It is July 2013 and I bought my car last month. It is the first Ford I have owned since 1982, when I traded in a '69 Galaxy for a '79 Horizon. Wish I still had the Galaxy! I grew up in a Ford family, had my diver's license since 1974 and driven a bunch of different cars but had primarily been a GM for the last 20 years. They're still doing nice stuff and I've driven some of it but this Ford stole my heart and I'm glad to be back in the fold. Both Ford and GM have had their political and social miscues the last few years but I think Ford's product speaks for itself and I'm glad I own one. see full Ford Taurus review |

I get it. This is an "old people's car" in the common mindset. see full Ford Taurus review |

NIssan has a history of drivetrains that last a long time. I do wish however that they would advertise this truck a lot more. If they would, they would sell a lot more. see full Nissan Titan review |

Nissan is a brand that builds cars that tend to be sporty and different. Nissan has never been the automaker to follow the crowd. They are trend setters and never scared to take a chance or being their own leader. see full Nissan Titan review |

After I purchased it I had found that the reliability for the Titan and others was far worse than comparable vehicles. see full Nissan Titan review |
