Steve and Monique Kursar

Steve and Monique Kursar share a deep passion for cars, storytelling, and the open road. Steve, a veteran automotive journalist and former head of Ford Public Relations in the South Central region, hails from New York but found his home in Texas over 20 years ago—thanks to both the state and the Texan he fell for. Monique, a Texas Gulf Coast native, grew up surrounded by American-made vehicles and developed an early love for speed, whether it was farm trucks, mini-bikes, or a 1973 Eldorado convertible she drove through the Hill Country at just 12 years old. While their automotive tastes vary—Steve has his eye on an early BMW 3-Series convertible—one thing they agree on is the value of a good truck. Both rely on their trusty 2006 Toyota Tacoma as their daily driver, proving that in the Kursar household, every family really should have a truck.
