Ford F-150 vs Nissan Titan: Performance

When you're choosing your next road companion, the engine under the hood of a truck can make or break your decision. Fortunately, for those considering the Ford F-150 and Nissan Titan, you'll get tons of power. The Nissan comes with a 5.6L V8 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque across all its trims.

Drivers who want more power and more options, however, will be smiling ear to ear when they hear the Ford F-150 offers a total of seven engines-six gas and one hybrid. When fully equipped with the following engines, you'll see that the F-150 offers enough power to get any job done:

• 3.5L EcoBoost®-produces 400 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque.
• 3.5L PowerBoost™ Full Hybrid V6-produces 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque.
• High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost® V6-produces 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque.

Ford vs Nissan: Towing Capabilities

The draw to a pickup truck is the ability to haul virtually anything you need to. The Ford F-150 and the Nissan Titan are experts in that realm, but there is only one clear winner here: the Ford. This classic pickup truck has a maximum towing capacity of up to 14,000 pounds, and a maximum payload of 3,325 pounds.

Towing with the Nissan Titan isn't as beneficial, though it can still tow up to 11,040 pounds, and has a maximum payload of 2,390 pounds.

F-150 vs Titan: Safety Features

Your truck can do more for you than just tow equipment-it can also keep you safe. The Ford F-150 and Nissan Titan were designed to protect you on the roads, and offer similar features like a Lane Keeping Systems, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, and more.

In this department, though, the Ford separates itself from the Nissan in a couple different ways. Both trucks offer a blind-spot information feature, but the Ford's system has trailer coverage, so you can see if another vehicle is approaching one of your trailer's blind spots.

Not sure if you can park in a tight space? The Ford can help, with its Active Park Assist 2.0 feature. This feature allows the truck to identify a parking spot, and at the push of a button, it can park itself for you. This means, you'll have a smooth, even parking job when you utilize this feature.

Unfortunately for Nissan Titan drivers, its blind spot feature doesn't have trailer coverage, and it doesn't come with a parking feature quite as intuitive as the one in the F-150.
