Frontiers are awesome little (relatively) work trucks. I don’t ever need to haul people so I ripped out the rear seats and installed shelving for anything I need to keep secure and dry. Big enough bed to throw nasty/oily parts. And a good enough towing capacity for most rental equipment like bobcats and lifts. Basically a half van.
Frontier is exactly as much truck as most truck owners actually need. I love it. I wish it was more fuel efficient but it’s a mild, modest, effective vehicle and i have not yet run into a situation it couldn’t deal with. Wonderful purchase. It turns like a boat but that’s a decent trade off to avoid the Toyota Tax on the Tacoma.
This is actually a Navara, which is the European equivalent of the Frontier. As far as I know, it’s otherwise the same vehicle, but Frontiers usually come with a 6-cylinder petrol engine, whereas this one has a 4-cylinder turbo diesel. Mine originally only had two seats to begin with, since I preferred the longer bed instead. Ironically, the bed on this monstrosity didn’t seem any bigger than the one on mine.

Yeah, they’re pretty close to the same truck. I would have loved the diesel option, but we’re deathly afraid of small displacement diesels in the US.
