Is the 2022 Nissan Frontier a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Nissan Frontier earns a 4.66/5 user rating and an 8.33/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise the truck’s design, comfort, roomy cabin, and powerful engine. The Frontier also gets credit for being a solid upgrade with a comfortable cabin and strong overall value.

The main trade-offs are heavy steering and poor fuel economy, and some owners also point to rear seat space as a drawback. For you, that means the Frontier makes the most sense if you want a capable midsize truck with a strong feature set and can live with a few rough edges.

Is the 2022 Nissan Frontier reliable?

Owners rate it 4.66/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback also points to a truck that feels dependable, with praise for its solid upgrade character, comfortable cabin, and powerful engine. That kind of feedback suggests you’re looking at a model that many drivers feel good about living with over time.

The expert review also describes the Frontier as a straightforward, work-ready truck with a proven-feeling character. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that mixed reliability sentiment means you should be especially careful about maintenance history and overall condition.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Nissan Frontier?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any truck you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks the steering feel, cabin condition, and any signs of hard use, especially if the truck was used for towing or off-road driving.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lowest-level S trim uses an 8-inch touchscreen, while the PRO-4X gets a 9-inch screen and charcoal leather seating exclusive to the off-road-ready PRO-4X and 2WD PRO-X trims. If you want the most rugged look and hardware, the PRO-4X is the one to focus on.
• Powertrain: The Frontier uses a 3.8-liter V6 with 310 horsepower and 281 pound-feet of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic and available RWD or 4WD. It’s strong for passing and towing, but fuel economy is not a strength.
• Safety package: Nissan Safety Shield 360 includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, a driver attention monitor, intelligent forward collision warning, trailer sway control, rear-door alert, and an easy-fill tire alert. The Technology Package adds blind-spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control.
• Infotainment: The Frontier gets a standard 8-inch touchscreen on S and SV trims, while PRO-4X models get a 9-inch screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, but they require a wired connection, and wireless projection is not supported.
• Fuel efficiency: Rear-wheel-drive models are rated at 18 mpg city, 24 highway, 20 combined, while four-wheel-drive models are rated at 17/22/19. The expert review also cites 19 mpg combined as the Frontier’s fuel economy rating.

Which 2022 Nissan Frontier trim should I buy?

The 2022 Nissan Frontier is offered in 4 trim levels: S, SV, PRO-X, PRO-4X.

Here's the short version:

• S: This is the entry point, and it gives you the Frontier’s core strengths at the lowest price. It’s the trim to consider if you want the best value and can live without the larger screen and extra equipment found higher up.
• SV: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds more everyday usability while staying close to the Frontier’s value-focused mission. It’s a smart middle ground if you want a better-equipped truck without jumping to the off-road models.
• PRO-X: Choose this if you want the PRO-4X look but do not need 4WD. It keeps the styling cues while dropping the locking differential and skid plates.
• PRO-4X: This is the trim to buy if you want the most off-road capability. It adds hill-start assist, hill-descent control, an electronic locking rear differential, Bilstein shock absorbers, skid plates, and a surround-view monitor with off-road mode.

The Technology Package adds blind-spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Nissan Frontier?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,440 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.82% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $26,842, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Nissan Frontier's resale value?

The current average of $27,239 sits slightly below last year's $28,923.

That softer pricing suggests the Frontier has already moved through a meaningful part of its depreciation curve, which can help future sellers if demand stays steady. If you buy at the right price and keep the truck in good condition, you may have a better chance of limiting your loss when it’s time to sell.

The current market also shows that shoppers still respond well to the Frontier’s value and equipment mix. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.66/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Nissan Frontier safe?

The 2022 Nissan Frontier hasn’t been crash-tested yet by either NHTSA or IIHS.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Nissan Safety Shield 360 comes standard and includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, a driver attention monitor, intelligent forward collision warning, trailer sway control, rear-door alert, and an easy-fill tire alert. Eight airbags also come standard, and the Technology Package adds blind-spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control.

Because this is a redesigned truck, you should pay close attention to the availability of the driver-assistance features you want, especially if you’re comparing lower trims against models with the Technology Package.

Should I buy a 2022 Nissan Frontier or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.82% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.66/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 brings a redesigned cabin, stronger tech, and real off-road capability.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $32,258, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $27,239 average.
• It adds only minor tweaks and a few additional standard features.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2022 is the smarter buy because it delivers the redesign, strong equipment, and softer pricing. If you’re willing to pay more for a newer model with minor updates, the 2023 is the cleaner alternative, but price-sensitive buyers should focus on the 2022.
