Hell .. there are dispensaries here that probably have those vehicles... Maybe buy some pot .. get a free 1/2 Day rental...Oh no! That's a bittersweet situation with your trees.
I do like the dump truck idea and would need to really long side steps!
For leaves ...
For leaves AND acorns! =D
This is a funny ad campaign run by Nissan, and its also decidedly incorrect.Yes better truck. You are correct. Just checked our their site. Seems most of the online truck reviews I watched, were decidedly anti-Nissan. I grabbed a couple of screen shots for the 5G members to check out.
6,720lbs to give the Frontier, best in class standard towing*. That is impressive compaired to Ranger. As the Frontier is the newest truck released, and had been in development for years, I'm not sure the 6G, while have had enough time to factor for this when it's released.
Hell, they don't even list the Ranger' spec on this.
Then there's torque. Again the Ranger missed the boat.
To be fair, some of their stanard safety systems are options on the Ranger; in the US, but standard in Canada. Really a well rounded superior truck. I'm sure you won't have buyers remorse this time, as this is clearly a better truck. Enjoy it for years to come.
You do you!

That might be Nissan mincing words. Ford states "standard towing" is 3500 using the bumper. I doubt the Frontier can tow 6000+ using just the bumper. Maybe Nissan includes the tow package as their "standard" ?
i just use the mower on my leavesYes and bah on leaves! Five truckloads so far and probably two more before it's all done. =(
By my calculations, a bed's not as big as one might think (at least as big as I thought).
I think the Scab bed is 51.8 cubic feet and that's almost 13 standard Lawn & Leaf bags (12.92 to be precise).
And continuing to drip fuel on the OP, here's a better look at the bed rake:
And I had just blown the bed clean, what a silly waste of time! And it's this messy even though I line it with a tarp! Albeit, the tarp is just the perfect size for pulling out all the leaves, it just a few inches wider than the bed and about two feet longer, so it's easy for leaves to get under it, especially as a tamp the leaves in with above-mentioned rake.
This is a 7'x9' tarp in 10 oz. canvas (finish size is smaller, but I haven't measured it - maybe more like 6'x8'?). I have some larger 18 oz. tarps for total bed coverage but they're too heavy and stiff to use as a way to roll the leaves out (thus the rope attached to one end). This helps keep the fine particles from turning into mud and grinding into the BedRug, which does blow out very clean.

Dave, aren't you concerned with the factory lugs swelling fro ice ??I bought one similar to that last year. Comes in very handy when you're vertically challenged.
The bed rug cleans up easily as it’s not carpet
Can you imagine the damper on that beauty?They do make one. Here's a sneak peak at Davids @subquark new order which should be ready in time for his spring dump runs. Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce you to "Soupie II"
Here we go.
The award winning zinger is locked and loaded.
Not sure if OP can recover from this but the internet is a brutal place.
TBH, he brought it upon himself by venturing onto a Ranger site to tell Ranger owners just how terrible Rangers are and they dumb, he smart because they have Rangers and he do not.
Ready?
He has a Frontier!!
I might get one of these. I climb and stand on the tire doing cleaning etc. Getting older it would suck to fall back and hit my head.....AGAIN!
Truck Nissan... They make bad unsafe cheap vehicles.. my experience.FWIW, the Nissan web page lists the maximum towing of up to 6720 lbs.
This is my favorite thing about this forum. Every mod/accessory idea has come from here. I’m 5’10” and struggle to reach things in the bed of my tremor. After seeing this I bought one from powerbuilt for $63. Problem solved and I bet a lot cheaper than selling and buying a truck.Not sure why this came up in my Facebook feed, but OP probably could have benefitted from one.
