I was also a GM guy before I bought the Titan. Other than a couple minor quirks and cosmetic issues it has been a good truck. The towing capability of this truck is awesome. I've never had a truck that pulls like this one. Ride is another key element to the Titan. Now frame shake when you hit a quick bump like my other GM trucks. Hope this helps.

Allot more power down low? When i go to this site:

  http://www.new-cars.com/2002/chevrolet/chevrolet-silverado.h tml

I see 300 HP from the 6.0 liter engine (!) lots of cubes eh,and 360 ft lbs of torque. Am interested in which engine config you had to say the Titan needs more low end power..... 

Are you trolling for flames (only 3 posts) or does the Silerado have that more low end. I wonder because both figures , HP and torque are very near the same... with the edge of course going to the Nissan.

Msolds,

Please go and do a back to back comparo just to satisfy yourself brother. I have all good intentions with my reply to brokoli, its just that the niumbers are so close i just dont see the GM having allot more down low. It is possible i guess, as I have never driven a GM and am sure that they are nice in their own right. Its personal preference as you know.

Let us know what you decide ok?

My first post:

I have to agree on the power band issue.  The pushrod V-8's will make peak torque around 2100 to 3000 RPM's.  That is much sooner than our DOHC V-8 which peeks around 3600 to 4000 RPM's.
