After agonizing for over a year over which pick-up to buy, I finally picked
one. I had a 14 year old F150 that I loved, but my 16 year old son managed
to severely injure it (no reverse) which finally forced me into making a
decision.
The candidates were -
Toyota Tacoma
Toyota Tundra
Ford F150
Chevrolet Colorado
Nissan Frontier
The winner was the Nissan Frontier. The Frontier was selected more as the
last one standing than because it was my initial favorite. Initially, I
ranked them:
Tacoma
Colorado
F150
Tundra
Frontier
I wanted a smaller truck, with 4WD, an automatic, and air conditioning. I
eliminated the Tacoma because it was not price competitive. Of the five
Toyota dealers closest to me, the lowest quoted price (w/o taxes and tags)
was over $26K for a truck that met my minimum requirements (it had options I
did not need, but they all did). I really wanted to like the Colorado and
was close to buying one, but after setting in the truck and looking at the
construction, I just decided to pass. It didn't help that I just had a
horrible experience with another GM product (2003 Saturn Vue) and that the
Colorado was the second most expensive truck I priced. The F150 was a very
very nice truck. For most "ride around" truck buyers, it would be the best.
But I hate the fact that they jacked the truck up so high and then raised
the bed sides. For my use on a farm, it is just not suitable. Equipped as I
wanted it, the Ford had the lowest quoted price but in the end I just
decided it was not suitable for me, despite my long term satisfaction with
my old F150. I think Ford has decided to copy the Chevrolet Silverado and
target the F150 to people who buy trucks as alternate cars that can
intimidate the neighbors and occasionally carry light loads. I wanted to
like the Tundra. Over the last two years, I have test driven several
(regular cab, extended cab, double cab), but in the end it is just a third
rate copy of the old style (pre-2004) F150. It is big on the outside, while
being cramped on the inside (regular cab) and they don't make a short
wheelbase regular cab model (I wanted a shorter truck than the long bed
model). Plus, the few I have seen in farm use just don't hold up. The Tundra
was the second cheapest vehicle (almost the same as the Ford). The Tacoma is
a better truck than the Tundra for me. And from what I have seen, Toyota is
about to lay a giant egg with the new even larger Tundra. This left the
Frontier. Initially I wasn't even going to look at one, since my feeling was
that it was about the same size as the Tacoma and would be priced the same.
This turned out to be wrong. The 4WD extended cab Frontier with the V6 and
automatic was significantly cheaper than the equivalent Tacoma. The rear
seats are a joke, but then I don't plan to use them as seats. The bed height
was perfect, and the bed size was good. The V-6 has lots of power (more than
needed). The seats are comfortable. The Frontier was not as cheap as the
F150 or Tundra, but then it had more options (both the F150 and Tundra were
stripped down "work trucks"). The Frontier had more stuff than I needed
(power mirrors, power windows, power locks, etc, towing package, bed liner,
CD player), but it was so close to the F150 work truck in price, and a
better size, that I decided to give it a shot. At over $4000 less than the
Tacoma, how wrong could I go?

Just curious because I like to know how and why people make their vehicle
decisions...
I see that you looked at 2 full-size trucks and 3 mid-size trucks, which I
can understand. Why not look at the Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Silverado, and
Nissan full-size as well? Why not Dodge trucks?

Well, it MIGHT always happen that Nissan will turn the corner and make a
vehicle that will actually survive, intact, for ten years.
Good luck on your crapshoot.. my bet is you'll have an engine and tranny...
mebbe the complete running gear.. survive and wish you could transplant
'em.
BTW, did you actually LOOK for/at any 10 year old Nissan trucks?

Well, we already have a Ranger on the farm, plus we have owned 4
others. Nothing wrong with them, but they are smaller than I wanted. I
wanted something bigger than a Ranger but smaller than an F150. I did
not want to rule out Ford, so I was considering a shorth box regular
cab model F150. The Colorado fit my requirments, so it was my GM
product, not the Silverado. I have owned a Chrysler products before,
and at least for me, it will be at least 50 years before I'll own
another. The Nissan full size is too big and expensive. Like Toyota,
they don't offer a short box, regular cab model. Regular cab, 8 foot
box models are bigger than I want. I far preferred the size of the
Frontier.
If i had some extra money i would go for a frontier as well, good size,
I have 2 small kids, that would fit perfectly in the back, a 6 cylynder
mortor with pleanty of horses, for more mileage, im getting 10 to 13
right now, 4x4, but I would go with the Manual transmition. Not to
mention a nicely equiped frontier is under 30k, cant say that bout the
others in the catagroy.

It sounds like you did your homework! Different people have different
reasoning behind their buying decisions so I like to hear as many as
possible.

Similar situation, had a 1978 K20, low miles with mansize rust holes
about the body. I didn't need the large capacity and size, so looked at
smaller trucks. Always had Chevy and looked at Colorado. Not thrilled at
no 6 cyl. engine available. When I saw the newer version of the
Frontier come out around Dec. '04, waited until the dealers had some in
stock. Compared features, looks, etc. of other models you mentioned, and
got a Frontier King Cab in Mar. '05. Great vehicle.

Different strokes! I looked at them all and bought a Tundra. So far I love
it. Quiet, powerful, smooth ride... seems to haul crap just fine. The bed
dents easily but then again don't they all if you toss rounds of firewood in
them...

My father in-law has a nissan frontier thats 14 years old. It finally
started to show spot rust (he lives in wisc) but other than changing oil,
the thing has been rock solid for 300,000 miles. Not bad for a 4 banger.

It says Nissan on the back. I assumed it was frontier.
Thanks for supporting US workers! We all appreciate it. Not!
By the way, I have a neighbor with a Fronteer that has been in the shop
twice in its first 4 months. My 2005 F150 has never been back and
everything is perfect...
