Is the Toyota Tacoma actually overrated… and has the Nissan Frontier been the better truck this whole time?
In this solo episode of the Camo Convoy Podcast, I break down one of the most controversial takes in the overland world: why the D40 Nissan Frontier (2005–2019) might be the smarter, more capable, and way better value than the second gen Tacoma.
We’re talking:
Real-world power and driving feel (not just spec sheet nonsense)
The truth about Tacoma “Toyota tax” vs Frontier pricing
Transmission strength and the SMOD issue explained
Why Nissan’s terrible marketing buried a great truck
Titan swap capability and why it changes everything
Simplicity vs modern “features” that nobody asked for
Overland culture differences between Tacoma and Frontier owners
Plus we get into real ownership, off-road reality in the Northeast, and why most builds are way overkill for what people actually do.
Also in this episode:
Minimalist overland packing strategy (stop hauling junk)
Longest trips and real travel experiences
Pathfinder Pro app update and why it’s worth paying attention
Upper Peninsula trip prep, expectations, and logistics
If you’re a Tacoma owner… you’re probably already typing a comment. Good. Let’s hear it.
