2004 Ford F150 or 2004 Nissan Titan

Hello I was wondering what would be a better truck for a daily driver and for pulling my jetski and motorcycle. Both would be fully loaded with anywhere from 40-50,000 miles. Which one gets better gas? All that stuff. Thanks

You don't say what engines they have, but if the Ford has a 300 6cyl. it should get somewhere around 17 to 19 MPG, A V/8 Ford would get about 13 to 15 MPG depends on gearing and if it's a 4x4 or two wheel drive. Fords are pretty tough trucks. I've never had a Nissan, so I can't tell you anything about them.

dude, it dont matter, ford is always the better choice over an import imo, but if you want better mileage, imports are better. fords will last longer than an import, but imports are better for anyhting that has to do with mileage. fords hold up, and can haul more. thats what i think, i could be rong, but you cant beat a ford.

If your comparing apples to apples your prolly gona end up with same mileage either way. THe best thing to do is check out consumer reports and find out what people complaints are for the particular models you are looking at. I backround check of each vehicle would be helpful as well in case one has been smashed up.

Excellent point. CARFAX used car VIN number search, auto history check, vehicle history reports can be very very helpful.. People in general are pathelogical liars when it comes to selling their cars, trust me, it is what i do for a living...LOL.... they will hide the negative and pump the positive to make as much money as possible. So checking for a vehicle history is very important and should be done on any vehicle you, or anyone for that matter, would ever consider buying.
