Buying a Dodge will be one of your biggest regrets, terribly made, its been proven worst american made truck is a dodge, transmissions are terrible and drive shafts are worse.... just experiences from my father had one and i know many people who hateee them.
i have an 09 Crew Cab 4X4 SE and i love it 35,000 miles all ready and its been great and i was looking at the tacoma but when it came down to it the Frontier was the right choice and i love it!
i know its a little bigger than you were looking but F 250 Diesel! No other way to go, plow snow , tow, beach buggy, better mileage than a hogging gas, ALOT of room
!
I think it is the exact opposite. especially if it comes down to the frame rusting. Toyota has had problems with frame rusting and falling apart since the 1990's models till now. Thats why i went with my 2009 nissan frontier. It is a great truck! my body has a 2001 frontier he just uses for the beach with 180,000 miles and running strong
