I drive a 2016 Taco. I didn't like the look or the ride of the Frontier at all. Very pleased with my choice.

wrong. My wife's Gladiator has a 7500lbs max tow. The highest in-class.

The diesel is available to order now.

The backseat is huge with plenty of leg room.

We put 35" BFG's on her Rubicon and it looks even better.

For those saying it's ugly, I will agree on the Sport, Sport S and Overland. The axles are narrower and it just makes the truck looks like an old mail jeep. The Sport can be ordered with Max Tow and it will come with the same axles as the Rubicon (minus the lockers).

The soft tops look decent when they are on but they look like dogshit when they're open because they don't fold down all the way. Looks like a bad haircut.

If we weren't "Jeep people" though, I'd be buying/driving Tacos for sure.

The frontier has the turning radius of a Nimitz class aircraft carrier

After test driving the ranger, Ridgeline(owned a first gen), Colorado, and Tacoma.

I liked the ranger the best.

I like the Tacoma, but it's just far behind in the creature comforts and drive was okay. If durability was the only factor in choosing a vehicle, sure, but I don't get why it otherwise gets all the hype.

I plan to drive my 2010 taco until it dies.

With 123k miles it's barely broken in.

Didn't think of the diesel. Wife's is actually 7650. I just looked up the Gladiator diesel to see what its tow rating is. It will be rated for less than that because of cooling issues. Glad I didn't wait for the diesel.

Honda Ridgeline


Blows my mind that people think this is a truck. It is closer to a Honda Accord than it is to a truck. Basically a modern El Camino.

That’s really high for a non full sized truck. We are a long ways away from the old S-10 and compact hardbodies.

An El Camino is way cooler than any Ridgeline ever built.

I would love an El Camino. Tacoma’s have too much hard plastic inside for my taste

I have a weird desire for an Australian Ute, in particular the HSV GTS Maloo.

It’s an older design and I honestly don’t care for the styling.

I like Honda vehicles. It’s really disappointing how they completely refuse to design and build a decent looking truck. They could do it if they wanted to.

Can’t get on board with their Ridgeline.

I have a loaded GMC Canyon SLT and it is awesome. Great interior and plenty of power.

I am 6'3 and I fit fine in it.

The Tacoma sits funny to me and I know that it is a good truck.
