You almost convinced me to buy one even given the warnings I’ve been given by mechanics not to buy one , but it does tick quite a few boxes for my needs .

Why ?

Can you share why? I am a small contractor and was looking to buy the 2012 manual model. In the market it's the most controversial. Some say it's a beast in good ways. Some say it's a beast in consuming your pocket.

I remember seeing an old airfield with thousands of these pickups that nissan had bought back because of the chassis rusting from the inside out. Always liked them though 👍🏻

4wd on the road will destroy the drivetrain. It has no centre diff, so 4x4 is offroad only unless you are in the snow. Good truck though, I love mine.

Thinking about getting one, I read they have timing chain and fluid problems ? Do you still have yours and did you upgrade the weak points beforehand ? How much fuel diesel do you need by ridding mixed

@@ZoZooZoooZoxxxx yes still use it daily. Timing chains only tend to fail if the servicing is not done properly. Forget what Nissan say, change the oil every 10k or 12 months and it should be fine. Driven properly, you should get 30mpg around town and 36-40mpg on a run depending on cruising speed.

@@jim-bob-outdoors Great man thanks for advises and the reply, hear me out, I got some more XD Is there any other thing you would have had an eye on if you would buy another one right now?. Have you done any soft or Tuffer off-roading ?. Plan to go camping so no real crawling but yeah may there is to have an eye on, like I read that the front Intercooler is lower then the frame so a skit plate is smart.? Had to put 30mpg into a converter XD That’s fair for such a rig, u run regular tires or all terrains ? And sorry 4 bombing you with questions ;)
