heres a question why does everyone like this thing?
I don't like it or dislike it, it's basically a Frontier that doesn't look as good and I kind of like the Frontier so.

I can give you a few reasons why I like it:
1. 2"+ more ground clearance than a Dak
2. Standard four wheel limited slip on 4wd
3. Available locking rear diff
4. Lot of aftermarket stuff available
5. approx 40 more hp out of a 4.0V6 than standard 4.7 V8 (I know its at a higher RPM and I don't care)

If I could do it all over again I would definately get a frontier/equator instead of a dak.

You know what that truck don't look half bad especially in its off road look. I don't think I would buy one but my days of driving a truck are coming to an end I think. No raise at work and gas prices expected to hit 3.50 to 4 bucks a gallon by summer. Too bad they didn't have a suzuki truck at the philly auto show I would have liked to check it out. We all know the big 3 are the kings of trucks but I always like to see what other companys come up with.

I wouldn't knock a Suzuki a bit. I bought my Geo Tracker, the rebadged version of the Sidekick for Chevrolet, with 125 miles on it in 1994. It's had tires, plugs, water pump, brakes, clutch cable, timing beltand distributor replaced on it. As it sits now, it has 202,000 miles on the odometer and still gets 29mpg running strong. It's been to hell and back three or four times and never left me stranded. I'd still be driving it daily if I could fit me, wife and two kids in it. Instead, it's a beach buggy/hunting vehicle. That's more than I can say for my wife's cavalier ormy wife's ZX-2.

lets turn down the Flames in here guys.



As far as the truck... Its not my cup of tea, not one for the huge front ends like that or the new tundra...
personally i agree with this truck, the front looks...a little odd to me, the tundra i think fits the size, it's big, with a big front end that kinda complements it. but im not a big fan of the nissans anywho, i liked the roof rack styles they had and that's about it...the bed ws way too small compared to mine in quad cab
