Why I love my Titan.

I have owned 4 new trucks in the last 10 years. I have owned Ford Ranger, F-150's , and Dodge Ram. Out of my previous trucks the only one I ever had with no problems at all was my Ranger back in 94. Only thing was it was a 4 banger. Talk about week. Loved the ride, had lots of room for a small truck. I had the extended cab XLT version. I had a big system in it you could hear a mile away. I grew out of that and traided up to 96 F-150 regular cab with In line 6 cylinder straight drive. Now this was a fun truck. Nice step up in power. In fact it had as much or more power than several V-8's I had driven. Traded that for 98 F-150 reg cab. Was alright truck but had a few issues while under warranty. Next I traided in for a 01 Dodge Ram Quad Cab. What can I say about this truck other than POS. I had soo many issues with this truck. When you buy a brand new vehicle you expect to not have problems. Well I did and the service I got from Dodge sucked. I practically had to threaten to drive my truck through the show room window to get it repaired. Only 1 month into owning this truck I started having engine trouble. I would be driving and all the sudden lose power and truck would lurch forward and backward. After 3 visits to dealership and several outbursts by me they agree there is a problem and keep it for 2 weeks. Took me talking to the manager to get a rental car to get back and forth to work. After getting back and driving for about 1 1/2 yrs I noticed a loss of power going up hills. I thought I was having same problem as before. Not this time though. This time my trasmission is slipping. Well I started looking. Drove an 04 Chevy (nice truck more than I wanted to spend), an 04 F-150, and a 04 Tundra. Out of these I had decided to get the Tundra. Even though it was smaller than I liked in the cab. The truck drove really well. Comfortable ride enough power(not a great deal but enough). My brother tells me hey check out a Titan. I say "check out what?". Hadn't even heard of a Titan. My brother is one of those guys that reads all the car and truck magazines and looks up specs on the internet. Well he tells me its a Nissan. I say nah thats ok. The only nissan truck I knew of was the Frontier. While I like the way the frontier looks it was smaller than what I wanted. So he talks me into going to look at the Titan. To be honest I really didn't like the way it looked on my first visit. I thought it was great size though. So I go back when they are open on Monday and test drive it. When I got in it I fell in love. I am 6' 5" tall and 315lbs. Needless to say I need space. This truck has it in abbundance. I don't like all the electric windows and power locks and seats. I always felt it was one more thing that could go bad. I found 1 King Cab XE on the lot exactly like I wanted without the Chrome front on it. The wife and I take for a drive. She loves it right away. Much smoother a ride than any of my previous trucks. She loved the seats and the room inside. I loved the room and the bed length. I wound up getting this truck for less than 22,000. I wasn't able to find a truck anywhere near this from the other big 3. I have had my Titan for over a month now and not a single issue has come up. I have had the windows tinted, Flowmaster Dual in and out exhaust installed, added splash guards from www.titanparts247.com. They fit great and keep my chrome exhaust tips from getting crap on them from the tires. This truck has soo much power you wouldn't believe. I know I was really suprised. Now when I pull into a parking lot I get soo many people complimenting me on it. The want to know all about it and look inside. People are going to notice this truck so get used to questions and show and tell. As I drive this truck I will keep you updated as to how it does.

I have always been a Nissan fan. I had 3 "hardbodys" with the lowest mileage one when I got rid of it at 147,000 miles. I never did any major work to any of them, not even a clutch. Basically kept the oil changed, and drove them. Bought wife a 2000 Pathfinder, and the same has held true, not a single problem in 4 years. I had a 96 Dodge SLT Ext that had the "Primetime" conversion on it. It had a 3 tone fade paint job, custom 2 tone leather interior, all the ground affects, Lund Visor and cab wing. It was my baby, always stored in winter, never seen snow, underside was as clean as the outer. This was my toy, and summer vehicle. Well as I get older, I seem to be accumulating more and more toys! To the point that I am out of room with 2 double stall garages. I decided that after my wife pushing me for 2 years to by myself a new vehicle (have bought her 3, none for me in my life) that when I saw the literature on the Titan, before they were even making them, that this could be a possibility! I still drug my feet, and it wasn't until I was thinking of replacing the wheels and tires on the Dodge that she got me to go look at one. I liked what I was looking at, and knew all the specs before I saw it. I wasn't even 500 yards down the road on my test drive when I knew it was time to get rid of the Dodge and my winter vehicle. I absolutely LOVE this truck, more then any vehicle I have ever owned, and I have had more then 1 or 2 .....trust me! (nickname in high school yearbook was "motor head")

I've only had it for a couple weeks, but it sure is fun to drive! Mine had a couple of items to be fixed, but they were from people looking at it.

