It would be impossible to address all the subjective issues that you and others may have.Hello All,
I recently sold my Outback and looking at getting a Ranger or Frontier. Obviously I'm on a forum that supports the Ranger however, I really want to know the good and bad from people who drive them daily.
I've driven a Tremor and I liked it however in spending countless hours researching I hearing a number of common "issues" like funny transmission behavior and squeaky interiors due to quality control.
What your true experiences please?
PS, I am asking the same on Nissan forums as well. Just trying to make the best choice in this crazy "no deals" environment.
PSS, I tried the Tacoma since I had a 2006 and loved it. It sucked as far as seating position and ride. I'm 6'3" and I felt like I was on the ceiling... Not a fan of the Colorado based on looks.
Thanks!
Subjectively...
I find the the Ranger to be the most comfortable, the most capable and the most satisfying truck I have had the pleasure to drive. It instills great confidence in its driveability and reliability in all conditions, and does so without question or even a nervous moment.
So much for the subjective.
Now for the Objective...
My Ranger was delivered as designed without any flaws which required dealer attention.
It is now approaching three years in daily service.
It has never once failed to perform as designed or required any unscheduled attention.
It starts every time at the touch of the key and performs as new with each use.
It delivers the power as promised along with the fuel efficiency as promised, with absolute consistency.
There has been no visible wear on any part of this truck,physically or cosmetically.
It handles towing and hauling chores absolutely as promised.
I have not needed to add fluids of any kind between scheduled service.
Not a drop of oil, not a drop of coolant, not even air in the tires.
In fact even the windshield washer fluid has adequate capacity to last between servicing.
I have made two annual trips to Florida with my travel trailer without opening the hood on either round trip.
The truck has never even threatened to make me walk.
Back to subjective...
While nothing built by the hands of man has met every standard of perfection, this is the best you are likely to find on this planet at this time.
Yes, I have been accused of being a "Fanboy" but I won't respond to such epithets by fabricating non-existent flaws.
