 What's up you guys, welcome back to another one. If you're new to the channel, I am Goldpony Edgy, new car truck, SCV reviews on YouTube and today, we are in the brand new 2024 Nissan Frontier SV, courtesy of younger Nissan in Frederick, Maryland, for more information on their inventory. Please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. So today we are in this one because this is a relatively affordable pickup truck from Nissan. It competes with the Toyota Tacoma, Honda Ridgeline and Ford Ranger, just to name a few. So ultimately in this video, we will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering feel, ride quality, sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing and size. You can imagine there are a couple different configurations for the Frontier SV. First one being the King Cab 4x2, going for $32,470, which is a modest $580 bump from the 2023 model year. Then you have the Crew Cab 4x2, going for $33,870. Then there is the Crew Cab Long Bed 4x4 for $39,700. And so with the pricing for those first two configurations, yes, 4x4 is available just simply at $3,000 to either of those prices. But regardless of the configuration you go with, the power plant on the Frontier SV is going to be the same. Powering the Beast is a 3.8 liter direct injected V6, putting out 310 horsepower at 6,400 RPM, 281 pound-feet of torque, coming in at 4,400 RPM. Power being sent to the rear wheels or all wheels through a nine-speed automatic, zero to 60 time coming in at approximately 7.5 seconds. That's plenty respectable for what this vehicle is. With MPG numbers coming in at 18 in the city, 24 in the highway for the rear-wheel drive, 17 city, 22 then on the highway for the four-wheel drive taking regular, unleaded fuel. So now that we got all of that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find us straight away. Let's put the Frontier here to the test and let's see how quickly we can get our new 2024 Nissan Frontier here. All right, just pulling out onto the road here in three, two, one, go! It's not bad. That's pretty quick. I gotta be honest. For a pickup truck, that's pretty quick. Zero to 60 is 7.5 seconds. That is plenty of an acceleration to merge you onto any type of highway. So honestly, for what this vehicle is, that's perfectly fine. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration, braking is equally important. And yes, the braking is equally impressive actually. Of course, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes do come standard but the braking feel, 100% on the firm side. Why is that? 60's your stopping distance? Comes in at 115 feet. That is a sports sedan number. Typically with trucks, you find 130's. With regular sedans, you find 120's. 115 feet is like Genesis G70 or like an Audi sports sedan or something like that. So why Nissan put that kind of braking on the Frontier? I have no idea but I love it. The braking feels absolutely wonderful. So kudos to you Nissan, you crushed it with that. Then touching on suspension and handling, up front you're gonna get an independent double wishbone type front suspension. In the back, over slung multi-leaf rear suspension front stabilizer bar as well. Then if you were to go with a crew cab, you will get also a rear stabilizer bar to go along with all that. As far as ride quality goes, it's actually been perfectly fine on my short little test drive here today. And we'll say Frederick has some pretty punishing roads but so far so good. I'm just gonna put it that way. As far as steering feel goes, that's one you're not gonna believe until you actually drive the Frontier. It is the heaviest steering feel on a pickup truck. I think I've said this before so I personally love it. It's just something that you gotta get used to if you're not used to driving with that heavy of a steering feel because it is such a heavy steering feel. It's almost as if there's no power steering, although there is. I'm just saying it's a very heavy steering feel which is pretty cool. Less heavy at higher speeds but at lower speeds you can definitely tell. Anyways, as far as cabin noise goes that is actually been perfectly fine as well on my short little test drive here today. Not a heck of a lot of wind noise or road noise coming into the cabin so no issues there. And touching on rear visibility I can see 100% perfectly fine on my rear view mirror here in typical truck fashion you're not gonna have any issues there either. But that pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review guys. Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2024 Nissan Frontier SV. All right so here she is you guys the new 2024 Nissan Frontier finished in tactical green. In case you were curious of our exact exterior color name that we had on this one. But as always let's go ahead and start with where the Frontier is made. Taking a look at the vent. First character is the number one indicating that the new 2024 Frontier is built and assembled here in the US. But now let's go ahead and make our way to the front. Gloss metallic front grille does come standard. You're gonna get some steel front skid plates coming standard for the Frontier SV as well. I gotta love that. Front tow hooks are gonna come with the crew cab long bed. Otherwise they are going to be optional. To the sides halogen headlights do come standard on the Frontier SV. They come with the automatic feature as well meaning when it starts to get dark in at night the headlights will turn on automatically for you there. Automatic high beams are going to be optional if you wanted those. And then LED daytime running lights also going to be optional. But cool thing is just below those headlights fog lights are going to come standard on the crew cab. LED fog lights are going to be optional if you wanted a little added illumination at night there. But one last thing I wanted to mention in the front is you do get some Frontier lettering found on the upper portion of that front grille just in front of the hood. So thought that was a nice little accent to this one as well. But anyways, that pretty much rounds out the front end of the Frontier. