i dont know why i didnt get hte ridgeline back then. i just looked it up and its better.
The Nissan Frontier is the best body on frame midsize imo. The Ridgeline is a unibody construction. It's very reliable but as a unibody it's not as capable. Doesn't matter if the Ridgeline is used primarily for city driving. Unibodies have a much smoother ride.

the nissan has mediocre reliability which is probably why i didnt consider it.

I saw the new Ridgeline and it's smaller than my Taco.

I enjoy the higher ride qualities of the Taco, I get to see around and over the nearby traffic.
You know I get the Big Picture, I'm not just stuck with looking at the bumper of what's in front of me.

Comparing a sub compact to a truck is stupid.
Neither is designed to compete with each other.
A truck should be better interior, seat comfort, noise isolation than a sub compact which is the cheapest class of cars

Unfortunately the tacoma is probably comparable to a mitsubishi mirage when it comes to that stuff

Its hard to imagine the ride being much higher than the ridgeline

How much lumber can a mirage hold ?

How much does it cost vs what are you getting. I feel like it should be above average at least, but only the ridgeline does that plus reliability

Im going to look at my old tacomas rating again
the gen before yours was mostly average like my subcompact or many compact cars. it was better than your gen. the new one is comparable to 2 gens ago. still got nothing on the ridgeline. i know 2 people who bought your gen too. its crazy. my buddy bought a chevy full size and i congratulated him for not getting a tacoma. sometimes i think i shouldve got the modern mazda 3 i wouldve had better noise isolation. mines just average and its kinda annoying. you should notice on your tacoma the seats arent very comfy, and a lot of noise gets in on the highway. plus im guessing the interior has a lot of plastic. even my subcompact came with a little bit of leather on the dash and door i think.
