The REST of the story? (yeah, I got the reference :-) )

Love most things about this truck.
One-year average fuel economy 1s 14,7 l/100KM (16 MPG) in largely combined driving.

Interior is pretty amazing - looks and feels very high-end.
Audio is great. Heck, it's as big as a concert hall inside!
Storage space is more than adequate.
Ride is nice for a truck and seats are comfortable for long trips.
Engine and transmission have been awesome (not always the case for all owners, though). I have a gas engine.
The brakes are incredible - the only thing that out-stops it is my 2,450LB Alfa!
The looks are unique and I think very sharp.
All-around camera (birds-eye display) makes parking a snap for such a big truck (or, shall I say, berthing this aircraft carrier does not require a tug boat?). That's great, because sight lines from the driver's seat are very poor to the sides and rear. Even the front is difficult, but there is a front camera.

Despite crew cab/short box (fair weight over the rear axle), RWD is not great in ice/snow. But 4x4 is super.

There are driver aids, but no semi-autonomous features. SO happy about the latter.

Sounds amazing!

Niggling little issues are mainly design faux-pas, and some typical Nissan BS.
- Climate controlled seats have a known issue (they don't pass heat through when you sit on them) but the dealership refuses to acknowledge despite a Nissan service bulletin.
- The gear shift lever is enormous - and obscures some HVAC controls when in Drive. Why???
- I haven't been able to format music on a USB drive that will play properly.
- Rain-sensing wipers are rubbish. What was wrong with intermittent ones?
- The supplied mud guards must have come off the 370Z - they are tiny and useless. Easily fixed by swapping to aftermarket ones, but on a $50,000+ truck that shouldn't be needed.
- Parking sensors have a fit every time there is the slightest snow, ice, or road grime on them. WE'RE GOING TO DIE!!! Fortunately, there is an off switch.
- Sometimes the air conditioning says it is off, but condensation under the truck suggests otherwise. Not sure what that's all about.
- I wish it had a sunroof, but it's not available. Not a deal breaker as I will drive it more in winter up here anyway.

Final opinion: I don't intend to sell this truck for quite some time. My only regret is that I have to deal with a Nissan dealership for service (local one is not particularly helpful, and a fair hike from home).
