This has get to be the worse vehicle I have ever owned. I bought it used about 2005 with 33,000 miles and undercoated. It ran great and still does with 142,000 miles. But about 10 years ago the ABS system would stop working for a few months and started working. This happened off and on for many years and nobody, even the dealer, could figure it out. This past fall I decided to clean the sensors and took out the left sensor and went to clean the sensor ring, it was broken. Called dealers and other places all over the country and could not find one. It seems the ring is no longer made. Found the whole hub with a good ring at an auto salvage yard. Put the hub on and it still would not work. Pulled the plug to the ABS Actuator and had battery voltage to pins 17 and 18, 19 gnd. but no ignition voltage on 15. I checked continuity and as I bent the wire it would work off and on so I had to tear apart half the dash to find out what fuse the wire went to. Great, this must be the problem, NOPE, but now had ignition voltage to pin 15. Two years ago I needed an inspection so I crawled under to recoat any undercoating falling off, like I do every year. I found four cracks in the frame. I had these fixed and under coated. He pulled all the sensors for the ABS and said it was ok, for a few days. This year I brought it to a shop and their scanner said the Vehicle Speed Sensor was bad. They tried to get it out and tried. They had to destroy it to get it out. Then they found the PLASTIC gear in the transfer case had a broken tooth so out came the transfer case. Then put in a new sensor and it worked for a few minutes, tried another new one and the same problem. I needed to use the truck but now the speedometer didn't work. It seems half the VSS controls that and half the ABS. They also found a torsion bar and frame rusted so bad it was a danger. That was fixed and they started to trace the wiring from the VSS but again I needed the truck and without the speedometer. The other day one of the rear leaf springs completely broke. Over the years the chain and lowering unit for the spare tire rusted so bad I had to cut the plate holding the spare tire up, put the spare in the bed, which has rusted and fixed three times. Replaced the tailgate, rusted, replaced rear bumper, rusted through. Fuel tank replaced, rusted through, oil pan, rusted through. Tailgate cables broke, rusted through. Bolts holding cooling fan sheared off. Small rust spots on the hood, are you kidding me ? This is a few of the things this piece of crap has caused me. I have had two Frontiers and never had these problems and this truck has never been used for off road. When your on a fixed income it's hard to just get another but when I can it will NEVER be another Nissan.

As it gets older, it will get a lot of off road / back road use. I want compact external dimensions, and a short turning radius for the (almost) roads that often use. This fills the bill. It is quiet on the freeway. The only real wind noise comes from the bug deflector. We average 18.5 mpg with a canopy, a bed full of "family stuff" and 4 people in the truck. It has no squeaks and rattles.

I purchased it new. It's my second Nissan truck and without a doubt, I'd get a third one. Past couple of years I drive 22,000 miles annually. The only parts that were replaced were from routine wear and tear. I've done everything recommended to maintain it and replaced all parts as they wear out. 2007 my mechanic said the engine would go over 200,000 miles and now 2009 he's saying it'll go over 300,000 miles. I'm getting a new car end of this year but definitely keeping my truck.
Awesome
