It’s no problem, it’s truly a lesson I have to learn for being ungrateful and trading in my 2021 Tacoma, just too soon! We do get married next year by the way!

@HiPlains124 күн бұрын
People say the 3rd gen Frontier copies the 3rd gen Taco. That's absolutely NOT true. The third gen taco has an inferior 6 speed transmission that shifts early, torque starved and endlessly searches gears. Then they bolted that up to the 3.5 Camry motor that was something they had on the shelve that was never developed for truck applications. Its was always a shit drive train combo. The seat position was also horrible making the driver sit too low. Ergonomic nightmare. Whereas Nissan spend the time and money to develop a new VQ 3.8DI motor for truck applications. Used a Daimler Benz 9 speed that was proven and did a great job mapping and tuning it for the frontier. As for Yota's 4th gen its a better truck in many ways but insanely overpriced for the mid size segment. I don't think it will sell nearly as well and they already have to discount to move them. Something unheard of for Yota. Not sure how reliable it will be as their 3.4 is having bearing failures and they already recalled 100K motors. Which is just the tip of the iceberg. A complete design defect IMO. My advice is don't buy a taco unless you can find a clean second gen (without rust) or buy the current 4 runner before they convert that to their TNGA platform.
@shooks55524 күн бұрын

All good trucks IMO. And the 2015 was the last good Tacoma year using the bullet proof 4 liter and 5 speed auto. Just make sure it does not have rust issues. Also the Frontiers from around 2015-2019 were bullet proof with the VQ 40 motor and 5 speed. It was even better then Yota's 4 liter IMO. I have a 2019 Pro 4X and that truck is a tank. Can't say enough good things about it. Unlike the Yota it uses a fully boxed frame and has rear disc brakes. The dana 44 rear locker is rock solid. My 8 way power seat is still much better then the second gen Yota. The best thing they make is the current 4 runner. Better seats, more room in back, and still has the 4 liter. For now. But not for long as it will be converted to that miserable TNGA platform.
@ChrisGarcia.2523 күн бұрын
If you absolutely need a truck bed, I’m more on the side of Frontier because as I mentioned in the video you get, more horsepower power plus a transmission that makes accelerating when you need it a breeze, no gear hunting which was annoying with the Tacoma unless you get it tuned like I did, the Frontier also feels more like a truck because of heavier steering. Test drive both a 3rd Gen and the Frontier for some time and you will see.

Its got more room, power (4.6 V8) and better ride then the 4 runner. Its a beast. But they quit making new ones. They just keep killing off the bullet proof body on frames. If you got some bucks go all he way and buy a 2021 Land cruiser model 200 with the 5.7 V8. I think 2021 was the last year made. That is the real deal and its so overbuilt it will outlast human life.

It may look cheap but its very expensive lol. The biggest drawback on the new taco is the price. Its simply not competitive in the segment. When you can buy a ZR 2 for 49K and a TRD pro cost 65K then there is a problem. Basically a low trim SR 5 at 45K cost the same as nicer Ranger XLT with FX 4 package for the same price. I've seen those two side by side and the taco looks like a cheap work truck in comparison. To get refinement on the new Tacoma you have to spend about 55K. Insanity. And probably why the only ones really selling well are the top trims with the premium package. Because everything else looks like a bucket of cheap hard plastics.

U get ur money’s worth from Auxito led products. Those particular one, I would prefer for interior use. Because they produce 2W. For constant on daily, they can last for couple years from my experience. The higher the wattage, with constant use. The shorter the lifespan. If u had the other Auxito led bulbs T10 with 14 led diodes. And makes 1.2W, those are better balanced and will last much longer. And better for exterior use. But in general, the Auxito led bulbs are one of my most recommendations products. And these are excellent bulbs ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

