Car and Driver 4-Door Comparison

So how much advertising does Nissan pay Car and Driver for? Here's an article comparing four-door trucks (Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan and Toyota).

They gave the Titan first place, and the F-150 second.

they are probably punishing Ford for not letting them take the GT home for the weekend.

Also, notice they only tested the screws. So the bonuses, like ford having 47 variations, are not taken into account. They also said the titan was faster. How do we know that a standard cab f150 isn't faster? Anyway I wouldnt trade my f150 for the titan no matter what they said. I am very open minded, in my ten years driving I have had: ford escort, chevy celebrity, ford ltd II, Isuzu pick-up, nissan maxima, chevy tahoe, buick regal, pontiac grand am, jeep j10 pickup, 04 F150. I will but anything as long as I like it regardless of brand or rating. But, Damn that Titan is ugly. Honestly it is not the ugliest vehicle on the road. In my opinion the Pathfinder Armada, is without a doubt worse. I don't like the way the rear doors arch back at the top.
Just my .02

I don't understand why people take it so personal as to what a magazine says. So are we saying that the magazines that put the Ford on top are also getting paid?????? If the 1 author and a couple of test driver's feel that one vehicle is better, then so be it. If you feel what you bought is the best that is what matters.

Hey FX4Triton,

How do you set up your salutation on this site so you can have a little picture of your truck appear every time?
