Replying to: bobad (Feb 04, 2008 7:15 am) I think that you would be ahead to sell your 92 (Toyota pickup???) yourself on Craigs list. The dealer isn't going to give you much on a 16 year old vehicle that they wouldn't give on a no-trade deal. There are always buyers for older pickups in nice shape. It would be an easy sale.   Personally, I prefer the looks of the Frontier over the Tacoma. They both suffer from "tough-truck" styling, but to my eyes the Frontier is far more attractive. However function is what trucks are all about, and Nissan seems to offer more for the money.   I have had excellent experiences with both Nissan and Toyota pickups. I drove a 1990 Nissan std cab 2wd, 4-cyl, 5-spd for almost 10 years until it was broadsided by a stop-sign runner. It had 202k miles on the original engine and clutch and was still running great. My current ride is a 1996 Tacoma ext cab, 2wd, V6, 5-spd that currently has 204k miles and still going strong.

Replying to: oregonboy (Feb 04, 2008 8:39 am) Thanks for the reply, oregonboy.   Good advice. I actually did make no-trade deals, and will throw the '92 Toyota into the mix when I visit the dealers again this weekend. I will be asking just a tad under retail for my old truck as found on the NADA site. I usually sell privately, but I don't want to have to deal with a retail sale on this one. You should see how great that old truck looks and drives. Stand back 10 feet and squint, and the truck looks brand new inside and out. The Nissan guy hinted that he may give me 3K for it, if it's as nice as I told him it was. Replies to this message: carnut21 (Feb 04, 2008 4:10 pm)

Replying to: bobad (Feb 04, 2008 10:38 am) I think you are better off with the Nissan. I have an 05 Frontier with the 4.0 and it has been a marvelous truck. Not sure who Nissan pays for advertising but the truck better than advertised.   Even in my 4.0, I am getting 20-22mpg with the 6 speed manual with little or no effort and that is mainly city driving.

Replying to: bobad (Feb 04, 2008 7:15 am) I think you can do a little better on the 07 model. The 07's have a $2,500 rebate and the 08's have $1,750 rebate. The Nissan should be a far better buy than the Toyota and you will also have a better truck. Replies to this message: bobad (Feb 04, 2008 6:19 pm)

I have a 05 DC LB 4X4 Tacoma. The manual indicates a 850 payload capacity. I want to put a cab over camper on the back. I noticed the Froniter in the same configuration has a 1392 payload   Can this be accurate?, is there that big a differece and if so does anyone know why??   At only 850 pounds I dont think I can do the camper thing with my truck and I go places to tight to tow a trailer Replies to this message: driver56 (Jul 02, 2008 6:58 pm)

Replying to: ksenator (Jun 30, 2008 10:43 am) Try checking out the 4 wheel campers site. Some of their ultra light pop-ups weigh in at a measly 600 lbs. or so. I own a 07 crew cab Frontier Nismo 4x4 and have considered putting one of their campers on when I'm through using my truck to haul around my construction gear.
