After seeing some vids online of how wimpy chevy's 'tough : trucks' are and how easily they break because idiots try and do the things : they see in commercials (like taking a H2 offroading...) I won't even look : at anything GM built.
GM = Generally Mediocre

Rangers and Hummers seldom are seen offroad
: : Personal thoughts on Nissan: test drove an Xterra, was VERY unpleased with : the quality of fit and finish. Visible unfinished edges on carpeting, and it : was improperly joined together under the seats instead of cutting a single : piece of carpet to fit, squeaks and rattles everywhere, cheap-ass looking : side cladding to make it look beefy (all those plastic trim bits for water : to pool in and cause corrosion... I just was NOT impressed, being spoiled on : Toyota already. I have heard nothing but dismay from any family or friends : who have newer Nissans. :
Well you failed to mention the outstanding layout of the gauges. They are in some type of tunnel that makes them harder than hell to read in the daylight. The Xterra, like the "Frontier" (something that truck will never see) come with Nissan's legendary solid front axle. Now don't everyone drop their panties; by "solid" I mean the SOB doesn't flex at all. It's rigid. Try going over an uneven surface and those wheels will be breaking loose and screaming all the way through
