    So I currently have a frontier 4x4 crew cab supercharged truck. Good truck but I drive about 55 miles or more per day and it's 13.5mpg is killing me. I've long been a Toyota fan and I had an Xb before the frontier.. I have spent most of the afternoon researching the car and I believe I will be driving a prius tomorrow night unless something happens.

    BTW car is at a Toyota dealer and they just put in a new water pump and a few other misc service items. It is an 08 with nav and leather and is in near mint condition. Been very well cared for. I've looked at many and was losing hope in finding one in my budget in this condition.

    Thanks for having this knowledge base..

    Awesome choice! Identical to mine but a different color. My prediction is that you're going to love it. Sounds like your new ride has a pkg.6 also.

    Yep. Same interior too (bisque w/carpet mats). Mine has the perforated leather though. If you've got leather and nav that means that you've also got the fog lamps and it's a pkg.6 (all of the bells and whistles available for that year).

    scroll down to "options".
