Between those I would go for an F150, although I am a GM guy.

My Brother In Law has an F150 and we've been camping with them a few times. his is an 08 and mine is an 09, they are very similar. Some things I like about his truck over mine are that although we get equal mpg pulling the trailers, his gas tank is much lager then mine allowing for many more km's on a tank when trailering. The other thing is that the F150 4 door has an option for a 6'(?) box, which is nice, where Dodge and GM don't have this in a 4 door 1/2 ton, you only get a 5' box,not too sure about the Nissan though.

One of my co workers recently (in the last year) traded of his 07 Escalade on a new (2012) F150 for his wife, he said the ride in the truck is just a nice as his Escalade ever was. For my next truck I will be seriously looking at a Ford. I don't like how the Rams ride, I find them to have louder cab noise and an over all rougher ride. The 5.7 is also much harder on gas. I have nothing to offer regarding a Titan.

Another note, my neighboor has a Ram and when we had our hail strorms here in Lethbridge this summer, his Dodge was beat to hell from the hail, like hit with a hammer bad. The damage is not noticeable on my truck.
