I think the grill is more ford like with the 3 big bars. But they definitely ripped off somebody.

So maybe they just ripped off everyone. All we're missing is a little Silverado in it.

Well, it IS a Frontier with a different grill, so I'll stick with it being a Nissan (allowed) rip off

This truck is no different than the Isuzu Hombre or the Mazda B-series.

The fender flares are the only similarity I can readily see.

Hardly a Dodge.

More Nissan with a Toyota grille.

I really like the Frontier, in my opinion, it's one of the best looking small trucks out there with the best drivetrain combination - a potent V6 with 5-speed manual.

The Nissan V6 comes with a 6 speed manual.
