In the next 2 or 3 years I will be shopping for a replacement for my 1992 Chevy K1500 4X4 and it will be either a Nissan Titan or a Ford F-150 Super Cab 4X4. Subaru doesn’t make a pick-up.

I love Nissans. I do. But I would not advise buying a Titan. It’s the same truck they built 12 years ago. They have freshened up a few things, but it is basically no different than the 2004 models. It’s never been restyled. A few years ago, Nissan was even thinking of just discontinuing the Titan and rebadging Dodge (gasp!) trucks as Nissans. Hoo Boy.

They only keep making Titans and they are the base for the more popular Armada SUV and Infiniti SUV. Not a real good reason to buy unless the discounts are at least 12K off of sticker as some currently are.

Now the Ford F150? (drool) I urgently want one. I tow a travel trailer. And I want (need) an F150 with the ecoboost engine.

Yowsa. What a truck.

Niteowl77 and myself both drive Subarus because they are good AWD "bangs for the buck" in a hilly area having about 5 months of unpredictable Winter weather. We are the antithesis of the "stereotypical" SUB owner, and in this particular neck of the woods, one is far more likely to see leftist/LGBT/greenie stickers on a Toyota than anything else.

(The only self-promoting wiccan in evidence here drives a Ford... go figure.)

I actually like the CVT in my Impreza, but then again I don't demand anything but ease of use and mild manners out of my work-and-back car. The thing gets great mileage in the Summer, but the numbers drop like a rock when low temps and winter blend gasoline are in play.

“...it will be either a Nissan Titan or a Ford F-150 Super Cab 4X4.”

Why not put Toyota into the mix, as well?

They make some _very_ nice pickups, although I don’t have one.

I bought a 2005 RAV4 new, have put 148,000 miles on it, and it’s never needed anything other than routine maintenance parts — brakes, fluids, etc. (doesn’t include a new rear door from the lady in a red Mercedes that ran into mem but that didn’t break on its own)...
