I’ve been doing my bit of research and I really to seem like the Nissan Frontier and the Toyota Tacoma. I’m just looking for some feed back (if any) on the pro’s and con’s of these vehicles. I’m also open to other suggestions of makes on trucks. Again I’m not looking to get into a truck bigger then a Frontier or Tacoma, something comparable to them.

🙂 All in the original post guys.

I’d like to get a full size truck like an F150 or a Chevy 1500 but I don’t think it’ll fit in my driveway and off street parking in my neighborhood is a pain in the ass. For the money I know am going to be spending, a full size truck is my best bang for my buck but I simply can not acommodate to my parking situation. I really need a truck simply because I find myself trying to borrow family member or friends truck because I constantly have a project going on and my job situation is changing which will make it more convenient and justifiable to own one.

I like the way both the Nissan and Toyota look. They both have great reviews on consumer reports for the most part. I’ve gotten a mixed review from several people on both trucks and what I think it will ultimately come down to a purchase on either one is PRICE. I plan on making a purchase outright and if I have to, finance a very small amount.
