@redjay1689: Like all other vehicles since 2020, the Nissan is priced a bit high - just not when compared to Tacoma. And it's true that your Nissan dealer is far more likely to appreciate your business and come off of the price listed on his lot. Toyota acts like they're doing you a favor selling you a vehicle. I do wish Nissan would've kept both the 4 cyl. option and the manual transmission option - though the 9-speed automatic seems to be proven at this point.

Waited a week, asked for another price: $3,000, said NO… Waited another week, in FL, then they phoned, they can do it for $2,000,:which is the avg cost. They offered me $12,000, on a trade. They had the same year, same Highlander miles, lessee model, on their lot for $21,000….. done with Toyota. Trubo, 4cyl, complicated hybrids, high priced, green credits: been a good run.

Agreed! Amen to that 🙏

I completely dropped Toyota from consideration solely because of the price. I don't mind the turbo 4... I think it looks fine... I'm just as sure that Toyota will stand behind it as well as any other manufacturer. But they are SCREWING people over with their pricing model. I cannot abide that, I don't care how good it is. I opted for the ZR2 - much better value for money.

Yeah man, the value proposition is just no longer there for Toyota… it’s a shame.

There have been a lot of signs for the past few years that Nissan is finally turning things around after the horrible reputation they earned (and rightfully so) during the 2000s and most of the 2010s. Very different vehicle than the Frontier, but I've been looking at the Z very closely and it blows away anything Toyota is currently making (yes, even the rebadged BMW).

Over the decades, Datsun's/Nissan's trucks have avoided most all problems with their cars. Such is the case at the moment. They offer very few cars that I'd consider buying.

Agreed. They’ve been in their “rebuild era” for quite some time and their work is starting to show! 👌

I agree with the comfort and reliability that Toyota always offered. However, everyone in the industry and people commenting on different forums, wanted an overhaul. Now we’ve got two new options and people aren’t happy. Can’t blame them because Toyota rushed both the tundra and Tacoma to production instead of waiting for troubleshooting potential future issues. Hopefully they’ll remedy this, otherwise the future looks gloom.

I’d buy the Nissan Frontier, I made a video after I test drove a Pro4X on why because I was sold!

I’ve heard so many similar testimonials. People live their Frontiers. I’m excited to put together a more in-depth review on one later this week. 👌

When I was younger I would never imagine myself agreeing that "There is no replacement for displacement" . But I do prefer naturally aspirated simple engines over complicated and stressed smaller ones.

I’m trying to get my hands on one later this week to I can do a solid review on it. Thanks for the idea man. 🙌

What do you know about the alternator being on the bottom of the engine on the Frontier and any problems that has caused? I did see one complaint that someone took it off road onto a beach and clogged it up with sand.

As a long time Toyota customer, I agree with you 100%. I've owned a Toyota Corolla, a Toyota Sequoia, a Toyota Rav4. I am looking for something more premium and always wanted a Lexus, but with these current Lexus line up , No thanks! Not even the GX 550. And Any of the new Toyota, no thanks also, not even the Sequoia, not even the new Land Cruiser. I really don't know what I'm going to get now, thinking of Tahoe or Yukon, but I hate those low rear knuckles.

I really want a new frontier but it's a bit out of my price range and my old Ridgeline is still running good

Just for nostalgia, I would choose the Frontier since I grew up with an Xterra and had nothing but fond memories with it. It's crazy to think that Nissan is surpassing Toyota in all metrics in the mid-size truck segment - including reliability!

