I drive an F350 Power Stroke all summer for my summer job (I'm one of those teacher types) as a construction worker. I've towed 14,000lbs. with it, and you'd never know the load was even there. The Ford is a great work truck. Indestructable and powerful. My experience with Fords have been mixed. The 2 F350s we have in the company have around 100,000 trouble-free miles on them. My father's '02 King Ranch F-150 has been flawless. His '97 was another matter. Piece of CRAP. Spent most of its life in the shop.
As far as towing is concerned, I'm sure a Titan isn't even in the same league as the Ford - and nor should it be -it's a 1/2 ton!
The Ford rides like it's meant to tow 15,000 pounds - STIFF. I mean, for a truck that can tow that much, and carry 3500lbs. in the bed (we do it ALL the time - palettes of concrete mix) it's pretty darn good. Still, it isn't the supple highway cruiser that the Titan is.
Diesels are loud. Take it on the highway for several hours, and you'll wish you had a gas motor. Also, one more thing - Ford has had some pretty big time problems with the new 6.0 engine. I'm not sure what they are, but I see references to the problems in all the trade mags. I don't know if they've fixed them, or not.
