Nissan's Titan really is a full-sized truck - longbed with a V8 or a crewcab with a V8 and a shortbed, both of which are larger than the 2003 F-150. Not much by way of choices yet, but they're being cautious about entry.

What does that have to do with whether a truck is full-sized or not? It's chassis, bed, and body size that make the difference, not the engine choices.
Or is the F-150 Heritage not a full-sized truck?
As for those two configurations you mention - they are on the way in the next two years, along with a diesel and a possible V6 for the really cheap people. Nissan's entering the waters slowly and carefully. They don't want to get burned. The press agrees with me, the Nissan is the first non-big-Three fullsized truck. The Tundra is 7/8ths scale at best.

Agree with the mini Turdra 7/8ths scale, but c'mon, if you are going to compete, compete!
A full size truck customer wants choices. Hypothetically, I want a LWB 8 ft bed, with a supercab. I need a manual tranny and I want a choice of engines...
Not everyone needs a city slicker cookie cutter shortbox supercab with all the bling bling options to look cool at Safeway or in the driveway of the tract home development...
Sounds like Datsun isn't too confident if they don't want to jump in with both feet.
Apples to apples....
