As a decades-long Toyota loyalist, I bought a new 2022 Nissan Frontier. Toyota ruined its truck line with crappy turbo engines, hollow build quality, cartoonish bro-dozer styling, and insane pricing. The Frontier has a naturally aspirated V6, rock-solid build quality, conservative yet handsome styling, and reasonable pricing. My loaded Frontier SV long wheel base was $39K OTD. Almost 2 years in and the Frontier has been flawless.

@@uhAlphaFox That's interesting. Rare, though. Car and Driver magazine always prided themselves on getting the best results possible, for just one example. Then readers started calling them out on eliminating the rollout time, usually a couple tenths or a bit more. They copped to it, since they had no choice, but still do it. So their published results aren't actually real 0-60 times, they're more like 2-60 times. They also use tricks like traction-compound-treated strips with perfectly clean surfaces, and I think they also "correct" their times to sea-level-standard conditions, which also makes them look better than they really are since they don't test at sea level. They'll also abuse the hell out of cars to get their times and sometimes tell stories about fragged clutches and transmissions and the like. KZbin types don't usually go to those extremes.

Toyota used to be affordable and reliable. Can't say that any longer... Made in Mexico with turbo engine. Quality went downhill faster than you can say " Andale Arriba Arriba !!! "

Not interested in a 4 cylinder truck. Toyota, you once made a great truck. Sad to see those days are gone.

Get you a big diesel then. The V6 is the taco now is junk and no power.

Drop the sewing machine engine and bring back the reliable V6! My 2005 tacoma is still running strong.

I REGRET BUYING and no help from dealerships. i got the truck in june and i hooked up a trailer once and now im getting what others call "ghost trailer"bug. the truck thinks im pulling a trailer when im not and all rear sensors do not work . dash also keeps displaying a trailer message that wont go away . the dealership is also charging me almost $300 for diagnosis and $700 just to see if rear bumper needs to be realigned. nothing seems to falls under warranty . truck has been to the dealership service twice now an still no fix

If you ever wanted to know what a 4 banger would be like in a tundra this would be it 😂

Does it track you and send data to corporations or government? Can it be turned off. This info should be included in every road test.

I bought the last of the V6 4R’s recently, the 4R will be ruined as well.

Hope you don’t wanna go anywhere far with its tiny 18gal fuel tank. Particularly if you’re towing or hauling.

Get a Tundra and get more capability space and almost the same fuel economy.

Bigger and uglier than ever. I don’t want a turbo either. The addition heat, compression etc will shorten the engine life. Bring the basic Toyota Stout or something similar to the US.

Agreed Toyotas going like the big three !! 4 cyl turbo 8 speed transmissions high tech electronics !! Gimme the old school V6 5 speed transmissions not all glitzy designs !! Say what ya will but the older Tachomas will still be on the road for a long time while these newer designed Tachomas will be in the shop getting the engines n transmission repaired !!

Would this engine have been designed with additional compression and heat in mind?
