The Titan has toy-like under pinnings. The Dana 44 also comes in a Jeep Wrangler.
The Titans I've rode in, like mentioned above, felt cheap and tinny.
Why don't you take your argument to the F150 forum? You'd get a lot more responses but they won't be nice ones like here.....

The F350 will obviously tow it better. But I am just saying don't say the Titan can't do it. It does and I see them pull daily at my work excess of 6k lbs easily. The F350 is in a different class.

My neighbor has one with some banks exhaust. I rode in it and the thing was seamed all beef but her stomped on it and it didn't take off like it would seam. His is a 2-door 5.7. I agree with you it does feel cheaply made, light doors.

if the titan was worth a 1/2 a pinch of salt it would have sold..

the fact it hasnt sold well at all if any recently speaks for itself..

if a vehicle is well made and built for the task at hand it will sell well.. thats a fact..

Nissan just like Toyota doesnt understand the fullsize truck market, and i doubt they ever will..

Toyota is on whats its 4th try ??? and their truck is a sales flop..

The titans GCVWR is 9800lbs. the curb weight is in the region of 4800 to 5000 lbs.
Anyone towing anything more than 5000 lbs is a menace period.
Those are chick trucks and are only good for tent trailers.
Don't kid yourself.

Really? Is that why it won all the comparison tests for 4-5 years straight since it came out in 04? It didn't sell as well because it's the first full size truck Nissan ever sold. And in America, people like America built trucks (even though the Titan is more American built than the Fords are), but still. It mostly didn't sell well because of the option packages. If it had them compared to the F150, it would have sold much better.

It is very obvious how biased you are. Your post shouldn't even be worth my response.

Oh guess I better not get my F150. Or I guess we should sell all our F150s, Silverados at work, because they have less ratings than the Titan does.

Actually it goes to America. Might want to research that yourself. The plant has US workers, and all are paid with US funds. It doesn't go to Japan.

Back to my earlier point. Why are you in a Ford truck forum then? You should be in a Nissan Titan forum. Cancel that order for the F150 and get your Titan. You make no sense, you boast great Titan statistics and yet you say you ordered an F150?

I don't believe your Titan and Tundra's are the best in your "fleet" at work. If this was truly the case you would see large companies with fleets of them (REAL work trucks, not small delivery). I have NEVER seen a Titan or Tundra fleet (more than 5) truck in my life. They're always Fords or Chevy's and occasionally Dodges.

Dude, I have had Nissan's throughout my life with Z cars. I love them as well. Because I am not BIASED like some folks here, I like the F150, and getting one. I get to see all the trucks at my job. Unlike a lot of folks here, they don't get to experience that. There are many fleets here in San Antonio that use Tundra's. Titans not so much, but definitely Tundras.

Don't forget, that Ford/Chevy give much bigger fleet discounts than Toyota or Nissan would. Ford/Chevy also better watch out as Nissan just came out with a large work van. http://www.nissancommercialvehicles.com/features/

Actually, a good percentage of the funds from a vehicle sale finds its way back to corporate coffers. Yes some of it goes to the locale where the vehicle was assembled as well as to locales where the parts were actually made, but a good portion also goes to corporate.

Right, and really, it isn't your section either... Your name is nizmoz and most (if not all) of your posts are arguing the greatness of your mighty mighty Titan. You claim to have 'ordered' an F150, so at the very least, post a bill of sale or some other proof that you are a soon to be blue oval owner.
