Mid-size trucks from other manufacturers mimic the 2008 Nissan Frontier's wide range of features.
The Dodge Dakota comes in two- and four-door versions, with V-8 engines available and four-wheel-drive packages for more serious duty.
The Toyota Tacoma offers a big V-6 engine, a special off-road version, and even a sport-tuned edition.
The Honda Ridgeline comes in one four-door configuration and one V-6/automatic combination, but its cubby-laden interior and highly functional truck bed make up for its odd styling and not-quite-full-size bed.

For those of us who don't live on a ranch, the 2008 Nissan Frontier is large enough to haul real people and cargo, but sized for the urban-congestion reality. | Especially with the improved V-8, the 2008 Dodge Dakota can do most of what a full-size truck can while consuming fewer resources in the process. | The 2008 Honda Ridgeline is a flexible light-duty truck with a plush feel, but it can't tackle all the tasks a full-size truck does well. | The 2008 Toyota Tacoma covers the basics, at a price that’s lower than full-size trucks. |
