Traded in my Tacoma for a Frontier.

sounds like a fixed boxing match, no matter how much punch taco landed frontier wins... interesting. then why tacoma sold million times more than nissan in the world not only in the usa? from african deserts to asian platos pacific islands to the every war zone in the world...

[sanchez250]

tacomas are way better!! AND THATS A FACT!!

[Lexolo999]

But, Tacoma gets an EPA estimated 18 mpg combined to Frontier's 16mpg combined.

Both trucks are great. Nissan has a fully boxed frame, 6500 lb towing capacity and great crash test rating. Tacoma has a 6500 lb towing capacity as well, so you taco lovers can't say it tows more. The Nissan actually has a higher payload rating. Just FYI. Both have optional locking diffs, and have skid plates. So they are both good trucks. I guess it's just more of how you were raised. If your parents had a yota, then you just think they are the best. Same with the Nissan. So shut the fuck up

just traded in my Frontier for a Tacoma. That Frontier continued to break down on me and all the fucking parts would break.

@1waffleiron Yes, statistically they will have less problems than a tacoma. That's not to say that's the case with all Nissan vs. Toyota vehicles. Nissan vehicles as a whole are less reliable than Toyota's vehicles but if you're comparing these two trucks, the frontier is more reliable.

@demfings Frontiers are more reliable, this is a fact? Well hyundais are supposed to be more reliable than toyotas too, but you don't see any old hyundais around -.-

[demfings]

@1waffleiron Frontiers are more reliable than tacomas. This is a fact. They've had less problems on them, when you go vehicle by vehicle, than any other midsized truck. Both are great trucks though. They're definitely the two best midsized ones. I'd personally go with the frontier but I wouldn't say either is better than the other, both are quite worthy choices, it's just in what you like better.

Pure Propaganda, Tacome Rules. Nissan obviously put this up, don't waste your hard earned money on their bull$hit! 'Nuff said.

[PyroSeraphim]

My Frontier isn't soft like sand, it's hard as fucking rocks. =p

I've had two Nissan pickup trucks, both 4cyl 2 wheel drive. One was a 1991 and the other was a brand new 2001. I loved the 1991 pickup but the 2001 was a POS! That sucker was supposed to be a 4cyl but it ate more gas than any vehicle I ever owned and the power was wayyyy underpowered. We would press the gas to teh floor in the 2001 and it sputtered up the hills in CO and had a rough ride. We traded it in for a 97 pathfinder 4wd vs and loved the pathfinder. I will never buy a nissan pick-up again
