2008 Nissan Titan Pro-4X King Cab Review - Long-Term Report - Four Wheeler

At the beginning of our test, we thought this was the end of the road for the Titan as we know it, but the original plans of Chrysler to build the next-generation Titan off of the Ram platform have been put on ice. Our year with Nissan's Titan hasn't been particularly easy for the big truck. It isn't that the Titan wasn't up to the challenge, but rather the challenges were unrelenting. Out of the starting blocks, our Titan was used to tow things around, seemingly more often than most of our long-termers drive around trailerless. With our Titan, we yanked around project rigs and racecars. The Titan performed admirably with its gutsy flex-fuel 318hp 5. 6L DOHC V-8, which feels a lot more powerful than the 385 lb-ft of torque suggests. Despite a recent refreshening, the Titan has fallen behind the competition in several key categories, including interior quality, ride, and NVH when compared to the current crop of 1/2-tons. Where the Titan continues to excel, though, is in sheer utility, from rear cab doors that swing nearly 180 degrees, to the factory bedliner and Utili-trak tie-down system. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
