Looking at the Frontier . Priced so reasonably. hmmm

Talk me out of it but I'm looking at what a Frontier pro-4x buys and dollar for dollar it looks like a better deal. Doesn't have "crawl" but a lot of stuff in there that you can't even get without going aftermarket or limited.

 

• Leather-appointed seats

• 8-way power driver’s seat

• 4-way power front-passenger’s seat

• Heated outside mirrors

• Power sliding glass moonroof

• Roof rack with crossbars

• Rear fold-down center armrest

 

Locking or limited slip diff?

 

Superior build quality? Incomparable resale value?

 

It's got a locking diff

 

Daughter is a Toyota fan. I don't want her to put me in a bad old person home when I get there because she didn't inherit it when she finished high school. Sticking w the Taco.

 

Well that didn't take much convincing.

 

Neighbors swear by Nissans but then again they also love their Audi. Which I see on a flatbed more than I see it driving.

 

Can't believe you actually thought about it. My wife's Honda Odyssey has higher ground clearance.

 

Hell hath no fury like a little blonde girl that wants a truck.

 

Anything that is part of VW is trash. Always chuckle when I see one being towed. Needless to say, I chuckle a lot.

 

This is what you call lipstick on a pig.

 

Go on a frontier forum like this one for Tacoma's and read up on maintenance or other frontier related issues. Just like on this forum you will learn alot about the truck.
I had a 2wd frontier 10 years ago and it was a good truck. Mpg was around 18. I always liked the Tacoma's more but they started at $20k + used. The stealership prices the frontier at $14800 when it should of been $18400. I couldn't pass that mistake up. It took all day but I drove it home for $14800 +tags and fntax. I has it for 3 years and sold it for $13500. That's my frontier story.
If you don't have to have a Tacoma then the frontier is a good choice but it you have to have a Taco you will stear at them out of your new frontier and drool just like you do now. I no longer droll at other tacos because I have one of my own. Once again I bought it at a great price and it was owened and very well maintained by a friend

 

I traded my Frontier for my Tacoma. Good call deciding on the Tacoma you would have regretted the Frontier.

 

NO and No That HAVE to throw all that in their trucks to sell them at all

 

Frontier's aftermarket support is poor. Since you are looking at a Pro-4X, I assume you want to wheel. Do you plan to wheel a stock truck?

I rented a Frontier for a week while on vacation in Cali. See my review here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/nissan-frontier-quirks-and-oddities.340658/ If the Taco didn't exist, I trust the Frontier more than a Colorado.

 

Isn't the cup holder suppose to come out to accommodate bigger bottles?

An old roommate had a frontier. It was nice but nothing special. I am not a fan of how they look but to each their own.

 

Sad thing I think most people on this thread probably never drove one before.

I have and there is nothing wrong with the truck. It does some things better than the Tacoma and some things worst.

I would not listen to the posters who automatically dis the Frontier. Take one for a test drive and decide for yourself.
