Why should I also consider these? X

The 2008 Toyota Tacoma rides harder than the comparable Nissan Frontier models but doesn’t handle quite as well.

The Nissan has a better-looking interior, with more comfortable seats and appointments, as well as sprightlier performance from its 4.0-liter V-6.

But the Tacoma has a more enviable reputation for reliability.

Both the Colorado and Ranger feel inferior and outdated compared to the Tacoma, with subpar interior appointments and a lack of safety features, but the Ranger makes a strong case as one of the only true compact pickup designs left—and it's very fuel-efficient in basic four-cylinder form.

Then there’s the Dodge Dakota, which is a little closer to full-size than the Tacoma and has available V-8 power for towing.
