You are using the offroad version of the Titan, the Pro-4x, but the standard versions off the other models. How about next time, use the F150 FX4, the Silverado Z71, and the Tundra TRD Offroad for a fair test.
+Jacob Sparks at this point in time, Dodge wasn't making making an offer road pick up truck besides a plain 4x4 model. not even the RamRunner. The Power Wagon might very been available, I'm not too sure. but that's a 2500 model not your average 1500. eith either way, a Raptor would've beat all of these trucks easily... according to TFL Truck and other reviewers. lol
My bad, just saw the F150 with them on too. The Tit owns offroad. Best ground clearance of its class with 10.7in. All the others have only 8.5in or less. A couple of inches make a difference.
The Sierra has an equipment package called "The All Terrain" it's above the Z71 a little bit. One of the upgrades is Rancho suspension from factory, so ya, it was stock Rancho shocks.
My friend's TRD off road Tundra came stock with the side steps. If it's an off road package than they should either give it more height or not give it the side steps. When parked next to my other friends stock Nissan, you deffinitely notice that the Nissan is not only higher off the ground but it's a smooth well protected undercarriage.
I have 2010 Tundra 4WD with 9000 miles on it. Has had no issue at all. Ride is awesome. Nissan looks like a nice truck but I question how it will hold up in 5 or 6 years.
I'd agree but they have them on the F150 as well, and you fail to realize that the side bars on the Tundra provided a damper, preventing it from bottoming the chassis out on said obstacles.
ic, yea were planning on goin up there for my birthday and doin some fishin and hanging out it should be fun, but now we need to get passports to go to canada so that sucks
@UNENCUMBERED1 it all depends on the truck man, if you have auto locking hubs, both 4 high and 4low will lock the hubs up, and pretty much any truck on the market wont have front and rear lockers so all 4 wheels wont spin, just the wheels with the least amount of traction thats what a open diff is all about, also the transmission will still shift out of 1st gear in low, you can get all the way threw the gears if you need to
I own a 2011 Titan sv. And I have owned several ford and Chevy trucks as well. All were 4x4. The Titan by far will out tow, out off-road, and outrun all others. It’s like driving a hot rod straight out of the factory! Best on the market in my opinion.
@codyshmody yeah because the other trucks had enough power to drive over them with little throttle, the you had to floor the F150 just to get it over that pole.
Seems interesting that the Titan did so well here and was awful on the traction test. And you cant say anything about the Ford cause the guy didn't hit the poles strait on as in the other trucks.
The Silverado does amazing down hill. I crawled down a slick clay mountain in heavy rain before in four low first gear and it never went over 3mph. Never had to touch the brakes. My pitch meter was around 30 the whole way down.
Incase anyone didn't know... Every truck has there own thing that they can do better than the other.. so stop yelling at each other. I drive a 2006 Chevy 3500 and it works fine.. had a 1998 3500 dodge turbo Cummins (which i still have and its a mad power house) and they both worked great never had a problem with any of them. With Ford trucks.. I know a lot of people and see them all the time on job sites working/ towing huge loads/ getting muddy and everything.. they are all good trucks.
the raptor is a baja truck, it has suspension that can take jumps no other car can, ride height like no other stock car, tyre's so huge that it doesn't even need deflating. it is a full on raw offloading car. I'm not saying other cars suck. it also matters who's the driver. in offroading the most experienced will dominate
@UNENCUMBERED1 well hold on a second now, posi traction is a locked diff, what your talking about is a limited slip diff, thats most likely what your truck has, most full sized trucks do have that, second, down hill crawls is all about 4 lo, now it might not be so effective in a auto trans but if you drive stick first gear will keep it under 5 miles per hour, using your brakes always helps to but your engine should keep the speed down on its own
if there gunna test "equal" trucks then how about take the step side off the tundra and ford? since it didnt have enough ground clearing room to get over a telephone pole. and no shit the titans the best at going up the gravle hill...it has the extreme off road pack on it.