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the side. All right, something else since you are around to the side of this one. Rear privacy glass does come standard. Body colored power adjustable sign mirrors coming standard as well. Heated sign mirrors though are going to be optional. King cab or crew cab configurations. Of course, in case you were curious we do have the crew cab with us here today. So we'll be testing out that rear leg room in a little bit here. But then take a look down at the wheel setup 17 inch six spoke aluminum alloys will come standard. And then running boards are optional for the crew cab. We don't have them with us here today. So for reference I guess here's a shot of me getting in and out of the actual Frontier here. So I personally didn't need them maybe if you're a little shorter individual I'm six feet tall, you may. I don't know if it was perfectly fine for me though. But anyways, that pretty much rounds out the side profile. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the back. All right, something else since we are around to the back of this one. You are going to find some Frontier lettering found on that rear tailgate. Big and bold letters of course. LED tail lights actually do come standard on the Frontier. I love that. Didn't expect to find that. Added illumination at night there. You do have some trim level badging of course back there. Now whether or not you have the four wheel drive version as well of course. But there is also a nice little towing setup here with some connectors and towing capacity by the way comes in at 6,270 pounds. In case you plan on doing any towing with the Frontier and then just below it all, there is a single exhaust outlet tucked away down there on the passenger side. So having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next. As always here is that exhaust clip. All right, something else since we are around to the back of the Frontier when it comes to opening that rear tailgate. It is an easy lower tailgate so it's not going to come crashing down on you. So I did like that. But as far as the bed length goes, it comes in at 73.3 inches. The bed width comes in at 61.4 inches between the wheel wells, 44.5 inches in case you were curious about the specs of that. Payload capacity, 1,600 pounds again in case you were curious. Spray on bed liner is going to be optional. 120 volt power outlet also going to be optional. We do have a couple of those options there. So I did love to see that. Overhead cargo bed lighting is going to come standard but that LED bed lighting is going to be optional. Once again, we had that option as well. So there's a very, very nice setup here in the bed of this particular Frontier that we have today. So then making our way up to the rear legroom that is going to come in at 26.2 inches for the King cab. However, like I said, we have the crew cab that comes in at 33.2 inches. For reference, I mean even six feet tall. This is how much space I had back there. Another cool thing about the rear seats, of course in typical truck fashion is they are a 60, 40 split flip up bench sheet. So if you have a mass of it for a great day or something, you could put him back there. So that's pretty cool. Rear center armrest with cup holders is going to come standard on our crew cab that we have here today. USB-A and USB-C charging ports back there. 120 volt power outlet as well. And of course you got the sliding rear window for the crew cab at least. It is a manual sliding rear window but still nonetheless, it's pretty stinking cold edges back there. But then make your way up to the front seats, manually adjustable claw seating coming with the king cab. Six way power driver seat with two way power lumbar for the crew cab. Claw seating does come standard either way but leather seating is optional for the crew cab as well as heated seats also being optional for the crew cab. Overall as far as seat comfort goes, it was okay. I'll put it that way. The seats were the most comfortable seats I've ever tested because there are some horizontal seams that did create some awkward pressure points. But other than that most vehicles do have that but vertical seams are the way to go Nissan if you're really thinking of comfort but let's take a look at the steering wheel. It is not telescoping, it is tilt. But I did want to emphasize that as far as finding my perfect driving position, it was okay. I made it work but for taller individuals that have to put their seat back a little bit further just know that you're going to have to extend your arms possibly a little further as well because again it is not telescoping. But now let's go ahead and make our way to the startup. Let me start by showing you guys the key here. You got your Nissan logo on the top lock unlock. That circular button is your remote start because for $375 if you wanted that option but it is all key list entry with a push button start coming standard so all I'm going to do here is simply put my foot on the brake and press that engine start button located just by the driver's right knee. And so once started up, tachometers on your left speedometer is on