Anybody excited about the Nissan Frontier?

Man, don't get me wrong, I freakin' love my Tacoma, but the pics I've seen of the 2021 Frontier look pretty sweet. In fact from what I can tell with the wrap on it, it looks to be a very similar shape as the Tacoma.

I drove a Maxima prior to owning my Tacoma and I loved that car.. was pretty fast. I put about 175k miles on it and didn't have one thing go wrong except an O2 sensor went bad. So Nissan definitely seems reliable in my experience.

I guess for me it will depend on the packages and trim levels. In hindsight, I could've gotten away with a barebones 4x4. I don't use any of the extra OR shit... the locker, MTS, crawl control, etc... I have literally never used any of that shit other than to just mess around and try it out. I've never actually had a NEED to use any of that shit. And frankly, the OR ride kinda sucks on the road at high speeds. You hit a bump and the truck bounces in the air and feels like you'll lose traction. Passengers don't seem to love it. And it's not that I don't push it. I've driven this thing up some nasty roads - even drove it up most of a 14,000ft peak in Colorado. I've made it to high trailheads where the only other vehicles there are heavily-modded lifted jeeps and land cruisers with snorkels. I know there are some serious offroaders here, but for the average person who isn't taking their truck to Moab, most of the OR features are a complete waste!

Anyway, my problem is that to get the truck "loaded" you have to either get a Sport, Offroad, or Limited. Would be nice if you could get the leather, premium audio, sunroof, safety technology shit etc. on like an SR or SR5!

Anyway, I digress. Mainly just curious if anybody in here is even considering the new Nissan Frontier next year. I'll probably wait a couple more years, but I'll definitely be looking at the Nissan, especially if the price is lower for what I need.

 

That was a quick move

 

I’m about excited about the new Renault Frontier as I am about getting an anal probe. When’s the last time Nissan/Renault has come out with anything worth buying?

 

No. Not really.

 

The GTR is pretty slick.

 

That came out over 10 years ago.

 

I really loved my SV Crewcab 4x4. It was a well built machine, that did everything I ever asked of it.
I had just always wanted a toyota tacoma, I saw a opportunity to get one, when I could get a good deal, and I had the money so I did it.
I am not dissatisfied with either one if them.

 

I would wait a few years to see if their quality improves before buying one.

 

More competition in the segment is a good thing. I love my Tacoma but the more options, the higher the bar for Toyota.

 

I don't have any plans on buying one, but I like checking out new vehicles.
I would prefer the à la carte style of getting options on my vehicle instead of having to get an options package.

 

My brand new 2018 Pro4X was a flaming POS.

Got rid of it in 6 months, swearing never to darken the doors of a Nissan dealership again.

 

Nope. More interested in that Ford Bronco.

 

Yeah that bronco has alot of attention and for good reason

Hard to not look at a production vehicle that can take 35's dual locker with a sweet crawl ratio granny gear like in the 7 speed manual.

 

Only thing I'd a touch leery about is the TT and doing alot of offroad. I'd imagine with how long the eco has been around it shouldn't be as big of a problem.

 

Nope, Ill pass.
It wasnt that long ago Nissan was jacking everyone around over their crap CVT transmissions.
They are hurting for money now because of it.
That new Bronco ? Yawn! I worked for a Ford dealership recently. Ecoboost engines are junk.
Keep your Toyotas.

 

I’m as excited as Nissan is, which is not very exited at all.



For the right dollar figure, I’m sure the fellas at TFL will love it.

I’d be more interested if we could get the Nissan patrol over here

 

if I had to buy a new truck and the Frontier came with manual transmission, 4x4 and no BS pre-collision sensors crap, I'd go Nissan.

 

Nah, Nissan's aren't good anymore after Renault took them over. Nissan trucks always looked decent but pretty much are just lower quality Toyotas. I would buy an F150 before I bought a nissan
