I just bought an end of the year 04 2wd V6. I am just an old guy, but I have had a few 4x4s & lots of trail bikes and have a little automotive knowledge. I traded in my Ford Escape. There is no comparison in quality between it and Nissan. I am glad to have something with a Truck frame under me again, and I won't miss the poor CD4E Ford/Mazda automatic transmission that they still use in the Escape. I have owned 4 Nissan trucks and am happy to be back in a Nissan.. Hi to everyone.. Mojave..
