scupper. Hemi the worst handling. HMMM I wonder why all the reviews Ive read claim the hemi Ram1# in the slalom. As for the Hemi and Titan drag racing. It's so close the magazines cant call it. Every review Ive read either took a 3/4 ton against a Titan or it was an all wheel drive 1/2 ton. I want to see a truck to truck comparison. something like 1/2 4door on [17' WHEELS] VS a 1/2 4 door on 17's.

I drove ALL the full sized pickups available today. The Dodge doesn't drive like 345HP. Chevy is pretty good. Ford is bouncy and slow.

I have a Tundra - the fastest 1/2 available, aside from the Titan. The Titan beats it in EVERY category, in my book.

I WANT ONE. I'm gonna buy one as soon as I see incentives (rebates).

I thought the Srt 10 and the lightning where a half ton's . And don't count Gm out because the 6.0 will be coming in a half ton soon

 

[1# ton]

but dont worry if you want your truck to pull on hemis well that is what you'll get. the TITAN is the better of the two.........well not just the better of the two but better than any full size 1/2 ton truck out their today. so if you want pull pull is what you'll get with the TITAN

And that is you opinion ! I don't know what its better at, My neighbor bought a titan. Almost exact same set up as my Hemi and I put him in my rear view every time we line them up. And I know its not the looks. I wont even go there. I got $500 that says my diesel will take any Titan on this site. Ya I got a Cummings too

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.

 

[1# ton]

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.

Ok here is my theory on this. My diesel is way faster than my Hemi. I know this for a fact . But when I drive them for some reason my Hemi fells like it's faster but it's not. Like I was saying you cannot tell which one is faster by driving them. They are way to close to tell.

Sorry Bad Bowtie, I strongly disagree.

First off, who cares about the smaller engines because they obviously can't compet. Second, the one engine Nissan offers is the equivalent of the other trucks top model and already is as good or better (in my opinion the best). Don't think for a second that ther is not PLENTY of power left in the 5.6. As the Big 3 and Toyota start upgrading (as they now have to BECAUSE of the TITAN), be sure Nissan will respond.

BTY, this is coming from a guy who's last truck was a 2000 Silverado with the 5.3, which I absolutely loved!

The 5.3 is a very good engine. A couple quick mods and its all over for the Titan there is so much you can do with it. With two mods it will run away from any Titan on here. And one is a free mod just descreen the mass air flow and it will be neck and neck With a Titan.

 

[1# ton]

sorry mr 1#ton,you're wrong, the titan has 50# of torque over the chevy. it would take more than a simple mode to overcome that, and that's a fact jack.

No your wrong A descreened MAF And a CAI And put a Diablo chip on a 5.3 Reg cab Step side and you will have a low 13 second truck Depending on the driver. Well you'll be able to see it for yourself. When the Titans come back from The Houston GTG. How do I know I seen it for myself. I could beat my buddy's 5.3 with my Hemi But he spent 750.00 and now he kicks my ***.

 

[1# ton]

In fact A CAI and a descreen of the MAF Is a huge gain on a 5.3 Almost a second gain in a 1/4 mile

 

[1# ton]

I have a 5.3 and a Titan. The 5.3 is a very good engine but it doesn't have the torque that the 5.6 has. No small mod will make that. In a comperable truck it will take more than a few little things to run away from a Titan. A regular cab 2WD 5.3 can be comperable to a Titan because of it's lighter weight. There are more mods available for the 5.3.

I've owned a lot of GM pickups and still own a few. I have had great luck with them and have no complaints. The Titan is the best and most powerful pickup overall that I have ever owned.

Tell the truth did you ever descreen you 5.3 and put a CIA on any of them.

 

[1# ton]

I have run a CAI. I haven't run a descreened MAF. How do you know that the same mods won't help out the Titan? Those are good numbers for those mods. I haven't seen anyone do that around here.

