Default nissan frontier

i'm thinking about getting one... anyone have one or have any opinions on it? any idea what the actual gas milage is? it says 20/16 on the window sticker, but is that accurate?

quality is no? I think chevy trucks are much better quality then nissans...

as for durability, how many 1970s nissan trucks do you see on the road? I see a lot of chevy trucks

don't confuse chevy cars and chevy trucks.

only thing I don't like about the truck is the amount of gas it eats. It has 25gal tank and I spend about 80 nowdays on gas. 18mpg is good but not great. I think nissan is probably better on gas since its not v8

how many 1970's nissan trucks were even sold on our shores?

im just saying material quality, GM sucks period. the interiors are hard plastic, the metal is so-so... stuff like that... truck quality, yeah they last... although i know a guy that has an 06 Silverado HD, he had to replace the front end after 1 plowing season. didnt even have the truck for a year but if we wait 20 years, we'll see how the nissan trucks held up compared to our american work trucks...
