The Last ANALOG Truck? 2025 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X Review

Описание: Feel the ROAD, Not the CODE: Why the 2025 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X Stands Out

The 2025 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X offers something increasingly rare in modern trucks - an authentic, connected driving experience where you feel the road, not just the software interpreting it for you. In this review, I explore why this refreshingly analog approach makes the Frontier stand out in a segment dominated by over-complicated tech showcases.

While other trucks focus on adding more screens and digital features, Nissan has carefully modernized the Frontier where it matters while preserving the mechanical connection that makes driving engaging. The hydraulic steering provides actual feedback, the naturally-aspirated V6 delivers power predictably, and the suspension keeps you connected to the terrain instead of isolating you from it. These aren't limitations - they're deliberate choices that enhance the driving experience for enthusiasts who appreciate substance over spec sheets.

The 2025 updates bring meaningful improvements including increased towing capacity (now up to 7,150 pounds), an enhanced off-road camera system that works at actual trail speeds, and a more user-friendly interior with a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen. I'll break down how these changes complement the Frontier's analog character rather than diluting it, and why this approach might just be what many truck buyers have been missing.

KEY SPECIFICATIONS:
• Engine: 3.8L V6, 310 hp @ 6400 RPM, 281 lb-ft @ 4400 RPM
• Transmission: 9-speed automatic

• Suspension: Bilstein off-road shocks, independent front, leaf spring rear
• Ground Clearance: 9.8 inches
• Towing Capacity: Up to 7,150 pounds (6,680 lbs for PRO-4X)
• Curb Weight: 4,759 lbs (SWB), 4,861 lbs (LWB)
