Buddy sent me these pictures from Nashville. In case you dont know, the single cab XD doesn’t really exist yet so... heres you’re first look. Apparently there were two caravaning. They are also quite dirty which is weird for Nashville.

Bonus points if you can guess the car (it’s super easy).

I hate that front end. They have something similar on their NV van and it looks terrible for driving in the city.

I hate it. I was at the Governors Club golfing and made the joke that I knew we were next to a Nissan Executives house... Everyone was confused until I pointed out the new Titan in the driveway and how they were the only people that would own one.

At least the cab is roomy so you can forget the absolute nastiness in your sitting inside. The Tundra cab is just as roomy, if not more and the outside looks 100000x better

But it’s such a weird looking truck in the front end at least.

It sits so high... It doesn’t bother me on the NVs as much but the hood sits almost a full foot higher then the bed and just does not pull it off at all. Sidenote - I saw an NV in no camo running around Franklin with Manufacturer tags on it something like a year before they were released. Those seem like nice vans overall though.

None of the lines seem to have anything related with each other. It’s kinda like they drew some random lines onto a piece of paper and then overlayed a truckshape onto that and just went with it.

Maybe that’s what makes me hate these so much but I think how the front sits is still weird. This truck was designed wrong overall though. They took the cool parts of every other truck and then uglified everything.

It looks like that. The facelift improved it, I’ll give you that, but it’s still a bulbous out of proportion CHUD

I think the new Taco looks good though. Although a friend of mine bought one of those this spring, and literally didn’t make it out of the dealership parking lot before the check engine light went on. Wasted cam and lifters at 6 miles on the odometer.

Yup, haha.

The Titan is probably my least favorite out of all the full sized truck for that reason. I don’t like it that much, but I don’t especially hate it.

They are so nice to drive though... I think the Titan looks bulbous and while the Tundra is unnecessarily large, at least it doesn’t look like its about to pop. Also, the size of the Tundra is great for traveling so I give it a pass. My dad who is 5'10" was able to sleep on the back seat while I drove and it was supremely comfortable for 3500 miles we drove it in the first two weeks of ownership. As far as the Taco goes, that happens. Sometimes stuff slips past quality control. i’m an accounting major with supply chain collateral so I get it. If it happened after a few thousand miles, I would be more worried.

The sad thing is this isn’t the only truck that suffers from this. Ford Super duties are just as guilty of this. It makes the wheels look tiny.

I’ve always thought the Ford did an okay job of the side badge. THe first gen that had it, it fit nice. The 2nd it was kind of pushed towards the grill. The Titans looks like a blob of chrome got stuck on the side and it makes no sense.

Single cab, diesel.... Slam it. No stacks because not a power wagon but side exit in front of rear tires. Black exhaust smoke plus white tire smoke...

Also is that one pictured sitting normal or are the drivers just massive because that front end looks like it has some serious pitch to it

Yet some say the Tundra is still 100000x better looking than Titan. That is a pretty amazing statistic.

I’m sure they’re nice to drive. My driving impressions of the Titan were that it’s nice to drive too. Granted I didn't drive it nearly enough to make a proper opinion of it. I do think the Tundra looks like it’s about to pop though :)

It’s not.

Still has Focus in the name. It’s just like when Neon guys said their SRT’s weren’t Neon’s.

My Cobalt SS/TC is a Cobalt. Even thought the drivetrain and suspension are completely different.

Also, I’m surprised they didn’t tune the VK engine more - well, I may sound ridiculous but why not take a page out of what the GT1 crew did to the VK56DE and tune it a bit more to have an edge over the Toyota Tundra?

The transmissions can’t handle what they have already. More power would kill them faster. Also if they did beef them up they would probably still keep the transmission computer in the transmission and it would be 10k instead of 5k to replace.

It’s a Focus. No denying it. ST and RS are trim levels.

It’s fair to add ST when telling people you drive Focus. I always say turbo Cobalt.

What does your registration say under Model?

Focus ST! I know I’m late to the game and it has probably been guessed at least 52 times by now, but you know.

I agree, the new Titan was already pretty rough on the eyes, but that looks just horrible. I already dislike the single cab/long bed look, and then with that terrible rake? No bueno.

If they want a good deal on a great pickup, their answer is always going to be Ford. The XD titan is going to be priced above and Nissan would never give the discounts that Ford does.

I had a GE tech come and fix my washer a couple weeks ago who has had myriad issues with a new Taco. He said it was currently at the dealer getting something fixed with the rear window leaking, which would be about its third stint so far, he says.

Interesting. After my friend finally got his new truck (credit where credit is due to Toyota and the dealer, they canceled the sale of that truck and built him a new one), he took it on a long road trip, and the windshield started leaking. Before he could take it in to get it fixed though, he got caught in a golf-ball sized hail storm that smashed the windshield to bits anyways. He just got it back from the bodyshop Monday, they had to cut the whole roof off and replace it.

He definitely does. The first time I saw him after the hail storm, I played the Albert King song “Born Under a Bad Sign” when he came in the room.

Previous to the Taco he had the world’s most unreliable Subaru Baja.

I like Nissan trucks, but that is hideous. Its like they split the truck into three sections and gave each section to a different team to design. It simply does not flow at all.
