Unlike Ford, Chevy and Dodge, there are only a limited number of combinations of bed lengths, cabs and body styles. Basically, the Titan comes in extended-cab or crew-cab body styles, in two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive versions. On the road, the Titan feels like a quality piece. Its steering is tight and precise, making it quite maneuverable. The four-wheel antilock disc brakes with electronic assists to help in hard stops convey a reassuring sense when hauling this big truck down from speed.

Of course 4x8 sheets of plywood can be carried between the wheel housings, and Nissan thoughtfully added an ignition key-lockable bedside storage bin to hold such items as tow chains, rope, a hitch ball, jumper cables, or other small items. It too is a novel idea that is sure to be copied by other truck makers. So now that you know about the sizzle, let's talk about the venison steak itself. Titan is constructed of a full-length boxed ladder frame with a double-wishbone front coil spring suspension that can be ordered with springover Rancho shocks in an Off-Road Package. A dual-rate leaf rear suspension has shackles compactly mounted along frame sides for maximum ground clearance. Peek under the rear bumper of a Titan and you'll see a virtually clean, unobstructed underside. Despite these heavy-duty underpinnings, Titan rides exceptionally smooth and quiet for a truck. Take it offroad and bumps, rocks, ruts, or logs are negotiated without gut-tearing harshness. Power rack-and-pinion steering makes turning effortless and provides good on-center feel.

Nissan Titan: Highlights - Titan is the only import-brand pickup that goes head to head with the domestics for size and power. It offers two cab styles in XE, SE, and top-line LE trim. King Cabs have rear-opening back doors that don't open independently of the fronts, but can be swung out flat against the bodysides-a pickup exclusive.

Another option on the Titan was the Utility Bed Package ($900). This offered a Utili-track Channel System with four adjustable tie-down cleats, a factory-approved spray-in bedliner, 12V outlet in the driver's side lockbox and tailgate area illumination. The channel system does break up the flat floor of the bed, but the adjustable tie-down cleats more than make up for the lack of a flat floor.

For 2005, the Nissan Titan adds a power-operated rear privacy back glass (ala the Toyota Tundra), front and rear active head restraints, a dampened tailgate assist system that makes opening and closing the tailgate easier, refined exterior styling and new exterior and interior color choices. But to rise up from the ranks of contender to champion requires dedication, improvement and refinement - exactly what the doctors at Nissan ordered for the Titan. Starting with an already excellent platform, the 2005 Titan is more than ready for primetime. The competitive nature of the Titan doesn't stop at the options-to-price ratio; pop the hood and you'll find one of the most powerful V8 motors in the business. The Titan offers just one engine option, but what a wonderful engine it is.
Review: 2004 Nissan Titan SE 4x4
A large part of the pickup market is fleet sales, to utility and construction companies, government agencies, and more. Nissan is starting small, aiming at the growing personal-use market. There are no basically-equipped models in the Titan lineup. APPEARANCE: At six and a half feet width and nearly that in height, the Titan is a large truck. And its imposing styling makes it seem even larger. The looks may be controversial, but the Titan gets attention and there's no denying that it has presence. The hood is short but high, and bulges with the implication of power beneath. The bed, while also short, is longer than that of smaller crew cab trucks and SUVs. The passenger cabin is immense, and is the visual center of the vehicle when viewed from the side. A sharply-raked windshield gives it the look of a 21st Century pickup, and race car-like fender blisters hint at performance. R17 tires barely fill the wheel wells. From the front, the Titan has the look of a toothy prehistoric beast caricatured in steel, with the three-piece grille for the mouth, the bright, complex headlamps for eyes, and the domed hood and massive roof as the forehead.
