Nissan Full-size

miclri · January 2, 2003

I just read that Nissan will reveal a full sized pickup truck at the Detroit show. Has anyone seen this truck?

I came across this article. Maybe this is old news.

I hope it looks a lot better than that concept they showed like a year or two ago...that thing was ugly.

Yeah, I have seen some concept pics somewhere too and they looked pretty bad.

Here is a pic of the new Nissan.

Thanks for the pics. It looks good to me, maybe a bit over-styled. I wonder how it will fare in the marketplace... I won't be trading in my '03 Sierra for at least another ten years.

It's not bad looking. Seems like the front end looks alot like the 2004 F150.

It's hard to tell from Paco's photos how big it is though. The body ground clearance looks good. The dashboard/center console looks like it belongs in a luxury SUV rather than a pickup.

I'll be anxious to go look at one in person when they hit the lots. Anybody know the engine specs, tow ratings etc?

I agree. It does look far better than the concept. It will be the size of an F-150. 2 V8s will be offered. The first is a 4.5L V8 producing around 300 HP. The other one will be a 5.6L. I don't have any HP/TQ numbers for the 5.6, but judging from the 4.5 it should be a powerful motor.
