I don't care for the Nissan product, never have never will. I checked them out a few months back and thought wow the inside is nice. Outside was a no go on my style, others may like it, payload was so low with the diesel. I don't think it's a bad truck, just not for me. I'm still trying to figure out why Nissan just did not go 3/4 ton? I suspect the 1/2 ton market is strong and they want a larger piece of the pie. For those who bought I it the XD version, keep us updated on your experiences. I am watching this engine only because of hearing that the tundra may come with it. At least from what I heard which I could be wrong, if so ingor my last. If Toyota will use it, I wonder how it will be package? Will it be an XD type Nissan truck or a true 3/4 ton offering. Just throwing this out there since we are now discussing payload. I believe that payload is important. In accidents that I have personally worked, I usually find the truck underrated for the particular towing unit that's attached to it. Whether it be a TT, 5th wheel or gooseneck involved, I always check what type of tow vehicle was involved and the weights/capacities of both. Regardless of what prices are for trucks, people need to buy the right truck for the job. I really don't care if it's an 1/2 ton 3/4 or 1 ton. All do a great job in pulling there rated amounts. Crazy thing is now we are getting mid sized trucks getting in the game with impressive payload and towing numbers..... And then GM throws in a game changer and goes diesel.... Going to be interesting when the Ford Ranger hits the playing field again in America. I have said it for months and will keep saying... The midsized market is going to really grow. When Fuel goes back up for whatever reasons, a lot of people just driving around big trucks cause there cool will be unloading them and going smaller....
