    Touchless for now, real wash in the spring, and fluid film before winter hits again

    Hand dryed at the end.

    Yea... I live at the end of the road, we don't have those kinds of service up here. I do remember though, back when I lived in the big city... People look at you kinda weird when your outside the carwash, its 20 something and your toweling of the ice...

    If it’s super cold, I wouldn’t worry about accumulating salt. It’s when it’s melty and when it starts getting warmer that oxidation can start happening. i read that on internet so…,

    Same as already said, ill go through touchless when it getting close to 30.

    Yea getting to wash the truck inside with warm water is kinda nice in the winter,
    never leaving the seat is a bonus.

    If this was the Frontier available in 2015 before I bought my 1st Tacoma I might be a Nissan owner. :anonymous:

    Lucky for me my Mother-in-law told me to get the Toyota because I would regret it later just to save $3k!

    it was interior of the 2015 Frontier that eliminated the Nissan for me. The one I looked at had a silver grab bar over the glove box. It reminded me of a PT cruiser interior! :rofl::rofl:

    $41k and the Frontier is loaded!
    Not sure how it drives.
    Oh well.

    I’ll keep my Tacoma for 2-5 years and when my wife is ready for a new vehicle I’ll take her 4Runner!

    Hell yeah! I mean, there's a bridge, but it's good to know the option is there. I did find a pretty cool fishing spot down a nicely unmaintained road down there.
