I had an 88 nissan back in the day but then switched over to toyota with an 92 and now i have a 03 tacoma. I will say i have been a toyota guy from the first day i drove my 92' It sounds to me if you would be willing to look into an other make go test drive a ext.cab or doublecab tacoma 4x4 get the v-6(supercharger if you have the money)with the TRD package(rear locker,blisten shocks,progressive front coils,fender flares) It is a great truck and if you want to ask any questions please PM me. If not then ihope someone gives you some info on a nissan. good luck
