Nissans are great vehicles. My old lady has an 06 Xterra, and It's great. With a better set of tires is goes good offroad, is a comfy ride, and hauls a pretty good sized load behind it...
As far as the Mexico car manufacturing goes, I do know that the 302 blocks that ford had produced in the Mexico plant are stronger than the ones produced in the states (except for '69 and '70 model blocks, those are the most saught after years thanks to denser metals in the block and 4bolt mains.) So maybe Suzuki will get lucky and these trucks will come out well too.
