I looked at both the Toyota Tacoma and the Frontier. The Frontier won hands down. I did not want a sun roof or cargo rack on the roof so i got the 2007 SE. It has Utilitrack, power group, value group and step bars. I have added skid plates, more to protect it from cornfield stubble and sticks on the forest floor than anything else. So far (4.5 months) I really like the truck and am glad I bought it. In ten years, I'll let you know how well it held up. Next spring, I'll be taking it to the middle of Quebec province for bear hunting.

That is very good to hear. I've had Z71s for the past 5 years and I am worried about downsizing. I realize that the Frontier will do what I need it to 99% of the time so I'm not going to worry about the other 1%. I average 13-14 mpg in my Z71 so I am pretty sure I can at least beat that in a Frontier.
Even though this thread is somewhat of a duplicate, its still helpful to people like me who need help in making the decision to take the plunge or not!
