This is a really sharp looking truck. Marked down to $42,800 from $57,000. And I don’t really like Nissans at all. If it weren’t for the ugly steering wheel, I’d be in love.

The new Titan has always screamed “melty knock-off F-150" to me.

I’ve always thought that the worst part of these is the weird, blob shaped Cummins badge on the side. Yes, it’s in the shape of a Cummins motor, but it looks slapped on and doesn’t coherently follow any of the body lines whatsoever. But what do I know, I’m a Ford truck guy after all and they use aluminum in their inferior truck beds.

Somebody was drunkenly stumbling about the Titan factory with a bunch of Cummins badges he stole from the Bass Pro Shops parking lot.

It has a lot of promise to live up to just for sharing the chassis letter of a Cefiro.
j/k, but in all seriousness, it’s not a bad truck. Heck, between this and a Ram 1500 EcoDiesel...?

I hate all small diesels in big/medium trucks.
Like the Colorado “Duramax.” 0-60 in 8.5 seconds. More like “Duramin.”

Honestly, I’ve driven one with the Cummins and... How do I say this...
It feels like Nissan’s not even trying to make something lively anymore. Hell, anything from 350Z up to their trucks feel plain. I guess I share Mr. K’s statement in that they’re just bloated Datsuns. It’s not bad, don’t get me wrong, but I guess I kind of wanted it to feel like this:
PS. I WILL FIT IN A GODDAMNED CEFIRO WITHOUT MODIFYING THE SEATS.

Nissan hasn’t really been on their game recently as far as creating engaging designs.
Like I’ve driven a 2014? Pathfinder and it drove like hell.

Japanese Classics has a fairly nice one for sale. Needs a radio and the aftermarket wheel swapped though.

Yes. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like the way it looks, but I don’t have a negative reaction to it anymore either. I actually hate the look of the front end of the current Ford trucks. I like them as trucks, but their front ends are fugly.

Yeah, the steering wheel is ugly, but none of the trucks are perfect. The only current full size trucks I find attractive are the GM twins, and even those I think their dashboards are ugly.
I never wrote about this I don’t think, but I actually went to a Titan test drive event back in September. Nissan had a dealer education event setup nearby for a few weeks, and they opened it to the public on the weekends. I got to take a diesel XD around a little off-road course, and then a regular Titan around a rough parking lot auto cross with some offset bumps and whatnot. They encouraged me to hammer it around that course, and I happily obliged. I went there with absolutely no interest in the Titan, and I left willing to consider buying one. The body structure is solid, that I can say for sure, and I was impressed by the brakes.

I hadn’t seen those. The one with the open grill looks pretty great actually, I’d rock that for sure. The ones with the gianormous crossbar in the grill look cartoony.

I totally agree man, that’s part of why I keep bouncing around. I’ve looked into literally every full-mid sized truck that’s out there and I’m having a lot of trouble deciding what to get.
The thing with trucks is that I don’t really have that much bias, I’m willing to give every brand a chance.

Wow, didn’t realize how much of a copy the rear end is to the F150. Similar tail light outline, but the tailgate with the top aero edge is a total knock-off.
