Yes, I can get a 4wd Frontier cheaper than a 2wd Tacoma. My Tacoma also rides pretty rough. I drove a 2000 Frontier 4x4 CC last weekend and was impressed with the ride quality.Welcome to the club! Drove 2 taco's, good trucks. Frontiers are nice trucks, you'll be happy, especially for what you pay.
The 2000 Frontier does drive nice.Yes, I can get a 4wd Frontier cheaper than a 2wd Tacoma. My Tacoma also rides pretty rough. I drove a 2000 Frontier 4x4 CC last weekend and was impressed with the ride quality.
Second generation = years 2005+ if you didn't know.Now go drive a second generation Frontier and you'll really love it.
nissan actuallly has a really nice 2.5L turbo diesel that they put in the frontier just not for sale in north america :comphead:I just bought a 2010 SE 4x4 crew cab. I previously had a 1996 tacoma extended cab with the v6. That was a great truck and I probably would still have it, but I pull my Ski Nautique and my old tacoma would spin some at the ramp. If I had limited slip, I might still have that truck. But I like the extra size and 4x4 for boat pulling.
I was looking at tacoma and frontier and if equal in price, I would have gone tacoma just because of my past experience. But, to get the same configuration on the tacoma would have cost me about 4.5K more and I didn't think it was worth it.
The Frontier has been nice. My only complaint is gas mileage, but I don't put on that many miles, so not a huge deal.
Why toyota or nissan doesn't bring a nice little turbo diesel in their midsize truck I don't know. A toyota hilux with the turbo diesel is my ideal truck, the frontier with the diesel will do nicely also.
Thanks for the welcome.nissan actuallly has a really nice 2.5L turbo diesel that they put in the frontier just not for sale in north america :comphead:
i'm with ya there, i think the the majority of people that buy midsized trucks like these would greatly welcome the TD option for is economy and low end pulling power, a diesel would suit my needs much better, not that i don't like my vq40 but a diesel would be better.Thanks for the welcome.
I'm fully aware that both Nissan and Toyota have the turbo diesel available in midsize trucks in other markets. That's what makes it frustrating.
I was in Costa Rica a few months ago and saw a very nice Toyota Hilux with a 3.0 TD in it.
I don't understand why they don't think these truck will do well here.
