2008 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab SE 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 6.1 ft. SB (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Sold on Nissan
 I did about 6 months of serious truck research on the mid size models.  I narrowed it down between Toyota and Nissan.  Toyota was about $5000, more, had spongy brakes, and low seat position.  Nissan offered a $5000 cheaper truck, better seating position ( I have a 34 inch inseam).  Engine and transmission are super smooth and I like the gentle rumble of the engine when it starts.  All controls (AC/radio) are easy to reach and I like the big knobs and well illuminated dash for night driving.  Nissan has pulled away from Toyota and made a better truck.  The frame is rigid, spray on bedliner as well as utilitrak and the bed extender make for a great package.  The SE power package perfect.
