Most of the design bugs were worked out in the 2012 year model. This truck is unchanged since the mid 2000's and looking to be unchanged thru the 2018 year model. Thats a long production run from a Car maker with a known reliability reputation. (despite what you might read here I'll stack a Nissan against any Toyota Honda or American vehicle any day of the year)
You'll want to change the headlights if your off roading....You'll want an extension for the center console cover... You'll want to check the battery lugs for corrosion every oil change until you replace the battery (vents near the positive lug) and I'm putting a mesh cover over the front grill lower opening to keep rocks and such out of the radiator.
Other then that, they are about 8 grand cheaper then a similar Taco , have a peppier engine then the GM midsized (can you say "SLUG with electrical problems") and parts are almost as easy to find as small block Chevy parts IMHO.I've found everything I've looked for first try.
Dealers are hit and miss. I hit on my purchase, others not so much.
Jump in, the water is FINE!
