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.

From personal experience:

Me and my friend each have Crew Cab Trucks

Ive got a Titan he has a Hemi 1500 Ram

-Titan has more top end; at 75-80 i walk past my friend pretty good
-Both are about even on the get go, titan may be a little faster than a stock Ram. he has magniflow exh.
-Hemi ram handles significantly better than my titan
-Titan and Hemi stop about equal
-Titan takes interior space like you wouldnt believe
-Hemi ram takes Bed Room by almost a foot it looks like.

I dont regret buying my Titan

I have read this thread in its entirety. I have given this whole topic considerable thought, but my circumspection has given way to a final conclusion. I conducted several tests and all of the data points to the only possible answer. I have the largest wang out of any of you.

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.

 

[Bad BowtieSS]

Im not putting the titan down but it only offers one engine and thats the 5.6, the big three offer so much more that they can probably out power and put more torque into there complete line up of engines in the following years that will make the titan a little behind.

 

[Big Platinum]

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!

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.

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.

 

[JS02]

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.

 

[Truck41]

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

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

 

[JS02]

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.

 

[creaturefromthedeep]

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 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.

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.
