There is a video on there of a f-150 harley edition vs a titan. F-150 looks like it takes off slow and just stays behind

Did anyone watch the video called Viper Slayer to the right??? It's the SRT-10 Ram getting RAPED by a Lightning. Freakin' awesome!!!! And it looks like the Lightning is rollin' on street tires.

If the Lightning cant beat a Titan, something is very wrong...
I personally dont put much stock in those vids on Youtube. Its way too easy to fix a race and make one vehicle look superior.
Ive seen a few videos on there of trucks in pulling contests and in a lot of cases it looks like the truck that loses isnt even really trying.

Lightnings are sick, i seen a couple of them running some good numbers at the track the other day. My buddy has a titan and i have to say they are pretty quick for a stock truck. There tranny is awesome.

Yeah, but the rearends in those trucks are weak. A lot of people are having issues with breaking the rear differentials in their Titans. The problem is that Nissan uses the same rear diff in the Titan as what they use in the midsize Frontier. That rearend cant handle the stress that the V8 puts on it and they break.
Maybe thats why Nissan is going to stop making the Titan and is going to have Dodge start building their fullsize trucks for them...

Carlos Ghosn has stated that he is dissapointed with the overall sales numbers of the titan, citing the primary reason for killing the truck.
