I like the ride, interior noise level (quiet), and interior layout, and I work for the Nissan plant that builds the Titan. Sure, I'll start looking at the '08 or '09 Titan because the interior will be upgraded since I can get a really good deal on one, but I'm staying with my '05 F-150 until then since I really can't come up with a good reason to trade to an '07 Titan now since the '08 Titan comes out in April. Even at the plant, people (even those that own Titans) compliment the F-150, especially when they ride with me to lunch.

You need to get both the original keys, or it's going to cost you big bucks to add another.

You need both original keys to program any more of them, yourself. Otherwise it requires a trip to the Ford dealer, and deep pockets.

Test drive it on the freeway and pay attention to the steering wheel at 60-75mph. Some have a steeting wheel nibble or vibration that can't be cured.

Virginia Beach? Thats where Im at and 4x4 is useless around here lol. We get no snow, you cant drive on the beach anywhere, and theres nothing but city streets and highways.
