[TITAN21]

just the other day i test drove the new CC silverado, a hemi ram 4x2 on 20's, and the tundra double cab. the silverado CC seems real small inside compared to my TITAN. it's real low to the ground and the cab seems tiny. the 5.3 seemed REAL underpowered to me. i know that it will pick up over time, but i went full throttle and it took me quite a while to get up to the speed that i would easily achieved in my TITAN. the new double cab tundra is nice and spacey inside, and the 4.7 was actually quite nice. it obviously couldn't compare to the 5.6, but was pretty peppy and has a nice get up and go off the line. it definately was packing more punch than the 5.3 from chevy. the vaunted hemi ram was also nice and strong as the tundra, but didn't really blow my socks off. it was fast but i wondered where all the hype was coming from... it really felt it's weigh and i did not handle very well. i dont like that bigger american feel of the steering wheel, i like the tighter japanese feel. the interior was blahh, i liked the steering wheel design but nothing else. the TITAN is definately the best full-size pick-up out there folks.

The Srt 10, and Lightning are half ton's. As far as the hemi not feeling like 345hp. He's right there when it comes to take off feeling. Throttle by wire kills the take off power of the hemi. Its surely not the engine that kills the feeling. Thats shown by real life 1/4 mile times, and not some BS magazine that gives props to whatever company thats sends more cash to them. Dodge chose to advertise commercials, Nissan chose magazines. facts show hemi quads run 15.3 RC 4x4's run 15.1, and RC 2x4's run high 14's bone stock. The titan definantly feels faster, and to some thats all that matters. To others the fact the hemi is faster matters. Its all personal opinion. If you like your truck, thats all that matters. All its got to do is serve its purpose weather it be commute, haul, tow, race, sit in garage, rust away it dont matter. If it does what you bought it to do then its a good truck.

hey budman, we all know that all those magazines are BS, i mean come on who wants to believe car and driver?? those guys havent established any kind of reputation at all! its funny over at dodge truck world all the dodge guys bash the new f-150 saying its slow. but how do they know this? thats right, thru magazines. they all say it themselves, but when it comes to the hemi getting beat by the TITAN, then all of a sudden the magazines are full of $#*^. funny. i personally have driven both, my truck is a 4X2 CC on 18's and i drove a laramie QC 4X2 on 20's, one right after the other, and the TITAN had more pull and power than the hemi. dont get me wrong, the hemi dominated the 5.3 from chevy and the 4.7 from toyota, but didn't compete with the TITAN. i know those magazines are all BS, but there are plenty of threads over on DTW where guys with QC's talk about running 16's, so they perhaps aren't all lies are they budman? i mean how do you guys know the f-150 is slow? either way, these are both potent engines and definately put the the ferd-150 to shame fortunately.

And how do you know it had more pull ? Did you bring your pull meter with you ? Come on You cant say I drove both and this one definitely has more pull. That could just be the way the truck is. Some feel different that others.

if you would read my post 1# ton you would see i said that i drove them back to back, within less than 1 minute of each other, and could tell the considerable difference in power my TITAN had over the hemi. i know it had more pull because i FELT it, haha. its pretty easy to dictate which vehicle is faster when you drive them back to back. im not putting your truck down, im just saying the TITAN is faster, simple as that.
