I'm with you goat, when I bought the truck I never considered trading or selling it... I felt it would be the truck my son would drive when he's 16.... he's currently 3 months
I wish they'd go to a different company to get the diesel motors... I worked on internationals (heavy duty rigs) and never really liked the motors personally.. I'd like to see a cummins go in, however I don't know how good the smaller motors are, i've only worked on the 350's they put in 18 wheelers. I just know my cummins motors were pretty much bullet proof and all running 1,000,000/year.
I'm pretty sure Nissan has it's own diesel line ups from other countries as well as a diesel they use in their heavy duty trucks, so diesel and nissan shouldn't be so unfamiliar.
