Great for towing trailers

Review

My son has a 08 with 45,000 miles no problems he pulls a 8 ft trailer. I bought the 09 with the $10,000 off program and love the truck. I got the tow package with it I use the truck to pull a 14 foot trailer with two ATV's over dirt roads with no problems. Gas mileage is not the best when towing getting about 12mpg but be really I'm towing about 3,000 pounds at 70 mph. I looked at other trucks and nothing was even close for the money. I was not going to spend another $7,000 to $8,000 for the same truck from Ford or Chevy. I rented a 09 Ford F150 XLT for a day to check it out. What a joke, The XLT package was not even close to the Titan SE and the ride was hard and uneven.

Fuel economy could be a couple miles per gallon better, although I'm not complaining to much wich the amount of power this thing has.

The Big let down

Review

I have owned my Titan for 16 months and ive had to have the rear axle replaced twice. I was told it was a bad design by Nissan. Ive also had brake issues with the rotors warping and premature wear. The gas mileage is terrible. The salesman told me it will average 15 to 18 and I have calculated 9 to 12. Although I will say this truck has enough power to race in nascar, it just doesn't quiet measure up as a work truck. When I went to traded it in the value dropped $12,000. Needless to say im still driving it. My next truck will be a Chevy!

Favorite Features

The raw power the truck has!

Suggested Improvements

Better gas mileage!! Beter design of rotors and brakes

Review

Titian LE Off Road. I have owned it since the day it was new. I have had nothing but problems after 35000 miles. The bakes and rotors were completly destroyed at 11,000 miles at 40,000 miles the differential was blown out and was showing transmission problems. I took my extended warranty to dealership and found nothing wrong with it. Know till this day the transmission is almost completely blown out of it and I have tried to set a case up with Nissan and I have had no response or assistance. My warranty is good for 100,000 mile platinum pro. I do not work in construction or pull heavy trailers. Common day use back in forth to work occasionally four wheel drive in the winter

Favorite Features

The crome grill and the storage compartment on the back corner panel. The the inner parts of the vehical is poorly made. Nissian is truly not for helping the consumer with a quality vehical but Rather keep our pockets broke fixing them. I never even mentioned all the little porblems, list is long

Suggested Improvements

USE QUALITY PARTS. I for got to mention the whole exhuast has rusted out 68,000 miles (Rediculas) nissian told me not there problem it not covered under waranty. I have never heard of another vehical have these problems and. If your going to buy a Nissian expect to have problems and big ones.

Review

Have owned Chevy Z-71's in the past, a 1993 and a 1998. This Nissan is close to the 1993. Lots of power, great steering feel, lots of interior space, great factory stereo (Rockford). This truck is a blast to drive, so much power!

Favorite Features

Value for the money. This truck is at least 10,000 less than comp GM product and has many more features, ie. bed liner, side steps and easy lowering tailgate. Upgraded stereo is great. Fold UP rear seats make great space for dogs.

Suggested Improvements

Mileage, I know it's a 4x4 truck, but the best I've gotten is 15mpg on the highway and 13mpg in the city.

Titan of Titans

2009 Nissan Titan LE FFV 4dr Crew Cab SB (5.6L 8cyl 5A)

Review

My 1st was an 05 LE 4x2, now I have an 09 LE 4x2. The 05 was a beast that never let me down. It had initial quality issues, which were mainly fit & finish, squeaks & rattles, but the dealer fixed all. I drove the 05 65K trouble-free miles then sold it for $15,100. The 09 incentives are too good to pass up. My 05 didn't have DVD, Navi, Sunroof, or tow package, which is why I wanted a loaded one. The ’05 was a terrific truck, but the ’09 blows its predecessors out of the water by far! Fit and finish is tops and the new interior adds some much needed class! With a tow rating of 9,100 Lbs, I can now buy & tow a bigger cabin cruiser when I join the Volunteer Navy in Knoxville on game days!

Favorite Features

stereo is awesome! I love the sunroof, sprayed-in bedliner, the lift assist tailgate makes it easy for my wife and kids to operate the tailgate. The backseat has enough room for 2 kids' car seats and my wife to sit COMFORTABLY between them to watch the DVD on long trips! The new dash adds class!

Suggested Improvements

Would LOVE to have a 6spd tranny, but I'm sure that'll come in the next Titan. Less exhaust noise would be nice. I love my Maxima's heated steering wheel, which would be easy to adopt.

Review

My Titan has 600 miles on it now. Got it with 6. Very quick off the line! Nice growl to the exhaust and handles great! Took it on the highway for the first time and before I knew it I was cruising at 90. Truck drives Fantastic! Even at 70 had plenty of room for acceleration and passing power. Very comfortable and roomy if not more roomy than the Dodge Ram. Sound system is nice. It's no aftermarket system but for stock, it's decent.

Favorite Features

Chrome accents are a nice touch. The grill design while similar to the Armada is a perfect touch in chrome! Nice wheels and tire size, the 18's are just the right size without a ton or road noise.

Suggested Improvements

Gas mileage is terrible.. I am only getting 11 MPG city and highway 12 dispite what is advertised on the sticker I have yet to even see 14MPG. I could only imagine how bad it would be if I were pulling 10K.

2009 Nissan Titan PRO-4X FFV 4dr King Cab 4WD SB (5.6L 8cyl 5A)

Review

This is my third Nissan pickup. #1 was a 2005 Titan that had terrible mileage and many squeaks, rattles, and vibrations. #2 was a 2007 Frontier NISMO 4x4 which was very reliable, avg mpg was 17.5-18 with a best of 24mpg and a worst of 11mpg towing. NISMO had lots of great features with an excellent stock radio (with the upgraded radio package- the base stereo is terrible). This 2009 Titan Pro4X is a bigger version of my great NISMO 4x4- very flexy suspension, locking diff, great stereo, powerful Hemi-eating engine (yes the Frontier can beat a Hemi), tows well, rides very nice, very reliable, factory spray-on bedliner with rail system, etc. 14.5-15.5 mpg avg before first oil change.

Favorite Features

Very smooth tranny. 5.6L pulls right from 1000 rpm, at 3500 rpm it blasts past traffic, at 5krpm its dangerous. Stereo is excellent, truck is very reliable, comfortable interior, plastic door panels are easy to clean mud off. Fully-boxed frames don't warp.

Suggested Improvements

Lose some weight: lighter body panels, air springs, CF brakes, wheels, panels. More tool storage, REAL front bumper, std backup camera, air-free tires, mid-size hybrid?
