I own Toyotas and Nissans in the past and currently. Very reliable vehicles and I drive them to the end of their life. I have been look at to small trucks for awhile. The New Tacoma and Frontier: crew cab, short bed. Both are really nice trucks and very similar with 4.0L V6. It's hard to decided.

Tacoma Pros: Nice seats and Interior, More leg room, Toyota Quality
Cons: Hard to read gauges, Plastic front bumper, Oil filter location

Frontier Pros: Bose system, Nice dash layout, Chrome bumper,
Cons: Less leg room, Flat body line, Rubbery center console.

I'm perfectly happy to own either trucks. Both are priced similar and I don't care much for resale value. Plan to get 4-doors and install leveling kit with larger wheels and tires. What is your opinion on these two trucks?

Reason for other trucks: Chevy Colorado: No V6, Ford Ranger: No Crew Cab, and Dodge Dakota: Not a dodge fan (sorry)
 
Toyota Tacoma!

the tacoma rides a bit smoother, and the interior doesn't look so- plasticky, plus it has more legroom, and i believe its a bit taller, which is a plus if you're a taller person.
 
I don't think you can go wrong with either, personally, but as I read your question, I get the impression that you are leaning toward the Tacoma.

If the best things you can say about the Frontier are the 'Nice Dash layout, Bose System and Chrome bumper', then the Tacoma is your truck.
 
Toyota ftw! i have a tacoma and it is awesome! its very dependable, fast and has a loud system. ive had the "maintenance required" light on for over a year, and it still drives like the day i got it
