The lack of a competent, cheap compact truck on the market is why I still drive my 362,000 mile 1998 Frontier. It does everything I need it to without costing a fortune ( It was $11,500 when I bought it new-and it's a king cab with A/C!). I have towed cars with it, hauled building supplies, and put all manner of automotive detritus in it's bed. All that and it's just a cheap, 4 cylinder/5 speed 2wd truck. Sorry, but I don't think that you need to have an F-250 to do 99% of the things most people want a truck for. It's one thing if you have a 10,000 lb trailer to haul, but most people don't haul much more than some Jet Skis.
