I purchased the base model "s" version in October 2011, although it was considered the 2012 model. Base model, 4 cylinder with 5 speed manual transmission. Only options were air conditioning, and a bed liner. Overall, this was probably the most dependable vehicle I've ever owned. If I remember correctly, the MSRP was $18,500 and I paid $17,500. I'm a do-it-your-selfer and changed the oil every 5,000 miles, put a few batteries in it, one set of Michelin tires from Costco, and had very few repairs. Air conditioner condensor failed at 75,000 miles, and that was all! Sold it with a mere 90,000 miles and it still had the original brakes! Downside....I hauled a 1,000 pound camper in the bed for the first five years or so. While the payload capacity was adequate the 152 HP engine struggled a bit at times. Going forward, I removed the slide-in truck camper and purchased a small pop-up camper weighing in at around 2,000 pounds and the truck performed ok once on the road but struggled at times. Overall, inexpensive to maintain, insure, and purchase. After 12 years of ownership I sold it for about half of what I originally paid when it was new...can't argue with that!

This vehicle had us in the shop way too much. Sensor after sensor replaced on this truck Too many issues. And only Nissan parts can be used so they are expensive!!!We will never own a Nissan again.
