For the money, I ended up going with a Nissan *Specifically* so I could afford a 4x4.... I find them to be just about as reliable and capable.
My day to day ride is the car I keep nice, and I couldn't really fathom putting a saltwater kayak on top of a toyota and climbing in covered in fish guts.... I am a true believer in Toyota, but just couldn't justify the extra cost.
If it helps at all, I went back to an 04 model, as any AT frontier between 05 and 09 is *garbage*... apparently there's a huge known problem where they start dumping coolant into the oil and vice versa.
A solid 4x4 frontier is pretty rare (esp in MT as I prefer) but this one has been a dream and less than $6k with 100k miles....(watched craiglist for 3 mos and had to drive to bakersfield by the time I found it)
Took it up to big bear in crazy icy roads without chains or snow tires, and the all-terrains did fine in 4WH
