Given the fact that we have almost three times as many Tacos on CarDomain as Frontiers, it’s not a huge surprise that the Toyota won this week’s Showroom Showdown. The vote was more like 3 to 2 for the Taco, though, so the Nissan definitely has a lot of fans. Personally, I’d take the Frontier based on looks alone. What a hot truck! But both are great, and I agree with Mike–these can’t really be considered "compact" pickups anymore, they are more like mid-size trucks. But then what are the Dakota and Colorado?

If you’re looking for a compact pickup, chances are you’re gonna look at the Nissan Frontier and the Toyota Tacoma. We have tons of examples of both trucks on CarDomain, and they both have a great reputation on and off road. For the purpose of this match up, let’s compare the V6 4×4 extended cab models with all the NISMO and TRD goodness. So, which would you choose, the Frontier or the Taco?

Check out this crazy ice formation. Happened in Lyons, Colorado, which got about four inches of snow Wednesday night. These spikes developed on the rear wheels of a Nissan Frontier after driving through a bunch of wet and melting snow yesterday. Ever seen anything like that on your wheels?
