The Frontier is a great truck.

Wow, yeah I would expect a bit more from the Tacoma, especially for the price they want. I couldn't get passed the way the transmission behaved. I'm sure it's built well and is reliable.

The turning radius is bad on the Frontier, but would never be a deal break for me. You learn to adapt to it.

The only other truck that makes sense to me is the Ridgelilne. I just think it's a great day to day truck. Obviously if you really need something for serious off-roading or hauling that won't do it.

That's impressive!

Yeah, especially since she's not BITOG-anal about maintenance. AND it was a manual transmission.

I tried driving extremely conservative to work this morning (7 miles) and got 17.8 mpg. Lot of stop and go. On highway if I drive around 65mph I can hit 21 mpg.