I don't know. Does the Titan have a MAF ??? If it does than your in luck. But the combination of a CAI and descreening The MAF a 5.3 is a reel good mod. For GM owners. Also the Step side is by far the lightest GM truck. It has a Fiberglass bed.

My sales guy told me he bought a hemi before the Titan hit the lots, and he was dissapointed that he didn't wait (sales talk maybe) then while test driving the Titan along came a Hemi. Side by side with the Titan, Hemi revs, I rev back, light turns green, hemi gets smoked. I buy Titan. Do all the math and figuring you want. The Titan is a bad *** truck that can hold its own against the big dogs. Not bad for the first year. I'm exited to see what future Titans will do. Face it there's a new sheriff in town.

I'm sitting at a light one day In my big *** Dully. [6900 pound truck] And this young punk pulls up next to me in a Titan and looks over at me and says [HAY THAT THING GOT A HEMI] I replied with NO ITS A DIESEL. So anyways the light turns green and that was that. I put at least 8 lengths on him. HM MM GO FIGURE a Diesel.

There's always the guy who needs a little more convincing.

OHHH I suppose you gonna tell me how your Titan is far soupier then a Cummings ???? Right And how it can pull more right ??? And how its faster. WELL lets see I paid 30,000 out the door for a 3500 dully The Cummings is good for at least 400,000 miles. I put 330,000 on my 96 3/4 ton with no major problems at all. And still got 8,000 on trade in. I can pull 20,000, and I can run high 12's in a 1/4 mile. Also I average 22 miles a gallon. Yep I need convincing

 

[1# ton]

I paid about 24 out the door. Can haul what I need to no less no more, and I smoked a Hemi. I am Titan hear me Roar!

I bet you couldn't beat My Hemi. And I only paid 20,000 out the door for it. 392 rear 17 wheels 2x4 Qc Ive beat three Titan's my self What's you location ???

 

[1# ton]

Where they all parked?

That is what I was gonna ask you about the Hemi you said you beat. I got $500 that says mine will beat yours.

1# Ton,

I am starting to see a pattern to your post that are becoming troll like.

You state your nieghbor has a Titan - Then you state you have smoked 3 of them...blah blah blah

Basically, until someone runs them at the strip with equal mods etc then this 'issue' is silly to even discuss for those that really even care.

Also your 'pricing' on your 2 dodge trucks seems pretty mythical as well. You must have some really good VPP programs and discounts and rebates from hell to get a 1 Ton dually for only $30k which is about $10-$12k off sticker for a medium loaded one.

You have your Dodge, We have our Nissans. You like yours, we like ours...Bottom line these type of 'discussions' need to be held over at DTW where you guys relish in that kind of issue.

Chris

Why dont you tell Creature the same, He has done the same as me. Or are you just one sided. It has been just gossip until he started on me go back and look. Ill tell ya what If you keep the Titans off DTW Ill stay off here. You can ban me If you want Ill be back tomorrow. so on and so forth. Ive got multiple puters you'll see.

 

[1# ton]

Use the $500 and your truck and go buy a Titan. You won't regret it.

No thank's Id rather ride the bus. Atleast it looks better.

Also your 'pricing' on your 2 dodge trucks seems pretty mythical as well. You must have some really good VP programs and discounts and rebates from hell to get a 1 Ton dually for only $K which is about $10-$K off sticker for a medium loaded one. For a bare bones with Vinyl it still stickers out at $36,700 after the $2500 rebate on the Dodge site and the max benefits shown are $4500 off so that gets it into $34,K territory. Add Ty&l of around $K and you got your 1 Ton for almost $K better than anyone else right?

You have your Dodge, We have our Nissan's. You like yours, we like ours...Bottom line these type of 'discussions' need to be held over at DTP where you guys relish in that kind of issue.

Chris

I bought them with employee discount. and 2500 rebate on QC. 1000 dealer loyalty And all the rebates where double So just the rebates took off 7000 not including the employee price. So i guess thats mythical right
