Good Brakes.
Really comfortable seats.

Fast for an old truck.

What I hate:
Total Lack of Fuel Efficiency!
5,200 miles on truck since we bought it with 1,250 miles of that towing, Average MPG is 13.6, generally with a light foot.

Does not handle like a Mazda Miata.

No heated/cooled seats, heated mirrors or steering wheel, lane assist, back up assist, etc. Not a 2025 Truck

5 speed transmission needs 5 more gears.
Needs better backup camera.

Pioneer infotainment system hard to use.

Not fond of Black trucks.

Total Lack of Fuel Efficiency! (AGAIN, it is a thistly mother!)

On our trip out West for next year, I am inclined to swap trucks with my stepson. It is a factory specific ordered Max tow 5.0L F-150, It pulls 9,000 lbs. no sweat. I have pulled over 11,000 lbs. with it. The F-150 is newer, will be easier to find service if there is a problem, and pulls about a ton more than the Titan. The F-150 has about about 400 lbs. more payload, as well as a 10 speed transmission vs 5 speed, getting about 3 mpg better mileage than the 2012 Titan.
