Nissan’s NEW $20,000 TRUCK Has Ford & Toyota In Panic Mode!

Thanks to Manscaped for sponsoring today’s video! Get 20% Off + Free Shipping with promo code “MOTORFEED” at manscaped.com/motorfeed! Nissan revealed a new cheap truck that can beat Ford Maverick, Toyota Stout, Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, Chevy Colorado and all other trucks. The Nissan Frontier is also a big deal. A Small pickup truck war is starting and Nissan is about to throw their hat in the ring with an awesome new cheap pickup truck. Over the past few years full size trucks have been getting bigger, fancier and more expensive but In 2023 sales of the overpriced trucks has slowed to a crawl and manufacturers are trying to figure out what to do next. Ford was first to the small truck game by releasing the Maverick, Rumors of a new Toyota Stout have been taking over the internet, and Nissan recently revealed that they are thinking about bringing back the classic hardbody pickup truck with a new and more modern version.
And it might even start at a shockingly low price of just $20,000!

And the small truck market, event with the proposed Ridgeline, will still rob you of 49,550$CAN for the Sport trim. 58,550$ for the BlackEdition. Chipping 34,795$CAN for a Maverick XL makes more sense. If you can get one...

The only thing he had to replace on it was tires and occasionally the oil, he regrets ever selling it.

@@mobilesolutions4u444 Well I bought my 2006 in 2021 for $10k. It had 1 owner and 120k miles. I used it for all my work stuff in the last couple years and also to move 250 miles away to another city. My truck runs great and it fits my whole family if I need to take them in it. The MSRP on my fully loaded max towing version was $42k. Now the base models are $40k basically. For me to buy a comparable model... its more like the XD since the regular Titan doesn't have a max towing model available.... So those start over $50k now. Since mine is a 2006 Crew Cab LE 4x4 Flex Fuel + Towing Package. I have the huge beefy rear end with dedicated oil & Trans coolers + Locker & Tow Mode. It is just too much to spend considering how often I use my truck. I figure I can get another 10 years out of the one I have, even though I really do like the new one.

My friend had a 04 titan and he loved it and the few times I borrowed it it made me want one he bought his with 185k and traded it in with 267k and had no issues at all in the 3 years he owned it

[@Jimster481]

​@@mobilesolutions4u444It's not about affording, it's about wasting money. Because my 2006 Titan runs completely fine and I only drive it between three and six thousand miles per year since I don't need a truck every day.

​@@mikedavis5207Ironically, everyone who has borrowed my Titan also really loves it. I always say how torquey it is and how nice it drives.

As someone that has the maverick hybrid, that’s the reason I ordered it and waited a year to get it HYBRID! I get 60mpg and I can pick up 1500lbs of payload as someone that had a Silverado , this truck is always what I dreamed of!

Ford quit selling the 2.3L 4 Banger and the V-6 RWD Ranger because it was "taking sales away from the F150." Yep they were selling only 90 to 100 thousand a year by 2011. But that was because Ford did not want to sell 4 banger sticks with just the basic list of options. Sometimes a 4 cylinder is all you need. I had a 7 passenger Envoy for the old lady's pleasure. But if I needed to pull a 6000 lb trailer the Envoy could do it. The Ranger had transmission problems pulling a empty trailer. I also did not have to adjust the seats in it. Stick shift. But she always pushed the remote button 1st when both of us were going somewhere in the Envoy. Yep the seat memory did not work well when she did that. Works fine. Now that the Envoy is out of style. They seem to not understand there are men that drive them. But then the women are raising up men with musical chair fathers now.

Nice video with good thoughts. But in the next year I hope to buy a new-version Toyota Tacoma with manual transmission. I might even be willing to get the base (very basic) trim level but would love to go back to a manual transmission which I have not had in a long time. Unfortunately the Tacoma and Gladiator are the only trucks available with manual.

Selling one full size luxury truck generates more profit than 3 or 4 small entry level combined. The decision to build large luxury is strategic, as more soccer moms and salary workers want them. As the segment and desire for more affordable entry level small trucks gets stronger, manufacturing companies will comply. People buy what is available more than what they state they want.

[@user-jn7ud7xo8p]

I agree 100 percent except for the whole changing the market thing ....they will just close a bunch of plants , only build a small number of real; expensive trucks and not care what so ever about the rest of us

​@@user-jn7ud7xo8p Companies care about staying in business and the best method is to provide a quality product/service at a price people are willing to pay. Remove quality or price outside demand and the economics degrade. Your solution of closing plants and providing products few want is only short term and generally driven by unions vs consumers. The build it and they will buy model does not work long term. Customers ultimately successful behavior. drive Think Edsel

I live in Toronto Ontario Canada and I remember back in February of 2009, my local Ford dealer (Yorkdale Ford) had a sale on the Ford ranger sport with extended cab, 3.0 V6 with automatic trans and 2 wheel drive. They had an ad in the Toronto sun newspaper for $12,288. I bought one in black for me and a white one for my father. A couple days later my brother went back to buy a black one as well. My father and I still have ours but its just crazy looking back and buying a new truck for under 20 grand.

[@chrismba777]

Good to remember that the extended cabs, vs the crew, usually have bigger beds, so that is something to consider. An extra 18inches length to the bed can make a BIG difference.

[@timsilva1944]

That's the sweet spot for me. Load a dirt bike and still close the tailgate. Extra cab size to store items you dont want to leave in back or for a dog. Even with a camper shell, you can close it all up and sleep in back. Not everyone is traveling with a family/crew. Plus a mid-size or smaller truck can get into places that a full size struggles to go.

[@ee222]

It’s not a truck if it isn’t body on frame construction. Even Tesla fuct up when they changed the cybertruck to a unibody construction. It lost all its payload and towing capacities. Which are what trucks are for. Don’t care that it’s bulletproof, don’t care that’ll do 60mph in 3.0 secs, cuz it can’t hold the weight of a snowblower in its bed….and all the shit in the bed will go flying trying to beat 1/4 mile records. If it can keep up with traffic on an interstate on ramp, fully loaded, it’s good enough for me.

Yeah I’ll say it also, the auto makers have totally lost the plot when it comes to Work trucks ,just a plain build for a work service truck without a service body on it is $50,000 plus then you got anywhere between 10 and 20,000 for a service body plus installation. It has definitely gotten out of hand with the prices.