I really like the fact that it's different than all the other full size trucks. I love the fact that NISSAN figured out that people other than farmers and off roader's need a truck. After I saw the innovative Utili-trac system...I was hooked. They came up with some really great ideas. That's what sold me.
Man NDJollyMon. Is there any option that you left off that thing???? Awsome sounding truck! Welcome to the site bud, hope to see you posting often.
Yep...no Nav package! I have more accessories, but not enough sig space! :D

Thanks!

Type it out horizontal instead of verticle! (try it anyway) :?: _
Why I love my Titan

I can sum up the reason I love my Titan in one short phrase.

" 305 Horsepower and 379 Ft. Lbs. Torque"

I was a former Ford F-150 owner, and am very glad that I made the transition. My wife has an Xterra and we have been very pleased with its performance and Nissan has a great record when it comes to reliablilty and originality. I couldn't be any happier with my Titan. Hands down, its the best truck on the market today in my books.

I couldn't agree with you more. You summed it up and did it in a lot less space than I did. LOL.
Welcome to the forums.

I just bought my Titan this past Tuesday, August 17, so I haven't had a lot of time with it yet (hey I have to work sometime so I can make the payments!) I traded up from a 2001 Frontier CrewCab to the Titan CrewCab. This is the truck that I have been dreaming about since I was a wee lass. My first truck was a 1994 Ranger that I got in 1999, great truck but needed more room so I upgraded to the Frontier last year. If I had only known then that the Titan was coming out, I would have waited! Husband bought a Scion tC (not the boxy one, the car) last week so everyone thought we were nuts when we went and bought the Titan this week. What's funny is that everyone thinks the Scion is mine and the Titan is his! No complaints on the truck, handles great and fits in most parking places. Plan on driving this for a long time!

WOW!!!! A female forum member, how cool is that? Welcome to the site jakohler. Hope you continue to enjoy your Titan, and keep us all up on the womans point of view!
I love my Titan because it will go anywhere I want it to and it looks good doing it. It is comfortable and sturdy. This is my 2nd Nissan truck and the 4th Nissan between me and my wife. (she just traded her 97 Altima for a 04 Murano) I also love my truck because of it's name. You probably won't hear anyone else say that, but I am a K9 Officer for a statewide emergency responce unit and my K9's name is.... you guessed it, TITAN. How cool is that? All my fellow officers laugh at me. They say the only reason I got the truck is because of my dog!! LOL Anyway, this truck is EVERYTHING I have always wanted in a truck and it's about time someone built it. I'm glad it was Nissan because the truck I have always wanted will run forever!!!!!!! :D

So are you the one on your site the dog is biting or which.

I'm in the 1st and 4th picture. The decoy (person getting bitten) is a police officer from Winchester VA named Steve Spaid. Those pictures were taken from the U.S.P.C.A. Police Dog Trials this past June in Martinsburgh WV.
Uhm, what am I missing? What Picture?????

Click on the link to his website. He has several pictures of his dog. He is in a few of them. Apparantly he is the one rubbing the other guys leg in the third picture. LOL J/K man.

Ahh, a leg rubber aye! OK....... :oops:
LOL!!! I would rather be the person searching the suspect, than be the knot head that gets bitten!!! LOL There is nothing worse that having a 100 lbs police K9 hanging off your arm!!! :cry:

Yeah, that would sure ruin your day!
I've been drooling over this truck since it was a concept vehicle in 2000. I had just bought an Xterra, and was checking out links to Nissan. Needless to say, 4 years later, I've traded in the Xterra last week for my dream truck. Quad cab, 4X4, SE, Smoke grey....and love the 4X4 Off Road package with the Rancho's...this baby is a beast. My friend has a Dodge Ram 1500 with the Hemi...guess who smoke checked him. The Titan is gonna be around for a long time!!
