Any way to fix it?
BTW, aside from this I love it. Never thought I've give up my Tundra for a Nissan, of all things.

Most of the abrupt takeoff is attributed to the "drive by wire" system that the Titan has. The gas pedal is connected to a computer rather than to a cable that leads directly to the engine. The computer is programmed to what the Titan designers believe is the acceptable or desired takeoff force.
