  • Could be a great truck - 2005 Nissan Titan
    By -

    I had high expectations when I purchased this truck two years ago. I have had two Nissans previously and had good luck with them. The Titan has been nothing but a headache since I have owned it. The brakes, water leaks, severe rust, engine ping, blue smoke, steering column replacement, rear end, squeaks and rattles, missing parts and pieces, and poor Nissan customer support. Nissan fails to recognize that they released a truck before all the kinks were worked out. The build quality was substandard. They forgot to install a important bolt in the frame which created problems and the only fix was to drill a two inch hole in my floorboard. That is an example of poor QA in Canton, MS.

  • King Titan rules! (well Crew Cab) - 2005 Nissan Titan
    By -

    I recently purchased the truck and have put 500 miles on it in the past 5 days. Compared to the Accord is replaces, the interior isnt as glamorous but what do you expect? ITS A TRUCK!! Acceleration is peppy and spirited and braking is top notch. Standard 6-disc stereo is OK but the AUX port is a very nice feature and adds to its worthiness. Rear sliding window is awesome and cabin noise is minimal. Engine and tranny doesnt skip a beat and you often have to check to see if it is still running because of it being so quiet. Got the Big-tow pckg because for $400, why not for the "just in case" moment. Insurance only went up $13 every 6 months, not bad there either. This Titan Rules!!!

  • Wooooooooowwwwwwwwww! - 2005 Nissan Titan
    By -

    When I took the Titan out for a test drive, I was blown away by it power, speed and comfort. The king cab has plenty of room and even though I got the 4X2, it still has a beefy suspension that rivals many 4X4s on the road. The Rockford Fosgate stereo in the truck I test drove was amazing. I ended up getting the base stereo with the 6 disc changer but it still has great sound.

  • 2004 Nissan Titan is a VALUE! - 2005 Nissan Titan
    By -

    After 2 months of ownership of my 2004 Titan, Im very pleased with the vehicle. Plenty of room, power, looks, and handling capabilities! Quality is solid so far. Lots of little things that I like about this truck too. Like the 6 disc changer, built in alarm system, sprayed in bed liner, most power in its class. Ford is the only vehicle thats refined enough to even get close to this vehicle...and I dont even like Fords. Ive been a Chevy fan my whole life, but Chevy has a lot of catching up to do to match the Ford and Nissan. Dodge looks nice, but lacks the quality of any of the others. Towing capacity on the Nissan is great!

  • Do not buy a Titan - 2005 Nissan Titan
    By -

    Brake problems, brake problems, brake problems. And that is how many times you have to take it back to the dealer to have them replaced. Many other quality issues. I have owned this truck for 105 days and it has been at a dealer for repair 20 of those days. Stick with domestic trucks. Nissan doesnt have it right and they do not care.

  • Great First Truck - 2005 Nissan Titan
    By -

    The Nissan Titan LE with tow package gives me the truck I need to easily pull a 25 ft. travel trailer and still use it as a personal vehicle (Crew Cab). My trucks 18 inch tires are super quiet and smooth, its engine is fairly quiet and the transmission is silky smooth. It is easy to enter and exit from all four doors. It has some rattles, but it is generally a tight fit. The gas mileage is not great, but did not buy it for fuel economy. I would recommend it to any potential pickup truck buyer.

  • Very Happy - 2005 Nissan Titan

    This is probably the best 4X4 truck I have ever owned

  • All Trucks Should Be Built This Well - 2005 Nissan Titan
    By -

    I have had this truck for nine months and it still feels like I just drove it off the dealers lot. This has got to be the best built truck anywhere. I like the roominess, the way it drives, everything. The last time I felt this way about a vehicle, was when I bought a 1968 Camaro SS/RS.
