Interior functionality is good, and of course quite important, but lately a truck’s bed is increasingly becoming the place where functionality is most important of all. It’s no longer just toss in a load and go – thanks to the Titan, Tacoma and the 2004 F-150, tie downs have reached rocket science levels, with tracks and clamps holding all manner of equipment and cargo. The Frontier is no different than the Titan in this regard, and in fact offers the same UtiliTrack system, a great tie-down scheme that will hold about anything from cruise missiles to motorcycles. It works through five "C" cross-section rails mounted in the bed and with removable utility cleats that slide into the channels, providing a wide range of attaching points for securing cargo. Tacoma also has a track system – though the clips and clamps seem a touch less substantial than the Frontier’s weightier offering.
