Taco vs Frontier: Your Thoughts, Please

[Calculated]

I've been down the gnarliest road I've ever seen on the face of a mountain in my buddy's 2009 Frontier. There were guys climbing asking how the hell we got there. It was a mistake made by following a GPS. We thought, hey, instead of driving 30 miles back around this way, it's only 1.5 miles this way, let's go that way. Like I said, turns out it was down the face of a mountain. I was going to buy a Taco but after that, I decided the Frontier was legit.

Bought a 2011 Pro-4x and have taken it to Moab, deep woods camping, mountain road exploring etc. and it flat out takes anything I throw at it. 45k miles and no issues whatsoever. Drives like a car on the road and off roads like a jeep. I love it. The one drawback I can say is I average around 16-18 mpg with the blend of highway and city driving I do, wish it was better. Mines got the same powerplant as the 350z so you can add the factory twin turbo to it if you want more power.

Pretty much everything Honey Badger 282.8 said.

Oh yea, one thing I forgot. The damn things heats up in like 2 miles, really nice in the dead of winter going to work at 1 am. All new cars may do that I don't know, but his truck and my truck both do. I've never had or ridden in a vehicle that warms up as quickly. Small perk.
