If I was going for a smaller truck I'd definitely choose a Tacoma or a Colorado ZR2

I like the look of new tacomas. Don't like the seating position though.
Have you guys looked into the NEW Honda Ridgeline?
Black edition is nice but 57k. Eek

The Ridgeline is nice - more SUV/car like than the other trucks and far more comfortable. But $$$!

Yea. I agreed. Very nice vehicle. Just the price is $$$
For those who think ridgeline is garbage. Go and look for yourself. Give it a drive. GAME Changer. I'm not even a truck guy just need bed for Lake times

I love the Ridgeline, it's comfortable and it's the truck that 80% of truck owners need.

Tons of room on the inside for front and back row and the in bed audio system is great for times by the lake

The new Tacoma is pretty garbage, the ZR2 tho is amazing.

Consider a Nissan? I have traveled plenty with a local frontier in my xterra and we have been some fun places with no trouble

The current gen frontier is just a ridiculously stale platform. It's been around for ages, how Nissan gets away with going 10 or more years between generations is beyond me. Well actually it's probably not beyond me, it's obvious by the fact that nobody even talks about the frontier anymore.

It was a nice truck like 5 years ago. But now it's outdated and outclassed by literally everything.

I searched high and low about a year ago for a nice 6 speed pro 4X, either the Xterra or frontier. I had a bias to the xterra, but a nice one of either model and I would have pounced on it. Frontier never showed up, and frankly I'm glad I didn't get one. Xterra I still long for one, but a quick look on CL shows a nice one with manual is still 30k. Lol no thanks, I can buy a nice 4runner for that kind of money, or spend a little more and just get a diesel.

I bumped this old thread because I figured there might be some interest in this.

My old man did a few pulls on Racing Greed's dyno with his truck the other day:

2013 Ecoboost 3.5L
aFe Stage 2 Cold Air system
aFe Stainless Y Pipe
aFe 3.5" Stainless Cat-Back Exhaust
aFe Bladerunner GT Intercooler & tubing system
MSD Ecoboost Coil Packs
Some aftermarket throttle body (can't remember brand)
SCT x4 93 octane performance tune

482ft/lb @ 2900RPM at the wheels on a Mustang Dyno is pretty impressive.
This truck hauls.

I'm the furthest thing from a Ford fan but cotdamnit, that's pretty sick.....and on that dyno.
