When it comes to the Titan and the Titan XD,
Why would someone get an XD over a regula Titan?
I understand there is a size and probably towing difference but what are the benefits you would get from an XD.

Some say that if one needs a larger truck he might as well get a 3/4 or 1 ton track…
I am skeptical of this reasoning but this what the reviews (like FL trucks) say.

More payload, more towing, longer wheel base for stability, crew cab with the longer bed. I like the XD and I might go that route so I can just keep my same camper and gain a bit of interior room.

Thanks.
Other interesting things I noticed was that the Titan's lower trims such as S and SV are better equipped then Ford or GM.
And it is also a better looking truck too.

It's very good review.

Made one last trip from OR to CO and back again. This time towing a very heavily loaded 6x12 enclosed U-Haul along with a camper full of lighter stuff. Truck pulled it perfectly and I never needed for more power even on mountain passes. 13mpg on the trip...not bad. Did a marathon drive on day two of 14 hours and was still comfy in these zero gravity seats.

Ditching the idea of a XD or larger truck. I'm going to hang on to this one for awhile and see if the Ranger Raptor or Taco Trail hunter end up being solid. After 3 back and forth trips to CO with quite bit of camping in between and some offroading I just can't think of a more capable package for the price and overall size.

I will be calling deaver for some custom springs. I removed my rear sway bar and had zero issues towing but I'm curious if I can get a more progressive pack and ditch the factory block (basically two cut leaf springs) stacked with the icon block.

I started out with Deaver's on my '01 Tundra, but after twisting them up in the rocks I started using Alcan and never looked back.

After a couple of years, how do you feel the mill aluminum on the OVRLND camper has held up? Are you doing anything special to treat it?

It's held up great. I don't do anything to it and would go the same route again. Not worth it to me to pay for coated panels that will just get scratched up on trails.
