Great truck

2006 Nissan Titan LE FFV 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.6L 8cyl 5A)

Review

I bought this truck new in 2006, and have loved it ever since. Had to replace the front rotors and brakes under warranty, so I'll be watching that, but otherwise, no problems. We drive it every day, but have tried to keep the overall miles low. This vehicle does it all - SUV, car, truck all in one with TONS of power. Gas mileage isn't great, but isn't much worse than many smaller SUVS. Blows the Chevy's, Fords, and Toyota's away in every category.

Favorite Features

Engine, Utili-trac bed system, interior room, stereo, the whole- works !

Suggested Improvements

Lighted steering wheel controls for stereo, trip computer (I have LE, and they should have included it in that package), but that's about it.

My Titan

Review

I recently bought an 06 LE Titan for my 17th birthday. It is one sweet truck. It came stock with the Rockford Fosgate system. I by far have the nicest truck of the school, and defenitly in the top 20 of this city. It has racing tires with 20's, and the heavy duty chrome package. I put some 40's flows on it, and my friends have nicked named the truck Screaming Demon. Gas just seems to be put on fast forward in it however. Its really hard crossing town or just cruising without someone wanting to race or feeling the need to rev their less superior engine.

Favorite Features

I like the stock system, it sounds very nice. I also like the power, and the initial set up in the cab. I also like the power back glass, and how the tail gate descends slowly. The rear compartment also comes in handy. Also the sound, it sounded mean before I put pipes on it.

Suggested Improvements

The only thing I really have to complain about is that I dont like that your able to control stereo functions from the back. also, the hump in the back middle makes sleeping uncomfortable, and I had to buy a custom speaker box to fit subs.

Best Purchase Ever

2006 Nissan Titan SE 4dr King Cab SB (5.6L 8cyl 5A)

Review

My wife and I had been looking at the titans ever since their debut in 04. We finally found a great price on an 06 SE KC 4x2. All around fantastic performer. Comfortable ride quality. though the stock drivetrain is excellent, I decided to add an intake, exhaust, headers, throttle body spacer, and programmer and WOW!!! My truck eats HEMIs for breakfast! everyone knows when I am coming down the street. This truck looks as great as it runs. I tow occasionally and it does it with no problems at all. It is like there is nothing behind me. We were so impressed with Nissan for this truck that we decided to purchase an 08 pathfinder as well. Now I don't have to fight my wife to drive my truck

Favorite Features

The torque and ride quality. Power is amazing.

Suggested Improvements

As always, fuel consumption... but what can you do, its a truck.

Still An Awesome Truck After 3 Years

Written by: Allan on 01/19/2009

2006 Nissan Titan SE 4dr King Cab 4WD SB (5.6L 8cyl 5A)

Review

Have used the truck for a variety of purposes including towing a travel trailer, offroading, commuting at times, traveling long highway distances, hauling building materials, etc. I haven't had any problems other than two factory recalls. One for the wiring harness at the back doors and the other for an A/C related component. The truck responds flawlessly to all of my needs and above all it feels like a truck, not a living room on wheels. Exactly what I wanted in this type of vehicle. Handling is very good and stable but need to be cautious around sharp curves because of higher 4x4 centre of gravity. Poor gas mileage. Don't drive it every day & can live with higher gas consumption.

Favorite Features

Powerful high torque V8. 4x4 because of snow amounts in my area. Utilitrak cargo bed system. Backup sensor. Easy close tailgate. Plenty of room in back seat area for a king or extended cab model.

Suggested Improvements

Increase the payload capacity! Diesel V8 please!

Small Mistakes, Are Big

Written by: Rey Vega on 01/12/2009

Vehicle

2006 Nissan Titan SE 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.6L 8cyl 5A)

Review

The windshield is a major small mistake. The wipers can not keep up with the snow and ice, plus they rip on icy windshield. The defroster is too small for the size of the windshield, and cannot keep the ice off. Also only the driver's side has a door key lock. This becomes a problem when there is a sheet of ice over the door, and only one door with a key lock. There is also a problem with all the door windows taking in water and/or ice and freezing, not to mention rusting from the inside out. Why are there metal air valve steams on the tires? They break! Other than that, mileage is not what is claimed.

Favorite Features

Very nice ride. Great view all around. Luxurious interior. Rocking sound system. Lots of passing power.

Titan Exterior Paint

Vehicle

2006 Nissan Titan SE FFV 4dr Crew Cab SB (5.6L 8cyl 5A)

Review

I like the truck overall, but hate the paint finish. I have experience circles of paint that randomly fall of the vehicle down to the primer. I showed the dealer these circles on the tailgate and they said it was rock chips. How do you get rock chips on a tailgate? When I use touch-up paint it eventually comes off again, so there is something wrong with the prep prior to painting. I had a Sherwin- Williams automotive paint specialist look at these and he agreed that the viods were not due to rock chips. This is a weakness in the vehicle that can hurt resale value.

Favorite Features

Stereo, bed functionality, power.

Suggested Improvements

Fix the paint problem because there are others that have reported the same on Titan Forums. The weakest link to this being a perfect vehicle is the paint.

Great Truck!

2006 Nissan Titan XE 4dr Crew Cab SB (5.6L 8cyl 5A)

Review

Bought this (XE Crewcab) w/11000 miles on it. Had an 05 Impala and wanted a truck. Looked at the other trucks, but once I drove this I was hooked! It's a fun truck to drive and own. Looks good, sounds good, and with the power available, it's FAST (love the acceleration, when you need it). The whole family fits in it comfortably and whats more, safely! I thought the bed might be too small, but with the tailgate down and the bed extension down I've hauled a queen size mattress set with no problem. A little hard on the gas, but as others have said "It's a truck", if I was concerned about gas I would have purchased another car. Overall, an excellent vehicle!

Favorite Features

The power and acceleration! Spacious and comfortable cab. Great handling. Large power rear window. The overall look (I've had plenty of compliments).

Suggested Improvements

A little too much plastic in the cab. Better sound insulation for the cab as well. Could use more standard features on the base model (power mirrors, auto on/off headlights, etc.).

Review

Very satisfied with this truck after almost 3 years. Great power, smooth acceleration, reliable. Solid vehicle with a great ride and good road feedback. Suspension is excellent. Feels like a German car in truck form. I love it.

Favorite Features

Great engine, transmission and exhaust, one-touch automatic windows on driver and passenger, utilitrak/bedliner, outside toolbox, backup radar.

Suggested Improvements

No off button for the A/C, wide-angle lens only useful part of trailer tow mirrors, outside rear seatbelts cut into your neck because they are too high, no off button for automatic driver seat shifting

2006 Nissan Titan XE 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.6L 8cyl 5A)

Review

I'm a Chevy man, but that Titan changed my thoughts. I got an 06 Titan, and can't wait to get up the next day to ride in style. I bought it in sept. 08 with 39,000 miles and could not leave it hanging. God blessed me with this truck because I thought I would never get one. I love the body style and engine performance. One main thing I love about it is that it sounds like it has dual exhaust when it doesn't. It's a gas drinker, but gas mileage is 99% better than my old 97 Chevy Tahoe!

Favorite Features

The way it rides and the horse power

Suggested Improvements

I think the XE models need power mirrors, I have to wipe the finger prints out when I adjust them
