How do you like your truck? What are your likes and dislikes?
I am torn between a Frontier and Tacoma so I alreayd asked this reguarding the Tacoma so now it is the Nissan's turn. LOL | |

One thing I don't like is the fender wells on the Frontier with the bulging plastic and rivets, not a clean look in my eyes.

Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: pittsburgh, pa Posts: 489 | My wife got an X-Terra last year---same basic vehicle as the Frontier.
VERY impressed with the power....this thing is NEVER at a loss for torque.
Passenger leg room isn't all I could hope for (I'm 6'-2") ,
but who the hell buys a vehicle to keep passengers happy ?
My brother-in-law , a die-hard Ford man and committed foreign car basher,
was so impressed with it , he traded in his Explorer for an X-Terra.
After a year with it , my wife and I are both still VERY happy with it.
So you know , hers is a 6-speed manual....not sure what you'll get with an auto.
Hope this was helpful....... | |

Funny you said that because for some dumb reason I asked my cousin for advice who works at Ford and drives a huge F350 what he recommends in the small truck lineup and he actually recommended the Nissan and Toyota. And this is a guy that makes fun of me for driving "imports"! LOL | |
