The Nissian is alot lighter than our F150's when they were both tested with a load the Nissan backed up to it. The Tundra with the 4.7 is slower than our 5.4. The Tundra with the 5.7 as I said is faster and the fuel mileage is close with some people reporting lower MPG's but with their new teething problems such as bad Tq. coverters, tail gates bending, bad wheels, ticking heads, extream body shake, vents falling"up", etc. I chose the Ford and with the Ford I can be faster if thats what I want....and I do.

I don't think so. The Tundra was recently tested with the 5.7 Ex cab and it ran 14.9 @ 94 MPH, the Titan crew cab ran 15.6 @ 89 MPH.

That's a good question, my friend has the 05 tundra with the 4.7 and another friend has a chevy dura max with a bully dog set up and both of them took me right off the line and I mean ran clean outta site on me. But neighter one of them stood a chance with my supercharged pontiac GTP.

The toyotas may get better mpgs and be faster but put a load on them and you will learn that they are junk. We were pitted next to a guy at a kart race a few weeks ago and he gets about 5-6 mpg pulling an enclosed 7500# trailer. He traded his duramax for it because of the fuel prices and he said the tundra was a bigger mistake than his divorce. Without the weight distrubution hitch, his would sway all over the place. His was a 5.7l trd off road. He was ready to make a trade on a 08 denali. His comment was that Horspower can't do the work by itself. You need a truck to do the rest and toyota doesn't have the truck part of it.
Its funny that all the way through the 80s and 90s, Chevy always claimed to have more horsepower than ford and maybe they still do but Ford still has the best selling truck in Amerca with the most options for the consumer.

That was very well said. You could put a big f-in motor in anything, but without anything to back it up, it wont move a inch.

I used to be a die hard chevy fan and until My chevy was totaled and I was forced into an expedition thinking that this would be the worst thing in my life, Once I drove that truck I was in love with ford trucks since but I still will never buy a ford car or small suv.
