I kinda hate pick up trucks, but Nissan all the way on this one. Interior finish!

silverado, but i'm bias because i own one

The Titan is the best all-around pickup and the best value for sure, but I voted for the Ram since it's the sportiest one and the Hemi V8 is an incredible motor.

yeah too bad the titan is faster with a smaller engine making ( supposidly ) less power and can tow more stuff.

sorry man hemi is just overrated. there is nothing that a hemi can do that a good 4 valve per cylinder engine with a good quench area can't do. in fact the 4 valve will flow more then that outdated pushrod 2 valve per head setup.

displacement per displacement. a dohc 4 valve owns hemi.

I think the Ford is the one with more variety of engines, body frames, equipment, etcc, and is the best built overall, not to mention is the best lookin ever.

I was actually talking about handling and road-holding more than raw power. I realize that Nissan's engine is superior to the Hemi in power production, but the Hemi still a very competitive motor. I think that a 2-valve OHV setup is actually better for a motor in a full-size pickup that needs the power down low.

um.....i pick my truck

[mason_RsX]

But the Titan V8 is the one with more torque, the hemi wins in hp....which is very unexpected

I would take the Titan because it looks better than the competition inside and out, and its very powerful

Dodge Ram without a second thought. I'm obviously Dodge bias since I own a Dakota and also a Mopar fan. But it just seems like a general public tends to lust after the Ram more than the competition. It's also got the style, performance, and reliability that I want.

The Titan would be a good competitor except it's so fucking ugly. Plus, no diesel option.

Nissan guys can argue the V8 comparo but nothing beats a Dodge Ram 3500 with the Cummins diesel. End of story.

If you are talking about newer (>2003) trucks the Tundra is allright, but older one have brake problems (like mine) warped rotors and drums 1999.5-2002. I give the nod to the Titan.

F-150 but thats a little bias. With the payload package it has the highest payload and towing. And if your worried about speed you can always get a dealer installed Roush supercharger that is covered under warranty. And will get you in low 6 seconds 0-60 Mph while you still have 4wd and a crewcab.

I gotta say that sounds pretty tight that Ford offers a SC under warranty, never heard of it before, but sounds pretty cool.

I also hold a bit of Bias, being a Dak owner, I choose the Ram, has lot's of options, and Domestic pickups still have the upperhand on the imports.

Of the two imports, I'd take the Tundra, although the ugliest of all of them (looks more like a cars frontend), they are very reliable pickups (read Consumer Reports). My uncle has one, and it's got decent power.

The commercials of Ford claim they are the best selling pickup, but I see so many new Rams on the road, does anyone have actual figures of who has sold the most?

TRD offers the same for the Tundra, with full warrenty if they install it.

The dodge ram is the worst of the big 3 and always have been, they have improved their trucks in the latest redesign but they are still not up to standard. The hemi engine is very overated not only is it not clean as far as emissions goes it is very unfuel efficent and consitering this is a new design it is some what distressing. Dodge have a history of having tranny failures too so hopefully this is not the case with this one as well. The new f150 although a huge improvement over the former very substandard f150 is an unexeptional vehical, The chevy although a very nice truck in its time is getting old in the tooth now. The tundra is a very very nice truck with lexus like quality how ever it is a little small and dated. The nissan truck I would say has to be the best at the moment it has a beautiful smooth and powerful engines with well build chasis and suspention and some of the best pay load and towing numbers in class.
