Those who have comparison info between the '07/'08 Tundra vs. Titan. What would be your pick and why? On the older models I would definitely go Titan, but everything I've heard about the new Tundra's sounds pretty impressive.

Tundra or Titan?

I own a 2005 Titan and have to say that it's one of the best vehicles I've ever owned. Mileage is respectable if I don't drive it like a hot rod (I can get 20MPG if I'm careful). Power is extremely good, handling and ride are very good and the seats are comfortable. Overall I've been very impressed, and I've now driven it 82,000 miles. Routine maintenance is all that's been required.
Things that could use improvement: The door design causes a bunch of wind noise in STRONG cross winds.
The exterior mirrors have started to rattle in the last 5000 miles (truck now has 106K on it)
Other than those small issues it's an outstanding vehicle and I would buy another one.

I had similar experiences with my old Tundra.
All in all, I think it's really a matter of personal preference. Drive both and see which one you like better. Both are great trucks.

You can't really go wrong with a Toyota, they last forever!
Both of these trucks are built in America.

What I don't understand is how GM, Ford, and Mopar can't afford to keep factories open, and the cars/trucks they designed are built out of the country cheaper then would be here, and Toyota is expanding and opening up new facilities and Americans are building these cars/trucks. WTF!
It's really all about unionization and the pension payables in the big 3's future. Toyota has been extremely successful in keeping the unions out of their business.
The big 3 have future pension and medical care payments that are staggering and have to keep either their costs low or their profits high to overcome the future payables. (overhead). They have been extremely unsuccessful in having a reasonable profit margin, so have to reduce the size of the workforce and the infrastructure in order to keep costs low.
Say what you want about Unions, I know they have served a purpose, but they are presently killing both the auto and the airline industries in our country.

nice. Actually I just sold my piece of America that I owned since 02' It was a great truck, but diesels are cranky on cold mornings and with fuel prices where they are now it just makes more sense to go w/ something a bit smaller that uses gas. It won't be as much fun to drive or have the power, but I don't own a big trailer and the trade will be worth it. I'm ready for that new car smell and I don't think that an F150/Ram 1500/GM 6.0 have what I'm looking for even though they are all decent.

I didn't drive the Titan but sat in it, but I did the Tundra and I REALLY liked the CrewMax with the 5.7L V8. Suh WHEET! Great motor. the only drawback is a non-mechanical locking rear diff like the GM/Chivvy has.

And then some. If you turn the fuel up all the way it will stop both lanes of traffic on the highway. I like the crewmax also. Tough decision. I believe the crewmax actually has a bit lower tow weight rating vs. the regular extended cab, but I do like the 5.7L
Like scott said,
I have an 06 LE and LOVE it. Awesome power and there are some mods out there that are pretty simple/easy/cheap.
As for MPG - 12.5-14 city depending on foot, and I have gotten 18/19 mpg on highway, but 16.5 average.
Just go get another Cummins(the new 6.7L is badass) dude. Believe me, you'll thank yourself in the long run and have a way better truck as well. If you ever do get something that is heavy or big, you'll be chuckin all the way home when you romp on the Cummins.
but if you have to have one of the weenie trucks. Get the Tundra, looks tough and has a stout motor. Plus have you looked at the rear end and axle on the Titan. Looks like two #2 pencils poked into a tennis ball. It just strikes me as weaksauce.
As far as fuel prices are concerned with the tumble of fuel prices now, it would only be in your best interest to get another Diesel. If the prices stay where they are, several in the Wall Street Journal are expecting us to stay in the 70's for a barrel of oil well into next year(even during summer, they're betting on drastic slowdown in demand). Even if OPEC decides to quit producing, they demand is very low now.
What's the Diesel prices in Denver now?? Here in Colorado Springs, cheapest I've found is $3.35(as of today) and in Woodland Park, it's around $3.15 a gallon. Gas here has also hit the $2.60ish territory.
That's not that great for fuel mileage in town. Highway is down too. Depends on your mods and your driving though.
My Silverado with duals, CAI gets between 15-19mpg in town. I've never gotten much of a highway figure for it, only places I've really gone are out East and to Denver. I easily get into the low 20's with it. All this and not driving like a grandpa, but driving conservatively.
Which is why I've wanted a diesel(mainly Cummins) for so long. I know guys with stock Cummins getting 18-21mpg in town. Only Duramax I know of that gets good my friends 01, he's got it chipped, CAI and exhaust. In economy mode he can manage 22-23mpg in town.
Downside to diesel are the maintenance cost and fuel prices tend to be .40 to .60 cents higher then 91 octane, which is a real bummer.
