Hey everyone, I've been in the market for a CC truck for a few months and have finally sold off my car and targeted the Titan. I've got a budget of about $10k I'd like to be under after TTT, keeping miles at or below 150k, and trying to get the most creature comforts I can.
I found a local 2006 CC 150k miles fully loaded (navi, leather, DVD rear, aftermarket rims). Cosmetically it's in pretty good condition, no major issues other than some paint scratches, leather seats a little worn, etc.
Some of the other issues I've already researched (tighten radiator cap, fix backup sensor, flashing airbag light) but there is one thing that I am not quite comfortable with yet. This was the first Titan I had driven and I felt like it had a heavy gas pedal requiring a good amount of foot pressure. The truck still seemed to speed up ok as it got going but it gave me pause to think about. Researching it and people actually complain the pedal is TOO LIGHT and say that the truck is quite torquey
So today I went and test drove another Titan to compare. It has a Borla exhaust but it felt completely different. The pedal was feather light and it was very torquey- I actually got it side ways in town by accident.
Can someone tell me- is this something that can be fixed with a ECU reset/throttle reset like I've read about? Is this super alarming? What does this mean? Is this too many red-flags? Guy was willing to come down about 15% off his asking price.
Let me know some thoughts- should I run away? Grab up a deal and spend the savings to fix it up even more?
Thank you.
