Got in an argument with my brother about the 5.4 power. He used to have a nissan Titan and just got an 05 king ranch. He thinks the 5.4 is pretty weak. Drove his Titan a few times and it does feel very powerful. He thinks an f150 is useless with a skidsteer behind it cause we always used a diesel. Any towing pics would be very greatly appreciated

 

F150 with the 5.4 rated: 300 hp @ 5000 rpm and 365 tq @ 3650 rpm
Titan with 339 ci rated: 305 hp @ 4900 rpm and 379 tq @ 3600

So little larger motor in the Nissan, little better numbers. Towing is largely based on gears and the transmission. Put an old gas V8 (200 hp) in a 2.5 ton farm truck with 5.30 gears and a 13 speed transmission, guess who wins the towing battle. Unless the skid steer and trailer are fairly light you're probably pushing the GWVR of the half ton anyways.

 

Ill second that though. The titans feel way more powerful then my 5.4.

Put a stock 5.4 f150 against a stock 5.7 titan and the ford will get raped.

 

Get some real gears. My 4.10s walk all over other 5.4 V8s with 3.73s...

 

so glad my FX4 came stock with the 4:10s. But i have ridden in some titans, i can say that they have more off the line. Puts you in your seat better than my 5.4 can.

 

Your fx4 came stock with 4.10s? The only trucks I know of that ford put 4.10 in was the single cab long bed 2wds Like ak cowboys or the svt raptor ...what year is your truck?

 

My brother has a Titan and I will say that it feels more powerful from a dead stop but I just think its all in the way the power is applied. Rear-end gearing(Titans 4.10:1 to F-150 3.73:1), Trans gearing and the titans stock electric fan vs. the F-150 stock mechanical cooling fan all have to play into it. If both trucks were set up the same way the outcome would probably be non bias.

 

What speed trans does the Titan have ? I know the 04-08 f-150 had a 4speed and the power (speed wise ) always died after it hit 2nd gear but my 09 with the 6speed seems alot faster threw all gears

 

got an 06 FX4 20" rims, tow package and 410 gears stock from factory

 

5-speed RE505A in the Nissan, I'm not sure of the ratios for each gear. The F150 has a 4R75E with 1st: 2.84 2nd: 1.55 3rd: 1.00 4th: 0.70 ratios. It's pretty easy to see once it goes into 1:1 why it isn't a speed demon.