iam a chev fan to, im a bit uninpressed by the new model chev's they seem more for city drivers then actual 4x4 use in the back country . but your right tazzy when your 4xing, nobodys stock and i definitly would not bring one of these trucks mudding or in the woods. prolly 2grand for just the front clip alone on one of those new trucks
@sirhcskoorb why it rains more? simple... the heat is melting the ice caps and causing more water to flow causing the clouds to absorb more water causing rain to occur... that pretty much explains that...
hell yea, lol, but that truck is a a generation ahead of any other. i sat in one the other day, freakin awesome. Its got an on/off road swithch and a tow switch, witch just changes the suspension, but from in cab
same exact suspension taken out from a baja truck almost the same ride height and it can do the same track as a baja stock and survive. so ya it is basically a baja truck made for civilian use.
My bad, just saw the F150 had them too.. The Tit owns! Best ground clearance of any light duty truck. 10.7 in. whereas all the other trucks have 8.5in or less...
I would suggest you get your transfer case looked, or possible your transmission, at then cause there is obviously something wrong with it. Everything with a low range setting that i've been in has significant engine braking in low range, including an f150, an expedition,a Toyota 4 runner and our 650 quad.
i would definitely lift the tundra before taking if offroad. they should make them sit higher from the factory. they sure have strong engine though. the 4.7 is pretty tough surprisingly.. hahaha
on some of the trucks there are step bars so of course ur gona scrape you dont go offroad with frikin step bars on ur truck , they catch on allot of stuff and get ruined easy
actually no it looks new with no rust, and the doors are the way they've always been its been an excellent truck and takes abuse with out having to repair it all the time
Now this is a cool video, much better than those pointless videos of one truck pulling another. And to think, I almost bought a 2007 Nissan Titan, but the one I was looking at was 2wd. Instead I got a 2007 F150 4wd, awesome truck (after 3.5" level and bigger tires), got stuck once going up a hill, frame bottomed out at the top and I was pulled put but an F450 dump truck, lol.
@automotiveDIY why? because the toyota and nissan are foreign owned companies? pretty sure their plants that build those two trucks that were tested are built stateside....what about the "american" ones? are they? last I checked the american companies have their plants in canada and/or mexico....
it's not getting up it that I was questioning, it was the fact that in the other trucks they stopped while going down the log, but the Ford they didn't, just kept the gas on.
I still think the F series are the best trucks period, it's the truck that will last the longest and just the toughest of them all and you get to pick from 150 to 650, super duty, king ranch, Lariat!
@FarmHand1500Ram Ignoring the fact that it's titled as such, if it wasn't too blatantly obvious by the trucks involved in the test, this is a HALF-TON shootout. A Ram 2500 is not a half-ton truck.
@Roger4940 Hmm thought this was a HALF TON TRUCK shoot out video. And if your saying the h1, then yes its better for slow off road, H2 is useless even on the street.
my chev has 322,642 km's (im canadian) its still runs strong. its an 89'. and my freind dad bought a new toyota. it isnt bad but i still dont think ppl should be cheering it on cause i dont c wats so great bout it. my chev out hauls new fords while the toyota does the same. which is good, but seriously w.e truck u like is the truck u buy.
@jamesf350drw I just watched the loaded quarter mile, which the Tundra won, and the loaded hill climb, where the Toyota came in second. I don't think that's quite "garbage" when it's beating Dodge, Ford, and GM in some tests.
they clearly used different drivers in every vehicle, which would in turn make the test data inaccurate. Look at how fast the ford went over the poles vs the sierra...NOT to mention all the trucks that had clearance issues had nerf bars (assist steps) on them that took away at least 3 inches of clearance off the body that bottom out
it depends too on how much off road you want. my ford only does dirt roads not rock crawls. its good for what i use it for but mods are needed for any truck if you want to get realllllly deep in the shit
You are using the offroad version of the Titan, the Pro-4x, but the standard versions off the other models. How about next time, use the F150 FX4, the Silverado Z71, and the Tundra TRD Offroad for a fair test.