You are on high or what. ? 😄
Hey man! Sorry to hear what happened. I’ve been finessed by dealerships before and I’m paying the price for it now. You got a keeper, marry that woman. She holds it down for you. Looks like you drive a civic, can’t go wrong with that reliability. Stay positive, you live and you learn. Trust me it’s hard i also want to get a 4Runner rn but how the market is right now I would wait. It’s a blessing in disguise. Just be patient, work hard and things will come to you. Take care of yourself!
It’s no problem, it’s truly a lesson I have to learn for being ungrateful and trading in my 2021 Tacoma, just too soon! We do get married next year by the way! The civic is hers but I do drive us mostly and she is an elite passenger princess. It is unfortunate because the 4 Runner was amazing. I am going through another challenge at the moment $. Doing the best I can because I do not want to live an average life. I must make it because there’s a lot id like to help other people with knowing the struggles of paying bills. You take care of yourself as well Monkespi6916!
Oh man...sorry to hear!!!
I had some lessons to learn, I was ungrateful which is where it started after I traded in my Tacoma for the 4 Runner without giving myself a day to think. One thing I know for sure is I really want a 4 Runner again!
Haven't seen anything in this video to make me leave the Toyota brand. Each to his own.
It’s not supposed to I know everyone has their preference no matter what. It’s difficult though even for me as much as I liked the Frontier I still really love Toyotas because it’s what I’m most comfortable with
I have the same black 4 runner except the TRD Off Road.... so I love seeing your posts. Want to see what upgrades you go with...
I was always stuck between having the TRD off road or the sr5. It’s too bad it was repossessed and I would love to have one again and provide valuable/entertaining content. For now I will work with what I got
Just hope they don’t use turbo in that engine. Once they do vehicle will become troublesome
Same Vince! I just want them to hold onto the Naturally Aspirated engine as long as possible!
I love the Frontier and I haven’t even got to test drive one yet but I love them cause of N/A nothing will break unlike turbo engines sorry not sorry but I give props to Nissan for keeping the tride and true v6
Not even exaggerating, the test drive of the Frontier really allowed me to feel the difference compared to the Tacoma which made me fall in love with the Pro4X. As long as people have driven it they will see what I mean if they’ve driven the Tacoma enough
Nissan was absolutely genius for keeping their naturally aspirated V6, and not jumping on the turbo bandwagon. If I was to buy a new midsized truck today Frontier would be a no brainier for me. I bought a new 22 Tacoma 4X4 that is paid off. Didn't want to deal with a turbo, knew what was coming for 2024. Nissan will be stealing business from Toyota. Naturally aspirated all the way,
We love the V6 because I also hate turbo lag, when I foot is down I want to go! But wow @Jeffry I wish I could have done the same with my 2021 Tacoma that isn’t in my life anymore. 😕 Hopefully Nissan will hold on longer to the V6
Nah over 3rd gen, but over 4rd gen def
3rd gen Tacomas is great but I just couldn’t settle for it if I had to pick between these two now
I have a ‘21 Accord Touring 2.0T in the same Sonic Gray Pearl. Love my Honda too.
I have not seen those accords in the longest time! They look good compared to the current models 👀 We love Honda too though!
Your dog is totally understanding and feeling your energy as you speak😊
It’s great to have them around no doubt 🐶
why are people making it seem like toyotas i4 are trash engines? When the i4 is highly comparable to their v8 in reliablity. I get it if you dont want a turbo but toyota has a great track record with their engines. Me personally I'd want the v6 and if toyota went crazy one day possibly a v8 for shts and giggles but that aint happening.
If the Tacoma came with at-least 300+ horsepower like the Frontier Pro4X does, that would be one negative off the list of things I don’t like about the Tacoma. But I do trust the reliability of Toyota engines which gives me peace of mind.
60 mph or less…you can achieve 20 plus mpg…congratulations..I also have a 4 runnner. Love it.
Sadly it was repossessed but when I can. I want to have one 4 Ever!

I have a 2021 Tacoma, TRD off road, When I bought it I had a 21 Frontier out for a long test ride I'm 6'1 and the Frontier just didn't have the legroom other than that I liked the truck. I know the new ones are larger and definitely sharp trucks. Good Luck with your new ride !
If the Frontier had more leg room would you have bought that one over the Tacoma?
@@ChrisGarcia.25 I don't know. I definitely liked the truck, a good friend of mine had a 2000 or 2001 Frontier that he got a ton of miles out of dependability IMO wouldn't have been an issue. If the new style was out in 2021 I probably would have bought one just for cost savings alone.
Understood regardless the Tacoma is still a great truck to have despite some of my ‘negative’ experiences compared to this current Frontier

