Nissan Titan King Cab (2008.5)

The Best Thought-Out Half-a-Tonner

Nissan's first stab into the American full-size truck market was done with the Titan in 2004. This year, very few changes have been introduced over the 2004 model beyond the front styling and some interior amenities. This might be because the previous model's features were quite advanced enough over the competition.

Various reviews classed the Titan second only to the Silverado, a significant achievement for a four-year old design. Among the features raved on by consumers are the smooth transmission shifts, spacious and well-appointed cab, correct location of switches and controls, and solid vehicle platform, meaning the chassis is sound and tough. Many consider the Nissan Titan as best in its class: the half-ton truck.

The truck is a 4-door, 6-passenger full-size truck offered in 11 variants beginning from XE 4x2 SWB and ending at the LE 4x4 SWB. It is powered by a 5.6 liter V8, which offers 317 horsepower and moves to a 12/17 city-highway miles-per-gallon fuel consumption rate. An optional engine may be capable of burning ethanol blend fuel, which may mean more savings on fuel.
