It's a $3,890 package that can be added to the the SV trim, so prices should be pretty reasonable, at least compared to the rest of the industry. This is seriously awesome, and I like it way more than I should. https://www.thedrive.com/news/2024-nissan-frontier-hardbody-edition-is-a-rad-80s-throwback |

The front end is hideous on all Frontiers and even though it's brand new the styling is nearly as dated as the last generation already. 17 years and that's the best they could do. Pathetic.
I don't mind this package though or the exterior rear of the front quarter panels. |

I wish they would put larger beds on them
I wish they did that with a lot of trucks to give me more options |

Quoted: I wish they would put larger beds on them I wish they did that with a lot of trucks to give me more options View Quote Frontier does come with the "long bed" option of 6ft. You aren't getting much more than that in a midsized. As for the trim itself.. while I do like the nostalgia bits companies are doing I find it hard to justify a $4k appearance package. If I were to go for a Nissan I'd rather a Pro-4x over a SV with a black bumper and a Roll bar I'd probably end up removing. |

They couldn't figure out how to update the headlights while retaining the old sealed beam form factor? Lame.

Add some backwards facing seats in the cargo bed and I'm in.

The package costs more than a new hardbody did when they came out

I have been very happy with the 2022 Pro 4X crew cab I am currently driving.

View Quote Its not that's it's dated, it's that it's copying too many elements from full size trucks - which it is not. It ends up just looking silly. Talking of updating designs, what Land Rover did with the Defender turned out pretty well. Im sure many would say the old style was fine though. |

So an extra $4k for a pep boys fake roll bar, cheaper steel wheels, and some stickers? Seems like a Biden 2024 bumper sticker would accomplish the same thing for a lot less money.

Where did they find an old one that hadn't been reduced to a pile of rust?

I see alot of new nissan trucks in my area. Guys that used to drive Ford. I sometimes wonder if my whole town is on GD

I bought a Nissan frontier in 2011 for $23k. I thought of buying a new truck but ita all too expensive and it's going to get worse

I used to have the Hardbody ('89) w 5-sp manual trans. It looked just like the pic in the post except blue color, 10 yrs and 118k miles with nothing more than regular oil changes and 1 set of plugs, until it was stolen and stripped for parts.
Years later, a 2015 Pro 4X and now 2023 Pro 4X as a pre-retirement gift . Much better than a dressed up SV. Attached File |

I am in the market for a new truck soon. Have been looking at the Frontier. Agree with others here as far as the cost of this package really doesn't do much.

Quoted: I have been very happy with the 2022 Pro 4X crew cab I am currently driving. View Quote I love my 2019 Pro-4X. I just wish people would stop hitting it. I bought it in August 2021. Four weeks to the day later, an old guy rear-ended it at a red light, luckily only scratching the plastic piece of the bumper between the license plate and trailer hitch. Last summer, someone dragged their car down the driver's side pulling into or out of a parking spot at the VA hospital in an area not covered by cameras. I ended up having to have the rear corner panel, driver's side rear door, and step bar replaced through my insurance. Earlier this week, I noticed someone did the same thing, this time, though, they just left small dents on the front and rear of the driver's side rear fender. Assholes. I'm not going to bother repairing the latest damage, as it's barely noticeable and I don't plan to sell the truck. my older daughter has said she wants it when she gets her license in a little over four years. So, I'll give it to her knowing she'll likely do more damage on her own. At that time, I'll likely buy a new one for myself. |

You can get any number of 1/2, 3/4, etc. tons in 5.5, 6, 6.75, 8ft. What other options do you want. |

i miss my old hard body pu. manual front hubs, mt, v6=great little truck

I think with Toyota going down the 4 cylinder turbo charged road, the NA 3.8L V6 in the Frontier will become more popular. My best friend had one and it was very nice, he sold it for a Silverado to pull a bigger boat he bought

View Quote Nissan is targeting the demographic that wants what a Tacoma is supposed to be but aren't interested in paying the inflated prices for a truck that the Tacoma isn't My 2011 has been a great truck, probably the most trouble free vehicle I've owned. 212k miles with nothing but fluid changes, a serp belt, plugs, tires and a set of brakes. Bilstein 5100s when I decided to do a small lift. Attached File |

I miss my 1990. It got the job done what I asked it to do. Had a radio, heater, and AC. That was it, and 4wd. Adjusted for inflation price of $23k I think.
Had to be cut out of it. Stopped for a deputy in front of me to make a left turn. Dipshit in a van behind me never slowed from 60. |

Why are all truck beds like 5 plus feet high now? The OG Nissan you could reach over the side of the bed and grab shit. Now you need a ladder to access the beds from the outsides.

To me that was not enough to swing me over to Nissan. |

best god damn small truck you can buy right now.
it's a real truck that ARF claims they want at a good price. but none of you buy it, just still giving the shitty Fords and Toyollas the big sloppy tops |

Quoted: Jeep Gladiator is an embarrasment of a truck for wanna-be tough guys. View Quote I got a chance to drive a new Gladiator last month, car rental company had a few on the lot so I tried one to the job site. Overall, it's a Jeep, a bit quirky and not my cup of 4x4 tea, but people around here seemed to like them so to each its own IMO. |
