in 2000 I bought a Nissan frontier. simple vehicle - a truck through and through - no stability control, manual transfer case, 5-speed transmission, simple. put 300k kms on it before it finally gave up the ghost. drove it to a Nissan dealer and traded it in on a 2011 version of the same truck. stability control, electric transfer case, electric locking rear differential, hill descent control, no manual transmission available. nothing but problems. had the rear diff replaced once for electrical problems, wheel speed sensors acting up, transmission shifts very poorly when cold (and often cold). the moral? the more complicated it is the more likely it will break. instead, purpose build and keep it simple.
