    The AC and DCSB share the same frame, it's not too hateful with turning radius.

    I probably missed it. But here's one more and sorry if it's been shown.

    By far and away that is a leading cause of their downfall.

    I remember my first Nissan truck. It was a 91 4wd Extra cab 4cyl with a 5 speed in it. The paint was called Royal Blue, but when you looked at it from a certain angle, it looked purple. That was a great truck. I don't think it ever left me stranded.

    Having been a Nissan fan boy for 10 years owned a 06 fronty 4wd 6MT nismo KC 150k got totaled, 07 Titan le(this was a lemon Nissan bought back, 11 Titan pro4x had 285k when traded in. Now 15 Tacoma with 132k.
    Really enjoyed the frontier was imho a more robust truck, more power, just as reliable, fell short in the ergonomics, turning radius was as much as the Titan, but best bang for the buck midsize.
    Titan very underrated 1/2 ton had gobbs of power, very comfortable, very reliable, and easy to drive.
    Here’s a pic of the ol Titan.

    Badass truck man. Is this the one with the Fox shocks you were chosen to test out before official release?

    SWB - Short Wheel Base, the Access cab and crew cab short bed share the same wheelbase and turning radius, etc. Not sure about the regular cab of old.

    I think they had mostly electrical connector corrosion issues, otherwise they're pretty solid.

    Damn nice man. Would you rather get another Titan of that generation or a new Tundra as it is from the same era

    Ohh that’s a tough one while the tundra is a beast I’d still go with the Nissan since I know that platform fairly well.
    Current generation tundra every time.

    There’s a dealer I pass everyday driving to and from work; Lately, their inventory has been overflowing into the parking lot of the shopping center across the street...

    This tells me that they are having a hard time moving inventory!

    I think there is a rule now that if you drive one of these, it must have a dent in the door and a hole in the exhaust so you can hear it a mile away. Oh, and the clear coat absolutely must be peeling everywhere.

    Some of the vehicles on these pictures have license plates, and I believe they belong to dealer employees who have no room to park on dealer property...

    My dad bought a brand new S-10 Blazer at the Chevy dealer next door almost 27 years ago!
