#20 of 1428 Tacoma vs Frontier by joker Jan 06, 2005 (6:55 pm)
I just purchased a 2005 LE Crew Cab with leather and Rockford Fostgate packages. I initially test drove and had my heart set on a Taco but chose the Frontier because... 1) I like the exterior styling of the LE better than the Taco Sport with the cosmetic hood scoop. 2) Leather/Power Seats, Sunroof, Compass, Homelink not available on Tacos here in Chicago. 3) Spray in bed liner. Step rails. 4) Availability issues for both but found a Frontier close to what I wanted. Couldn't find a Taco close to what I wanted. 5) Local Toyota dealer not in a bargaining mood. New model, Truck of the Year....Blah.Blah..Blah. 6) Nissans reputation for building excellent engines and improving quality over the past few years. 7) Disc brakes front AND rear. That said, I'd be darned happy with a Tacoma if I could have found what I was looking for. I dont think you can go wrong with either.

Replying to: joker (Jan 06, 2005 6:55 pm) In making my choice i drove both the frontier and taco twice and this is what i decided. 1) Both are pleasing to the eyes but i preffered the frontier styling. Just personal preference i dont like the toyota front end. Just looks weird to me can't really explain why. 2)The options taco just didn't have them 3)Road noise in the cabin of the taco was terrible. Toyota really needs to sound proof the cab better 4)I thought both road about the same decision push 5)interior i acctually liked the simplistic interior of the frontier. clean lines very nice. 6)bed i like the spray in bedliner and railing system of the frontier. But i have to say the plug in in the tro is nice but in the end how often would i really use it 7)I liked the rocksford system over the taco system. Sub puts out just the right amount of base for me. inconclusion either truck would be a great edition to your driveway. Both manufactures are proven. The frontier was just more to my liking. Happy Trails!!!!!!!!!

According to the Toyota web site, they are the same price as always in the Denver region. Replies to this message: pricklypete (Jan 07, 2005 8:28 am) tacofan4life (Jan 07, 2005 4:06 pm)

Replying to: wvfrontier (Jan 06, 2005 8:25 pm) I thought I was the only person who found the Taco noisy. Slam the door on the Frontier and slam the door on the Taco, no comparison. No engine sound proofing on the Taco. The engine/transmission in the Frontier is heads above the Taco. It suprises me how many people are so into the Taco, not sure if many have even driven the Frontier. I read the Motor Trend Article, not really a very thorough review of any of the trucks. They like the Taco because it has 18 different ways to be order, WOW! You still can't get what you want anyway so who cares.

Replying to: drbill1 (Jan 06, 2005 9:39 pm) The Access Cab prices seemto be the same as always in my area...where did you see this $800 drop?

Replying to: saddaddy (Jan 07, 2005 8:17 am) What model did you buy/drive? Did you test drive anything else, or just know you wanted the Taco? Inquiring minds want to know. Also, how is the view from the top, can't wait to get there,(hopefully the ac works when i get there, but knowing how cold it is, i will probably enjoy my heated leather seats on the way up, or open the sunroof and get some fresh mountain air and sun).
