frontier vs tundra...

no its not a race, but its kinda dissapointing that i have seen more modded new tundra's then i have 2nd gen frontiers..., especially since we've been around longer.

Thumbs up

Very true, but the modded tundras I have seen are all pavement queens with nice shiny polished lifts, clean wheels and the overbearingly loud exhaust, always with mini-me at the controls. Heh.
At least the modded frontys here get some dirt on them.

the way i see it is its all about marketing, toyota's new 5.7 381 hp v8 got ALOT of peoples attention which meant they wanted one, the aftermarket seen this coming and therefor wanted to make parts for people to upgrade to, i see alot of aftermarket support for the titan as well, its just there are more full sized truck buyers than midsized trucks, even tacoma don't have THAT great aftermarket support.

Well, i say give it time. with gas prices getting kinda scary and people still want a truck, theres been a few market analysts that have said stuff like how people are gonna move from fullsize to midsize trucks. while i think market analysts that work for the media can go do something useful and tell us real news for once, this might actually be kind of true in some way. plus, its a LOT easier to park a Frontier than a fullsize. at least 1st gens...

I have a truck. It gets me from A to B. Why I spend so much money changing it, I will never know. Is there a cure for this disease? I have no idea what I would be using all my money for if there was a cure.

gas prices have come down 60-70 cetns a gallon in the past 2 months, if people were buying tundras then, they'll buy them now...

I happened to be at a Toyota dealership today. I was walking around the lot to kill a few minutes, checked out some tacos and a few Tundras. They had a Tundra with the leather package. I almost dropped dead when I saw the factory window sticker.
$48,700!!!!!!
They might have that one for a while. That was just the window sticker with no added dealer BS. I had no idea they were going for prices like that. I may be out of touch though.

Glad you added the 1st gen part. I swear if there was ONE thing I would improve on the Frontier it's the turning radius. I think school buses turn tighter than 2nd gen Frontiers.
