I'm not sure I get this truck, either. The engine seems like overkill in a 1/2 ton, especially in light of what Ford and RAM are getting out of their 3.5 and 3l V-6's. It would seem to fit in a 3/4 ton package, but if Nissan is 'bragging' about a 10k gooseneck, the ratings probably aren't there.
I hate to admit it, as I am vocal about being not brand loyal at all, but I also would like to see this in an American truck. I really couldn't see myself buying a Nissan truck, no matter what it could do.
Of course, 4 or 5 years ago, I couldn't have seen myself buying and loving a V6 truck, either, so I guess you never know ...
Would you buy the Ram if it had the v8 cummins? They are a foreign company. Would you buy the Nissan if Ford purchased the company? I know it has been stated before. But pretty much all the auto manufacturers are public corporations. You can put as many American dollars as you want into their stock and buy something from a company YOU own not a foreign entity.
