Thanks for watching!

Thanks Topher for being the ONLY reviewer to actually speak about the Fender sound system..Every time I drive any car/truck I always listen to my music( like most people) and yet no other reviewers ever talk about the sound system.

[whiskeyearned]

This is my POV every day now. Best vehicle I've ever owned.

23:03 Love this moment. Music stopped for the sound of brakes and then continued

Nissan rules- Fully boxed frame, great engine, made in USA, good value. I own a 2015 Xterra Pro-4X with 82, 000 miles. Only two small warranty issues in almost seven years. Been through blizzards and 115 degree Las Vegas summers.

[jamesj]

Gotta say I'm quite impressed with Nissan products lately. Sat in a bunch at the Chicago Auto Show and the interiors are a nice place to be

[redduck]

I’m glad that smaller trucks are making a comeback. I love having the practicality of a truck bed and a trailer hitch, but I hate driving huge vehicles.

[EngineAdventures]

Hope you liked driving around my testing areas! Just found your channel and I enjoy getting your take on the vehicles! Excellent review!

[pauljiang]

Glad to see Nissan's not using CVT on everything now

[hockeymann]

Nice. I love this thing. Just right size, great looks and based on past experience, it should be reliable.
Keep it up Nissan. Also, you know the time is perfect for an Xterra reboot. Give it front and rear lockers and create a new legend.

[roster]

This is a nice truck, now they just need to bring back the Xterra.

[Usicky]

Wow finally the frontier doesn’t look like a 30 year old truck.

[johng.]

I appreciate the little comments about the AC "coldness" and road noise etc. Never been a fan of the Frontier as a family member has a 2004 (Piece of junk) and often wondered how they complete with the Tacoma and other offerings. This is the first review of the Frontier that is making me take a second look, so great job! (Subscribed!)

I would want to know how this truck competes with the new Chevy Colorado ZR2? Thanks for the review and talking about the little talked about issues like AC strength! (Here in Phoenix, that's a BIG DEAL!)

[clivesouffe]

Enjoy watching your car reviews 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nice to see a new vehicle that has not grown significantly in size compared to last generation.

I dig it; not a show-stopper and improvements were focused on its utility + suspension. Seems like the interior design is pretty similar to the old one, but with updated infotainment/connectivity and good build quality.

[coleathan]

Just got the sv (in green!) and i absolutely love it. First time driving a truck. I’ve had 2 Altima’s and said my last one would be my last Nissan. I then drove th SV and loved it!

[SamFBM]

really like these mid size trucks, its like being in the 90s again. design of this is really sharp and nice too. wish they was in the uk :(

[WyLEE]

Thank you for mentioning the turning radius (about 13 minutes in), I really wish Nissan would have improved that as much needed.

[honaker]

Glad they finally updated the frontier. Now, we can wait for the next refresh 15 years from now. Cash them checks Nissan!

[jettrude]

24:00 the music also stops hahahaha nice timing

[DEA]

Love your videos. And your OCD ha! Thank you for your production quality, too! Awesome work, Topher.
