41297546 Posted December 4 2012 08:00 PM by Truck Trend

 We don't do second place in any of our signature "of the Year" programs, but last year the Nissan NV work van lost by a single vote to the winning Ford F-150. We loved the NV's honest, utilitarian nature. For 2013, the NV...

44088531 Posted October 7 2012 06:00 PM by Truck Trend

 The all-new Infiniti JX slots nicely into a small hole in the brand's lineup between the smaller, sportier FX and the massive QX. With three-row seating like the QX's, but easier entry and egress and better fuel economy,...

39550749 Posted December 8 2011 04:34 PM by Truck Trend

39550716 Posted December 7 2011 04:20 PM by Truck Trend

 If there's one thing full-size vans aren't is fast. They're back-to-basic heavy haulers. Surprisingly though, the high-roof Nissan NV we had for our Truck of the Year testing felt pretty darn fast. The numbers tell a...
