Tacoma vs Frontier
 After 3 months of comparing these two vehicles, the Frontier won!  It cost much less than the Tacoma, it has more "git up and go", and has a more solid ride verses the bouncy feel I sensed in the Tacoma.  I figured that the Frontier has far more horsepower and torque per pound in comparison to the other trucks. As an added bonus, my first round trip in the Bay Area freeways resulted an average 24.6 mpg on regular gas!  City driving cuts into it at about 18.5 mpg.  Though I miss the compass/temp read-out feature, the balance of the dashboard is laid out very thoughtfully.  Some say that there's too much plastic in it but it's my work truck, who cares!
