RE: DODGE RAM VS NISSAN TITAN
ORIGINAL: horatio102
speaking of american muscle, did you know a higher percentage of Titans and Tundras are made in the USA than Rams?
I'm beginning to think it's the Ram guys who are insecure, having to constantly slam the competition. Let the facts speak for themselves. Yeah, Big 3 trucks are rated to tow heavier loads. Yeah, they've got more power. So what? Toyota will need a larger engine if it wants to stay in the game, but compare their 4.7 with Dodge's.
Toyota
282 hp and 325 ft-lbs, 16-18mpg, standard towing on a 4x4 is 7100 lbs
Dodge
235hp and 300 ft-lbs, 13-17mpg, standard towing on a 4x4 ST is 3950
Which one looks better now?

Well Toyota Boy, the Chevy 4.8 has 285 h.p. now, so which one is more powerful now?

Horatio, I find something interesting about you and your posts.......You seem to like our Forum, and yet you like to defend the foreign toys more.....TODD is right, why do you stay here if you desire the Toyota's and Titans.... just make it simple for yourself and go buy a Titan and join their Forum....
Hell if I had such a passion to defend, and owned a Titan, I would not be here.... I think you just like to dispute anything IMO...
Ya seem like a nice guy, but bring on the Titan, my truck is waiting for some spanking.......if it can..
Have a nice day, and smile Horatio....life isnt that difficult........

RE: DODGE RAM VS NISSAN TITAN
It's not that I don't like Rams, I just don't like the rah rah hemi=god all else is a pile of **** circle jerk mentality. Yeah, the hemi's got more power, and the Ram can tow more, but that doesn't make the others an inferior vehicle. The Toyota is designed for a slightly different buyer - mainly the Johnny Suburbs out there who want Toyota reliability while being able to still haul a load of bark or tow a reasonable sized boat. The american half-tons are targeted at a slightly different buyer. You buy what suits your needs.
And Good for Chevy, but I hardly see how that makes the Ram look better.
Hey, I like my Ram most of the time, but I'm man enough to concede that there are higher quality products out there. I bought mine because I liked it better and it suited my needs. I wouldn't have hooked up the race car and loaded the bed with tools for a drive from the NW corner of WA down to LA or Colorado if I had bought a Toyota.
