Nor has my Titan. This is the best truck I have ever owned hands down. Hey paisan, how is the ride in the 'mada? Is it possible to put the rear IRS into a Titan? Hmmmmm......

Ride and handling on the Armada is great. It rides like a caddy, handles like a car.
 
Really feels like a big Outback. I am not sure what would need to be done to get the IRS into the Titan, I bet it could be done, although the frame in the rear section may be different.
 
The auto-load leveling suspension is great. I'll grab some pics next weekend with the 34ft Cigarette Boat triple axle trailer on it when I pick it up. Hoping that the 9100lb towing capacity is enough for it.

Upgrade the tires, the Contis sucked in the snow on my truck. Once I upgraded to Bridgestone Dueller AT Revos it's like night and day. In the snow they've totally been great, was stuck in ice-encrusted snow banks here in NYC yesterday and just put it in 4-lo and pulled out. Amazing stuff.

Mike,
 
I read many technical articles, most of them on "tirerack" about different tires and my personal conclusion was there is no big difference between different tires, of course we are not talking about formula-1 or anything in that category. Even comparing normal all season snow/mud tire to pure snow tires, the difference is not much.
 
I don't doubt your experience with Revos, but could it be you impression is partly because these are new, compared the ones you replaced, which were obviusly old. My point is, let say you had old Duler and replaced them with Conti's, would you notice a good improvement?
The reason I am asking this questions, is because
my personal experience with Conti's are very good, except I cannot compare with anything else yet. On the offroading trip up in mountains in CA, lots of snow and mud, I never had any problem. Recently in Texas on a loose gravel, again no problems.

I've owned a lot of tires over the years and there are major differences. I am also comparing them to my truck when I had new Contis on. The Conties were fine in rain, dry on-road but were horrible offroad and in snow.

I've used a lot of AT tires on my SUVs over the years and this isn't a placebo effect for sure.

Try the BFG TA/KO tires. I have them and they seem to be rock solid. I think the new compound is 10-ply. They used
to be 8-ply. They work good in everything but snow and ice........

Yeah TA/KOs are great, my buddy runs them. I couldn't go larger than stock so I stuck with the Bridgestones.

Anybody know when the 2008s will be available?
 
And no, I don't want to read about brake problems on a 2004 truck (four model years later).

Haven't heard of a release date yet, looking forward to it myself. Although I'm really looking forward to the 2010 model.
