| The Car Connection's Take | |||
| TCC Rating | |||
|
|
|
||
| TCC’s Bottom Line | |||
| The 2013 Nissan Frontier is the best alternative to a full-size pickup: it's maneuverable, manageable, and a bit more conscious of gas mileage. | If you don't truly need a full-size truck, the Toyota Tacoma's price and simplicity could make it a viable alternative--but it can get expensive, and its ride and gas mileage will have you reconsidering your motives. | ||