+Jacob Sparks at this point in time, Dodge wasn't making making an offer road pick up truck besides a plain 4x4 model. not even the RamRunner.

Praedyth The Lost they were making the ram runner though
Squeezy truuuueeeee.. I forgot all about it lmao. also the trx4 which.. is really not all that off road capable lol
cj graber and also I don’t know if you noticed but all the other trucks went head on onto the logs but the titan got to do it at a certain angle
They used the Z71
My bad, just saw the F150 with them on too. The Tit owns offroad. Best ground clearance of its class with 10.7in. All the others have only 8.5in or less. A couple of inches make a difference.
thanks i have a 96 silverado with a 350 and that thing has over 220000 on her and still running strong without any problems, i love my chevy
The Sierra has an equipment package called "The All Terrain" it's above the Z71 a little bit. One of the upgrades is Rancho suspension from factory, so ya, it was stock Rancho shocks.
I like how everyone on youtube has the most badass truck out there... cant prove how amazing your truck is with a keyboard....
i have a gmc sierra and have never had a problem putting it in different gear ratios
My friend's TRD off road Tundra came stock with the side steps. If it's an off road package than they should either give it more height or not give it the side steps. When parked next to my other friends stock Nissan, you deffinitely notice that the Nissan is not only higher off the ground but it's a smooth well protected undercarriage.
yeah they used all the other offroad/sport packages on the other trucks, the Fx4 has all the offroad options and everything.
I really like the looks of the Sierra the best I think. Not to mention it did ok in the test. F-150 would be nice too but would have to be the FX4.
I have 2010 Tundra 4WD with 9000 miles on it. Has had no issue at all. Ride is awesome. Nissan looks like a nice truck but I question how it will hold up in 5 or 6 years.
yea man thatd be sweet, i looked it up i guess its in waldhof, ontario if u know where that is
I'd agree but they have them on the F150 as well, and you fail to realize that the side bars on the Tundra provided a damper, preventing it from bottoming the chassis out on said obstacles.
yeah i know do you think this will affect me??? cause i got mine last year july 08 and still paying for it
I think it all boils down to this: get something you like to drive, know its capabilities, know its limits, and know how to drive it
Look at how fast and ruff they took the F150 over the logs compared to the rest. No wonder it hit the darn things.
nice, next year me and my family r planning on going up to ontario ever heard of cedar point lodges
was this make by nissan or did i here him wrong when he said the titan was the best
The silverado didn't have z71 package on it, and sierra did and they made it seem like the sierra had 'stock' rancho shocks
whats 4 high and 4 low please explain thanks
What is it that the Ford truck has under it @ 2:28 that takes a hit? Differential? Please reply
no, was designed as a "pre-runner" type truck
@colanarky12 almost the same truck shocks and gearing and TQ is different.
ic, yea were planning on goin up there for my birthday and doin some fishin and hanging out it should be fun, but now we need to get passports to go to canada so that sucks
@skater96x the transfer case has 2 different range of gearing. High for higher speed and low for maximum power at a low speed.
@Spencer050 are you saying ford is shit? cuz im pretty sure there last longer than chevys and they dont need a bailout
@lowriderkillers alright thats great but in the end the profit is going to a foreign company not american
@rebeldude1865 what about the diffs? there still going to get beat
@traxxasfreak1995 how much hp dose it have in the tundra and torque
the f150 hit it way faster than other trucks that why it hit the ground
That shit must of hurt poor truck ford and chevy all the way
chevy is isuzu
You guys should of used the FX4 ?
@GoldenMonkeyJosh You didn't watch the video... take into mind that they said the titan was the best overall truck for the test...
@colanarky12 sierra is a 1/2 ton and silverado goes from 1/2 to 1 ton.
