National Friendship Day is on Sunday this year, and we've rounded up 
 current cars that come from rival automakers to mark the occasion.

Nissan has announced that its Rear Door Alert system will be standard on 
 many model-year 2019 vehicles, including all of its four-door trucks, 
 sedans and SUVs by model-year 2022.

Half-ton pickup trucks like the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and 
 Ram 1500 are currently at the top of the U.S. sales charts, making safety 
 ratings an increasingly important factor for truck shoppers.

AAA examined model-year 2017 vehicles and found that 28 percent of 
 them do not come with a spare tire as standard equipment.

For 2018, the Nissan Armada full-size three-row SUV gains more standard 
 features and gets a higher starting price.

Here's what's new this week in the pickup truck world as reported by sister 
 site PickupTrucks.com.

The Nissan Rogue's driver assist option gives mainstream buyers a taste of 
 the self-driving future, but it's offered only on the most expensive trim 
 level.
