The research here was based on owner interviews, road tests, and independent study. As far as the owners response goes, the Nissan Titan is a runner-up for mans best friend. Most of the owners seem to feel that the overall response in both handling and performance (acceleration and braking) are better than any truck they've previously owned and a few of our respondents were also Toyota Tundra owners as well. Complaints were registered about the overall noise of the truck, specifically the exhaust and the off-road vibrational sounds from the chassis. The general consensus is that the Nissan Titan is an agile and well balanced blend of work truck and sport truck.

Toyota's Tundra Limited 4x4 Double-Cab is a bit more on the serious side of the work ethic. With a longer bed, nearly a foot longer, has taller bed sides, and Toyota's super-quiet TRD suspension and chassis. Nissan's Titan does win out on towing with a capacity thats 2,000 pounds greater than Toyota's Tundra. The fit and finish of the Toyota Tundra is tighter and it most certainly wins out in the interior department, with big roomy leather seating, tons of storage space, and drop down bins. This a well done work truck made better by the Toyota process of product refinement through listening to its customers.

Considerations should primarily be for the use of the vehicle. A contractor of any sort will apprieciate the smart storage options, longer bed, and sheer muscle. However the Toyota's slightly intrusive stability control and the extra $5,000 might make the Nissan's non-leather seating and shorter bed much more inviting.
