Why is the steering wheel off center?
I drove one for a year and never noticed. Either that rendering is off or the offset isn't noticeable.

No shite, I just said that. That interior is boring, and not made from anything nicer than the F150 .
Couple that with a non flat rear floor and no rear vents, and there isn't any objective reason to say it's much better than the Ford.

You are probably more suited for a Chevy Luv

It's a clean interior. There's no need to cheapen it with terribly cheesy accent pieces like Ford.

Love the flat rear floor, the heated and cooled seats(heated only in rear)
Fold up the back seats and there's room for so much activity.

I will say I have owned 3 GMC's prior to this raptor and i will be going back to GMC after im done with it. Ford has always been in front of Ford on interior, main reason i switched. Not not anymore.

Chevrolet and GMC have really stepped up their game recently (especially with Denali and High Country models) but I would wait until next year before you go back. The next generation Silverado is around 12-15 months away. We'll probably have photos and know the pricing over the summer.
IMO Ram has an attractive layout but cheap feeling interior. I'm not a fan of the rotary knob gear selection. The Ram features very comfortable seats though. I think they will be redesigned in a couple of years, but the current models are still very popular. It's already a smash hit for Chrysler.
The new Ford interiors are a lot better than the previous generation models too. There is a world of difference between the XLT model and the King Ranch model, but there are areas that bothered the hell out of me on the examples I've driven. I prefer the models with the gear shift on the column. I do not see why an automatic gear shift should take up space on the console.
I have not driven the new Titan. The Cummins engine is a compelling feature though.

That tribal art on the seats
Posted on 4/24/17 at 11:24 am to Nado Jenkins83
Does look nice, but would be down on the list of luxury trucks I'd buy.
Sierra Denali or King Ranch would be my top two in a toss up, and a Platinum would be third. Also probably bc I'm not that big of a Dodge/Ram fan.
ETA That tribal art looks like the same type of stitch pattern on the legs of your (or anyone's) boots.

Wrong
Biggest complaint of owners is hearing their passengers bitching about getting frost bite on their toes as they continue to sweat from the waist up while in the back set.

They are slightly off center. I forget the reasoning behind this but GM has a reason for it.
