Nissan's 2024 Patents - Passthrough, Modular Truck Bed, Is This Potentially The New Xterra?!

In today's episode of the podcast, I wanted to make something that's hopefully interesting for everyone, but especially my Nissan folks. Nissan applied for some patents in early January of 2024 for a passthrough from a truck cab into the truck bed as well as essentially a bed rack with removable top, sides, and rear panels.

I originally saw the article on this website if you want to check out the whole thing: https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/01/soft-top-with-a-pass-through-next-gen-nissan-frontier-patent-is-wild/

So, in today's episode, I'm going to talk about how Nissan has always been weird and quirky and come up with some pretty cool, unique ideas. I'll also talk about the patents themselves and show them to you and describe them for those listening to the podcast. Finally, I'll finish up with my thoughts on what these could actually mean and whether I think it's a good idea or not.
