2009 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab

Charlie Romero — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:47:47 +0000

The Toyota Tacoma has been – like most Toyotas – a steady, reliable vehicle that has built a cult following over the years. But, given all the attention showered on Toyota’s full-size Tundra pickup, and the loudmouthed, showy nature of that segment in general, the Tacoma has labored quietly, at [...]

Nissan 360: Around the World in Two Days!

Brian Armstead — Sat, 03 May 2008 17:25:55 +0000

Roadfly.com was recently invited to Lisbon, Portugal for “Nissan 360.” This was the second “360” for Nissan, the first having been held in San Francisco, California four years ago. For those who don’t know, Nissan, when paired with parent company Renault, is the third largest automaker in the world. [...]

2008 Nissan Titan PRO-4X

Ross Rapoport — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 22:39:30 +0000

In 2004, the brand-new Nissan Titan was the biggest, brawniest full-size truck from Japan. A 305-horsepower V8 and freight-train styling raised the game, and alerted Detroit to an attack on one of the last segments the American Big Three still dominated. It didn’t offer as much variety as [...]

Charlie Romero — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:08:34 +0000

We take a closer look at some of the strengths of the all new 2007 Toyota Tundra. We get into the wheel well and inspect the new huge brakes with their four piston calipers. We examine the suspension, the chassis and more.

2007 Toyota Tundra Full Review: Too Much of a Good Thing

Charlie Romero — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 14:12:12 +0000

The 2007 Toyota Tundra is one of those vehicles that provoke the same reaction no matter how many times you drive them. In the Roadfly office, that reaction was either a shaking head or a silly grin.

Why, you ask? Well…this is just an incredible vehicle. There’s no [...]

2007 Toyota Tundra: Room At The Top?

Brian Armstead — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 19:04:25 +0000

And the best selling vehicle in America is (drum roll, envelope please):

The Ford F-Series Pickup Truck!

This is a refrain that’s almost become automatic over the years, as Ford’s F-Series pickups have been the best selling vehicles in America for a number of years, and the best selling trucks in America [...]

Cargo floor and interior storage in Nissan Titan proves very useful

Laura Burkholder — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 15:57:26 +0000

The back seats or cargo area, depending on your preference, comes with a few surprises.

First to the standard aspects, the seats come up with the ease of a handle and the mats are removable for easy cleaning. However, you don’t need to worry about calling shotgun in this car [...]

Nissan Titan’s Fold Flat Front Passenger Seat

Ross Rapoport — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 18:14:58 +0000

One of the full-size truck market’s most reliable customers is the contractor – that guy who practically lives in his truck, carrying a mix of business and personal items (tools and toys), and often a variety of people. The contractor demographic helped make the four-door pickup a household item, [...]

The Titan’s Sirius satellite antenna is nicely hidden

Ross Rapoport — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 20:11:58 +0000

One other thing we feel compelled to mention about our Titan test truck is the common-sense approach Nissan has taken on the issue of satellite radio. Most manufacturers have elected to plop strangely-shaped, body-colored antennae on the roofs of their cars. However, the Titan’s Sirius antenna is located [...]

Utili-Track System provides a ton of utility.

Alan Riley — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 18:57:40 +0000

One of the features of our Nissan Titan that we have found to be unexpectedly useful is the Utili-track bed system. With a name like Utili-track, you might think that this is simply one of a long list of features attached to the window sticker of a truck by [...]

Welcome the 2006 Nissan Titan Crew Cab to the fleet.

Charlie Romero — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 13:17:37 +0000

Nissan is a gutsy brand, overall–willing to take chances that other automakers would have rejected as too risky within the first committee meeting. Look at the 350Z, the Spec-V sedans, or even the alternatively-styled Quest minivan. We credit this audacious attitude with starting the V6 horsepower wars in the midsize [...]

Playing With Nissan’s Tough Little Frontier at the Nissan Off-Road Experience

max — Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

Nissan claims its little Frontier pickup has “class-leading” off-road capability-but pretty much every truck manufacturer makes those sorts of claims. Now, we’ve been mightily impressed with Nissan test products before, but our inherently skeptical natures still prevent us from taking any brand’s words at face value. Especially when we’d just [...]

Nissan Titan, King of Nissan Off-Roaders

max — Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

We know an executive or two in Detroit who’d like to, but there’s really no denying that with the Titan, Nissan has finally built a real, competitive, full-size truck. We’ve tested it in our usual week-long way before; puttering around town, flying down freeways, and hauling whatever home-improvement detritus [...]

2005 Nissan Titan: Make Room At The Top

Steve Litscher — Fri, 11 Mar 2005 14:49:42 +0000

When Nissan threw their hat into the full-size pick-up ring, they didn’t tip toe around the competition – they came out swinging and aiming square for the jaw. Today and no longer a rookie, the Nissan Titan hasn’t lost any of its passion – Nissan introduced a host of subtle [...]

Review: 2004 Toyota Tundra Double Cab Limited

Charlie Romero — Mon, 15 Dec 2003 14:00:00 +0000

Slowly but steadily Americans have been cozying up to the idea of buying a pick-up truck from the automakers in the Land of the Rising Sun, and after taking delivery of our 2004 Toyota Tundra Double Cab Limited, it’s not hard to see why.

Toyota has been successful in the “small” [...]

2003 Chevrolet Tahoe: Minor Updates, Building On A Sure Thing

Steve Litscher — Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:00:00 +0000

VIENNA, VA – The 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe doesn’t break any new ground, but why should it? It’s already darn near perfect. We recently got our hands on a 2003 Tahoe LT 4×4, and after driving it for nearly a month, we have to take our hats off to Chevrolet – [...]
