According to my Nissan guy, it was a good thing.

He said that the regs that are imposed on manufacturers makes for issues on top of issues. Nissan wanted to make these trucks before they could be implemented and therefore keep a better truck on the salesfloor.

Whether or not it's better, is another story.

But you have to ask your mechanic of any brand this question:

Why, after over 100 years of car-manufacturing, are there still problems with; say a transmission.

You'd think that they would have cracked the code by 2000.....found a good transmission for each body style and stuck with it, right?

However, the problem is that NTSB/NHTSA and even the EPA create silly and frivolous protocols for car/truck makers to follow. It changes, every year, but it's the government that creates these issues.

I have had my Nissan Hardbody for 20 years and it had 4 miles on it when I drove it off the lot in Monroe. Never had one issue with it and I have 225,000 miles on it. Nissan went cheap in the late 90s and I see they still are. That thing looks awful.
