Would have preferred side bags but wasn't enough to throw the deal for me. I never found a single used '08 with the side bag option (obviously because most were rentals). If I was hauling the kids around much in this I would have held out, but 90% of the time it's just me. With my daily commute, odd...

I'm not sure on the tranny cooler issue. I've been reading about it but so far haven't confirmed if the '08+ work the same way. Doesn't look to be a big deal either way. I'm sure they CAN go 130k miles without major problems....pretty much anything can do that these days. Some folks say Dodge is hor...

I just bought my '08 in late December and did a lot of shopping around. I did my best to avoid rentals because I'm just not a fan. They were cheaper though so you can weigh the pros and cons there. One con for me was the rentals usually had no extra options (most were S models anyway). I landed on a...

Yeah, I had read your post before and decided to skp on them as well. I bought a 4-piece set at Sam's Club for about $25 that actually fit very well and match perfectly (tan interior). If they wear out premature, no biggie. I'm just stuck without anything in the cargo area at the moment and don't wa...

I've been looking around at these as well. I prefer the soft rubber anyway as it helps keep things from sliding around. The OEM floor is horrible in my book. I'd prefer carpet even over the slippery plastic. I like this two-piece a lot better especially if it's a soft rubber.

Does anyone know if this was updated or "fixed" for 2008? I know there seems to be a lot of small updates/fixes but I'm not overly educated on this problem to begin with.

Run what the door states (35) for normal driving. I would say normally 700# would not required an increase however if driving long distance in hot conditions I might bump it up a bit just to be safe. Was the 40psi you stated hot or cold? It's possible they were at 35 cold and then after driving were...

I like the look. Not as eay to recongnize on a black one, but still a nice tough. I've considered that plus the mudguards on mine (red). I have painted this type of material before. My wife's Ody is Silver and it looks terrible with the black mud guards. I had them painted to match and if you use a ...

Books says to drive for a few miles and the light will go out. Mine has randomly come on...usually seems to be when pulling in/out of a steep drive and it stays on until I restart and drive a few miles. Weird.

My '08 has it as well. How far down are you closing it? I swing the door down until it just touches the latch and then it pulls it in the rest of the way.

I don't think they make a system that doesn't require you insert key before driving off. I don't know about Nissan, but Acura, and probably Lexus and Infiniti, use a system that only requires you to have a key in your posession. As you approach the car, It'll unlock the doors and arm the push-butto...

I have to put the key in the ignition and turn it to run before shifting. What's the point of the remote start if you still have to use the key to drive the thing? On second thought, I s'pose it's useful if you want to warm the cabin in cold weather without actually getting in to do a "key-sta...

This is the one that's on mine. http://www.caralarm.com/MyCart/ProductDetails/2833/RS-320-EDP.aspx The factory security seems to work fine with it. Range is great and seems to have a lot of adjustment features that I haven't figured out. I have to put the key in the ignition and turn it to run befor...

...on my Tundra the fuel burn (actual gallons/hour) was better to downshift while pulling some steep hills as opposed to lugging up them in OD. Skinny, I am using the scangauge to get the instantaneous mpg readings but I never used the burn rate. Is the gal/hr really accurate enough to be useful? I...

It's certainly possible. Lugging the engine can burn more fuel. I haven't connected my Scanguage to the Pathy yet, but on my Tundra the fuel burn (actual gallons/hour) was better to downshift while pulling some steep hills as opposed to lugging up them in OD. The mpg meter in the Pathy isn't the mos...
