Both were recently redesigned to get fatter, I think the CRV was fattened up for '09 and the Frontier for '10 but I could be wrong. Doing a side by side on fueleconomy.gov the CRV gets considerably better fuel economy at least by EPA estimates. The only pickup I know of that will touch it is the Colorado. Some safety minded folks don't like the Colorado, apparently it doesn't do great in crash tests.
I don't think you can go wrong with either based on your criteria. As with everything it'll be what you feel as you drive it. -Curt Date: Mon, 5 Jul 2010 11:03:13 -0700 (PDT) From: LWB250 <lwb...@yahoo.com> To: Okie Benz <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: [MBZ] Car/Truck Opinions Message-ID: <722359.94577...@web65701.mail.ac4.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Yeah, I know everyone has them, but..... I am going to buy something new (to me) next month. I am considering either a Nissan Frontier Crew Cab or a Honda CRV. I want something I can carry stuff in, and either one would fit the bill. I don't need 4WD or any of that garbage, so that's not critical. The only thing I don't like about these two choices is the marginal gas mileage. Please don't suggest an old MB. I want something late model (2005 or newer) and reliable that does not require repairs. I need wheels that I can do regular maintenance and put fuel in and be done with it - I don't have time to tinker. If you have any direct experience with either of these vehicles or can think of something comparable, I like to hear it.
