Despite the redesign the Tacoma underwent for 2016, it still remains on the same playing field as the Nissan Frontier. Its focal point for the new year was to boost off-road capability, to which the Nissan Frontier simply responds with confidence that comes in the form of the Desert Runner edition mentioned above.
True that the 2016 Nissan Frontier remains unchanged for the most part when compared to those undergoing drastic redesigns, but this helps it to remain the most affordable option that is just one hwy mpg shy of tying the Tacoma–impressive for being thousands less. The Nissan Frontier is offered with either a 4-cylinder or V6 engine and can be configured one one of two body styles: extended cab ( 6.1 ft cargo bed) or crew cab (5ft or 6.1ft bed.)
