    Frontier King Cab 4x4.

    It was actually my first choice:eek:

    They were offering promotions on them where you could pick up a king cab 4x4 for as little as 16,000 OTD.

    I test drove a 6spd and wanted one, bad. That was in a different state and the truck was black (did not want black).

    I looked and looked after that, trying to find a 6 spd 4x4 frontier but could never find one on the lot within 300 miles of where I was going to be.

    Went with a Tacoma ( 6spds were much easier to find) and love it.

    Those Hummer trucks look tuff. That would be my choice after that I'd walk.

    gotta agree with tacoholic on the 09 F-150. Those things are nasty. So my pick goes to an 09 F-150 FX-4 offroad. My buddy's got one with a 6 inch lift on it. absolute MONSTER.

    I wouldn't get another truck, I would get a Nissan Xterra. Those things are pretty sweet.

    4Runner would definitely be my pick, but it's a Toyota. :p I would definitely go with a 3rd gen. :D



    Luckily my girlfriend LOVES 4Runners and she might be getting one (a 3rd gen!). :D

    The Frontier is good solid choice. It has a sunroof option! Great power from its V6. But it feels really heavy, and I find the interior to be built with cheaper looking materials. I don't love the looks of it either.

    I test drove everything out there but went withe tacoma. I liked the chevy colorado but could not get my head around a 5 cyl. So If I had to get something besides my taco I would go back to 81-87 full size chevy.
