My father in law has spent some big money at the Nissan dealer. For now he doesn't plan on buying another Nissan.

I would like to have something like this in Ford/Chev/GMC, 4x4 and diesel.

I'm very anxious to test drive the Titan. Beacuse, to be honest, I'm really only looking at domestic trucks. The imports are so new to the full size truck biz when compared to the domestics, and that worries me.

Would most likely go with the Ford or Chevy.

If you don't like the new 2009 F150.... 2 of my buddies just bought leftover 2008 150's. One bought a two door basic ass truck, the other got the fully loaded four door. Drove both, and loved both of them. The 2009 interior is much better than the 2008 though.

I want to test drive the new Silverado. I think it looks better than the Ford. Interior isn't as nice as the new F150.

At least they'll be around in a couple years to warranty their stuff.

They fix stuff that is broke, but when it comes to tire flats, stuff out of warranty, scratches on interior components the Japs won't cover it, but GM always did for me. You give alittle to a customer out of the normal flow and you will earn him back for the next go around. Pretty smart IMO...

FORD.

I'm a chevy guy, that hurts to say.

Where's that link to the shootout at Ford's testing grounds? They embrarrassed the shit outta the competition, for my money.

Definitely, I'm a huge fan of customer service and gladly spend my money where I know I'll be taken care of. Even if it costs more for the same thing.

All my vehicles have been GM. GM has never left me stranded and everything warrantied was always paid. Even a part out of warranty by 6 months was covered.

By far my best experience to date has been Hyundai but saddly they dont make a pick up

I test drove an 07 F150 with a V-6 and 5speed manual. I loved that truck with the manual...shifted very smooth.
