Every truck is a good truck if you take care of it and know how to drive it. I love my chevy. 97 k1500 160k and i've been givin it hell since 90k so it takes the abuse. i'd probably pick a nissan titan over everything else now a days though.

Yea, thing is my dad had an old 84 Toyota Pickup for 12 years, it never had a problem just was getting too rusty to be cool anymore so he got a jeep. We had the dodge 1500 for 7 years, we traded it in for an F-250 a month or two ago as the tranny was slipping all over the place, it had a bad squeak in the bed while driving, and soon as we got to the dealership the radiator coolant hose broke. Not to mention towing just the arctic cat in a 12 foot enclosed would give that 5.2L V8 trouble. The tranny started overheating just at cruising speed with that trailer going up US27 a couple of weeks before we traded it in. Managed to get 8K out of that 99 Dodge 1500 though. lol

Try 380hp running 93octane... As nightbreed said.. The best anti-theft device made these days.. A V8.

No way, shotgun is still the best anti-theft device. And besides, if you want power you want a diesel. Talk about 325 HP and 550 ft-lbs of torque before your engine even has 150hp. Unfortunately though they're heavy as heck..

Exactly, all that power of a deisel and its way to heavy to use in the mud..Not to mention all the crap you can mess up under the hood, like the turbo's...I would also never buy a Jap truck. I can't believe the Ridgeline won truck of the year award, its a uni-body, it is NOT a truck, and I don't know about the Titan, I just know I would buy a Chevy, Ford, or Dodge before I got a Jap truck.. I dont know that much about truck's, just the basic stuff, I'm more into V8 sports cars...And as for V8's being the best anti-theft deivice, isn't the Cadilac Escalade one of the most stolen vehicles there is? But that is true to some extent, not to many V8's get stolen.

Actually the titan is a nice truck. Big 5.6L V8 is standard which has more power than the Big Block in the F-150. It's also made lightweight with a fully boxed frame. The only thing that could compete with it was the Dodge 1500 with the 5.7L Hemi. Which still couldn't beat it in speed and handling. The Dodge did however beat it in uphill driving with a trailer. Meh, and I've seen them. They're nice trucks.

No.. A V8 is because paying that much for fuel these days isnt worth it.

Working for a multi-point dealer (Chevy,Ford,GMC, Dodge,Toyota,Nissan) in Sebring gives me the opportunity to drive and demo all the domestic and import trucks. The F150 and the Tundra are probably the best road trucks that I have encountered. But I have found that the Nissan Titan 5.6 is the best truck on road and off road. And that is coming from a very non biased person. The Dodge, hands down, would be my last pick! Ill take a 10 yr old Tacoma anyday though!

Ask anyone who has the Nissan Titan what kind of fuel milage they get and then go check the resale values of them.

The only thing I dont like about this truck is the traction controll system and no over ride. Good wheel spin for about 5 sec then falls on its face. road or offroad

Traction control is great but I cannot beleive that they would put it in a truck with no overide switch.

Yep, I actually had a guy wanting to trade a 2005 Titan in with 3,900 miles and a guy trying to trade a 2003 toyota tundra in with 39,000 miles and there was not much difference in the trade value. This happened on the same day and at the same exact time. Was told the titan is not a good resale value because of the fuel milage.

It aint no Chevy. My Tahoe has one...
Maybe there is a chip or something to make it over ride. Pisses me off that I cant hot dog it in the wet or loose sand.
All that power and it has a restrictor plate on it. Maybe Nascar has something to do with it.
