I went from a '17 Tacoma to a '22 Frontier. I absolutely hated the Taco. Uncomfortable, terrible engine power, a clueless transmission which was always gear hunting. Averaged 17mpg. Just awful to drive every day.

The Frontier is more comfortable, more powerful, better fuel economy, better trans programming and additional gearing. Same size as the Taco. 34K miles without issue. We’ll see if it lasts 250K, but I couldn’t stand the Taco. I parked it unlocked on the street hoping someone would steal it. No luck.

At least in the US, it will take quite a while for our consumers to accept a Chinese made vehicle, let alone EVs. We are a bit slow to adapt unless something earth shattering happens like $12 gas or a world war.
