Yeah they are very comparable!

The Frontier has a 9 speed trans with a 5.42 first gear and a 3.69 axle ratio. Taco is a 6 speed trans with a 3.60 first gear and a 3.91 axle ratio. HP, torque, and gearing are factors that determine acceleration.

Frontier beats Tacoma in every important head to head. You name it. Yes including reliability, those C-channel frames in the Tacoma rust and rot, unlike the Frontiers fully boxed frame, which is nuke proof. -Frontier 310HP > Tacoma 278HP -Frontier Torque 281 lb-ft >Tacoma 265 lb ft -Frontier Full Boxed Frame >Tacoma C-Channel Frame -Frontier Disc Brakes > Tacoma Drum Brakes Frontier has a premium interior, ride, transmission, seating, head room, materials/fit & finish, more safety features, better crash test, spray-in bed liner, the list goes on and on…not to mention styling, especially the Pro-4X, which would’ve whipped this TRD with all-terrain tires.

Wow! Just came back from an offroad trip and camp out with a group of friends here in California through Big Bear, down Rattlesnake Canyon to Johnson Valley, through the high desert and then to Cleghorn 4x4 trail. Our boy with his 24 Frontier Pro 4x was struggling BAD on these tight, exposed and endless trails and switch backs. We all found out just how bad his trucks turning radius and heavy steering is on the trails, and we had to save his truck more than once using straps and even one of our winches so he wouldn't get it stuck or die. We were so glad it wasn't heavily modified or else, who TF knows how much worse it would have been with a lift, larger tires and more weight and such. It was the only truck that we had to stop for regularly and get out and guide, just so he could make a simple switch back. 🤦🏾‍♂️ He's only had it for a month and after his ordeal this past long 4th of July pre weekend, he already made up his mind and is going back to a 3rd gen Tacoma lol! He literally traded his 19 Tacoma TRD pro for it and is now kicking himself for doing so. Long story short: the frontier is not trail friendly and I would recommend that you NEVER go solo on some isolated and potentially dangerous or advanced trails. I go solo on my Taco all the time with my kids and lady, but wouldn't do the same on a frontier. I guess I love my family too much. Also, he tore the F out of the back sides of the rear seat back rests folded down, since they are lined with weak cloth, after putting his fridge and some other materials that he would carry on his Tacoma for the trip lol! How TF you don't line them with hard materials like the Taco and other trucks?

Nissan Titan I bet you would of liked. I came from a 2010 Tacoma to a 23 Titan pro-4x and it's honestly not much different from length. But width is bigger. It's nice having the space and extra power from the last V8!!

With the Frontier, you don’t have to worry about oil starvation like you do with the Tacoma. Toyota shoved a Camry 2GR-FKS motor in their pickup lol

I'm watching but its too late... I bought a 23 Frontier Pro4x last weekend! I got tired of trying to find a Tacoma TRD Pro in the color choices i wanted! My only beef was it had a short bed and I'd have like to have a 6 foot bed!

I have a 2023 pro 4x, and a 2007 2.5 king cab frontier with 350k miles. A window switch and a coil pack are all that has ever been fixed in 16 years. If you keep the fluid i clean in these vehicles they will last forever. Everybody likes full-size trucks but they come with full-size problems. I'll stick with reliability.

Looked an TRD off Road and 4XPro both used, both 23's. The frontier was a bit less and I liked it. The thing that blew me away was the deprecation. I don't know why, but the Tacoma is unbeatable at holding it's value. I went with the Tacoma TRD Off Road.

@@highplainsdrifter9849 I'm a Tacoma owner and believer myself. But I wouldn't call the Frontier "cheap junk" by any means. It just doesn't measure up to the Tacoma in many respects. But it is still a good truck and much more easy to obtain than a Tacoma, and I respect it for that. Toyota has raised the bar as well as the price so high with the new Tacoma that it is pretty much unattainable now to many. So comparing a $70,000 TRD Pro to a $40,000 Frontier P4X as if it was in the same light is kinda silly. Of course the Tacoma's going to outperform it. It had better for that kind of money. There's always going to be people out there with deep pockets that can afford all these $60-$90,000 rigs we see the highways scattered with. And I have no doubt we will soon be seeing these high dollar Tacoma's everywhere you look. But it's nice that there are still reasonable trucks like the Frontier available for those that either can't or don't want to spend that kind of coin on a vehicle.

When I was looking for a truck, I looked at the frontiers and yes, they have more power, but they're considerably more expensive, and not as attractive
