I work for Nissan manufacturing. The new Frontier coming out is sick. I was in a meeting and viewed the upcoming models. Really good technology, 300+ HP, very cool.
Welcome to Aero Dynamics and Pedestrian Safety requirements....Is it still a truck? I can't stand that most new mid-size trucks look like a flaccid crossover mini-suv. I'm pretty loyal to the Frontier, but if it comes out as a bubbly nerd wagon with no manual transmission, I don't know what I'll drive next.

1 caveat for this data is that a large chunk of these sales are likely due to excellent incentives.The dealers are dealing on pickups NOW guys, make your deals on your truck of choice. The programs on trucks won't get better if they are hitting their numbers NOW.
Data from J.D. Power shows that 24,500 pickups were sold in the U.S. last week, which is just one percent below pre-pandemic forecasts, while overall sales were down 38 percent. However, the big three Detroit automakers report sales quarterly, so the next round of official figures won’t be released until July.
Pickup truck sales are almost back to normal, report says

Take away the incentives, and it might be a completely different story. Additionally, how many of these sales are with leftover 2019/2018 model year end close outs?
I would also not be surprised if Ford is way off on those numbers even if Ram and GM are near normal with the current discounts. I was not looking at Ram but their trucks plus discounts plus financing make them worth a look. With Ford it’s why bother.When you are hemorrhaging billions of dollars, with Q2 definitely going to be worse, "normal" and hitting your numbers ain't good enough anymore.
And as you say, if I’m saying this as a Ford homer what will that say about most buyers? Answer, is lost sales!
Even DBK is lost for words...Lol, all in good fun!
The latest scratch you head moment out of Ford was the recent announcement by Billy Ford in naming his daughter to the BoD's at Rivian. She has like 3 yrs of experience doing some ambiguous, B.S. corporate role at Dearborn. Now a director??????Seems like a smart decision
WTF is going on over at the Blue Oval? Even the lifelong loyalist should be very concerned. Complete shit show.

SoooWithout giving to much away, it is a blend of the Titan with the current frontier. Titan-esque headlights and grill. Interior is excellent. It is still very much a truck. Also the new Titan coming out is alot better. Getting rid of the current transmission for a much improved 9 speed. Better technology, better suspension, etc.

Also you can only get the 800 ft/lb Cummins with the Dodge trans in the 2500. You have to step up to the 3500 to get the good stuff.
