I'm in the market for a new midsize for my DD. Money wise the basic is a lot of bang for the buck. But I'm old and get off-road some so looking for 4x4 and some extras. I Like both the Frontiers and the Tacomas. One selling point for higher end models is I can at least tell my wife I won't have to mod Right now I'm leaning towards Nissan mainly because a bit less expensive for what I need. I'd like to see a matchup of the Toyota models. Drag race was interesting but not much use to me I'm not a desert runner.
