If by "kind of neat" you mean "ugly as shit," yeah, I can see where you're coming from.
I hate hate hate the new style of big-nosed trucks, mostly designed by Nissan and Dodge, and the uber-extended cab just makes the truck bed look so ridiculously short and... impotent. |

Ugly or not it's MINE NOW
Dude! I was gonna ask you if it was OK to mention that Jimbo set me up with a fine ride... crew cab, 4x4, V6 and aw hell, today I am finally a man and have me a pickup truck! I'm gonna go pick it up right from James tonight. Jacquelita says I should get the rifle rack next but I told her I'm gonna put on Calvin peeing stickers if I can find a rice version. Seriously, I'm killing my car hauling my bass gear around all over the place (about 200 lbs of it!), so I decided it was time to make the move. And aside from the fact that James works there, I for one am convinced that Nissan is making the best vehicles today. On the tw scale, it must be a flat-out horrible engine, producing only about 66 hp/liter. But we have to assume the rules are different for trucks which can tow and haul, where torque is a consideration, and not just a big-ass engine to make this bad boy pretty fast even compared to a lot of cars. |

Jimbo calls to say I did get the silver one and not the gray so now I can share in your shame Clod I was pretty much unconcerned about the color anyway. And yeah Z, I know, I can't play speed racer any more. :| I had to look deep within my soul to see what I could give up. Trucks are cheap... if I have another midlife crisis and get more flush with dough, I can trade 'er up later!

Any chance they'll get back to a cleaner fender design someday or do people actually go for this? I'm biased pro-Nissan btw I've put some rough miles on my old one.
edit oops didn't intend to pile on didn't realize there was another page...

I'm really diggin' it like I thought I might!
And I think Jim actually likes financing for people he sorta knows, and who won't get all uptight and suspicious and stuff. |