your right. There is a fairly large digital display front and center which you can control by using the steering wheel mounted controls found on the left side of the steering wheel there. That gives you things like a digital speedometer of course, trip A, trip B. There's some really cool off-road statistics. That's probably what I would leave it on. I think that's pretty stickin' cool. Got some auxiliary gauges displayed up there. There's also your fuel information, radio information, safety features, tire pressure indicator for each individual tire. I always love seeing that. So outside temperature, how many miles you'll have left pretty much everything you possibly want on the digital portion of the gauges. But now let's go ahead and make our way to overall interior quality. Power Mooner if it's gonna be optional for the crew cab we don't have that option unfortunately. However, we do have an overhead sun glass holder that will come standard, that's pretty cool. Homelink controls go for $110 if you wanted those. Dual Zoom climate control coming standard on the crew cab, wireless phone charger is gonna be optional on the crew cab. But if you don't get that wireless phone charger just in front of the shifter you do have rubberized storage. You can always put yourself in there. Beside the shifter there you got your dual cupholders a little more rubberized storage behind those cupholders and other cell phone perhaps. But then the center armrest you actually do have a decent amount of storage in there and some little slots for pens and pencils and permanent markers and whatnot on the backside of that center armrest as well. So overall everything is finished kind of to the point pretty basic for the most part. But I do like the chrome door handles. Most manufacturers I think would have left them as like a matte black so that's pretty cool. And you do have a little bit of rubberized storage just above the infotainment screen here. So another little added touch there. But speaking of the infotainment screen let's go ahead and take a look at that real quick. Eight inch color touch screen display does come standard Bluetooth and audio streaming coming along with that Android Auto Apple CarPlay. Factory navigation system is gonna be optional. You can of course check out your radio information up there as well. So when it comes to the sound systems you're gonna find six speakers coming standard. However, there is an optional 10 speaker fender sound system available for the crew cab. We don't have that option with us here today. So we do got the six speaker sound system. So having said that what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and turn on the radio see what we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one. It's actually not bad. That was a ton of bass for six speakers. I always say this Nissan crushes it with their base no matter what sound system they have in their vehicles whether it be an upgraded or a standard sound system they always do a really good job with that. Clarity was just okay. It's not bad. It'll get the job done. But the base is really where it's at. I'm surprised. Anyways, last thing I wanna mention to you guys on the infotainment screen at least is when you do put the frontier in reverse we'll find a rear view camera coming standard across the board letting you know who or what is behind you which as always is going to lead us into safety. And so to start front side, side curtain airbags do come standard driver and passenger knee airbags as well. In the back you're gonna have latch AKA lower anchors to tether your children for the rear car seats, rear child door locks tire pressure monitoring system but there is an available technology package it goes for $990. And that essentially gives you all the advanced safety that you may be looking for that includes lane departure warning blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert rear sonar system rear automatic braking high beam assist that's what I was mentioning you guys with the headlights they're optional with that package and adaptive cruise control then as well. So overall when it comes to my final thoughts here at the frontier I still do like the design I think it looks dang good. Great steering feel I love a heavy steering feel I know that's not for everybody but personally I love a heavy steering feel I think that's amazing. Speaking of amazing the braking 60 to zero and 115 feet that's a sports sedan number like I said and that is incredible especially for a pickup truck as far as room for improvement goes this steering wheel is not telescoping and if you want telescoping steering wheel I guess you can go with the Titan because I knew that one is but I don't know why for whatever reason Nissan didn't make the steering wheel telescoping that's just odd. Also LED headlights should come standard in this day and age when you can get LED headlights standard across the board for cars like a Corolla or a Civic and things like that they should definitely come standard on a $40,000 frontier as well in my personal opinion but anyways let me know what you guys think of the frontier in the comments section below that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much for watching feel free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the screen if you want to see what's coming next on the channel before it gets to YouTube be sure to hit the subscribe and the bell notification button if you're in a new car reviews that is what we do here on this channel after all do appreciate you guys watching more than you know and I will see you guys all in the next video stay gold
