I am planning to get a 2001 Nissan Frontier 4cyl used and had some quick questions. 90% of the time I plan to carry a 400lb motorcycle in the bed. Very occasionally I may carry an additional 200lb motorcycle (600lbs in bed) and tow a trailer (550lbs) with a 400lb bike (i.e. 600lbs in bed + 950 lbs towing). Would this be a problem for a 4 cyl stick shift? I'm not really concerned about great performance but I certainly do not want to be redlining the truck when going up grades!
My second question is about quality and reliability. I need some opinions on how the truck compares to the Toyota Tacoma. Thanks very much.
