Why don't you shut the hell up!?
We don't like you, we never have, we never will. All you do is cause problems. Leave the forum, you act like a little girl trying to stir up some drama.

Me, look at yourselves. Grow up and be open minded for once in your life!

It is true, nothing "does a better job" than the Titan in failing Government Safety Standards... 
I still can't believe some people have enough time on their hands to go into a Ford Truck Forum and talk about how great a Titan is.

Not to beat a dead horse, BUT, I am taking delivery of my new 05' F150 tomorrow and dropping off my 05' Titan if that tells you anything. My Titan had navi, DVD, sunroof, etc....but, it still wasnt enough to win me over and keep it in my driveway after driving the 05' Ford!! Overall, the Titans fit and finish was horrible. I didnt feel at any time that the Titan is a truck that would be reliable and durable over time. Sure, its fast as hell, but for how many miles??? I made a mistake and now I couldnt be happier picking up my new Lariat tomorrow. Nissan didnt do a bad job with the Titan, but, they have a long way to go with refinement issues and reliability. The Ford just seems soooo much more refined and pleasant to drive. The power is just fine for me as I am not trying to break land speed records. I am simply wanting a durable, attractive, hard working truck that is fun to drive and will last me a long time.....so, I did what I should have done in the beggining--give berth to my new child-----my shiny new 05' screw lariat (black) w/sunroof, tow package, audiophile, power rear window, heated leather, etc.....I am already starting to brainstorm over mods, so any help would be appreciated!! Thanks everyone....

Congrats on the F150 purchase and welcome!
Welcome to the "real truck" forum.
To answer what I think was your original question:
I have had my true blue FX4 for almost a month now and the only noise coming from inside the cab is the ashtray. It is somewhat irritating at times but I plan to put an end to it this next weekend.
Now, let's get to the mods!
If your not putting on a 4" or 6" lift might I suggest a leveling kit to lift up that front end a couple inches... I used the Daystar 2.5". I plan to post some pics of this sometime this week...
If you want an increase in power, torque, improve throttle response and shiftpoints... this summer I plan on putting on the Banks Monster exhaust, k&n intake and either the Diablo or Xcalibrator tuner...
Good Luck and let's see some pics of yours soon.

Paul congrats ! Wish i would have signed in a day or so earlier i could have got you a X-PLAN to help in the trade loss from the Titan. I have a FX4 and they resurfaced the front rotors at 5700 miles and they are still smooth today with nearly 16,000 on them. I just started getting a front end vibration that comes and goes at highway speeds. Thay have a TSB on this and it goes in tommorrow. All in all im really happy with this truck and would get another one with out hesatation. Oh get a tuner for it makes the driving much more fun .

That being said, if you want to praise the Titan, do it over there. We'll stay here and love our trucks. Don't let the doorknob hit you...

Hmmm 05 Titan, you didn't even give it a chance. There is a guy on the forum that has over 70k on this 2004 with 0 problems. NONE! He will have 140k by this time next year. He said it still drives and rides like its new.

6) Titan has 5 speed auto
Ford:
1) F150 has higher max towing numbers (but doesn't do a better job at it)
2) F150 has higher payload, again doesn't do a better job)
3) F150 has a better interior
4) F150 has a quieter engine and drivetrain
5) F150 has a quiter ride period
Well, when you buy a truck, you look for what the Titan has more than what the Ford has usually. So you take your pick between the two.

what's the point in all of that weight capacity when those cottage cheese brakes on the Titan cant stop the truck?
