Nissan Titan

Post by sickbayer » Wed Aug 14, 2013 6:21 pm

Hey guys I'm looking into a new truck a used one but newer to me. So I am wondering if anyone has or had a Nissan Titan and if so good I get some input on your experiences with it. How does it tow, how does it stop and how's the interior holding up?

Isn't your Bentley or Jag good for towing?

I'd be looking at trucks based on your planned towing load. Max towing capacity should be the primary factor in your decision process followed by reliability and budget. I don't care what brand you buy, any of them can leave a sour taste in your mouth.

Take it with a grain of salt, but check out this compiled review before you decide to buy - http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/ca ... san_Titan/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Cool, it's got a pedestrian bar on the front! Perfect for DT Kirkland on a Sat afternoon!

Well Phil this is the $64000 question, I did test drive a very nice OP 22' had twins on excellent condition radar loaded...but I just didn't like it....i am probably going to get a North River 22' Seahawk for the same price as a hewescraft comes standard with suspension seats (real ones) trim tabs and all painted hull...construction quality ,hull shape steep bow to progressive and resale is pushing me to the NR...
