I just test drove was a rocket compared to the F150. Will proper tuning wake up the F150, can the F150 run side by side with the nissan. I was impressed with the Titan!

 

Ok take it from me...I have the F150 and my bro has the Titan SE. Both are lifted with 35's. I have the Edge, Flowmasters, Intake and regeared to 4.10's. His is stock. I can somewhat keep up with him. He beats me by a half truck length off the line but I catch up in the longrun. Titan's are nice, but the F150 can be made as fast or faster and it looks a hell of a lot better!

I think you are not comparing them equally, Coz, I think Titan is not a V8 engine, and as for overall weight they are not equally the same. But still it's your own impression

 

[QUOTE=edisonrizon]
I was comparing a 4x4 4door titan with my 06 FX4 excab, the Titan is a 5.6 V8.

 

 

They are both a V8. Titan is 5.6 and the F150 is 5.4 . I heard somewhere in here that the Titan has less power lag to the rear wheels or something like that.

 

2007 Ford 5.4 24V 300 HP 365 TQ 25% to 30% drive line loss
2007 Titan 5.6 32V 317 HP 385 TQ 14% drive line loss
apples to apples the titan is faster .... you can mod both

 

Thats what I was trying to say! Thanks! Titans may be faster but like I said F150's arent the best selling truck for 20+ years for nothing! Word!

 

Well in all fairness the Titan hasnt been around 20yrs. Imagine if Ford used a more powerful engine combined with a 5spd automatic, F150s would sell even better AND keep up with the competition.

Hopefully, Ford will actually look at their competition and learn that they must not rely on repeat customers and "the truck looking good"(which is totally relative) in order to sell trucks.

Can you mod your truck to keep up with a Titan...yes
Can a Titan throw the same mods on and beat the F150...yes
All we can do is hope Ford releases a more powerful engine, a better 5 spd auto, and possibly put the F150 on a diet. For God sake's its heavier than a Ram, and a Ram is a "huge beotch"

 

The F150 also has a HUGE frame. I do agree...we need a awesome 5 speed! Ooooh la la.

 

I think it harder to tune a Titan, because the computer has to be removed and taken somewhere to get it tuned. At least that is what my buddy back home told me, he has a Titan and is also a tech for Nissan. But he is a Ford man at heart with his Stang at 600rwhp.

 

yes, it's faster

i test drove one before i bought my ford, just for fun, since i had no intention of buying a japanese pickup

it was very quick but it also felt much less substantial

when you give up the kind of weight difference and factor in the drivetrain with the 5-speed transmission, the titan ought to be quicker

...but when i want quick, i drive the mustang gt--it beats a titan

 

I wonder of the F150's will be getting the 6 auto thats coming out in the 07 expy???

 

I drove the Nissan too. Real fast. I liked that. Drove the Ford. Better ride, more substantial, and better looking IMO. Also SLOW. Added the option below. Expensive, but gave me the truck that I wanted and thats what its all about.

 

its a nice truck but fast is all its got. the interior is made of cheap material, weaker frame, and have you looked at the axle they put on those things?

if i were to buy another truck id hardcore consider the titan. ford will never give a damn about anything all yall say because they resting on their laurels. unless they lose significant market footing they will always product an underperforming truck.
