Great video covering the core topics! A couple topics that could be on a pt. 2: sub-par factory paintjob, shortbed/longbed rareness, "how big of tire can I run with/without trimming?", What are the re-gearing options? Alldogs has been an absolute excellent resource of information and parts; thank you guys!

I have a ‘12 pro-4x, has about 180K miles. Still runs great and I love it. Bought it with 12K miles in ‘12. I spend a lot of time in the middle of nowhere and it has never let me down.

Biggest plus? It's $8K to $10K cheaper than a Toyota Tacoma.

love my 2016 sv, such a fun truck to drive, 6 speed manual with 92k miles love her so much has never let me down!

I purchased a 2016 frontier SV 4 dr 5 ft bed with 68k miles at an auction for 12k and love it. We consistently get 21 mpg, after a year where very happy w it..

My 2015 has been flawless. If you are 2015 or later you are good prior to the new models release. So while dated... the kinks got worked out and is a very reliable pickup

Car nut here, really love finding videos that go into the details like this on any car I’m researching. Wish more people took this approach and didn’t just repeat the spec sheet just with their own signature hand signals and facial expressions. Good shiett.

I bought a 2017 Frontier in 2018 it gad 17, 000 miles on it now it's 2024 29, 000 miles and it been a Great Truck . 4x4 crew cab. I'm very happy with it

Don't forget the Titan motor and transmission swap. Same bolt patterns.

One thing that people may find an important consideration is turn radius. It’s not good. Not a deal breaker for me but just another consideration. Love my 2019 pro 4x. I get pretty decent mpg with 1.5 inch lift and 33s just using cruise and going like 60-65- slowing down helps a bunch and is safer if you have deer in the area and less tickets saves money too. One of the best features of the frontier that I’ve never heard anybody mention is that there is no seatbelt alarm! :) you think think this is minor but if drive stop and go on dirt roads a lot- those alarms are pretty damn annoying.. thanks Nissan!

I’m looking to buy a 2014-2015 and had many questions but this video cleared everything up for me. Very informative. Thank you !!

Can we make this video mandatory to watch for everyone joining the club? Lol

Thanks for the video, I have a 2019 Frontier SV extended cab 4x4. The last year of the 4.0 liter V6, a automatic purchased off the lot new for 28K. The best value in a midsized truck at the time it replaced a 2016 GMC Canyon extra cab that turned to junk at 22, 000 miles. I don't off road with it thats what my Honda SXS is for. The Frontier is a great companion for my 2018 370Z coupe for when I want to zip around. I purchased them both for what a optioned out full sized truck would have cost. I do NOT regret it for a moment.

Bought a 2018 pro 4x 3 weeks ago and love it. Ordered ADO diff breather relocation kit on Dec 21st and it was at my house on the 23rd!!. Great service! Thanks ADO. I'll be ordering a lift as soon as I have the funds.

[LPaulBaker]

Just found out my 2012 has the differential seal issue but am glad to hear I should be able to fix it on my own. Thanks for this video.

I bought a '05 Frontier SE 4x2 with the 6 speed and drove it 85, 000 mls. I had it for 10 years before I've sold it. I really enjoyed it especially with the 6 speed. Now I purchased a brand new '20 Frontier PRO-4X and it drives different from the 4.0 to the 3.8 and its 9 speed. It feels more powerful and smoother.

I ended up with a ‘19 SL 4x4. I found it juuuust barely pre covid for around the same price as the SV i was initially looking at and it’s a massive improvement over the SV i test drove first. Still waiting on my lift with koni shocks from you guys!

i recently did a complete engine rebuild on a 4.0 frontier, came out perfect no check engine light. New crank, new rod, and all the other stuff rings, bearings, chains, etc. Nissan said they cant do it, so did everyone else, Took me 2 in a half weeks

I've a 2014 crew cab, 4.0 v6. Bought with 21k miles in July 2016, certified pre-owned from selling dealership where the truck was purchased from and traded back to with the 21k miles. Owner traded on a newer Frontier. Its now Jan 2021 and I have 67k miles. The dealership is still doing my complimentary oil changes, tire rotations and inspections. Knock on wood... no problems so far. I get 16 to 17 mpgs in mixed driving (not impressive). I just completed a drive to florida (where I sit typing this). My fuel calculations showed at most 20 to 21 mpgs on all interstate driven tanks of fuel.(not impressive). Not sure if it matters but I was mostly running 80ish miles per hour with traffic....with ease. That may have dropped potentially better gas mileage. I barely had the fuel pedal pressed to do the 80ish miles per hour. Felt like I had the power and torque potential necessary to stomp the gas pedal and easily hit 140. The truck handles like a champ on the interstate at 80+- miles per hour. Holds the lane and handles the speed with ease. I'm 6'0" tall and like a stretched out, comfortable driving position. I drove 12 hours and was not at all fatigued upon arrival to sunny Florida. Comfortable driving position and seats are important on such a drive. Frontier has that.
Anyway, gotta roll. The bikini clad women are awaiting me and my Frontier.

I bought my used 2013 Frontier SV V6 with 9;000 miles in 2014 for $22, 000. and have no complaints. I hauled a travel trailer from New England to Florida two years in a row and no problems. I was getting around 9 miles per gallon hauling the camper. I like the way it shifts it’s a smooth shift with the automatic transmission. I have 96, 000 miles on it now and runs like when I bought it. It’s my second Frontier and not my last one. Thanks Nissan
