You must be thinking of mazda. Not nissan.
No, I know about the Mazda, but they are half owned by Ford.
The Nissan trucks are also Ford, but they have restyled fenders to keep their identity, and Ford quit making a minivan a long time ago, and took advantage of their relationship with Nissan.
The nissan deal actually resulted in numerous improvements to the half-ton Ford pickups too. Ford had to cave in to Nissan on a number of issues, including engine size.
