I've heard that the Tacoma is great for towing but it's not as comfortable or good a ride as the Frontier. How do you think they compare?

I own A 2008 Frontier - Best truck I ever owned, and I've owned many, including a Toyota Tacoma. Excellent build quality, and more rugged than the Tacoma. It has a metal box, whereas the Tacoma has a plastic box. Also, the Frontier has 4 wheel disk brakes and a fully boxed frame, Tacoma has rear drums and only a C-Channel frame.

More horse power, full box frame and more ground clearance. I had to make the same decision and after test driving both I went with the Frontier. I also received a better financing rate from Nissan.

Both great trucks but for around 4K cheaper the Frontier was a better buy for me. The motor in the Frontier feels like it has more torque, I like the interior better on the Frontier and not sure if it matters to you but the Frontier has a box frame while the Tacoma has a C channel.

Nissan makes a more solid truck with a real bed (not plastic)& tie down location that wont break, a fully boxed frame, 4 wheel disc brakes, a better ride on road and more ground clearence off road,and lots of torque. The Toyota is more like a car inside, has a lighter rear end & rear drum brakes. They (toyota)does have more aftermarket support, but if you look for them the parts are out there to make a killer Frontier, and you dont have to look like your copying everyone else.

^^my comment above...I didnt see we where voting for a 4cyl. I have a v6 so the power is a lot more. I have seen a few 4cyls do amazing things though. And of course stated above, more clearance, boxed frame, cheaper, more cabin room, etc. Cant go wrong with the Frontier.

I have the Frontier Crew Cab (paid the same price as the extended cab Taco) and haven't had any issues with it. Towed a fully loaded 20 ft trailer to Scout Camp without any problems. The truck sounds and feels like a solid truck, the Taco sounded like a hollow 'Toy'...

The two trucks you are comparing are pretty different being your lookign at a 4cyl vs 6cyl. Either way the Frontier is by far a better vehicle. No plastic POS bed, more HP, better seating position, you can actually see out the front window. But honestly, you need to test drive both yourself and see what YOU prefer.

Nissan Frontier wins hands down. Disc brakes all the way around and a metal box as someone previously mentioned. Plus the new style Tacoma looks like the Pilsbury dough boy on roids . . ie . . ug-a-lee.
Frontier has more HP, more options (leather, sunroof) and costs LESS. And, as far as I know no mass rusting frame issues have ever occurred on the Frontiers.

Check out the Edmunds video on Utube of the Frontier and the Tacoma. Frontier beat the Tacoma in everything except sand driving because of the two different wheelbases they used. Frontier kicks the !@ out of the Tacoma in everything. Not to mention the price tag.

The higher end Frontiers/Tacomas are very similar ie the TRD/Nismo packages. But for the basic truck, the frontier is superior in my opinion because of the more solid frame, brakes, and engine.

I own a 2006 nissan 4.0 4x4. Let me say, you get a lot more for your money bro. Just think of all the upgrades you can install on the frontier with the money you will save by not buying the tocoma. Not that the Frontier need any. With just 650.00 I added 30 horses and lots of tork gain. My V6 has edged out many V8s.
