Im not sure why many of you think its a downgrade, Its a difference of seats and 2 consoles , this 07 has all the features that the 03 had minus leather seats..

The 07 drives alot better, rides alot smoother, looks newer and its quiter cruising down the highway (road noise)

6500 is pretty low for a 03 KR. And 16500 is kinda high for a 5 year old truck with 60k on it.

It was getting close to 145,000 miles and all the traveling we have started to do that mileage was going to go up pretty quickly.. Didnt want to have to worry about transmission, engine problems, front end problems etc..

I drove up to this Nissan dealership and found my 07 with 60k miles, after doing some numbers they ended up offering me a very good trade in amount
(6,500) and walked out the door with the new truck for 10k.

Im going to miss the old girl, she was a good one..
i hear ya on that! im not hating on the new truck, i just liked the old one better

Personally, I like the new truck better. Maybe I'm partial to this generation? Who knows.

Either way, seems like you got a good deal and a much newer truck. Congrats! See you in the 2004-2008 forums.

Some of you give him sh*t like he bought a Chevy or something. It's still an F150!

Better looking generation with a better equipment package for an uglier generation with less equipment = downgrade in my book.

I cant stand how small the front doors are and how large the rear doors are on the 11th gen SCrews. The A-pillars are way too close to the B-pillars. Its out of proportions. I'm glad they fixed this in the 12th gens.

I think the exact opposite - 1st gen Screw is butt ugly and 2nd gen Screw looks good. However, it's sad to see such a nice KR go from the forum.
