Hey Scotty! Since a lot of car companies have been throwing in turbocharged engines in most of their vehicles, there's obviously not that much of a selection of brand new vehicles that have a NA engine unfortunately. But one pickup truck I know of is the Nissan Frontier that has a new GDI 3.8L V6 with 310 horsepower connected to a 9 speed automatic. Luckily it's one truck that's out there brand new that would hold a naturally aspirated V6 engine unlike next year where Toyota will ditch their legendary V6 in their Tacoma to a turbocharged four banger that would occupy the junkyard within 100k miles or so! So I know one con that of course, Jatco does make horrible trannies but I don't know how their 9 speed automatic will hold up as it'll age and if it would be as wonky as their older 7 speed automatic transmission. But in all in all, what's your own thoughts on it? Will it be more dependable in the far future unlike most modern midsize pickup trucks that are being made right now?
Well, I'm not a Nissan fan but they're pickup trucks, especially that one generally hold up quite well. Might not be a bad idea to get one
This was recently discussed, also more on it if you do a search on our forum:

Haven't digged deep enough to see that question until now. I appreciate it 👍
