[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 5393880, member: 718"] Then you tell me what differences there are with both the manual and automatic transmissions and engines depending on which badge is on the snout. There is a difference as far as engines go and that it the plastic engine covers fitted. One has Nissan and the other Mercedes printed and stamped on it. Fact is, there is none. Zilch. Zero. I haven't even seen this claimed by anyone but you and you heard it from a salesman at your local dealership. I am surprised that you are so naive about this. Or at least you pretend to be. You protesteth too much. You really really want there to be a difference and want to convince others that it is 're-engineered' when it is patently obvious that Mercedes' 're-engineering' means mostly minor cosmetic differences. The only major mechanical difference in the four cylinder models is that the Mercedes has disk brakes fitted to the rear and Nissan has drums. I pointed this out at the beginning and yet cannot think of any advantage for even that difference. It is just a difference which is of zero consequence to the owner of the truck. The chassis is not reinforced or re-engineered. It is slightly different to very early NP300 off the line, but so are later NP300 off the line. [/QUOTE]
