I drove the Tacoma and the Frontier both considerably to compare, and the ultimate winner as far as price goes and value, is the Frontier. The Tacoma has a weaker engine, the bed is flimsy, as well as the frame that the truck rides on, its not a fully boxed frame(Only HALF of the truck is semi boxed, the rest is just open framed) like the Frontier(every respectable truck manufacturer uses fully boxed frames for a reason, they are more rigid and provide better towing #'s). On top of all this, the Frontier rode better, offered way more power and way more features for less money. Overall the Tacoma didnt hold up when side by side to the Frontier.
It grows on you.

Frontier was purchased new during the recession. Dealer inventories were sparse. We needed to replace an industrial model S-10. This truck is loaded with options. In 9 yrs it has only required its recommended maintenance and a frt brake repair. Everything still works. It was very competitively priced as a new truck. Our primary issue with this truck is its unwieldy intown handling. On other roads it’s fine and has been our long trip car since new. Until recently it averaged nearly 20 mpg consistently. It has been used for heavy hauling on occasion without struggling or deterioration in its handling

SV Crew Cab V6 Manual 6 spd This pick up is a great deal. May not have all the tech. Strong engine fair gas mpg(avg 19) I have had no problems. One thing make sure right trans oil is used on service. Wrong one is a big problem. Trans does not shift well at all, Can not get 5-6 gear without double clutching.

Nice truck, but maintenance is becoming a headache

So I like the truck. This is my third Nissan - I got 10+ years/100K+ miles each out of my Pathfinders with very little maintenance other than routine stuff. This Frontier, however, is starting to become painful. At about 80K miles (6 years) the harness and cable to the driver side downstream O2 sensor chafed through due to placement above transmission. Also had the O2 sensor replaced - didn't have the tools to break it from exhaust pipe, so spent roughly $500 to get the work done (good mechanic, not dealer). Less than a year/10,000 miles later, the passenger-side camshaft sensor went bad, nearly leaving me stranded. Turns out that this sensor is nearly impossible to reach, much less replace. It was a $650 bill to get the work done at a good independent shop. Now, at 8 years & 100K miles, I replaced the spark plugs and discovered oil on the outside of one plug and in the well. That will require replacement of the rocker arm/valve cover at estimated cost of $600. To get the passengers side plugs out (and the valve cover....) one needs to remove the entire plenum assembly (air intake, plenum, etc), which is a 1-1/2 to 2 hour job assuming there are no frozen bolts. There's been the routine stuff - tires, oil changes, etc. So it rides well, meets my needs, but is becoming very expensive to own. Budget $0.10 per mile, or more, depending on mileage.

I compared Frontier & Tacoma - other than interior design the Frontier is way ahead... exterior, ride, driver comfort, performance, road noise, value. My past vehicles were 4 cylinder compact cars, so this was a big change. Love it so far! Getting about 21mpg in mostly city driving using a/c - better than I expected (easy on the gas, manual transmission). Back seats are just fine for the kids. Can't speak to reliability yet.
