Vehicle Overview

Nissan has the longest history in the U.S. among import automakers selling compact and midsize pickup trucks. 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of Nissan's arrival in the U.S. with its Datsun 1000 garden truck in 1959.

Towing and payload are comparable to the Toyota Tacoma, the segment's best-seller.
