I think they should bring back the Xterra, but I don't think any of the vehicles that people would be talking about on here ever had CVTs, did they? All of the Frontier/Titan/Armada currently have 9 speed automatics. I don't think any of them ever had the CVT (though I believe the crossoverified...

Looks like the current Nissan CEO will step down, which seemed to be one of the preconditions for renewing merger talks.

Hmm, it's good to know that there is an off the shelf product out there (even if I suspect that it doesn't approach Sooper Camper's set up). I wonder how much lift it ends up providing. I've had my eye on these for some time as they come down in price, but the lack of basically any aftermarket...

Dpes RCV make them for the Y62 Armada? I see Y61 Patrol CV sets on their website, but not Y62.

How often do you run into situations where the stock front bumper would have caused issues where the aftermarket one doesn't? Obviously the stock bumper couldn't take the winch, but I'm more curious about approach angles.

That's great to hear. I'll manage to sit in one someday, but that reassures me.

Your estimated payload for your "Full" loadout is 1625lbs without hypothetical extra passengers or rock sliders. I would be comfortable with that. And if I also owned a LC100 and Range Rover, I'd be happy to just take two cars on the off chance that we decided to go on a family expedition. But...

Wait, so you're trading your Tundra and buying a full sized trick on the off chance that you want to bring along two very large friends to stay with you and your toddler in a small truck camper? I say simply let them drive their own vehicle and you don't need a new truck. Going further, looking...

Also, unrelated to the OP, but are any of you guys 6'1"+? I feel like I remember one Armada/QX review where the reviewer complained that they couldn't lower the seat enough. This is one of my complaints with my father's Gladiator. I hate when I feel I'm looking down out of the windshield. I'm...

Driving a new one and comparing is a good idea that I somehow never thought of. Thanks. I bought my current daily driver with ~175k and am about to hit 200k, so I'm not necessarily afraid of high miles in the right situation. I've been trying to decide here whether it makes sense to get an...

I stopped at my local Toyota dealership in Southern NV to see about their LC list procedure. $500 refundable deposit to get on the list, but they would make no guarantees about how much they'd charge when it arrived. Waiting a potentially long time only to then be under pressure to agree to...

Thanks! I tend to keep my vehicles a long time (my current daily driver has 197k), but I'm not sure if I'd own this one very long term. I'm interested as theyvseem a good value right now and I want something that can serve as a bridge between old school internal combustion and the next gen of...

I'm very intrigued by the idea of picking up a Y62 based vehicle and using it as my adventure vehicle in the desert Southwest. Depreciation seems to have hit these trucks hard and there are a lot of trucks out there that seem to have never been driven off pavement. What's the upper limit of...

It's nice that MSRP is returning. Still not here in Southern Nevada for most reasonably desired models. I think that's the first time I've seen a calculator default to payments "Every Two Weeks" though. Guess stretching things out to increasing number of years wasn't getting it done anymore in...

I actually was talking about this to my wife the other day. It just blows the mind at a time when outdoor/offroad prowess seems to be prime capital for vehicle brands, Nissan just totally ignores the Armada. They gussy up the Pathfinder. I walk by a Pathfinder Rock Creek every day. Their...
