Went to pick up my new(ish) tow vehicle, a 2007 Nissan 4wd Frontier
with 15,000 miles. After driving my old Nissan 4wd for 23 yrs, I
suppose I was not really prepared for modern tech. I got in, looked
around and declared angrily, "This thing isn't 4WD, where's the other
shift lever?". Salesman: "Uh, sir, new trucks have this switch here
to put it in 4H or 4L". Me: " A switch, thats all?". I really dont
know what to think of it, no shift lever to seem macho when its time
to climb up something. Am not really sure what to think of the auto
tranny either. After driving the old Nissan with 320,000 and the old
Dodge with an undertermined number of miles, ANYTHING else drives like
a car and it just doesnt FEEL TRUCKLIKE. Will just have to get used
to it. Maybe throw a buncha tools in the back to roll around and some
empty oil cans and it'll feel right.
