Just a response to the Nissan engine post. Nissan engines are used almost exclusively in every truck because of a solid 30+ year reputation in the lift truck industry. They have beaten everyone, hands down, on reliability, serviceability and just about every other category you can think of. The best lift truck engine I have ever seen.

As far as John Deere in Crown. I think that is Crown's way of saying they are the only truck built 100% in the US with 100% US parts. What a great selling point, especially in these economic times. And, let's face it, JD makes a pretty good product themselves.
