When you’ve got two trucks parked in your driveway, and the difference in price is only $145, how do you choose? Pickup Truck + SUV Talk Publisher Tim Esterdahl hits all the highlights for each truck in this Ford F-150 vs Nissan Titan video.

 

We want to know what you think! [Watch the video](<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnxYBNRc70k>) and let us know.

 

### **2021 Nissan Titan Pro-4X**

 

This truck is a thing of beauty with its bright red paint and all-black accents. It is commanding, rugged and ready to go off road.

 

Starting at the rear the Titan has a cool damped tailgate with a black insert that really makes it stand out. The truck sports Pro-4X branded mudflaps, a spray-in bed liner, has slide rails in the bed for easy cargo tie-down and has a cool bed-step on the left corner of the bumper.

 

Inside the Titan Pro-4X is a little nicer than the Ford in that it has heated leather seats and a heated steering wheel. It also comes with a Fender sound system. The infotainment screen has been updated to a 9-inch screen, which looks really nice and the gauges on the driver’s display are pretty sharp. And one last thing we can’t forget: There’s a panoramic moonroof with a power roll-back shade.

 

Under the hood of the Titan is a good ol’ V-8 engine, which sounds incredible. The truck is a 4×4 and includes a rear locking differential, which makes it great for off-road enthusiasts.

 

The estimated fuel economy for the Titan Pro-4X is 15 mpg in the city, 20 mpg on the highway and 17 mpg combined. That’s pretty standard for a light-duty pickup truck.

 

Sticker price: $61,345

### **2021 Ford F-150 PowerBoost**

 

The F-150 is [Tim’s personal truck](<https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/12/bought-2021-ford-f-150-powerboost/>), which has a dark metallic blue paint and chrome accents. The stance is a little more hard-working truck and a little less off-road badass.

 

The F-150 has a drop-in bed liner and a tailgate with a built-in pull-out step for easy entry to the bed. The tailgate also has a tablet or phone holder, a ruler for measuring and tie-down hooks for longer cargo. This particular [truck has an on-board generator](<https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/10/generator-or-inverter-2021-ford-f-150-pro-power-onboard-explained/>) and some extra power options in the bed.

 

The XLT trim comes with cloth seats. It also has a big 12-inch infotainment screen, and the back seat just seems bigger in the Ford.

 

We can’t forget Zone Lighting! Tim’s F-150 is equipped with this cool feature, which he covers in [this video](<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzUqjAUe9cU>) and we think it’s really something.

 

Sticker price: $61,045

### **Ford F-150 vs Nissan Titan: $140 difference**

 

Both of these trucks are made in the U.S. They are light-duty pickups capable of towing a family camper and are priced almost exactly the same.

 

When looking at the Ford F-150 vs Nissan Titan, it’s pretty easy to see that they each have unique features that make them desirable, so the choice will be a personal one.
