Read the report and it will tell you why the Dodge and Ford were excluded. Better yet I'll tell you. The titan had already won the test against the Ford and dodge and they had not been improved upon.since that test. In other words, the current models would not place in the comparo.
Then go test drive the trucks. No need to read.
Toyota does not do a lot of price war stuff. They don't do a lot of fleet sales at deep discounts like Ford, GM and D/Chrysler. The big truck market is finally set for a show-down. I don't think there are going to be any more players, not Honda, Mazda or the Koreans. Now that the players are set it's going to be interesting. Toyota has finally arrived and GM has played a very good card. Dodge has what I think is the best engine but needs the Allison transmission. GM and Ford diesels have their supporters but I'd perfer the Cummins. Nissan and Toyota don't have diesels but are capable of filling that gap anytime they choose to do it. The best card to play for Ford and Dodge is price. Anyhow, the game is a-foot, and all our predictions will be wrong, so here's mine. In ten years, game over, Toyota wins.
If it weren't for testing the outer limits of a truck's power and handling, no improvements would have been made other than cosmetic in the last 100 years. My dad's 82 Silverado is easily overshadowed by a new Silverado because of testing and finding fault with current designs. Powerplants and suspension systems are what they are today because of testing like this. I wouldn't want my 2006 Nissan Frontier to acclerate or handle like a 1984 Nissan pickup, so they're welcome to burn all the rubber they want in the name of progress.
I hear they're having a nissan titan diesel to come out soon?
1sttruck, If you're like my brother he really likes his Dodge with that Cummins engine. He's really just driving a Cummins engine. The brand of truck wrapped around it is less important. He made the statement to me, after seeing the new Tundra that he would rather have a new Chevy with the Cummins engine and an Allison transmission.
It's going to be interesting, watching how the new Tundra does over the rest of this year.
