I test drove them all… Silverado lacked cab room and power. Tundra was nice but known to have electrical problems/tranny problems etc etc. I don’t buy Fords! Ever!.. Not a Dodge guy either.

317 HP  
385 TQ  
Lots of room  
9500 lbs towing  
2000 lbs cargo

It’s a win/win

My brother has an older Titan V8 w/ ext. cab and it’s definitely not bad. He’s had a few issues with his, but just small shit.

The most I would tow is the Z with a dual axle trailer with elec brakes, the boat & a trailer with 3 jet skis on it & one in the bed. It’s overkill really!.. 🙂

But it will be nice compared to my '08 crew cab, long bed frontier. Hell they gave me 23K on trade for it. It was time to part ways with it while the value is still high.

I stuck with the same color. Another smoke/storm grey truck. Hell if I get bored with it, I can always swap the 5.6L into the Z with FI down the road. It’s been done several times already.

I took out a loaded 5.3L king cab & crew cab @ DeNooyer.

Had no exhaust tone, little torque/acceleration power, rough ride. The dual climate control was nice. No rear power window or defogger. All optional on top of the convenience package, ZR1 package etc etc.

They were willing to deal. I just didn’t like the truck as much as the Titan.

I’m not interested in buying a diesel, ever! I had a 2010 Ford E350 & hated it. Loudest mofo I have drove. Not looking to have the baddest ass truck out there! This will be great for my needs. I’ll get some Nitto or Toyo MT’s for it, exhaust, CAI, HFC’s, tune & call it a day.
