Funny you should say that, considering my name says TN in it, so apparently I live pretty far away from you, but should you ever feel the need for me to bust those weak rear ends with my Ford 9in rear end, let me know when you head up this way. You guys and your new people transporting trucks. Jesus, when will you learn what tough means. "Smooth ride.. efficient... fast" Where's the tough part? Oh yeah, it's a Nissan.
Miketan, who in their right mind buys a truck to race against other trucks? I know more than all you know that Ford doesn't make fast trucks like Chevrolet, Toyota, and Nissan. But, they are tougher. Anything your truck is rated to do, an F-150 is rated for more. Horsepower figures sell automobiles to people .. like this. 5-speed auto trans? Hell, I have a 4-speed with low manual trans. NP435. Yes, your tranny will bust before mine breaks a sweat. You guys are too young.
You have one thing going for you, nice sound. But the sound doesn't get you home.. or up that steep hill with 8500lbs behind you. The 5.4 makes it's torque much lower than your 5.6. And that's not even why it tows more. The engine helps with the ratings, but it's all about the drivetrain and braking, which also beats the Nissan. And the 5.4 can make plenty more power. You do know that's what's in the Ford GT, don't you?
When your truck is old enough to drink beer, like mine, then call me. I'll tow you home.
EDIT: BTW, I've noticed you guys worship Popular Mechanics (bad) choice in loving the Titan. Apparently, they, like most people here, rate a truck by 0-60, and not 60-0 and reliability like it should be chosen by.
So, I decided to find this beautiful article that is held as a piece of gold and compare who REALLY has the best braking. Don't you agree 60-0 is more important than 0-60, loaded or unloaded? You should.
Titan - Loaded: 30-0: 37.26; 60-0: 144.3
F150 - Loaded: 30-0: 29.01; 60-0: 123.46
Tundra-Loaded: 30-0: 35.5; 60-0: 141.16
Chevy- Loaded: 30-0: 36.64; 60-0: 152.14
BTW, the F150 also won them all unloaded. Now, I don't understand how you could say the Titan has better brakes?
