Congrats man, good luck with itWell its been fun guys. I picked up a 4x4 2011 f150 supercrew with the 5.0, 3.73 gears and rear locker. I sold my 2008 Titan KC 2wd. I am just a ford guy i guess, i never loved the titan, i love this f150. It hauls ***, about the same stock as 2wd titan with bullydog, intake, and programmer. dyno's 311hp at the rear wheels only loses like 15% parasitic loss in the trans. Been getting 18.5 mpg on hwy, and im not worried about the transmission blowing up or rear end giving out. No more radiator or brake problems!!! Titantalk is way better than their forums i can tell you that!!! Have fun guys its been good!
I am aware of the rear axle and brake issues with the early Titans, but what is he talking about with the transmission blowing up? I thought the Titan has a pretty solid engine & tranny setup.Been getting 18.5 mpg on hwy, and im not worried about the transmission blowing up or rear end giving out.

The Engine and Transmission are good in Titans. They had differential problems, mostly 04-07. In 08 they re-did the brakes and they are no longer an issue. He had an 08 Titan so I don't really know why the OP was listing all of the issues older titans had. He is having that new car love fest right now and has to hate on what he use to drive and brag about how much faster, more reliable his new rig is. I have seen the 1/4 times from the 5.0 ford and him saying that his stocker can run a intake, programmer, exhaust Titan is laughable. Your engine and transmission aren't going to blow up lol so you have no worries.I am aware of the rear axle and brake issues with the early Titans, but what is he talking about with the transmission blowing up?

All apostrophes properly used.Whatever the reasons for your purchase, you got a good vehicle. The new F150's look nice and are very capable trucks from what I've seen of a few owned by friends. It should serve you well.
