I first want to thank everyone that has or is on this forum. I have been on here since 2022 learning about the Mavericks.
I saw last year a preview of a different restyled truck not much more in price than a Lariat and others are getting for the 2025 model year. . I only drive 5 miles to work so I started looking for this model year truck and I had a great offer on trading in my 2022 Ford Xlt FX4 AWD Maverick. It had 4k tow , and luxury package also. It had 21,400 miles on it.

This last Saturday I picked up a 2025 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x in Boulder grey pearl with convenience package. It has spray in bed liner, heated seats and steering, 12.2 screen, locking differential, surround cameras, adaptive cruise, locking tailgate, hill descent, 400 watt inverter in bed, 2 120 outlets inside, push button start, wireless phone charger, wireless car play, led lights in the bed, under seat rear storage.
One of the best features is a naturally aspirated 3.8 liter making 310 hp. This is a proven combination with the 9 speed automatic.
This is the only mid size without a turbo now. Looks super easy to work on in the future under the hood. Which has hood struts.
I feel more safer in the bigger Frontier than the Maverick. Plus there is more inside room and the bed is bigger.

I know I won’t get the mpg’s I was getting in the Maverick but it’s well worth it.
The bed on the Maverick was 33 cubic feet and this is 40.
I know what some are thinking Nissan having issues, but that’s the time to make a deal.
$45,000 out the door, minus my trade.
I received in the 20’s for my Maverick and had them throw in all weather mats. And I had a 2” lift on it and was going to take it off to sell it and didn’t have to. They didn’t seem to mind about it.
Good luck to all and thanks for all the learning, advice, and enthusiasm.

Oh and I traded it in with the back up camera recall. Happy I didn’t have to go to dealer again for another one.
Also get 2 years of Maintenance free.
The tailgate comes with a dampener and the inside the bed has one rail inside the bed and also one towards the back of the bed for the adjustable cleats. Cool thing is the cleats are removable and can be installed in which ever rail you need.

Nice truck. I'm very curious to see how the Nissan product mix looks if this merger with Honda is actually consummated. What will they do with the Frontier and the Ridgeline overlapping. Not to mention all the duplicative cars.

Poor Honda. The Nissan merger was forced on them by the Japanese government.

The merger is more for Honda's benefit.
It will have access to "Full-Size" vehicles (less R&D time, in making their own) already being produced and an assembly plant in the states (tariffs) and Nissan gets to live another day..

Good looking truck. Wish you well. Is there much leg room for the back seats? Does not matter unless you carry passengers regularly..........

When we test drove it I put my driver seat where I would normally drive and sat in the back. It has more than my Maverick had. I am 6’2.

More room is debatable. Below are the specs. I know I have a very difficult time getting in and out of my friends Frontier. Especially if I'm getting in and out the back seat and for me it seems a lot less leg room in the back seat.

I appreciate the low height ingress and egress on the Ford Maverick because of the unitized body. That's just me because of health reasons and coming from a Ford F150, I really appreciate the Ford Maverick.

As long as your happy that's all that matters best of luck with your new truck. My friend is happy with his but can not say enough about my Maverick everytime we go somewhere and I drive. I think he likes my Maverick, just a guess.

Specific dimensions (approximate):
  • Nissan Frontier:
    • Front Legroom: 42.3 inches

    • Rear Legroom: 33.2 inches

    • Front Headroom: 39.9 inches

    • Rear Headroom: 38.6 inches
  • Ford Maverick:
    • Front Legroom: 42.8 inches

    • Rear Legroom: 35.9 inches (hybrid) or 36.9 inches (gas)

    • Front Headroom: 38 inches

    • Rear Headroom: 39.5 inches