I appreciate the comment HiPlains1 because I had no idea this was done to the Frontiers, it makes sense though to save costs
the Tacoma is great, just looks too long of a vehicle to me.
The Long Bed too long that it made me uncomfortable lol. I needed somethig that was easier to off-road so the short bed Tacoma was good 👍
@@ChrisGarcia.25 yes side by side Tacoma and Tundra not much difference in lenght
The 50k 4 popper Taco, the truck nobody wanted. And the rear door is at least 4 inches shorter.
What can we do now, they couldn’t listen to their customers so it may just get worse before they can finally choose to make it better. As for the Tacoma Pro I’d purchase it to really put it to the limits and test it for everyone’s sake.
Nissan is garbage don't waste your money
It depends because the trucks have proven themselves to be reliable, I’m only speaking about the Frontier, any other models beside the GTR I love I can’t say I’d praise them due to lack of experience and knowledge.
You know you can edit out the parts where you’re figuring out what to say
I’ll leave it out for future videos. I figured I’d leave it to show what I’m like sometimes in my natural state because I’m not perfect
@@ChrisGarcia.25 Ignore the comments, this is fine
The car content shouldn’t be about me, however I was also unhappy that it was on the wrong settings which made the original video look dark during the test drive.
A little roughness around the edges is nice, it doesn’t need to be a super-polished News Anchor presentation but you kinda pause and re-start several times to the point it’s distracting, imo
Roughness is seriously what I want to include into my videos because I would love to show others that even starting KZread it does not have to be perfect! Plus I know some just prefer when it’s more raw and authentic rather than taking out most of what the video is missing. I appreciate your input, Thanks a lot 🙌
Test drove both, but the reliability of Toyota is the reason why i went with the Tacoma.
With that turbo 4 cylinder no thanks hard pass.
@@MTG9878 I went with a 2022 for that reason!
3rd Gen Tacoma?
@@ChrisGarcia.25 Yes, Im a Toyota guy and im still scared of the turbo 4
I’m sorry Shibalba I just realized how dumb of a question I asked! “3rD GeN TaComA” DUHH!! Anyway honestly I think it’s fine sticking with the V6 because these will be future classics now especially and at-least for the time being you have peace of mind!
i decided on a used 3rd gen taco over the newer frontier due to toyotas reliability
I just wish Tacoma had what Frontier does, more horsepower, truck-like steering, no gear hunting, more comfortable to drive because on long road trips it wasn’t so pleasant. Still love the Tacoma though!
People say the 3rd gen Frontier copies the 3rd gen Taco. That's absolutely NOT true. The third gen taco has an inferior 6 speed transmission that shifts early, torque starved and endlessly searches gears. Then they bolted that up to the 3.5 Camry motor that was something they had on the shelve that was never developed for truck applications. Its was always a shit drive train combo. The seat position was also horrible making the driver sit too low. Ergonomic nightmare. Whereas Nissan spend the time and money to develop a new VQ 3.8DI motor for truck applications. Used a Daimler Benz 9 speed that was proven and did a great job mapping and tuning it for the frontier. As for Yota's 4th gen its a better truck in many ways but insanely overpriced for the mid size segment. I don't think it will sell nearly as well and they already have to discount to move them. Something unheard of for Yota. Not sure how reliable it will be as their 3.4 is having bearing failures and they already recalled 100K motors. Which is just the tip of the iceberg. A complete design defect IMO. My advice is don't buy a taco unless you can find a clean second gen (without rust) or buy the current 4 runner before they convert that to their TNGA platform.
Yeah, I had the 21 Tacoma and have to agree with your assessment. I hated the 6spd tranny it was always shifting or hunting for a gear. The seating position was awful, legs almost level and straight out in front of me.
I wish more could’ve been done for the third gen Tacoma to be a better truck, especially with all the negatives that you pointed out. I would love to have a forerunner again if you hadn’t seen mine and got repossessed, but just seeing them more and more now really makes it clear that it is exactly what I want for my future kids to grow up driving in for road trips
Only thing I did to fix the gear hunting was get the KD max tune and that alone really solved the problem, but then I’m still driving a truck with not enough horsepower
100% the new 4cyl eng in the tacoma will prove to be garbage
Yep just like the tundra
Big shame to no longer have a Naturally Aspirated engine that always gives you peace of mind
Exactly, damn Toyota..
I agree, who wants to pay that much for a 4cyl!
the turbo is just another faliure point, if you blow the turbo off roading that is not fun even if you can make it back.
I’m considering buying a 2015 Tacoma, a new Frontier, or a new Ridgeline.
All good trucks IMO. And the 2015 was the last good Tacoma year using the bullet proof 4 liter and 5 speed auto. Just make sure it does not have rust issues. Also the Frontiers from around 2015-2019 were bullet proof with the VQ 40 motor and 5 speed. It was even better then Yota's 4 liter IMO. I have a 2019 Pro 4X and that truck is a tank. Can't say enough good things about it. Unlike the Yota it uses a fully boxed frame and has rear disc brakes. The dana 44 rear locker is rock solid. My 8 way power seat is still much better then the second gen Yota. The best thing they make is the current 4 runner. Better seats, more room in back, and still has the 4 liter. For now. But not for long as it will be converted to that miserable TNGA platform.
If you absolutely need a truck bed, I’m more on the side of Frontier because as I mentioned in the video you get, more horsepower power plus a transmission that makes accelerating when you need it a breeze, no gear hunting which was annoying with the Tacoma unless you get it tuned like I did, the Frontier also feels more like a truck because of heavier steering. Test drive both a 3rd Gen and the Frontier for some time and you will see.
I appreciate the help and do you have a 4 Runner or would consider getting one?
