I shall not buy another chevy till they fix the POS tranny. I had that truck for 75k miles put lift, tires, and 4-15" for sound. It was a fun money pit, in the end I'm happier with the nissan. Having a 6 speed manual stock is way more fun and no one screws with my truck.

I gotta ya! It's kinda like how all of the drug dealers around here quit driving Mercedes and BMW's, and started driving Buick's. The cops don't mess with the Buicks cuz they think it's a bunch of old men driving them, and they're still nice cars!

I actually love Nissan products, and my wife currently drives a Maxima and my daughter a Sentra. We have owned the Maxima since buying it new in 1999, and haven't done anything to it but a brake job!

I hate to say it but once you have a nissan its hard not to buy another. I wrecked my first frontier and I test drove everything, didn't find anything worth while in the $20-25k.

Paid $17k out the door with 24k miles

Sorry, Ghost.... but I did own a Nissan... and while it was the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned... it felt like I was riding on a 2x4... and it was gutless.. while I liked it overall, someone stole it in broad daylight in front of my apt.... The S10 I replaced it with was almost as reliable but was a MAJOR stepup in comfort! Now I can hear all the laughter in the background about an S10 being an upgrade in Comfort.. perhaps I should at this was a 86 Nissan P/U and a 90 S10. I replaced the s10 with a 99 Dodge Ram Sport and was in Heaven! the common thing about all of these trucks was GUTLESS! Alas.... the 99 Dodge was a POS..... looked GREAT and had more problems... quite a disappointment... what do I do? why buy a HEMI of course.. I gave Dodge a last chance and despite how I drive it and how many times I have been to the dragstrip it has been one of the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned. Price out the door was $24,395... I had one of the first Hemis in the Houston area and that kept the price up.... it was also a SLT Sport
I have checked the Titan out but it seems a little cramped to me after the Dodge.... How about my 4570 raceweight at the track? I am about 200 lbs w/Helmet...

The newer nissan trucks are completely different, I like the hemi scsb but I couldn't find one without all the options. We only have a few small dodge dealers here none of which would wheel and deal me out the door.

I was looking for a 4 banger 2004 frontier for a daily driver and keeping the blue chevy. Ended up with something different...

Could have been anything, right now I would buy a Raider. They are so stinking cheap, saw one with a $13k sticker new with a v8.
