The new diesels are nice, but nissan missed the mark. Instead of providing a 3/4 ton diesel pickup with a size and capability of an early 90's model, at the early 90's pricetag compared to a half ton (a winning strategy IMO long term), they came up with crazy styling for what would be a very conservative customer base and put a semi-floating rear axle in that makes hauling a gooseneck with any weight on it impossible. It is a roided-up 5/8 ton truck running around in high heels. Put a damn fully-floating axle in it so you can put some tongue weight on the rear wheels, and make the styling more conservative, and it's a winner. They would have done better to make it look like an 80's truck than the futuristic BS.

The thing is that most people who have 3/4 ton trucks don't need them at all. The "5/8 ton" is the perfect intermediate IMO
