We are continuing our look a the top trucks of 2011 with the Nissan Frontier. The Nissan Frontier is a full size truck that comes in five different trims. All of them designed for the no nonsense working man. They Each body style has a variety of options that mean business.

The five trims are S, SV 4Cylinder, SV 6 Cylinder, Pro 4X, and the SL. The S comes with a either king or crew cab. The king cab comes with a 2.5 liter engine while the crew cab bumps that engine size up to 4.0. The difference in the SV4 and the SV6 is the engine size while the SV6 offers a long bed for hauling. Pro 4X is just a beefed up version of the SV6. Finally, the SL has a crew cab with roof rack and style.

For the past several weeks we have been looking at different pickup trucks, in Auto Recon. This week we are looking at the Nissan Titan.

When I read the review from U.S. News and World Report, I set up with some real interest in getting this pickup truck. US News ranked the Titan equal to any US made pickup truck.

The Nissan Titan hit American roads in 2004. It was the first Japanese pickup to truly possess the attributes that buyers typically expect from a full-size American trucks.

The Titan comes in two cab sizes and two bed lengths. The King Cab offers a 6.5 ft or 8 ft bed. The crew cab beds are the 5.5 ft or 7 ft, to make up for the larger cab.

March seems to be truck month. Driving by local dealership, I see Ford and Chevy, both really pushing the sale of their truck. Since I did Auto Recon on the Ford, Dodge, and Chevy trucks. I thought it only fitting to recon on the Toyota Tacoma.

At first I wanted to stay away from Toyota because of the recent scandal around the recalls. After doing my recon, I am glad I did today’s recon.

The Chevy Truck along with the Ford, and Dodge have been around as long as  there has been trucks on roads in the United States.

Older Chevy Silverado 1500′s have had the reputation as a strong sound truck that lacked in style. The newer editions has definitely change in the area of style and comfort.  Grained upholstery, and softer materials new make is a more enjoyable ride for taking the ranchers daughter on a date. However, the half-ton Chevrolet Silverado remains a solid reputation and performance no matter what the intended use.

When I think of a tuff truck one of the first image that pops into my mind is the ram’s head from Dodge. I am talking about the Dodge Ram Truck. My question, today, does the Dodge truck hold up to the reputation of its’ logo, the ram’s head.

Dodge produced trucks since 1917. In 1981 model year was when the Ram first made its’ appearance as a hard working truck. The 21st century has seen the modern day Dodge Ram truck go through some interesting changes.

Edmund’s.com list all the changes the Dodge Ram 1500 has gone through in the past 8 years. After reading the reviews from U.S.News and World Report, I was impressed with hauling and towing package.

The Ford F-150 is one of those trucks that have been around for years. It is designed for hauling anything for camping gear to a to that dresser just bought at a yard sale. Heavier hauling jobs are for the beefier F-350 or as it is better known as the Super Duty.

About.com gives us a brief view of Ford truck’s almost 100 year history. In those 100 years we have seen quite an evolution. Today’s trucks are more powerful, more rugged, and a more comfortable ride.
