    Real talk, it seems like the length of time I am keeping a vehicle for has been steadily decreasing :bananadead:

    I'm in the same boat!
    Just cracked 15,000 miles today and it’s not 1 year old till end of May. I can sell it now for more than I paid and buy another new vehicle. Sadly I have several on my list I can buy right now. My wife made a comment about it but if I get more than I paid on my 2021 why not?:lalala:

    Soooo.... I must come clean on something. the urge to get the frontier is all my fault. I never do April fool's pranks and decided this year I would. Everyone on here and the tundras forum knows I play musical vehicles so on April first I was going to post these pics with the :anonymous: emoji and trick everyone into thinking I already got a new vehicle. Well April fool's!! Jokes on me I fell in love when I looked at them :bananadead:

    Lol! It's a good looking truck!

    Nissan seems really hit or miss. Some of their vehicles are awful, and some look fantastic. If I had the means, there would probably be a Z in my driveway next to the 4Runner.

    I haven't looked up close tat the new Frontier, but the fit and finish appears better than the Tacoma. The last generation Frontier seemed to be put together better than the Tacoma.

    Buying it at MSRP is the sale lmao. One of them are doing extra trade in incentives though....

    Their trucks have always been rock solid

    The last (2nd) gen Frontier was def a cut lower than Taco for fit and finish. As far as mechanicals go, they're the most reliable trucks out there .... After the Taco.

    Fit and finish on the 3rd gen Frontiers is top notch. Some things are better than the Taco, some aren't. Overall though, they did a bang up job with this truck.

    All in all... If you want a luxury pickup (but not at luxury prices) a Frontier is the way to go. If you want to heavily modified truck and do badass off-road things, while the Frontier has a stock lower crawl ratio than the Taco, the Taco has miles of suspension articulation, 10 times more aftermarket support, and overall is still the tougher truck.

    I don't doubt it. Even though I wasn't a big fan of the last generation Frontier aesthetically, I wouldn't have been worried about mechanical issues.

    They make some goofy looking car (Juke, among others). Somehow, they always did good with the Z.

    Honestly, I think the 370 is fucking gorgeous. I know the 370 has some quirks. But, I'd take one over the BMW Supra any day.

    That's because BMW had very little to do with the Supra. The thing is a Toyota, through and through. It'll drive circles around the Z4

    Also, RCI tax sale extended to April 18 AND they have new roof racks out for the Taco!

    Uhh, the new Supra is just a BMW with Toyota logos and sheet metal. Seems like a pretty heavy involvement if you ask me.

    Toyota did different suspension and tuning and some cosmetics.. but it’s still heavily bmw

    even down to the interior squeaks that every bmw has.
