    This is my introductory post after trading in my 06' Frontier and upgrading to a 13' Tacoma TRD OR. After moving from the deep south to Utah I finally realized the need for 4WD, especially when making ski and bike trips on the regular. Went with a Tacoma after continuous problems with the Frontier, and Nissan's failure to stand behind their product. Needless to say, I'm excited.

    Several recalls, the first of which wasn't really a problem, the fuel tank sending unit. Then there was an ECM relay failure that prevented to truck from starting or caused it to stall on the road. The ECM relay had to be fixed twice, and I believe the second time caused raw fuel to be dumped into the cat thus destroying it. After that my rear diff failed, post warranty.
