I just got back in from driving the Nismo and TRD Offroad back to back. Honestly, the Frontier drove better, better creature comforts, better seats, better interior design, more power... worse milage though, the power outlet in the Tacoma's bed is kinda handy, but still a gimmick.
But still, things that struck me was the thicker, smaller steering wheel, more 'normal' looking dash, more upright, chair-like seating position, nicer fabric, more aggressive styling... $1500 rebate VS. nada on the Taco... Supppsedly better resale on the Taco.
Comparably equipped, I'll be saving some $3000.
Honestly, most folks I speak with say get the Taco, because there is a reputation for reliability no question. You'd be surprised how many folks say "Frontier? whats that?"
I'm kinda sold on the Frontier... I guess I still have to mull it over with myself and become comfortable with the decision.

You're looking at EPA numbers, real world can vary widely and iirc, the EPA numbers are different by 1mpg. big woop.
Also, yeah, Toyota is known for reliability but they built that reputation in the 80's and have been living off it since, they're not any better than anyone else anymore. I seriously doubt there is a significant difference in reliability.
