People ask me all the time how I got into auto journalism and why. I'll save that story for another day, but you should know that it started with Ford. My relationship with this company has been full of joys, blessings, and FUN. Of course I love their vehicles, but it's more than that. It's the people I get to work with who make this experience more than just a car to drive for … [Read more...] about Moving with Ford. Transit and Super Duty to the Rescue!

Top Trucks for Texans: A Comparison Post
We go back and forth about buying a truck. We really want a truck. We could really use a truck. We don't want to spend the money. Over the past couple of years we've had the opportunity to drive several full size pickups. We've had our favorites and until my few days at the Texas Truck Rodeo with my fellow Texas Auto Writers Association members, the Toyota Tundra PRD-Pro had … [Read more...] about Top Trucks for Texans: A Comparison Post

I've said before that I'd found my truck, or the perfect truck, or some other high praise for a pickup. It could be that I don't currently own a truck and I really want a truck so … [Read more...] about The Week the 2016 Ford F-150 Lariat Stole My Heart
Off-Road Exploring in the 2016 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X
I'm not going to lie. I've never been a fan of small trucks like the Nissan Frontier. They seemed like such a waste to me. When I need a truck, I need a big one to haul straw for the garden, lumber for projects, appliances, or large furniture. Besides, in Texas, only a full-size is considered a 'real truck.' My oldest brother helped me to see that small to mid-size trucks … [Read more...] about Off-Road Exploring in the 2016 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X
