I had an 05 CC LE......

It was transportation.........couldn't wait to get rid of it and go back to full size....


the motor was strong and could tow well with the 4.0 but I couldn't get past the ride... it felt like driving a gocart...the brakes howled constantly, and every time I took it to the dealer they said that it was normal.... found out after I traded it, that nissan recalled them. the bed is also way to short to do anything with even with the extender tube, and they don't offer a longer bed in the crew cab.

they said it got 20mpg on the sticker, but realistic driving showed about 15 to 16 around town.

I get that on my gmc 6.0....

for me, there are to many options in the full size that will do so much more for about the same money.... MY .02

They're not the end of the world, but I've driven both and would much rather be in a Tacoma....V6 with TRD package, auto, double cab. That said, the Nissan is probably 2/3's the price if you're looking used
