    Sup guys!

    Having trouble deciding between a 2011 frontier Crewcab SL or 2011 tacoma double cab with sport/JBL package

    Both are realy nice..I know you guys will be biased but its all good..
    Thing is, my friend owns the Toyota dealership so i can get the taco for really cheap...not the Fronty is expensive.

    I think the Fronty has a better stereo in the rockford as oppsed to the JBL in the taco...any opinions on that?

    One thing i really was looking at was the toyota supercharger for the taco...seems bad ass anyone try that?

    lol thanks fior any input in advance

    THe build quality on the Toyota is much better in my opinion. The stereo can be replace so I wouldn't let that factor into my decision.

    We all all definitely biased, but the Tacoma is the best selling truck for a reason. They also have the best resale value out of any truck. The Frontier will be cheaper to buy but the Tacoma will be cheaper from day 2 on.

    I deft like the tacoma looks better.
    Not a fan of rear drum breaks. Not sure if that makes a difference
    But like I said I can get the taco for dealer coast. So that might be a big deal breaker

    I drove the fronty. I'm gonna drive a taco this week

    Sounds like the Taco will be cheaper all the way. Especially when the Fronty needs a drivetrain at 150,000. The taco= 250,000+.

    i was in the same boat as you are a few months ago. what got me was the looks. i love the way Tacomas look over the frontier. as far as the rear drum i didn't like that at first but it's no biggie you can always get it converted to disc and if you were planning on modding the truck tacomas seem like they have a more wider variety then the frontier. the JBL stereo isn't too bad it actually surprised me and probably not going to change it. but as said before your not getting a fast car, its a truck. i had some issues with my 2011 but nothing big, you can probably say i'm just way to anal with my things :D
