But that's off the subject.
You ignored the fact that you guys are all so happy to see a Titan win a race against something else, but forget the fact that Ford dominates your *** in towing. Again, who buys a truck to go fast? Grow up. Trucks are meant to tow, and Ford wins.

Are you sure you're on the right forum? This is actually Titan Talk not tundra talk. We have fully boxed frames with fully welded cross members too.
Dominates in towing? Whoopee do!. 1-2k lbs difference in max tow rating is a manufacturer gimmick just like the old pre SAE hp ratings. Who in their right mind tows at max rating in a 1/2 ton PU? That is, unless you plan on selling it in less than 2 years. Payload capacity is a more important factor than those highly inflated max towing numbers.
According to your logic, if trucks are meant to tow, then I guess you should be driving an F350 diesel. At 4.59 a gallon and rising for diesel around here, I think I'll pass.
The problem with the Ford F-150 is that it's too damn heavy and the 5.4 L is lethargic for the supposedly factory rated 300hp. That's probably why they lighten it up for '09. They couldn't get any more power out of the POS engine so they lighten that heavy a$$ frame.
The F-150 ain't a bad truck, but the Titan is better. DOHC V8, 5sp automatic trans, better brakes, better styling, and generally a better value than what you would get in a comparable domestic like the F-150. Oh yeah, did I mention the Titan is a lot FASTER too? LOL!
