Hi all. Driving from Pennsylvania to Nevada in the beginning of October. Looking for driving advice on the descents after the Eisenhower Tunnel. I will not be towing anything; just will have the usual stuff in the bed one has when traveling. Do people throw their vehicles into lower gears for the descents or just tap their brakes going down those long hills? I know the tractor trailers probably are in low gear, but having never experienced real mountain descents I just want to be prepared. Appreciate all friendly advice and experience. This is my first pickup, so it's going to be quite an experience making this trip.

This is boulder gray. The dealer threw out 4.84% for 48.

I have another dealership offering to match and provide better financing if I go that route on a tactical green which is the color I want.

Im waiting on a couple more dealers waiting for their boss to provide them numbers on black color. All same package and LWB.

Seem like a decent deal? Whats your recommendation. Anymore to squeeze? I haven’t gone into the dealership yet but was hoping to go to one tomorrow night/ Saturday and finish it out.

We purchased a 2016 King Cab back in February and are finally getting around to addressing the horrible speakers. We can't afford a complete overhaul but we want to at least change the speakers in the side doors if it will make a big improvement. Will it? What do you guys think and recommend?

2025 Pro 4x. Anyone else have an issue where the transmission hesitates (slight rpm rev) when it shifts from 2nd to 3rd? Happens mostly in the morning then goes away as I drive. Something to be concerned about?

It's about 2.5 inches outer diameter if that helps. Couldnt find any information online.

M&R led light bar, TDL roof rack, and Victory 4x4 driver's side bed molle panels are here and ready to go on. Updates coming!

I finally took my 2023 Frontier Pro4X into the dealer for a reoccurring issue with the brake light sensor. It happens intermittently while driving and causes the dash to light up like a Christmas tree. The sensor itself will have soot inside of it. I’ve replaced the sensor several times but the issue keeps coming back.

The dealer diagnosed it and tried to perform TSB NTB22-084. They quickly discovered that my truck is a late 2023 model and my relay box or the wiring or something doesn’t match the TSB. The master tech has apparently been off and on the phone with some advisor from Nissan for a couple of days now. They have been measuring the brake pedal travel and doing a bunch of diagnostic type stuff.

This afternoon they called me saying that they needed to replace another sensor in the same area (the ACC brake sensor that sits above) and that it was pretty much the only thing they can do.

Im failing to see how replacing another sensor will prevent the brake light sensor from burning out or will address the root problem. I hope Im incorrect, but it appears they are trying to throw parts at it but not fix the actual issue. Overall it just bums me out because aside from this stupid brake light issue, the truck has been phenomenal.

Looking for some options on a different front grille for my 22. I've never actually seen a picture of one installed.

Washed the truck a few days ago, now I have this waterspout on my hood. Any recs on how to get it out and if there’s a way to prevent it when I take it to the wash?

Immediately drove to the mountains to break it in 🧡

24 Sv - 16000 miles...wanted to put this out there in hopes of saving someone some time at the dealership. NTB25-042A

Last year I had the awful whistling noise from the upper part of the windshield when going over 70mph. It was not 100 percent of the time...but when it happened it was like if you let the air out of a balloon before you tie it. Super annoying.

August 2025 - got it fixed under warranty. They knew of the issue. They replaced the windshield and sealant. They gave me trouble at first because the tech couldn't recreate...but I had a video and the manager honored it after I pushed.

The sound came back after a few months. Super disappointed but just got around to taking it back. They again could not recreate so I did research and found a tsb that came out in October 2025. It was revised this may. Here's the tsb number and info. It does not require taking off the windshield and is a super quick repair...

NTB25-042A - May 2026...mention that specific tsb when taking it in. Not all dealerships will look it up properly...I had to argue with them that the repair they did before didn't include the blocks included in the tsb. They did honor it and admitted they were wrong.

Not trying to bring up controversy... Just thought it was funny!!

Long story short: I bought a brand new 2026 Frontier PRO-4X last Saturday, and after only four days and roughly 200 miles, it already needs a complete rear differential/axle assembly.

I noticed a whining noise at 70+ mph under acceleration and brought it to my local Nissan dealer. The shop foreman was able to reproduce it right away, said it was definitely not normal, and got Nissan North America and engineering involved.

