The exhaust manifolds were both replaced around the same time, as they had a known issue, I developed a small crack in one, so did both while I was doing it.
The 2016 is being re-designed with a 5.0L Cummins. I figure when I hit 300K with mine, that will be my next truck.

Of course Fiat-Chrysler loves to use phrases like "up-to" when they describe towing and payload.Quote:

Trust me, I looked long and hard before I bought.
The only guy I know who drives a Nissan actually drives the Armada SUV. It has been a great vehicle for him. Many similar components with the P/U. Ironically I also have a buddy with a Toyota Tundra and it has been an absolute lemon. In fact we won't even allow it to be used on our moose hunts anymore. All this to say that these days they are all decent and can get a lemon even with a Toyota.
Armada and Titan essentially share much of the same platform. Same as Toyota Tundra / SequoiaQuote:

I had one as a rental a while ago. I liked it, but the engine cruised far higher in the RPM range than I was used to. ( my truck will do 90kmh and sit below 2000 rpm, the Ford was upwards of 3000). I also found the fuel economy ratings to be way off, and I don't have a lead foot.Quote:
