  • 08 Titan - 2008 Nissan Titan
    By -

    I just upgraded from a 06 Titan SE. I was impressed enough with the SE to look at the 08s. The 08 LE CC is almost to pretty for a truck, but it is a truck and will be used as one like its predecessor. Its ride is improved and is quieter. The brakes, like the engine, are smooth and strong. The utili-track bed system should be in every truck on the road. I drove Ford, Toyota and Chevy and found this truck not only to be the best for the money, but the best truck overall.

  • Absolute terrific, underrated truck! - 2008 Nissan Titan
    By -

    What attracted us to this car was that it is the only 1/2 ton pickup with a full size cab and long bed. This configuration is awesome! The cabin is very comfy, seats are soft, rear leg room is limo-like. Power of the big V8 is incredible, the car is quiet, decent sound system and has lots of fun toys like the bluetooth. It behaves very well for a truck, soft over the bumps, but feels very tough at the same time. Definitely underrated as far as the full truck segment goes and its a shame Nissan hasnt done a better job marketing the truck.

  • Awesome Truck, squeaks uner 10mph - 2008 Nissan Titan
    By -

    I live in Anchorage Alaska, so I wanted a nice 4wd vehicle that I could pull my toys with and take people along as well. The Titan has been everything I could have ever wanted it to but, until recently, I dont know if its the harsh temperature or just a flaw from Nissan, but Ive taken it back to the dealership 2x and still the axle squeaks every time I brake or just drive under 10mph. Other than that its awesome!!

  • Excellent Family Truck - 2008 Nissan Titan
    By -

    Traded a 2005 Silverado Crew Cab for the Nissan, and have been very pleased so far. Excellent power and smooth shifts. Hauls wife & kids like a full- size car, but carries anything you can throw in the back or hook to the hitch. Very comfortable seats and roomy cab with great options. Would prefer an auto 4WD mode and a Neutral on the transfer case, as well as mechanical anit-spin differentials instead of the brake system. Love the R-F sound system and the DVD entertainment. Could do without the 20" rims and low-profile tires as I prefer capability over bling. Have had a couple minor issues, but Ive had that with every truck Ive ever owned.

  • Beats up American Trucks - 2008 Nissan Titan
    By -

    I love my titan! I have owned it for a year now, and its still running like new! It has tons of power, and will eat most American trucks off the line. Traveled from MS to OK to TX and back and wasnt fatigued at all, very comfortable ride. I have eased off the gas pedal alittle and usually get around 15-16 city, and 18-19 hwy. I have towed boats, trailers with no problems what so ever. All in all the only thing I wouldve changed would be to get the 4x4 model for when I go up to MN in the snowy winters thats all. Great Truck at a better price than youll find at the competitors!

  • Superb - 2008 Nissan Titan

    Had a 2007 chevy LTZ-got a GMC-SLT-2009 Ford FX4-This Titan blows away what were making in Detroit.The power is there always-the sound ststem is better than you can get at home-It is by far the best truck that I have ever owned.The Titan LE is the best choice by far.I have been a GM man for 35 years and decided to try the new 2009 F150 and the new seats killed my back.The Titan has the extra power- smoothe ride and nice seats that the Sierra offers.I have a truck now that I plan on putting many more miles on it.

  • Not Very Happy - 2008 Nissan Titan
    By -

    I bought a 2008 Pro4X new from Nissan, and it has not been one of my better vehicles. Its had numerous recalls, the gas milage is terrible, the locking differential has never worked, the drivers seats squeeks loudly, the rear doors rattle, and now the rear bumper is rusting. This is the last straw for me. Since the truck is 3 years old, and has over 36K miles, Nissan will not fix the bumper. I cant believe it! This truck was nearly $40K, has never been in any kind of accident, and Nissan wont cover rust?! They told me that the rust warranty only applied to body panels, and bumpers were not covered. The rest of my truck still looks new, and the rear bumper has a big rust spot!

  • Great Truck - 2008 Nissan Titan
    By -

    Had mine for 17 months. Great truck as the tile says. Fuel mileage isnt great but with the engine this thing has I am not surprised. This thing with a trailer will walk off from any Ford I have owned or driven and I have had nothing but Fords for the last 30 years until now. Drove a new 2009 F150 and it still doesnt compare. I have had no issues whatsoever and am very happy with the truck.

  • Best of the 5 full-size trucks - 2008 Nissan Titan
    By -

    This is my 5th vehicle and first truck. First 4 were all Honda/Acura. After signing on the dotted line, the Titan has exceeded my expectations. The throaty factory exhaust audibly transfers the engines power into a beautiful sound when you hit the gas. The Titan interior felt more like what I was accustomed to with Honda cars. All the early defects from 04 have been resolved.

  • Best Truck Ive Owned - 2008 Nissan Titan
    By -

    This is the first vehicle I have owned and not looked forward to trading for a new one. The truck is fun to drive, sits very high, and makes you feel like the king of the road. Smooth ride, great looks, comfortable seats all around, and more interior space than you could imagine. Deep console is great for storing anything and everything, with ability to lock for security. Honestly best truck on the market for comfort and reliability. Solid truck. Repair shop said Titans are the most reliable trucks with the fewest problems.
