cheap truck
 Overall a cheap truck, both good and bad. Engine torque performance at start up and pulling grades was poor, especially with a load.  Number 2 plug wire was against a metal bracket and shorting out intermitently for first 5000 miles, once repositioned, performance became marginal.  Traction has been very poor when unloaded, until it resulted in a crash into a road bank at 15 mph and $5K of damage. Have now replaced the original 225/70 tires with 205/70 tires.  So far that change has proven to be useful, wet and dry traction seems to have improved and the torque/gearing now is acceptable.  The speedo/odometer, of course, is off now, as nissan offers no adjustment.
