Hmm it stops faster than the F150 in all the tests.

Hey gas X, glad you're in love w/ your nissan. As I'm sure your well aware, on this site(which is made up mostly of Ford owners FYI) most of us are happy w/ our trucks. No one really cares how nissan eckes out Ford in a few single categories. Ford always comes out on top in the end. You bring to mind the adage "figures lie and liars figure" How old are you anyway? 15? 16?

Not true. I have a magazine right here (Special issue of Automobile magazine) that tested out 4 trucks. The titan, Silverado, Tundra, and the F-150. The F-150 was the only one of these trucks that could stop 5 feet shorter from 60-0 with a 900 pound load in the bed, than it could empty. Wonder how that happened? It's called "t-e-c-h-n-o-l-o-g-y." Once again, you are wrong. Have a nice day.

More misinformation like usual. Please prove in facts that Ford always come out on top in the end please then I will shut up. That means EVERY COMPARISON, EVERY ARTICLE, EVERY TEST.

Well there were 2 tests that it beat the heavy f150 in braking. But then I found a test also that the Titan won in, but the braking it got beat by 12 feet with a boat behind. And it was the F150. Seems the Titan can stop faster on its own compared to the F150, but when you add weight, it can't stop as fast.

Congrats on the purchase paulphilly, too bad your thread got jacked by g35_tx. On the bright side, he'll be banned soon enough. If not, it's like dealing with a little kid, if we ignore him he'll give up and go away.

You need to learn how to stay out of Fourms you don't belong in! This fourm are for F150 owners to discuss there trucks! Not nissan owners to talk about Titans! You not wanted here, your hated by all, we want to watch you light yourself on fire and die in pain! Now that will give us something to talk about!

Dude, trust me, I have a teenager. If you stop giving him attention he'll have no reason to hang around.

Let him talk. I enjoy reading these kinds of threads. They sort of keep the flame alive if you know what I mean. There's nothing wrong with a little competition now is there?

maybe it does, but from what I read, the Titan has brake issues (as does the Tundra)

So maybe it stops faster... until they fail.

I own a new 05 f-150 4x4 fx4 w/2000 miles and love it,but I did have a Toyota Tundra for four years before that and never had a bit of trouble with it 62000 miles on it. The truck was never in the shop for anything.Never heard about the brake problem only the front end shimmy they had on some of them.
So far the new Ford is just what I thought it would be a great truck

Yea and it seems the F150 has brake issues. Why don't you stop with this debate because it will continue on with the bickering you guys keep causing.