The tundra had step bars and none of the others did lol thats why it didnt do very well
Why have i done all of this with my 05 silverado with no problem though?
They should do the 2014 all terrain sierra ,ford f150 fx4 , dodge power wagon , tundra trd , good for me
@sirhcskoorb so explain why 4 years ago it barely broke 95deg and now its always 100+?
No, that's what low range is for. On a really steep hill with limited traction you don't want to use the brakes.
ok so the titan has a convienant switch, extra half inch ground clearance, and a low gear ration transfer case. There is more to test than that.
@UNENCUMBERED1 it all depends on the truck man, if you have auto locking hubs, both 4 high and 4low will lock the hubs up, and pretty much any truck on the market wont have front and rear lockers so all 4 wheels wont spin, just the wheels with the least amount of traction thats what a open diff is all about, also the transmission will still shift out of 1st gear in low, you can get all the way threw the gears if you need to

super cool video, great editing and shooting!
I would use the ram for long highway hauls. and use the titan as a desert runner.
@sirhcskoorb if there is not global warming then why is it getting hotter every year? can you explain that?
@codyshmody yeah because the other trucks had enough power to drive over them with little throttle, the you had to floor the F150 just to get it over that pole.
@1badpete999 if you put the raptor in there you have to put the power wagon in there
You guys should make a new half ton shoot out since these trucks have newer engines, transmissions, etc...
@bamfan2044 so if its made in canada is it canadian?
Lets meet up and we can go head to head and see whos truck is better at hauling/towing.
@andychiassin nissan did the same thing and had plenty of room... they also needed more throttle to get over the pole...
Seems interesting that the Titan did so well here and was awful on the traction test. And you cant say anything about the Ford cause the guy didn't hit the poles strait on as in the other trucks.
im only 16 so dont talk shit but whats the difference between 4 high and 4 low like what do the two modes do different
The Silverado does amazing down hill. I crawled down a slick clay mountain in heavy rain before in four low first gear and it never went over 3mph. Never had to touch the brakes. My pitch meter was around 30 the whole way down.
@rebel390 so what do you call those on the F150?
you have to set the e brake for 4 lo on chevy's
Incase anyone didn't know... Every truck has there own thing that they can do better than the other.. so stop yelling at each other. I drive a 2006 Chevy 3500 and it works fine.. had a 1998 3500 dodge turbo Cummins (which i still have and its a mad power house) and they both worked great never had a problem with any of them.

I'm not saying other cars suck. it also matters who's the driver. in offroading the most experienced will dominate
Yo guys have a playground there. I wanna try some of that in 2WD.
@UNENCUMBERED1 well hold on a second now, posi traction is a locked diff, what your talking about is a limited slip diff, thats most likely what your truck has, most full sized trucks do have that, second, down hill crawls is all about 4 lo, now it might not be so effective in a auto trans but if you drive stick first gear will keep it under 5 miles per hour, using your brakes always helps to but your engine should keep the speed down on its own

@sirhcskoorb why it rains more? simple... the heat is melting the ice caps and causing more water to flow causing the clouds to absorb more water causing rain to occur... that pretty much explains that...
You have to put the gm trucks in neutral to go to 4low
I think all trucks require being in neutral to shift into 4 low. Not for sure though.
@MrKoocanusa this was made in 2008..the raptor certainly wasn't out yet
@TheBcKush420 I know...... I have no idea why they put the Sierra and the Silverado in the same test and expect different results.
hell yea, lol, but that truck is a a generation ahead of any other. i sat in one the other day, freakin awesome. Its got an on/off road swithch and a tow switch, witch just changes the suspension, but from in cab
@Roger4940 H2 is a silverado frame, don't argue with me either, I work at my uncles mechanic shop.
Anyone notice that the only truck without hitting the telephone pole is the titan because it didn't have side steps or nerf bars?
same exact suspension taken out from a baja truck almost the same ride height and it can do the same track as a baja stock and survive. so ya it is basically a baja truck made for civilian use.
