Re: [A/S] Towing with a Titan?




hello folks,
  interesting discussion on the tow vehicles. i have been all Fords until 
2001. i have had an and still have a 1989 f150 but when i bought a '99 i 
found it was a light weight. i was hit by a hail storm in west texas when it 
was less than 30 days old and it sustained $2700 in damage. we say it was 
jinxed because we had several other situations with it. i do think ford has 
moved to put the f150 back in the full size truck catagory and next time out 
shopping i will consider it. the titan will also be looked at, as well as 
chevy, gmc and dodge. when i got fed up with the '99 f150 i bought a tundra. 
i added timbren springs to the front and rear and i am pleased with it so 
far. however i feel that it too is a midsize pick-up truck. i have seen the 
ads and the stats for the new toyota tacoma and they are closing in on the 
tundra's stats. that indicates to me that toyota may have something big under 
development. i have no schedule to buy now and i eagerly await the next few 
years'
 indroductions. good luck, jeff.