I’m personally looking heavily into a 2023-2024 titan when I get back from my deployment. Have a 21 Sequoia and love it, but these dealers are smoking on used tundra prices

Here are the reasons I've written the Tacoma off from my shopping list despite wanting a Toyota truck for most of my life: 1. Price - It's too high. Can I afford it? Yes...but do I want to pay what a 2B/2B townhome cost us in 2008 for a depreciating asset? Absolutely not. Especially when you consider it has.... 2. Poor build quality. The Mexico plant hasn't gotten their stuff together yet. I could accept a few minor issues but the problem is that Toyota has.... 3. Poor dealer experience. All of my local Toyota dealerships are simply awful to buy from and have service done. I suspect that on a newer vehicle with much newer tech I'll be using my warranty a lot more, and after reading a lot the horror stories from recent Tundra owners online it makes me believe that Toyota has... 4. Questionable reliability. I've had a number of Toyotas. Most have been good, but not all of them. The new engine's reliability is unproven, and the build quality of the Tundra engine was terrible. I simply can't say for certain that Toyota is the torchbearer of reliability anymore. Even if it is, I still don't like the.... 5. Cheap feel: The interior is full of rock hard plastics, and a design that feels like it belongs in a video game. I wasn't impressed by the limited models interior either. Also they're loud on the highway. Not as bad as a Corolla circa 2014-15, but still loud. I know that's a personal thing. But what isn't subjective is the... 6. Missing features compared to the competition: It may not apply to most people, but I benefit from AUTO / AWD modes like on the Colorado, Canyon, Ridgeline, and Ranger. It's useful to me. Even if it had it though, one last thing that bothers me is the... 7. Towing squat: What is it with Toyota trucks and squatting far more than their rivals when towing the same weight? I tow a boat once or twice a week. I shouldn't need a weight distributing hitch for an 18' bass boat. I'm going to be fair and say there are elements of the Tacoma I really like. I think it looks good. I like the bed. I'm not opposed to a hybrid if it's reliable. Toyota sub components, in my personal experience, have been more reliable then other brands. But also see 3 again if something does break.

It's not just engine and quality control issues. It's also Toyota management issues, and test reporting issues. I was going to purchase a Lexus LC500, I think I will wait or research other vehicles.

I’m one of “those” people. Turned in my 21 TRD Off Road for 24 Pro4X decked out with every option they offer. Including even an illuminated door sill. Made the change for all the reasons you described and I hadn’t even considered the Nissan until I was floored by the Tacoma price and started shopping around. Nissan was a no brainer.

That’s a fact. I’d rather support a truck that is made in the USA too. 👍

Went to Toyota dealership in Hawaii . There was so many people there I thought I was at a mall for a second . True story . That being said I’ve also seen more frontiers lately in the land of 4 runners and Tacomas .

What I've noticed at every dealership I've been to is that they mark up the price by adding dealer installed options that no consumer has requested! If there are any dealership installed options that you didn't request and the dealer says they can't be removed, REFUSE to pay for them and DO NOT buy that vehicle!!!! Dealership add-ons are certainly an option for YOU to decide whether or not you want them! It is NOT a decision the dealership gets to make on your behalf, attempting to force you to purchase them!!!! DON'T be a sucker and fall for this b.s. from any dealership! YOU decide what you want or don't want when you're in the finance part of the transaction! If any dealership will not remove the add-ons that you didn't OK, get up and leave! You can go to Cosco and order your brand new vehicle with everything you want or don't want and completely avoid dealing with these forced up-sells! Cosco is one place, and I'm sure some credit unions have a buying service to avoid the dealerships. You may have to wait 3 or 6 weeks, but it's worth the wait to avoid known deceptions at dealerships who partake in these scams....Know the values of anything you're interested in prior to going to any dealership. Go to kbb.com or n.a.d.a. and know those retail values. If any dealership is asking over those retail values and won't negotiate down to those retail values, then leave and try out a buying service like Costco or inquire at your bank or credit union. For instance, we're in San Diego, and a buying service found the vehicle my mom wanted about 100+ miles away in Riverside at a new vehicle dealership that didn't play these games. It was over $3,000 less and was worth the drive! Wouldn't you drive 200 miles, round trip to save $3,000? I did, and I would do it again and again! You are not limited to your local dealerships with a buying service....Look into this before you pull the trigger on any vehicle....Your time is worth money so make it count and 100% avoid dealership add-on mark-ups that you didn't agree to!!!! Enough is enough, and dealerships continuing this bait and switch tactic will learn the hard way with inventory stuck on their lots that won't sell!!!!
