CHAMPION: Nissan Titan
I picked up (no pun intended) the Nov-December issue of TruckTrend Magazine with an article of "Half Ton Shootout" for the best pickup in America. They tested 4 door models and as tested prices:
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with 5.3 Liter V8, OHV-2 valves/cyl $31,965 Dodge Ram 1500 with 5.7 Hemi engine, OHV-2 valves/cyl $36,750 Ford F-150 with 5.4 Liter engine, SOHC-3 valves/cyl $37,935 Nissan Titan with the 5.6 Liter DOHC-4 valves/cyl $29,810 Toyota Tundra with the 4.7 Liter DOHC-4 valves/cyl VVT $32,464 TruckTrend tested these categories: 1. Engine and transmission 2. Brake/steer/chassis 3. Ride and handling (empty) 4. Ride and handling (loaded) 5. Visibility 6. Cab utility 7. Bed/tow utility 8. Cabin comfort 9. Fit and finish 10. Perceived value. OVERALL SCORECARD: **1 = Best, **5 = Worse Nissan............... 1.2 Toyota.............. 2.6 Ford.................. 3.2 Dodge................ 4.3 Chevrolet............ 4.4 Makes me feel good about about my Titan.

Seriously! The winner didn't even make it to the cover. I guess we can call it a sleeper. Besides, no one wants to buy a mag in which there truck gets spanked!

What were the numbers-0-60 1/4 mile?
Hey,what were the acceleration numbers-0-60 and 1/4 mile?The link won't show the article.Earlier a poster said the Tundra beat the Titan 0-50 and was just .1 slower in 1/4 mile.
Thanks.Charlie Just the Titan and Tundra is ok with me-I know the Titan beats the Chevy and Ford-easily. |

They put the Big 3 on the cover, but the top two rated didn't make it. I think they thought if they put the winner on the cover, the domestic guys wouldn't buy the mag. This might actually be a good thing.

I'm impressed...
The Titan won a few of those categories pretty handily. Heck, I don't work at a magazine, nor do I rate trucks for a living, but I could've told everyone the same thing!!

I think they should have left out the visibility and perceived value catagorys. I'd be curious what the numbers would be without those.

Speaking of competition, I've been seeing and hearing these Toyota commercials that say the "Tundra has a bigger payload than F-150 & Titan". Has anyone seen one of these "heavy duty Tundras" or have any knowledge of this?? When did this start?
