All right, first off i just want to say that i have been a life long Ford guy (let the flaming begin)

Anyways i have always owned Fords, and they have always ben great to me, say what you want but i had very few problems with any of them.

But i sold my 97 F-150 last weekend and am in the market for a new truck.

Well about 5 months ago my wife and i were in the market for a new SUV. Nothing Ford has in the SUV line, has ever really impressed me. My wife always liked Murano's, so we went and drove a couple...........3 hours later we owned a silver 03 SL AWD fully loaded murano with 28k miles on it.

I have been so impressed with the Murano that, now that my truck is sold, i am thinking about an 04 CC Titan. I have always loved the looks of the Titan and the 5.6 is a hot rod motor!
Few Questions for you guys.........

i drive roughly 550 miles/week for my work, i do home remodeling, roofing, build garages, etc.
Anyways I estimate it to be 90% highway and 10% city driving.
Would i be far off to estimate 15-16 mpg average?
and prob 8.5 to 9mpg towing my 7500lb work trailer?

I used to get 6mpg with the F-150 pulling the trailer and 13 hwy unloaded.

I love the Titan for its great looks, the BT package with trans temp gauge and tow mirrors!
This site is awesome and i have already learned alot from it.
Thanks guys!!!!!
