Since my post was quoted I will defend it. Since my truck gets 29 miles to the gallon and in Wyoming we have the option of burining deisel with 25% recycled biofuel. What does your Nissan burn? 85 octane...what is that contributing to slowing the influx of greenhouse gasses? Imports such as 4 cylinder vehicles with mufflers the size of 5 gallon buckets and body kits. A deisel has so much more torque at lower RPM's than those cars and once the turbo is wound up the truck takes off.
A Nissan by the way would stand no chance at all in a Wyoming snow storm, or pulling a 6-place horse trailer up a highway with 5,000 feet of elevation gain. Can people even pull trailers with a Nissan or did the factory forget to glue the trailer hitch on the barbie mobiles? If a NIssan or any other small truck was ever in a real snow storm and got stuck, the driver would definitely have to thank the kind soul who pulls you out with their gas guzzling full-sized truck.
Face it, some people need full sized vehicles, and some people buy a "pick-up truck" because of an insecurity or the fact that they can't see over the steering wheel of a full-size truck.
If you want to keep debating the full size truck issue I can support it. Give it a try
