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).

Replying to: drbill1 (Jan 06, 2005 9:39 pm) When I first started looking at priceing on edmunds.com, kbb.com, and msn.com for the Taco the invoice price for the truck I want: 05 Access Cab 4x4 V6 6-speed manual TRD #2 was 25,297. Now if you go to those same sites and price the truck the invoice price is down to 24,500 so almost $800. I'm sure the price difference will vary depending on the model and options you select but another 800 off the truck I am looking for is great! The sticker price hasn't changed much but that doesn't matter if the invoice has gone down.   Now I just need to find a dealer that has one in stock!!   Good Luck in your search
#31 of 1428 Insight into what Nissan is thinking . . . by jasong2 Jan 10, 2005 (8:44 am)
I bought my 2005 Frontier CC 1/7/05. When I arrived at the dealership, the sales force was meeting with the Nissan corporate execs for "2005 Frontier Training." I stuck around for a bit and eavesdropped for a while. For the training, the execs brought Tacoma, Frontier, and Dakota crew cabs for the sales guys to look through and test drive. Afterwards they gathered and had a very honest discussion of the three trucks.   To start, the Dakota wasn't even considered as being in the same class when handling, quality, power, etc. were considered. The real competition is between Tacoma and Frontier. The Frontier has a little bit of an edge on paper under the hood and a few other areas. The Tacoma has some advantages, too. Most agreed the buyer will make a decision based upon past experience with the maker, whether they are a "Toyota Person" or a "Nissan Person," pricing (Nissan has an advantage), and styling. Nissan is betting on grabbing consumers who are not loyal Toyota buyers, like the lower price tag, and the new 2005 styling (compared to the somewhat dated 2005 Tacoma styling).   Interesting insight I thought - Jason Replies to this message: badness (Jan 10, 2005 2:13 pm) xwesx (Jan 11, 2005 9:55 am)