@@ChrisGarcia.25 If I were in the market the current 4 runner would be the only Toyota I'd consider. Once it converts over to the TNGA platform i'm out. But in all honestly I would probably pick up a low mileage GX 460. Its based off the same J150 chassis as the toyota Prado land cruiser and there are many lift kits available if you want to mod. Its got more room, power (4.6 V8) and better ride then the 4 runner. Its a beast. But they quit making new ones. They just keep killing off the bullet proof body on frames. If you got some bucks go all he way and buy a 2021 Land cruiser model 200 with the 5.7 V8. I think 2021 was the last year made. That is the real deal and its so overbuilt it will outlast human life. Used prices for a 21 are around 60K-90K and worth every penny. They will never build anything like that again. The model 200 is uncompromising quality in every way. It has zero weaknesses.
I would love if the current 4 Runners came with an optional V8 at least but I agree because once I’m in the position to do so I want the 4 Runner in my collection forever. I haven’t driven a GX so hearing that there’s some more space and that it is more comfortable than the 4 Runner has me curious 👀
Third generation Tacoma is the most uncomfortable truck I’ve ever driven.
I have a 2015 camry that I use for Uber, the seats break my back after 30mins and when I sat in a 3rd gen Tacoma flet like they used the same seat foam material
I speak from experience and can agree to this 100% I even tried to put a seat cushion to get through a road trip, barely made a difference. This should be something everyone considers especially if you travel a lot
Back when I was in the market I test drove a Tacoma two times. There were two showstopper deal killers. First was the low seat. Second the crappy transmission that endlessly searched for gears. I only test drove it a second time because I could not believe the mighty Yota would build something that terrible. But they did.
That’s why I drive a 2019 Ram 1500. I drive 4-5 hrs a day and before bought my next truck I tried the Tacoma and it felt like I was seating on a plastic seat.
Each to their own I reckon. I guess my torso and 6 foot psychic are all messed up because my 2022 Tacoma pro seat feels more comfortable than most other vehicles I’ve driven throughout the years. Maybe I got a defective drivers seat; who knows? 😳
No Android Auto / Apple Car Play this late in the game?
Android auto and Apple CarPlay is standard in the frontier even the base model gets it
I’ve seen that the trucks come with wireless Apple Car Play / Android Auto
Nice walk around and Great sales talk... but a BIG NO😅
Not trying to sell anyone the Frontier but if it helps people understand where I’m coming from if they test drive both, hopefully it can help make up their mind. In the end I know the majority will always go Toyota which I can’t blame them for.
More people should not buy these overprice trucks, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevy, GM, etc... Let them sit on the lots!!! Dealers have been ripping people off for decades, let them sit for a year or two or more, until an affordable brand comes by...
I wouldn’t call the Nissans overpriced. Their fully loaded frontiers are like $37k brand new
I agree. Fully loaded Nissan Frontier is $45k msrp. Can find most on discount for $5-10k less. All other brands midsize fully loaded trucks are $52k or more. Nissan is not overpriced.
The definition of overpriced trucks is now owned by Toyota which is unfortunate for everyone. Most of the prices I’ve seen on the Frontiers are surprisingly cheap compared to other brands are.
As aTacomaa driver, I agree the suspension is super stiff but I personally would rather invest in a truck that is known to last longer. Frontier will last around 150,000 miles whereas Tacoma is 200,000-300,000 miles. And that is what sold me, but great video!
Not these new "Toyota" trucks... quite a few of them aren't even making it past their warranty period.
I see 200,000 mile plus frontiers all the time. I’m in the automotive industry btw
More than likely you will not keep it that long, anyways like the modern millennial you trade cars in constantly.
@@AmericaFirst069 ok buddy
Honestly I’d have to say my main gripe with the 3rd Gen Tacoma over the Frontier is the lack of power plus more comfort when taking long road trips. How are you liking your Tacoma though?
Haven’t had the chance yet of driving a frontier however I test drove a 2024 Tacoma trd off-road and currently owning a 2022 third gen Tacoma, wasn’t impressed. Yes, the 2024 Tacoma has great low end torque and the 8-speed transmission is a change for the better but the rest of the 4th gen Tacoma is cheap in my opinion. Glad you like the Nissan over the Tacoma.👍🏻
It may look cheap but its very expensive lol. The biggest drawback on the new taco is the price. Its simply not competitive in the segment. When you can buy a ZR 2 for 49K and a TRD pro cost 65K then there is a problem. Basically a low trim SR 5 at 45K cost the same as nicer Ranger XLT with FX 4 package for the same price. I've seen those two side by side and the taco looks like a cheap work truck in comparison. To get refinement on the new Tacoma you have to spend about 55K. Insanity. And probably why the only ones really selling well are the top trims with the premium package. Because everything else looks like a bucket of cheap hard plastics.
You think you’d ever test drive the Frontier to find out? 👀 I like them both but I wish Tacoma was just better besides the reliability
Sorry to say Toyota in North America is crap. Import an older JDM or buy the remaining 4 runner here now. Or buy last year's GX 460. If you have bucks buy a model 200 land cruiser. Last year made was 2021. Used prices are around 60 to 90K. And worth every penny. And will out live you. Yes, its that over built.
I do want a 4 Runner there’s no doubt in my mind that I want the 2024 model. But having a JDM would be awesome too!
@@ChrisGarcia.25 I test drove the 22 frontier and it was very nice. But not enough to move from my low mileage 2019 PRO 4X. There were some things I didn 't like. The front seats no longer have tilt. My 8 way power seat on my 19 is more comfortable for me. Plus they took away the power seat for the passenger side. I mean WTH? You seat a bit higher on the second gen. The back seat lost almost an inch on the new one. Basically they had the ergonomics nailed down in 2005 and should have left well alone. Put in the bigger center stack/gauge cluster etc.. into the old truck would have been perfect for me. I do like that my truck is port injected. But no getting around that with the CAFE restrictions.

