Kevin, I believe Nissan is admitting that the large truck category is too competitive for them to compete. By offering a truck based on the Ram platform, they can still appeal to buyers who need a full size truck. Lots of contractors including plumbers, electricians, and service people need a larger truck no matter what the gas prices end up hitting.

Chrysler, on the other hand, needs some help. I see Chrysler eventually folded into the Renault-Nissan conglomerate, probably within the next year or so.

Ten years out, global consolidation will likely mean a dozen or so companies controlling most of the major brands.

So Chrysler will manufacture and supply large vehicles to both itself and Nissan, and Nissan will do the same with small vehicles. Wait a minute… isn’t the market trending toward smaller vehicles thanks to gas prices? In 10 years who will still be manufacturing, and who will be just a distributor? Some more on this disparity at:
