If you have any doubt that the Titan is a serious full-size truck, just fire up the 5.6-liter V8 and hear the rumble of its throaty exhaust. With 305 horsepower and 379 lb-ft of torque, the Titan's power plant outmuscled every other engine in the test. (Photo by Scott Jacobs)

Fold up the rear seats and the Titan gives you some serious cargo room in back. Kept in place, the rear seats were judged to be the most spacious and comfortable in the test. (Photo by Scott Jacobs)

Even when it was loaded down with a trailer and passengers, the Titan still proved to be the quickest truck of the group thanks to its slick-shifting five-speed and burly V8. (Photo by Scott Jacobs)
