      Just bought mine 2 days ago.
      SV long bed 4x4. Took a while to find one with packages I wanted. Tech pkg and convience pkg.
      Most pleased so far. I despise all the crap loaded into trucks.
      Even my f350 dually is a 2002. Real simple
      This has all the basics so I can work on it and use it.
      Dont expect all the fancy stuff. Just what you need and will actually use.
      Do expect a price you can afford
      I agree its a winner !

We take these trucks all over the place, through stuff most people would not want to go. neither trucks are lifted, I have added a few things to my Gladiator such as a winch and some off road lights, thats about it. We have taken these trucks cross country on vacations multiple times.
    The biggest reason I chose the Jeep is because I wanted the ability to take the roof off and I like the solid front axle.

    I had a 2021 Tacoma TRD Off Road and planned to get another, but I was hesitant to deal with the new model and the turbo 4 cyl. Test driving the Nissan and comparing it to my Taco, the difference between the Frontier's smooth, powerful V6 and the 2021 Toyota's sluggish V6 was night and day. The fact that these Frontiers are sharp, reliable, still using the V6 *and* offering $6-$7k discounts off MSRP made this truck too good for me to pass up. I bought the Frontier Pro-4X and love it.

    The tacoma manual says for example that you need to let your truck idle for 1 min after coming home so it doesn't damage the turbo. If that alone isn't enough to cause people to stay away from these small turbo engines i don't know what else to say.

    • @rossagge
      @rossagge 2 месяца назад +1

      Yes, exactly. That alone is gonna hurt Toyota's future reliability factor that flock so many buyers to the brand. It's no longer gonna be a great second or third hand vehicle to buy anymore. How many owners of the turbo 4 do we think will actually perform a proper warm up and shut down of a gas turbo engine? Now it's gonna be in the 4Runner, and every other Toyota vehicle, which is mainly a grocery getter and do you think moms are gonna take the time to do this, nope! Toyota should have taken the cost of all the other useless gadgets in these vehicles and used that to install a turbo cool down like in vehicles of the past. That would save the turbos and keep confidence up on buying one of these pre-owned. It's pretty much the same for all other manufacturers going this route due to the "new green deal".vFor me, my second vehicle will prob be a Frontier 4x4 of some sorts. My upcoming purchase will be 21ish GX 460 w/port injection. I'm keeping my Lexus GS 350 w/D4S dual injection in the family, but passing it along.

This is like how all service departments recommend changing the oil at 10kmi. But if you read the disclaimers, in the manual, it state this is under optional conditions. Other than optimal conditions is to be changed at 5k mi. What is other than optimal cond? High heat, 95 deg or higher, dusty environments and I believe long periods of engine use. So that's everyday driving, especially for vehicle is Texas and most states. So I would say let that turbo cool down after a run to the grocery store. Why chance it?

    As the infrastructure in the United States keeps getting worse having an over reinforced off-road vehicle like the Jeep or the Nissan Frontier seems a logical choice to handle the obstacles.

    I just wish they had a long bed Pro 4x and I know why they don’t because of departure angle 📐 and not wanting to be high centered as easy. Mainly I want a long bed for two things; I can haul longer items and for hunting season I could use the bed for an actual bed.
    I work at a CDJR dealer and I am starting to appreciate the Gladiator more. Although even the Sport trim is close to 50k with a few options vs higher trims so the Frontier ends up being more enticing.

Their santa cruz had recall on the tow hitch and now the owner is selling the vehicle having never been able to tow with it. Again, first year issues. This is Ranger and tacoma's first year but the ranger is at least using proven powertrains that were either in the previous gen ranger or in the shared Bronco platform. So while ford has had a streak of recalls they may be the safer bet over toyota just for that fact. Frontier is only minor changes and has been out for years now. Not much thrills but likewise not much to go wrong. They just need a minor refresh of their infotainment/camera system and it would be nice if they finally gave a integrated trailer brake controller.

    • @Scroll_Lock
      @Scroll_Lock 2 месяца назад

      That was a known Honda issue with the 1.5 Turbo engines in Civic and CRV. The fuel rail was pushing higher pressure and making it get past the piston rings into the oil pan. All the midsize trucks are direct injection currently with the Tacoma being the exception. IMO Tacoma will give you way bigger problems earlier on so the direct/port injection isn't much of a bonus. All direct injection engines have a potential oil dilution problem if you don't warm them up or change your oil regularly but I've seen no indication that the Frontier engine has this problem. This same 3.8l has been in Frontiers since 2020.
