Leaf or coils? Not much goes wrong with them except spring towers pulling away from the chassis at the rear if they have been overloaded with heavier coils. The leaf models are bomb proof, but do not ride as nice or have as supple a suspension travel. Depends on your intended load. In my opinion, the wheel base is too short(it's the same as the wagon), and so it is very easy to get too much overhang rear of the rear wheels which makes them porpoise along secondary roads.

Joel,

There is only one thing to keep in mind regardles of model.

Between the years 2000 and 2001 the gear manufacturer for the gearboxes stuffed up some spline tolerances which results in 5th gear failures, make sure that the vehicle you get (if it falls within these years) has had the gearbox fixed by Nissan.
You can otherwise get the VIN number and email it to Nissan and they will tell you if it falls within those faulty ones.
