I bought this Pro 4x truck with luxury trim new after much research. I have had about 20 trucks over my years and this one exceeded my expectations. I am tall 6'3" and wanted a midsize trail truck. I looked at the Tacomas and the leg position is weird with your legs straight out. This truck has a more normal feel but would be better if the driver's seat could track back about 3 more inches. The view is very open and no concerns. I bought an extra 4 cleats for the track system and a receiver load bar to carry lumber and have yet to find something i can't haul like building my deck. Ok so my best example in northeast NY is the snowstorm we had last winter. We got 24" of snow and my wife thought i was nuts playing around in our huge yard testing the truck out and it plowed thru the snow. The only problem was our plow guy blew his transmission before he got to us and she needed to get to work. The RD is a main backroad and where it met my drive way the plowed snow which was harder and clumped was 3 1/2 - 4' tall and about 4-5 ft across I was already outside and not going any where so i decided to test the truck some more. Worse case i'm home anyways if i had to shovel out if i got stuck. I put the nose against the snow pile. ( I want to mention that right after i bought the truck I added a 3" suspension lift and a bull bar up front with LED bar) so I put the truck in 4x4 low Differential lock on and slowly hit the pile trying for 6" and backed out and did this repeatedly about 8 times and the truck broke thru to my amazement to the hwy. I backed in and out a few times to flatten down the snow. After that I noticed that the snow on the pile where the truck drove over was flatten down like a toboggan had gone over it. That would be part of the 3 skid plates that are under it. I don't think it would have worked without the lift but my goodness I did not think it would make it out anyways. This is why I bought this truck. Yes it's dated but i'm old school and if its not broke dont fix it. This truck is built to be used off road so it's not as smooth on the highway as other trims but very comfortable. And boy do I feel safe. The more I use this truck the better I feel about my $40,000 investment including add ons.

Traded my 2009 dodge ram in for the 2016 Nissan frontier pro4x. I AM LOVE ! I have been looking for a new vehicle because my dodge literally was crumbling in front of me. Thought about going for the new Tacoma, but I didn't like that it was the first run of the " completely renewed Tacoma " so I went for the frontier. The thought of it not being changed since 2004 really grabbed my attention as they hold their value so well. I owned a 2006 jeep wrangler before my dodge and I would say the frontier drives super similar to how the older jeeps drove, which is why I fell in love with the pro4x. If you want a solid riding, reliable truck, then I say go for the frontier.

I own a 2016 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X. I purchased it instead of the Tacoma because I got a lot more for the money, while still being comparable to the Tacoma on reliability. I haven't had any problems with the truck - it's held up great. It does amazing off road, and having run it consistently hard off road, it still drives like new. My major complaints would be the poor gas mileage and bad turning radius. Other than that, I love the truck
