I agree with your questioning of how Nissan sells any trucks. I have purchased two brand new Toyota trucks in my adult life. A 2000 Tacoma 4x4, and a 2017 4 Runner. When shopping for both of those vehicles, i also looked at the Nissan equivalent of those models. Totally NOT interested in the Nissan trucks and suvs.
My Toyota 4x4s have been flawless for how i use them - which is daily driver type use.

For heavy truck duty, I have a 2004 1 ton Cummins Dodge. Can't replace a sledge hammer with a jewelers hammer!
