Cheaply built??? I test drove both the Tacoma and the Colorado and the Frontier had the best quality of the three. As for the supercharger, no it does not. this new model has a N/A 4.0 that puts out 265hp. it is part of the VG engine family(350 Z). | |

"fawned" what the heck word is that?  Congrats on the purchase. Why'd you call it a Nismo? Does it have some Nismo parts on it? Nismo = Nissan Motorpsorts for those not cool enough to know. |

I'm looking at buying a new truck in less then a year and I've narrowed it down to the Frontier and the Tacoma, I think my 95 Dakota that I bought new is the best truck in the world but I'm not liking the new Dakota. the only thing that will change my choice is if Jeep gets the Gladiator with the diesel on the market. btw my brother who lives in australia has a Nissan Patrol with a 4.2 litre diesel in it, why can't the US market have that engine?

NISMO is just the offroad package. the only thing that i am aware of that it has on it is the NISMO Spec dampers. And of course the decals on the side. those have to account for some kind of performance right? It does have an electronic locking rear diff. i haven't had a chance to use it yet though :( | |

fawned= fond   it just seems cheap. i'm not shure why. i just got out of our new f-150 and grabed the door handle of the fronter and was like "WTF  ". then i closed the door and it sounded like it was going to bounce back open. then the seat are stiff and unconfortable to me. feels like your riding on a horse or somthing. :?

Not real sure about the door handle, but the reason that the door sounds like that is becasue the cabs are extremely air-tight, in fact mine sometimes doesnot close on the first slam. as far as the horse comment, i have never been on one so i could not compare. but i can say driving 30 min to work and back every day my ***/back has not felt bad at all. | |
