    Hello Everyone,
    I'm Dave. I just retired from the USPS and after 30+ years of sorting mail I decided to reward myself with a new truck. I decided I needed a V6 for hauling a boat or camper, 4x4 to get out of any sticky situations, and an access cab for the longer bed. The choices were between the Nissan Frontier and the Toyota Tacoma. Besides the Taco having a larger interior space and better reputation for quality, it was less expensive. So I bought the Tacoma in October.

    Welcome aboard!

    I can't speak for Nissan trucks, but I've had two Nissan sedans in the past, and should've learned my lesson after the first one. Granted, every manufacturer produces a steaming pile on occasion, but those Nissans were the most problematic vehicles I've had the displeasure of owning.

    You will love the Taco :thumbsup:

    Thanks. The weird thing is that I always want to say, "I just graduated from the Post Office." instead of saying I retired from the post office. lol
