Hey everybody,
I got one of the Frontier Pro-4x deals a year ago. Currently paying $375/month.
Since it was only for 18 months and I’m now in the last 6 of that I’ve started getting all the end of lease communication from NMAC and the dealer started texting me.
I’m not a seasoned hacker. Hell, this is only my 2nd lease cause I stumbled into one of the Ioniq leases back in 2019. I’m really glad I found this forum, though, because it totally saved me from paying too much for those cars.
So the question is: when do I start aggressively looking for the next thing?

When you are ready to buy.
Depends on the lead time of what you’re looking for.
I don’t know that I care really. I mean, I don’t want to buy out the rest of this lease, so I guess unless another dealer is willing to do that in order to get me to lease from them…I’m probably not doing anything til April?
I don’t know I’ve never ended a lease—I bought out the Ioniq cause I could sell it and make money, but I’m pretty sure this Frontier isn’t going to do that.
The cheapest Truck lease is a Honda Ridgeline right now I think < $400
Or a Dodge Ram
Or a Toyota Tacoma
While driving his Rav4 in the meantime 
There’s no chance of ending that lease early so you have 5-6 months to go. Start looking 4-6 weeks before lease end.
Ignore all that. They’re just doing their PT Barnum impression.

This is exactly what I needed to hear. I’ll hop back on the forum in March/April.

Do you like the truck? Not sure if you did a one pay or not, but if you did then the lease extension payment will probably be a pretty slick deal
If you don’t really mind/care what you drive, then whatever timeline you’re comfortable with works.
But if you’re looking for the next big deal (MB EQS, 4xe, Camaro, Bolt, 7-series, Taco… ) you’ll just have to keep popping back in and keeping your eyes/ears open.
If you’re looking for specific vehicle, then you’ll probably want to look 2-3 months before. Again, are you shopping the car, or the deal? 
Good luck!!
