I was looking for a small, reliable pickup truck. I did a great deal of research looking at Ford (no small trucks other than an F150), Toyota and Nissan. For me, it came down to the Toyota or Nissan. I ultimately went with the Nissan due to price and financing offer. Overall, I really love the truck. It has great pickup and is very comfortable. The 4x4 is really good, and the truck requires little maintenance. While I don't put a great deal of miles on the truck, I have not had to perform much maintenance. It is also very good on gas mileage. My only complaint would be that of the electronics. While the truck is not the high end, it isn't the cheapest either. I would really like to see much better electronics. For example, automatic headlights and a better sound system. It has a backup camera which is nice, but could be much clearer in picture. I also think it would be much nicer with a better keyless entry and not requiring the key to be insert in the ignition to start.
