mid sized pick ups

So how did you like that Frontier?
I like a lot of things about them, but don't plan to be in the market to buy for another year or so.

Pre 2019 is a man’s truck , no matter the cab size , the 2021 is still the same body style and fast , but the 9 speed puts the ponies down a bit too smooth for me and the low end torque of the 4.0 with 5 speed is very much in line with a v8 powered truck …
The 2023 new body style and up have a 13 speed automatic transmission is what I think I remember and does not get bunches of praise….
Hear tell it’s a highway ride and also didn’t perform well off road …..

The 2022+ Frontier still has the same 9-speed automatic as the 2020+ Titan/Titan XD and the automatic Z that was recently released.

My dad's 2012 Pilot does the same thing--4WD below 20mph and disengages above that speed. For boat ramps and parking in a field or gravel, that seems perfectly fine.
