Kind of how I feel. I've owned and heavily used a '78 K10, '97 Dakota, '98 Ford, and now am using an '82 Ford. Yeah, this is DEFINITELY an apples/oranges, but I like older vehicles. I can say that between my dad and his they've done heavy hauling (for 1/2 ton) and farm work, building, etc, with a '96 F150, '95 F150, 2007 F150, and 2013 Ecoboost. (Actually I forget most of granpa's aside from his '95 Eddie Bauer.) That being said they've also had a GM apiece and never really spoke ill of them, just preferred the Fords overall for performance, appearance, comfort, etc. Hell, my brothers Titan took me over some SKETCHY mountain roads on a hunting trip and he's even hauled with it. I still prefer Fords but can't truly speak ill of the Nissan's.
Yup.
