Maybe I'm kidding myself but I feel like even if I won the lottery I still wouldn't replace my -07 Nissan Pickup. I'd probably have the thing entirely rebuilt but it's basically my dream car as it is so other than customizing it even more there's nothing newer trucks have that I wish mine did too. The only downside to older vehicles is the increased need for maintenance though I'm much rather fixing a 15 year old truck today than 2023 truck in 2038.

04 Nissan Frontier over here. I specifically bought it because it has a manual transmission which is hard to find in the US. I drove all the way up to Seattle from Portland to get it. There are maintenance issues given its age, but I still love it. Apart from the bullshit bells and whistles, it's still every bit as capable as any new pickup in its class. I've doctored it up a bit over the years, so it's not fully stock anymore.

Yeah I ignored all the automatics aswell. Mine has a 6 speed manual, 4x4, low range and a rear diff lock.

They're called Navara here in Europe. I'm not sure how different it's from Frontier except that it has a 2.5 litre turbo diesel rather than petrol engine. I think it's a damn nice looking truck despite its age and with modifications it can be made to look even better. Mine is all murdered out.

Nice! Mine is a 3.2 liter V6 6 speed manual but w/o the turbo. It has a shitload of torque in 1st and 2nd, but isn't very fast or powerful once it's in third, 4th or 5th gear, which is fine with me.

It also has an extended bed and a canopy with flip-up windows on the sides. I've installed a roof-rack and have lifted the truck 2 inches together with aftermarket shocks and a new set of leaf springs. I've also installed "bullhorns" on the front together with "brush racks" to protect my old headlights.

All in all she's a pretty mean truck. I've taken her out with friends who are hardcore Jeep aficionados, and she's more than acquitted herself.
