    I like the Titans/Armadas/QX56's but I have never heard of anyone getting 22MPG out of them. That is pretty impressive.

      No More talk about the Titans or Toyota trucks. I have been looking at them, and the wife is getting nervous.

        I get that when I am not pulling anything. When I pulled my boat back to Utah last October I averaged 14 pulling the boat and the best I was able to get was 16. That was traveling 65 70 MPH pulling the boat. I never thought I would buy a Foreign full size turck but they have gained my confidence.

          Hmm...that's amazing, almost unbelievable man......I get 18 on the highway and 9-11 towing my 24Ve and I'm towing with a Tahoe. Did not realize that the Titan got such good gas mileage.

          I know for a fact that the QX56's get nowhere near that mileage. I've rented plenty of them for business and I average about 11mpg on the freeway towing NOTHING! Those things are gas hogs

            Kscales,

            You'll love the interior of the Lariat.... that's the one thing I do like about this truck...lol. If you can swing it, get the sunroof with the power sliding rear window. It's nice on those evening drive homes from the lake. Open the sunroof and crack the back glass, and you get a nice breeze blowing through. No need for A/C.
            Being a major OU fan and a staunch conservative.... I am perpetually vexed w/ the conundrum of who to hate more. Obama or the Univ. of Saxet.

              Diesel still better

              I still think Diesel is the best way to go though. If I could find 60,000 I would go with a diesel. Nissan is supposed to be comming out with a Diesel some time soon, Rumor is it will have a 18,000 Lbs. tow capacity. We will see. It must me a dulley with Semi tires on it or somthing.

                noticed you were in bakersfield. Just go take dom's truck. He is probably posting right now.
                Do you think Matt should give out awards for most post and other things?

                  I used Domz truck for my sons sience project on Bio Diesel. Man his truck has a high pitch wine when it is warming up. Besides it used to take 15 minutes to fill up the fuel tank. I think he has that fixed now.

                          Ford is coming out with a new V6 diesel this spring/fall for the there 150. Also the rumor is a bit of a facelift for the current F150 to compete with the new GMC/Chevy.

                          I am not sure what I am going to do, wait for the new version and options or buy now... The smaller diesel is interesting as the rumors are the torque will be well more then the current 5.4.

                          Talk about the market heating up.