It was an awesome truck without a doubt , idk your financial situation but $800 is a high payment , you should’ve definitely weighed your options prior to checking the vehicle out , when I purchased my Corolla Apex it was preowned with 32k miles and was $21k, I put down $9k after working hard and saving money and my payment came out to $307.

U get ur money’s worth from Auxito led products. Those particular one, I would prefer for interior use. Because they produce 2W. For constant on daily, they can last for couple years from my experience. The higher the wattage, with constant use. The shorter the lifespan. If u had the other Auxito led bulbs T10 with 14 led diodes. And makes 1.2W, those are better balanced and will last much longer. And better for exterior use. But in general, the Auxito led bulbs are one of my most recommendations products. And these are excellent bulbs ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I appreciate the insight I never thought about the wattage and lifespan of the lights just because of my previous experience of not having issues. They have not failed me which I’m happy you are verifying this to help everyone out!
@@ChrisGarcia.25 that’s what I do to help others for the brands with in depth about it
You’re doing a good job Brony 👌
@@ChrisGarcia.25 thanks a lot man. I’m doing my best to help others to find the right type of led bulb replacements. And never buy cheap bulb products that has no aluminum heatsink to dissipate the heat, so it will last longer.
Keep doing what you’re doing your service is appreciated here 🙌
Dude this thing looks sick. Congratulations!
Hey Sully! It looks good no doubt! I no longer have it though 😅😟 I would like to have one again once I’ve put myself in a better spot. Do you have one or want one?
@@ChrisGarcia.25 you'll get one again and no I am looking for one soon. Always liked this model and the way it looks.
Thanks! But the SR5 with the blackout package is the way to go for looks and then just add the upgrades if you so choose. Best of luck to you in making the right choice!
Nice, I also did this to my Toyota 2017 Mirai. BUT there’s an issue with the interior front light. After turning the vehicle completely off there’s like a parasitic draw. The light is not on or car but a faint light can be seen in the dark, drawing power even though car is off.
I’m curious because I look something up about that issue, did you use the lights that are compatible with the Mirai or did you buy random lights?
@@ChrisGarcia.25 I bought Sylvania LEDs that are compatible.
Thats weird that it’s doing that. If you’re having the same issue the only thing I’d try is maybe installing different brand lights otherwise I have no idea why it would be drawing power
