The 2022 Nissan Frontier (D41) stands out by offering something refreshing&#58; simplicity. The Frontier really brings back the charm of a rugged, no-nonsense truck. These trucks deliver impressive off-road capability and on-road driving manners for arguably the best price in the segment.</p><h3><span style="font-size&#58;12pt;">A Simpler Approach to Ruggedness</span></h3><p>The 2022–2025 Nissan Frontier sticks to its roots, embracing a design that’s all about practicality and durability. Unlike many competitors that have gone the route of overcomplicated designs, the Frontier has kept things simple. Its boxy yet muscular exterior plays into our retro theme.</p><p>Inside, the Frontier is all about function. The cabin is simple and easy to use, with no distracting tech or unnecessary features. This allows the driver to focus on what really matters—the road ahead (or the trail beneath).</p><h3>Surprising Off-Road Performance</h3><p>When it comes to off-road performance, the Frontier doesn’t disappoint. Many don<span id="ms-rterangecursor-start"></span><span id="ms-rterangecursor-end"></span>'t expect this midsize truck to perform as well as it does when you hit the trails, but with the help of Nissan’s advanced traction control system, the Frontier is more than capable of overcoming some serious off-road challenges.</p><div style="margin-top&#58;14px;margin-bottom&#58;14px;"><div class="ms-rtestate-read ms-rte-embedcode ms-rtestate-notify ms-rte-embedil" unselectable="on" style=""><center unselectable="on"><video width="70%" controls="" unselectable="on">
  <source src="https&#58;//bm44.blob.core.windows.net/blog/frontier%20traction%20control.mp4" type="video/mp4" unselectable="on" />
</video></center></div><br></div><p>The Frontier’s system, similar to Toyota’s A-TRAC, works wonders when navigating loose, muddy, or uneven terrain. It intelligently adjusts braking force applied to each wheel, ensuring that the wheels with the most traction get the power they need to keep you moving. Whether you’re tackling mud, rocks, steep hills, or sand, the Frontier keeps you confident and in control. It’s the kind of off-road capability you wouldn’t expect from a midsize truck at this price, but it’s there when you need it.</p><h3>Our Testing</h3><p>We tested our 2024 Frontier S 4x4 for six months on various trails, both stock and modified. In its stock form, the traction control system was impressive. We took this truck on trails it had no business being on, and it handled them effortlessly. However, we couldn’t help but dream of more ground clearance and a set of more aggressive tires.</p><p>Next, we added a 2.5-inch lift with Bilstein shocks, Nismo upper control arms, and 33-inch BFGoodrich KO2 tires. With the upgrades in place, we immediately hit the Gold Valley trails in Plumas National Forest—most notably the Snake Lake 4x4 Trail. At this point, the truck was rock crawling alongside Jeeps with ease.</p><p>The bottom section of Snake Lake Trail, climbing up to the lake, proved to be some of the most technical and challenging wheeling we’ve encountered. It was a maze of large boulders, fallen trees, loose, cobbly hill climbs, and tight turns. Despite these obstacles, the Frontier handled the trail remarkably well—with very little assistance from spotters. This is where the Frontier’s off-road traction system truly came into its own.</p><p>With the transfer case in 4-low and no locker engaged, all it took was steady, consistent throttle application. The truck automatically figured out which wheels needed braking and which ones should spin, and it would claw its way through, up, or over anything in its path. It was incredible to see how the system worked in real time, allowing the Frontier to power through obstacles that would have stumped lesser trucks.</p><h3>Final Thoughts&#58; The Simple, Rugged Pickup for Today</h3><p>The 2022 Nissan Frontier (D41) offers the perfect balance between old-school ruggedness and modern capabilities. With its simple, functional design and excellent off-road performance—thanks to its advanced traction control system—it stands out as a no-nonsense truck that can handle whatever life (or nature) throws at it. Add in the sleek exterior styling, and the Frontier proves that rugged doesn’t have to mean boring.</p><p>For those who crave adventure, utility, and good looks in one package, the Nissan Frontier delivers all that and more. If you’re in the market for a truck that’s ready for the road less traveled but still has the style and features to fit your daily life, the 2022 Nissan Frontier might just be the perfect ride.</p><br></div></div><p></p></div></p></div>

2022–2025 Nissan Frontier (D41) is a rugged, capable mid-size truck with a durable design, simple interior, and impressive off-road performance. Its advanced traction control ensures confidence on any terrain, making it the perfect adventure-ready pickup.

Ryan spent his youth tinkering with old BMWs, falling in love with their classic designs (and becoming well-acquainted with their frequent need for repairs). Josh, on the other hand, was immersed in 90s GM vehicles, gaining hands-on experience in the art of constant car maintenance. Their shared experiences under the hood forged a bond that would later drive their off-roading adventures.</span></p><p><span style="font-family&#58;calibri;font-size&#58;16px;">For over ten years, Ryan and Josh have been conquering trails and exploring the great outdoors. Their off-roading escapades taught them the ins and outs of vehicle performance, durability, and the importance of reliable equipment. It was during these adventures that they found inspiration in the bold lines and classic aesthetics of vintage off-road trucks, sparking a vision to bring retro designs back to life.<span id="ms-rterangecursor-start"></span><span id="ms-rterangecursor-end"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family&#58;calibri;font-size&#58;16px;">After putting a base model Nissan Frontier through its paces off-road, Ryan and Josh were impressed by its capabilities. However, they realized that the aftermarket offerings for the Frontier were lacking, especially for enthusiasts seeking retro-inspired designs. This revelation sparked an idea&#58; why not create their own solutions?</span></p><p><span style="font-size&#58;12pt;font-family&#58;calibri;"><br></span></p><p><span style="font-size&#58;16pt;font-family&#58;calibri;"><strong>Introducing Bushmaster 4x4</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family&#58;calibri;font-size&#58;17.3333px;">With a vision to provide friendly, helpful advice and unique products, Ryan and Josh founded Bushmaster 4x4. Their mission is to offer simple, affordable, and distinctive parts that pay homage to the retro designs of the 70s and 80s. They believe that upgrading your vehicle shouldn't break the bank—or your spirit.</span></p><p><span style="font-family&#58;calibri;font-size&#58;17.3333px;">Drawing inspiration from the Datsun off-road days, Bushmaster 4x4's products blend nostalgic aesthetics with modern reliability. Their upcoming line includes a sport bar, retro decals, Datsun-inspired wheels, and complete suspension lift kits. Each product is designed to enhance your Nissan Frontier's performance while giving it a timeless look.</span></p><p><br></p><p style="text-align&#58;center;"><br></p><div style="text-align&#58;center;"><img src="https&#58;//bm44.blob.core.windows.net/website/frontierExtended.jpg" style="font-size&#58;11pt;max-width&#58;100%;width&#58;500px;height&#58;566px;" data-themekey="#" /></div></div></div><p></p></div><p></p></div><p></p></div><p></p></div><p></p></div>
