900???? i coulda sworn it was 9800...perhaps that was just me. anywho, i dont remeber who posted the titan as a "bandwagon" but i dont think i'd lump a nissan pickup into any kind of bandwagon.

 

I meant 9600# as an option

 

Graves my friend, there is much about the specs on a Titan you are unaware of. Also, the 5.4 specs i quoted you came from the GSM i know down at Freedom. He reconfirmed the specs with the fleet manager there for me.


I can see why one would want to compare Ford's larger v-8 to Nissans standard v-8, but either way you look at it the power plant comes up short for Ford. The reason i used the 4.6 for Ford is because that is the entry level engine as standard, where as the Titan's power plant is standard on all models.

When one compares things to each other it should be apples to apples or better yet standard to standard. And no, its not like comparing a civic to a vette, you are just grasping at things now.

 

You are correct. The website says 9600 but it is actually 9800. That's why i told Graves there are many specs on the Titan he does not realize yet. Nissan actually underates the majority of their products and not all the info on their website(or fords for that matter) is up to date. That is why i called the GSM(a friend of mine) at Freedom Ford to use the correct specs on the vehicles along with a Ford training manual on the F150 that we all got a copy of at the Titan training. Ford normally trains their personel on the correct specs but sometimes gets a bit eager to inflate some numbers, such as on the website.

 

Another interesting tid bit on the powerplants of these trucks, which is very important of you are to use your truck for towing or offroading.

Ford
4.6ltr: 232hp @ 4750 and 291tq @ 3450
5.4tlr: 260hp @ 4500 and 350tq @ 2500

Nissan
5.6ltr 305hp @ 4900
379tq @ 3600<-here's the kicker, 80% of that tq is availible
@ 1000rpm with 90% being availible before 2500rpm.


So in other words the ford v-8's don't have as much low down grunt and run out of steam up top.

These are 2003 specs before Ford decided to change the power train ratings, as i do not know the 04 specs.

 

caveat: the comparasions above were made by the standard entry 4x4 for both manufacturer's.

 

damn bro, when you prove a point, you make one hell of an endeavour! do you have a magazine i could subscribe to?

 

It's still a Nissan thought! j/k

 

Eh, to each there own.



Remember this guys when his Ford is on the side of the road or stuck in mud, just crawl on through. J/K

 

Hey back in the day I had a Datsun..... guess you could say I owned one. Too bad it didn't pull shizit.
