I know the Frontier has been only out for a short period but has anyone had any issues? I only read about one issue with a piece of tape in one headlight. The powertrain has been out now since 2020. How is the 9 speed and 3.8l working out?

"tranmission" huh lol

Well, you spelled it right 2/4 times so I'm only giving you half a hard time.

Here's a good link on the ZF Friedrichshafen AG

Maybe the next Frontier will have one lol

If you judge transmissions by smoothness cvts are pretty great

Yeah cvts are pretty smooth I had a Murano and a Sentra with cvt. Off the line they have no pulling power. But I will also say the cvt is not smoother than the eight speed because it truly is a smooth shifter. I've driven fords and GM's 10 speed and the Colorado 8 speed which is a rip off of the ZF and they did a horrible job at it. I'm not saying other multi-gear transmissions are not usable I'm just saying ZF did the best job at it by a long shot. Do yourself a favor and drive a x3 or x5 to really appreciate it.
