I change? Nissan should have put the extra length into the cab (big bragging rights against competitors, back seat fit for kids only). SV premium should have come with the 2 tone SV wheels and painted fender flares. Other than this, I would not trade it for any of the competition. Note to Nissan, you have to keep constant updates as we go, no more wait 15 years and only difference between my 07 and 18 was really wheels, front bumper and radio :(. Keep it relevant against competitors at all times. This is only way you can ever gain the crown. you got my vote for crown, but you needs 100's of thousands more to win it. Keep up the good work awesome truck.

Very pleased, great truck

Great truck, love everything about it so far. Josh at Nissan of Streetsboro was a big help and very knowledgeable about any questions I had. He helped make this experience easy. I will keep recommending this dealership and working with Josh.

A decent truck

It looks like a truck, drives like a truck, feels like a truck. It is a truck. It's biggest drawback is the balloon tires. They make it a bit wobbly. It took quite bit getting used to it, and I think the first chance I get I will upsize the rims to reduce the sidewall height. 9 Speeds is a bit over the top. I have never had it past 7. The hood is skewed. Paint is thin and not the best quality. I put a cardboard box in the bed and it scraped the paint down to the primer. Come-on, really? I went and paid to have Line-X sprayed on as it had already started rusting where the box went through the primer. You think with 9 gears it would get better mileage. I get about 18 combined, although I must admit I live in the NEPA mountains so there is not a lot of flat land around here. The one thing that was lacking was a tow hitch. This will be my next purchase for it.

2022 Nissan Frontier

Performance is great. Roomy interior. Gas milage is good, a little less than my previous car, but not that much for the difference between a 4 and 6 cylinder.
