Just about some facts about the body of those trucks, which is a very important factor.....
I've read a test about the torsional properties, it consisted in apply certain amount of force to the bare body of all tthe full size pick ups, and the results were.....
Dodge Ram 1 inch
Ford F-150 0.5 inch
Chevrolet Silverado 2.5 inches
Toyota Tundra 6 inches!!!!
(obviously less torsion is the best)

And besides, Im in love with my Ram Hemi engine, that was one of the most important things that I considered when I was looking for my truck, I've already drove the Nissan Titan and doesnt feel well, I think that was developed for granny drivers. In the Titan you dont sense the Hp they say it have, diferent thing with the ram.

Go ahead, buy the Titan. I or the other TRUE American truck drivers will tow you when you break down for sure. That's a certainty.
I am a Titan owner, and it doesnt bother me one bit that you all think they are ugly as looks is very subjective. Of course you arent going to find to many Ram owners that think their truck is ugly...they bought one! I do take offense that you think that drivers of Titan are less "American or patriotic" than if we bought one from the big 3. Let me inform you something, I was born and raised it the US and am serving it proudly in the USAF for over 12 years and counting. What have YOU done to prove you're a "true" American truck driver (as you put it)?

You put it backwards, we do not think that the Ram is a good looking because we bought it, but we bought it because we liked how it looks, personally I think that is the most intimidating truck in the market, and has the best engine of its class, so... the choice is not difficult. The Titan is an ugly POS, and it seem small side by side with a Ram.

Who says it has the best engine in its class? Last time I checked busted valve springs doesnt qualify as a good thing. Titan may be ugly, but is the furthest from a POS. I think a good definition of POS would a brand new vehicle that leaves you stranded, kinda like some of those Hemi owners that had that exact thing happen to them (not bashing, just putting things in perspective)!
You other statement about the Titan "seems" small compared to the Ram. Check the numbers there are within 1" in all exterior dimensions.
Lets get down to what they are for, being trucks. The Titan has a greater payload capacity, and MUCH great towing capacity! If you want to argue speed, I really dont care because it is a truck. Though I have a Z28 that would be more than happy to oblige you.
