Taco vs Frontier: Your Thoughts, Please

[Gman]

The good news is that while MPG has stayed the same, power has gone up considerably.

Ain't that the truth. Based on the SUVs in my life;

2004 5.3l V8 - 295hp - 330lb-ft - 4 speed trans - 14city/18hwy - 7,400 max towing
2016 3.0l V6 - 362hp - 369lb-ft - 7 speed trans - 17city/21hwy - 7,500 max towing

That likely explains my towing experience.

A guy A work has a first gen Tundra with the baby V8 and he take it everywhere. Has a shell on it and and camps in it. And they seem to be the same or even less than Tacomas.

I have always had a Toyota in my driveway for at least one of my vehicles. This way I can ensure not walking.


I was was lucky in buying my 14 TRD Sport Longbed for what we did new. Looking at used Tacoma trucks with 30k on them were more in most cases.

Nobody wakes up in the morning and says "I think today is accident day...." and high fives themselves.

Thanks again for the link. I was big on the 2nd gens, but after seeing that thing, I'm all in. Can't wait to get eyes on it in person. I will really put that tent to use.
