I had great luck with Gen 2 Nissan Frontier 4x4. 4.0 L V6 burns gas on the bad side on the good side is a very reliable engine. They fixed the timing chain issues that the Gen 1’s had.

My only Nissan I hated was 1995 4x4 3.0 V6 had the strawberry issue. The radiator and trans cooler were connected. If the connections failed you got coolant going into the transmission cooler. Destroyed the transmission. They fixed it under warranty no issues.

Unless you get the desert runner package or Pro-X they ride rough. 4x2’s if you change the shocks to a stiffer shock like a Blisten 4600’s or similar they ride better.

I have a 2018 Nissan 4x4 lifted.
Rides a lot better than Oem.

My only beef with Nissan is there are less aftermarket options for sprucing up the truck vs Toyota.

Yeah it's annoying.

A set of dirt king UCAs and either 6100s or 8100s go a long way to making the tacoma and frontiers better riding.

The GM stuff rides better, but their bushings, shocks, and steering components don't hold up as well as they should.

The problem is, a young guy is going to be incredibly rough on things.
