I'm stuck between...
- F-150
- V8 Titan
- V8 Tundra
Which is better a V8 or a Hemi. I'm looking for power, prolly in a few years looking to get a boat and a jet ski, and want to be able to pull them.

F-150 No doubt...thats the reason they are the best selling truck for 30 years in the U.S. and the best selling vehicle in the world, on a yearly basis.
Take a look at the link provided and it compared the F-150 with all other trucks. Shows how the frame compares to the competition, etc. Did you know the new Tundra has a "C" Channel frame which is whimpy compared to the others? I also loved Toyota's spin when they said the reason the body panel gaps were wide, because it makes it look more butch...in reality, manufacturer's do that when their structure isn't very sturdy, which is proven with the "C" Channel frame. And because of that, the interior is not nearly as quiet as the F-150 which set the benchmark for interior quietness and material quality.
The Titan isn't selling anywhere according to their original projections of 100K, it's selling at around 80K. It's been plagued by reliability/quality issues. Anything from the Canton Miss. plant where it's built, is rated as the lowest in reliability. This includes the Quest, and Armada which are also built there.
But take a look at the link, it's a bunch of "videos' which describe all aspects of what makes the F-150 better than it's competition.
Hope this helps :)

None of the trucks you've listed have a hemi, that's strictly a mopar thing, (and by the way, the hemi is a V8.) At any rate, my money would be with the Titan. Great reliabilty, and they are built really stout. The ford is a great truck as well however, and parts will be relatively cheap. The toyota is actually probably the most reliable of the bunch, i just can't stand the look of them from the back.

The F 150 for sure. BTW, the Titan has the worst reliability ratings, and the Tundra is all hype. By the time you pay for all the extras, including the engine they advertise the most, you mar as well pay for a Lincoln Mark LT. The tundra 4.7 is the volume engine, and the ford volume engine is the 5.4, and it kills the 4.7. Under load, the F150 has better braking distances, despite Toyota bigger & more expensive rotors(wait till you have to replace them), and not to mention, the Tundra has an awful ride, so save your back and stay clear of the Tundra or Turdra!

Ford, with out question, is the best in that group. There is a reason its been the best selling truck for so many years. You would be better off trying to decide between a Ford or a Chevy. Forget the Jap trucks, they just cant compete. On top of that, the new Tundra is just so incredibly ugly.
Gary K very clearly misinformed about Ford trucks.

Ford. The best selling truck for 30 years. Look at the Tundra commercial with it pulling the load, at the end of the commercial there are a couple of Ford trucks the contractors used to built the ramp for the commercial.

I can't believe somebody thinks any of those pickup truck commercials are real.There so fake it's pain full. I would not recommend any of the ones you have on your list especially the Ford. My friend makes most of his money constantly fixing ford trucks,