My bad, just saw the F150 had them too.. The Tit owns! Best ground clearance of any light duty truck. 10.7 in. whereas all the other trucks have 8.5in or less...
I was actually meaning the fx4, which has a suspension package an a locker. Not a purpose built off road performance truck.
@bamfan2044
Well then, what are the requirements?
I would suggest you get your transfer case looked, or possible your transmission, at then cause there is obviously something wrong with it. Everything with a low range setting that i've been in has significant engine braking in low range, including an f150, an expedition,a Toyota 4 runner and our 650 quad.
i would definitely lift the tundra before taking if offroad. they should make them sit higher from the factory. they sure have strong engine though. the 4.7 is pretty tough surprisingly.. hahaha
do this with all the newer trucks
what i dont get is why they only put runner boards on the tundra
about 240,000 miles, every thing still works right down to the power windows lol, is a awesome truck
on some of the trucks there are step bars so of course ur gona scrape you dont go offroad with frikin step bars on ur truck , they catch on allot of stuff and get ruined easy
actually no it looks new with no rust, and the doors are the way they've always been its been an excellent truck and takes abuse with out having to repair it all the time
Now this is a cool video, much better than those pointless videos of one truck pulling another. And to think, I almost bought a 2007 Nissan Titan, but the one I was looking at was 2wd.

my girls titan cant dream to keep up with my z71. not to mention her titan is TEN YEARS NEWER
@automotiveDIY why? because the toyota and nissan are foreign owned companies? pretty sure their plants that build those two trucks that were tested are built stateside....what about the "american" ones? are they? last I checked the american companies have their plants in canada and/or mexico....
hell yeah!!! my truck is the best!!! Pro-4x all the way!!!
i would still pick the tundra(becaus it is a toyota). u lift it and but biger tires under it
damn that was a hard hit with the f150, the f150 is my favourte of these trucks. it does make me think about offroading, nice nissan though.
it's not getting up it that I was questioning, it was the fact that in the other trucks they stopped while going down the log, but the Ford they didn't, just kept the gas on.
@sirhcskoorb yes it was cleaner back then since now we have so many companies polluting the air... very simple if you think about it?
why have a gmc and chevy in the same test
I still think the F series are the best trucks period, it's the truck that will last the longest and just the toughest of them all and you get to pick from 150 to 650, super duty, king ranch, Lariat!
@FarmHand1500Ram Ignoring the fact that it's titled as such, if it wasn't too blatantly obvious by the trucks involved in the test, this is a HALF-TON shootout. A Ram 2500 is not a half-ton truck.
I like how the f150 is the only non off road package and it's the only one that gets floored over the phone poles.
@colanarky12 cause theyre not identical, like he said the have different suspention
@Roger4940 Hmm thought this was a HALF TON TRUCK shoot out video. And if your saying the h1, then yes its better for slow off road, H2 is useless even on the street.
my chev has 322,642 km's (im canadian) its still runs strong. its an 89'. and my freind dad bought a new toyota. it isnt bad but i still dont think ppl should be cheering it on cause i dont c wats so great bout it. my chev out hauls new fords while the toyota does the same. which is good, but seriously w.e truck u like is the truck u buy.
It doesn't matter weather or not you drive an auto or a manual, 4 low is going to give you alot of engine braking.
@jamesf350drw I just watched the loaded quarter mile, which the Tundra won, and the loaded hill climb, where the Toyota came in second. I don't think that's quite "garbage" when it's beating Dodge, Ford, and GM in some tests.

@05Forenza For sure man.
@lizard2006 I guess it shows how old always beats new where it counts.
@flynmid yea but the fords smaller footboard
i miss the old trucks.
it depends too on how much off road you want. my ford only does dirt roads not rock crawls. its good for what i use it for but mods are needed for any truck if you want to get realllllly deep in the shit
