Wheeler Dealers is still my favorite car show on regular TV. Whether it’s Edd, Ant or Elvis, they still do a pretty good job of showing what is done and explaining how technical bits work and while Mike’s antics may be increasing silly and played up for TV drama, he still shows how to get bits and pieces refurbished, refinished and rebuilt or source used replacements.
I think the Titan (and Frontier) can be a good value, especially used, because everybody either forgets they exist or lumps them in with Nissan’s problematic vehicles.
They may not compete with the Big 3 on options and features and sheer variety of configurations but they’re basically solid trucks that will do basic truck stuff just fine.
The biggest problem is there just aren’t as many of them floating around the marketplace so finding one the way you want one configured isn’t as easy as with a F150, Silverado/Sierra or Ram.
A lot of the same applies to the Tundra but it benefits (deservedly) from Toyota’s sterling reputation (rusted out frames, notwithstanding) and is subject to the Toyota tax making it less of a bargain.
