Frontier CC expedition worthy???

[articulate]

Not sure if this feature will ever come into use, but I really like it.

Let me show you how that cool feature will come into use . . .

Dang it! No fair! My seats don't double over like that. Sure wish they did though.

This sounds cheesy but every time I drive it I fall in love a little more!

Congrats! I know how you feel. That's what I went through when we bought our 2006 Xterra. I still love that truck every time I get to drive it. Yes my wife uses it as her daily driver while I am relegated to the 2003 Tacoma so it is still a treat when I take out the Nissan. The combination of the 6 speed MT and the V40 motor is awesome. I love taking it up I-70 into the mountains. It just plows ahead passing most other vehicles with ease. The low gearing is also nice. The other day we were coming down from the Grays Peak Trail Head in 4 low just creeping along and my wife could not understand why the Honda Pilot in front of use was riding the brakes the whole way. It gave me a chance to explain things to her. She also let out a "Holy crap!" when the Honda did a 2 foot wheel stand in one gully. I told her that would not happen to us so don't worry. I also love how Nissan made the front dash/interior identical between the Xterra and Frontier. I've often thought of trading in my Tacoma for one but I just paid it off and it is set up about as perfect as can be for what we use it for. Have fun with the new truck!

Now imagine that gearing coupled to a higher compression diesel engine. That's called a Navara.

Not to nit-pick, but diesels are always higher compression than gasoline engines. That is how they work.

Navara would be cool, too bad you can't get em in the US. Probably doesn't conform to our crash standards and emissions standards.

The new Tacoma's have that fold down passenger seat too It's a feature you will find a use for eventually.

Have fun with your new Frontier. You will love it.

...

Ya, by a factor of 1.7 between the gasoline engine in the Frontier and the diesel engine in the Navara. You can find some consolation in that no NISMO Navara is offered.

The bed is so useful! I like the extruded aluminum rails, and the sturdy aluminum tie down points.

There are so many uses for the utili-track.

I thought this was a great ideal.
