Taco vs Frontier: Your Thoughts, Please

[ray1970]

I had a Frontier. Perfectly good truck. Stick shift with the off road package and 31" tires. It was awesome in the snow. Never did much off roading with it. My only real gripe was it got shitty gas mileage. Figured if I was only going to get 16mpg I might as well be driving something bigger so I sold it and bought a 3/4 ton GMC. Lol.

The Tacoma will have a better resale value and aftermarket support. When my dad was looking for a newer used Tacoma he ended buying new because it was a few thousand more for a brand new one. The 2015 and prior are getting snatched up pretty quick since the release of the 2016.

Im not sure how equipped the Nissans are now a days but the Tacomas are pretty limited. Nav is about the only thing can get that isn't standard. Some look at as less to go wrong other looks at as outdated technology. I purchased the Tacoma from my dad (2014) and only had it a month or so before I realized it wasn't for me. Great for trails, decent fuel mileage, excellent in the snow etc. In the end it was just too small for my needs and I upgraded to a 2015 Silverado 1500 LTZ. Tacoma has my vote.

I would check here there was a guy selling a clean first gen for 13k under 100,000 miles. Ive seen some go for 13 k with 200,000 miles.

I bought a 2014 tacoma Double cab OR, cant say anything bad about it love the truck. When my exploder died this was the one i liked the most. Been slowly building it up the way i want it.

Consumer Reports consistantly ranks the Frontier and Tacoma about the same and both are very highly rated. We bought the Frontier because it was easier to get in and out of and it had a smoother ride. It's a 2010 and we love it. You can't go wrong with either.

Saw that. Called him yesterday and left a voicemail. Tried another call this afternoon. Nothing.

It's definitely not quiet. I mainly catch tire noise.

Now that you mention it, the Xterra is very loud inside on the highway, so I think its probably safe to assume that the Frontier is as well.

You guys must be accustomed to plush rides, my Xterra is quiet compared to my previous vehicles.
