Just curious why everyone is gushing over this truck? You already have a 1/2 ton with a proven, good powertrain, just as much (or more) payload, etc. It's the F150 with the EB 3.5. The GM trucks are similar but without the flat torque curve of a turbocharged engine.
Sure Diesel is "cool" but the additional cost for fuel, maintenance and engine premium makes little sense in the short/long run.
But it is an interesting vehicle for sure.
It's also funny how someone mentions hauling a 10k RV with an F150 that's properly equipped, the responses are "NO WAY, YOU NEED 3/4 or 1 Ton". But you can't wait to pull that with this Nissan!
