Well, now that i've driven 3 or 4 V6 D-cabs, I must say that the acceleration is not what i would expect from a 3.6L. It must be the gearing or something. My wife's Sienna minivan and our Tribute have more punch when i floor it.

I'm still gonna try a Frontier crew cab. Not that I need it, but they even have a supercharged model just for fun.

The supercharged model has only got about 20 more horses, and 20 FT LBS of Torque then the N/A Tacos..

Put a supercharger on a 3.4 Taco...

HOLY $H!T

I have to say..You probably wont be *that* impressed with a Supercharged Frontier..They have Adaquite power, but, nothing to go boasting about.

We had a customer in the shop I used to work at, with an 01' Supercharged Frontier..

Wasn't *that* much faster then My Xtra Cab, 96 V6 4x4 5 Speed Taco. I'm sure it can pull more, but all-in-all, not that much more impressive.

That, and EVERY Nissan 3.3L V6 that I've worked on, has a leaking Passenger side Exaust manifold..

My buddy at work just picked up a new Frontier (big mistake, I know. I tried...<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />). He was all excited about getting the supercharged model until he drove it. Aside from a little more off-the-line jump, it was pretty much identical. He ended up getting the regular V6 and still looks longingly at my Taco every morning when he parks next to me. Ha! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the tips. I'll only look at the used Frontiers because they are thousands cheaper than the Tacomas. I want to be able to compare. I haven't driven one yet.
