Yep, very common.

Just think of how many wouldn't be able to join forums if the rules required you to know which to use when. :(

Might want to just touch the breaks there, Skippy...

They raised the rear so all of those Taco drivers can kiss it easier when getting passed. Not a flaw just a neener, neener from Ford!!! Now you’re just missing out on all of the fun!!! Hey man your loss!!

but its okay because she is cute!

thats like them stair lifts for old folks but for your bed lmao
Wow, she's really beautiful and looks so happy. I love her coat and face - looks like you two are a perfect pair.

There sure are times when I'd be happy to have a lift gate. Like renting a soil aerator, getting that toolbox last month, picking up a Billy Goat and snow thrower soon. Who am I kidding, I'd probably use it just to get in and out. Man, I'd be the envy at the dump!!! =D

I came over from a ‘02 F150 to the Ranger. I am only 5’9” but hasn’t been a real issue - the truck bed - not my height. I climb into the bed if I need to - or get my 14 year old to do it. I actually would have liked it if it has another inch or so taller bed sides. To
me a defect would be like what’s happening with the Toyota BZ4X where the wheels were falling off because of the hub bolts. Height of the box and the rake - not a defect - it’s personal satisfaction or not. Ford pintos gas tank issue - defect. Not having hood struts on the ranger - not a defect I have to lift it and use a prop rod (okay I actually don’t I do have struts but the prop rod still isn’t a. defect).
But to each their own. enjoy the new frontier. I have to admit I do like the looks of them but $ wise I feel I got more for my money with ranger (XLT Crew cab 4x4).

dont let it fool you she is a massive handful! heelers have so much damn energy and are so stubborn! which is odd from a breed that wants to please lol but ya tri coats (thats the color she is) are my fav coloring for heelers my last one had a full mask so her head was all black she is what i believe is called a half mask? i get it confused with the other term sometimes so it only covers her eyes. ya id like to think we are even thou some days i have to grab her and say yo chill tf out!

lmao ive seen people use those gates for all types of things and its pretty funny to watch them put a bike on it and slowly load it up lmao

Many companies "Photoshop" the products to make them appear more attractive . Back in the day it was airbrushing the negatives . Does your burger at the fast food chain look as meaty and delicious as the ads portray them ? How about that model in your favorite mens magazine ? If you notice , all auto manufactures ads as far back as I can remember "tint" the windows , including the windshield because it just makes the vehicle look more appealing . Hell , I'm still mad about buying that packet of Sea Monkeys when I was 10 years old . Duped again .

Mine was the X-ray glasses, I really thought I could see through walls, of course my dad warned me that it was a ploy to get you to spend your hard-earned paper route money. Well, I could NOT see-through walls.

good luck with the nissan. I have very few regrets in life and buying a frontier was 1 of them
OMG! Every new vehicle I have bought in my life has been a Ford or Mercury. Except 1... a freaking '06 Frontier NISMO. (Don't hate.. I wanted a mid-size. At that time had we had 2 options, Tacos or Frontiers. ) What a POS. Spent more money on repairs, not maintenance, REPAIRS on that truck than on all of the rest of my vehicles combined. Wow. Your post brought back memories of a nightmare.

As a Nissan guy myself I can say that the first few years of the D40 Frontier(2005-2021) had a bunch of issues. By 2012 I believe they had all the problems sorted out. I had a 2016 and i loved it. Only down side was it was a 2wd and I moved to the High Rockies of Colorado so it was only good for 5 months at best.
