Sad day indeed. Would be cool to have that last one off the line. Didn't realize Ford and Chevy were following suit. The Japs will own the small truck market.

I figure mine will last me forever...I like the rams but I just don't need a full size...if I do have to get a new one it will be a frontier...I've had two and they are very stout trucks. Never had a problem with either one and put @70k on each one

The Frontier was my second choice. Its V6 the best out of anything else I've driven that didn't have a V8. Nissan has definitely done their homework on small trucks. Ford and GM let their small trucks rot and never updated them, I'm not surprised they are getting rid of theirs.

The Dak is my first truck and must say that I really do like it. Not to small and not to big plus with the V8 it can handle lots of work. It has never let me down once.
