Chevy FTW!

I own an 04 dodge. If I were buying today, I'd look at the F-150 and the Silverado as my primary choices. I was never a fan of the Titan or the Tundra.

I haven't driven the new F-150 but I love the 09 silverado.

I owned a 04 Extended Cab Titan with every available option (save Sun Roof) and the Extended Warranty for 4 years and 6 months. It was nightmare from start to finish. When the truck was operational it had a great ride and plenty of power. System Failures began the first week. With major issues occurring roughly once every 6 months. Now Since I had purchased the first year of a new model expected that there would be bugs to work out. What shocked me at first and turned into such a pattern that it turned to rage, is the absolute disdain that Nissan has for the customer after the sale. (if you would like details email me) I was forced to fight every time there was an issue to get them to honor their warranty. As a result I will never by a another New Nissan Product including their infinity line and anyone considering a Nissan truck should read the Titan forum and you are like to see a pattern of abuse by the company for your self

Sounds like typical Japanese when it comes to warranty.

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.

Doesn't sound like any warranty experience I've had, and I've actually OWNED Japanese made vehicles.

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

I've had warranty work done on my Nissan Frontier and they were great about it, no problems at all. Maybe you have a shitty dealership nh?

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

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

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...
