Earl,
A good friend of mine had a chevy conversion van (god was that thing heavy!), what an awesome vehicle that was. Took it on a 4 day drip when i was stationed in Iceland. I was impressed with the turning radius that it had, seemed to be the same as a cars (not an expert on this as i only drove her a little while) or very close to one.
Funny thing is that our Titans turning doesn't bother me at all, in fact if i hadn't read it here i never would have thought about it. Maybe because it is a pretty big truck i automatically adjusted my driving habits for it? LOL i dunno
John

I have a HEMI. I raced a titan while I was pulling a 705lb lawn mower on a small trailer. This guy pulls up next to me with an obvious new titan at a stop light. He rolls the window down and says "you got a hemi" I laughed at him and say "yes". He says "lets see what it has" I say "are you freekin crazy, I got a trailer hooked to me" He says "I thought those hemis were supposed to beat everything even pulling a trailer" I say "Ok lets do it". I put it in tow mode and waited for the light. Light turns green, we both floor it. I pull on him out of the hole with a little tire spin, about a truck length. After I hit 75 in a 45 mph I let off and he was at my passenger side door. He then lets off and makes a right turn to avoid the humilliation! The titan is fast,but dont think it has anything for the hemi! I have been looking for him around town without a trailer, but he wont show. I only have minor mods like, true duals,and k&n, and the tranny flash. Now thats a but whoopin! SMOKED A TITAN WHILE I WAS PULLING A TRAILER.....HAHAHAHAHA!

705 lbs ain't much of a load. The extra weight on that ass probably helped you at the light. Definately hurt you on the top. Doesn't sound like you got to use any your top end advantage though. Wish I was there. Don't know if I would have seen much of a butt woopin. Damn sure Would have seen some butt wagin if the road got tight. Be cool. They don't look so good when their all lumpy.

Troll! Look at all the road test data on the net and the Titan and Hemi are close the Titan being a little faster and with 705lbs in the back you would get smoked. Old post but I couldn't resist

My last truck was a S-10. I loved it for the most part. But I'm kinda a big guy, so it was funny seeing me in a little truck. LOVE the Titan. Haven't raced a Hemi yet but smoked a Jeep Wrangler. Light turned green and he took off, so I took off and gave him a straw cuz he sucked.

Hey Guys:
I understand that Hemi got its history, and for that my respect. The thing is where is that motor located, on a Ram. My 5.6 is equal or better than that Hemi anytime. And my Titan is the better combination Truck the any Doge can make.