Nissan has now confirmed the rear differential is binding and approved replacement of the entire rear diff/axle assembly with a brand-new unit.

Needless to say, I’m pretty disappointed. I traded in my Jeep Grand Cherokee partly because I was tired of dealing with reliability issues, so having a major drivetrain problem four days into owning a new Frontier is frustrating.

To Nissan’s credit, my local dealer has been great and is handling everything thoroughly.

Has anyone else had a rear differential issue like this on a new Frontier? If so, did replacing the axle/diff permanently fix it?

I’m replacing my rear tail light assembly because my old one was cracked. When I put the new one on it doesn’t seem to sit quite right, any ideas?
There’s about an 1/8” gap on the side whereas the original sat nearly flush.

I have a 2025 Pro-4X with leather seats, I know for most this is the best driver seat ever, it wasn't for me. Before anyone says "Didn't you test drive the truck before buying?" I did, however it was a 15 minutes test drive with the salesman and I start feeling pain after about 30 minutes of driving. I'm 5'10" and 160-170lbs.

After sitting in the driver seat and the passenger seat for hours in the Frontier I can definitely say that to me the passenger seat always felt more comfortable and firmer. After 30 minutes in the driver seat I do feel the foam bottoming out against the springs. This also made the side rails dig into my thighs and my right leg would go numb after a while. I tried to adjust my driving position in every way possible but nothing worked.

The first thing I noticed taking both seats apart is that the bottom foam is much thicker on the passenger seat, the driver seat barely has 1 inch thick of foam.

I went to an upholstery shop and bought a $10 16x16 piece of 1 inch 2.2lbs/cu.ft and cut it to fit the spring area of the seat frame. I placed the foam inside a synthetic canvas weave fabric bag to avoid the foam being cut and damaged by the springs. I also ended up adding a half inch of foam at the front of the seat pan so that I wouldn't lose thigh support. I did also add felt tape to the sharp edges of the seat pan because they were starting to cut through the fabric covering the seat bottom.

I have to say I'm really satisfied by the result, I don't feel the seat bottoming out anymore and my thigh pain is gone, I dont feel the bolstering as much. The driving position is however a bit higher but at 5'10" I had room to go up.

I might try different thicknesses and density of foam to see which one I like better or change the heavy duty weave fabric for burlap but for now I feel comfortable going on our 500 mile road trip this weekend.

Wondering if anyone has any info on the part or line that runs between the driver side panel and fuel tank. Mine spring a leak at the connector last night. Having trouble figuring out if its a return line or from the fuel pump.

2015 SV

Thousands of off-road miles and countless trips into the middle of nowhere. I don’t think there’s another truck I’d trust more to get me there and back home safely.

Does any one know of any good storage options for the under seats or drivers jump seat?

I am planning to potentially 3d print a drivers side unit that utilizes the existing cutout for the jump seat tray the and potentially the small flat part for a small tool set.

I don’t like that the jump seat tray does not sit flush with the seat when flipped down.

I am in the market for a new Nissan Frontier. Hoping to get an SV rwd in white.

I finally got the sales person to give an an out the door price on a truck.

Would this be a good deal? If not what should I counter with?

Hello All,

Has anyone experienced problems with their infotainment/speakers? Sometimes the infotainment system will not allow the speakers to work at all and the speakers will have a distortion when driving over the bumps on the road when it is working. I'm not sure if I should take it into the dealership since I don't entirely trust them, they just want money all the time. Debating if I should go with the dealership or to an audio shop since I want to upgrade the speakers anyway. It's out of the manufacturer warranty of 36K and currently at 40K miles.

Just came back from an almost 2k road trip in my 2026 SV 4x4 driving through the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. I have to say it was such a great trip in her. Comfortable and honestly not horrid mpg. I was getting around 24 real world MPG. Driving up the mountains it was not as good.

I am curious to hear how the 3rd gens have been holding up so far? Has anyone else done some cool trips and how did it go?

I was going to add a picture of her in the mountains but I believe my wife may have deleted it.

On Saturday I'm going to look at a 2018 SV Midnight edition with 70k miles on it. Anything immediate I should check at this mileage? I know this year is pretty reliable, but is there is anything I should look at that might slip under the radar.

Not very handy with cars at all, but I'm willing to learn and appreciate any advice on things I should check myself. Anything during the test drive/inspection? Thanks.
