Right now in the winter, running snow tires, idling, and sometimes running 4WD on the hwy I'm getting 16 mpg. The truck's worst empty mileage was 9 mpg city and the best was 19 mpg hwy. Towing the worst was 10 mpg pulling a 7000 lb travel trailer and the best was 17 mpg towing our popup camper.
Once you become disenchanted with a vehicle it's time to give it up. Just like if you catch you're spouse cheating. Will you ever be confident about thier integrity?
When I bought my '01 GMC 2500 I thought it was the greatest thing. When it had 10k mi on it and had it's third transmission in the first 6 months I didn't love it anymore. I kept it for 3 more years and it had a few more minor problems and each one just confirmed my suspicions; that it was a P.O.S.
I traded it in July for a F150 that I think should be faster (the GMC had LOTS more motor) but I love the not-a-hair-out-of-place quality.
I've read complaints about quality issues with the '04 F150s and if I'd gotten one with a problem I wouldn't keep it for 3 years.
The Titan I test drove had lots of dash noise and front end noise. If it didn't I might have bought it. You can't always tell something's junk before you buy it but once you know it is then it's time to scrap it.

I am a VERY proud owner of a 2004 titan -
silver CC, LE
purchased it on december 4th 2004 -
VIN reads xxx500588
I LOVE IT!!
I have had NO problems with the truck at all.
I have survived not one accident, but two -
the second one i was rear-ended while sitting
at a stop light...
the other driver was doing about 40 mph, and didn't have time to put on his brakes - full speed impact into the back of my truck -
bent my frame in three places (crumple zones)
bent the bed up - crumpled in the driver side
of the bed a little...
his car (toyota camry) was completely totalled -
engine was in the passenger compartment...
i am VERY thankful i was in the titan when
he hit me - i think any other truck would have
been heavily damaged from this kind of impact.
my gas milage has actually gotten better
after 30k miles -
went up from 16 mpg (average) to 19 mpg
i have pulled my boat around with NO problems
and i have carried building supplies and
hurricane debris MANY times to the dump -
I AM A VERY PROUD OWNER OF A TITAN!
thank you nissan!!!
i love it. i do wonder if any one has any advice on good upgrades for it. like Exhaust and things like that plus good waxes. this is my first new pickup or car for that matter. and as for who makes it japan or america. no matter who makes it we are human things will go wrong with the truck. get over the American versus japan or german or whoever.
I also noticed a sticker on my inside windshield. It says "REMOVE PGF IN FEB 2005". What's PGF? If anyone has any idea please let me know. Thanks.
Now that makes it equal in price. I spent weeks researching and made my decision on performance, sportier ride, and lesser defects. F150 guys got this problem w/ vibration of the frame which is happening to all of them.
Joekim, I didn't see that window sticker and no I also don't have the coin holder. On another titan forum (can't mention) they have the same complaint. I'm going to ask the dealer for mine.
been an owner of my Titan SE since 5/2004. Been great but I hear the sound too. Get use to it. Dealer said that's how the compressor works.
I've had other issues which are more problematic.

FYI, a crossover pipe is usually there for a good reason - A lot of hotrod publications have tested various exhaust setups and the crossover pipe type almost always makes more power for some reason.
To the guy who is concerned about MPG - That one reason I don't own a full size truck anymore. I didn't have a need for it very often and they suck gas like crazy. I see most folks get 12-16 depending on what you are doing. Towing can be even less.

You got to hand it to Nissan for giving us these great choices.
I like the compactness of the truck and since I do not tow trailers frequently, it does the job for me. I would definitely get a full size truck like Titan if I did more towing.

also, a CHEVY SALESMAN said $22k? first, salesmen do not buy vehicles, dealers do...ask his manager. also, ask the other 100k titan owners how many are disappointed. very few.
lastly, before you want to be taken seriously here, learn to spell the name of the vehicle you are bashing before you do it...goes to credibility.
I am sure you could share how many times yours was in the shop for repairs again and again....
Currently has 1500 miles. Truck seems a whole lot bigger than my 98f150. Great looks, the new f150 didn't do anything for me. Plus I like to drive something that not everyone and their mother has. I live in Louisville. (Ford Country)..
A lot of power available, gas mileage respectable avg around 14mpg. Love the functionality of the back doors. Have some concern about the quality of the interior materials but I knew that before I purchased. No problems so far, hopefully mine was built after the bugs were worked out. A big step up from what I have been driving. (7yr old truck). will update in a couple of months...
The quality difference was staggering, was like going from a Yugo to a BMW, no rattles or anything, just a solid truck. Its had 2 problems, both addressed in TSBs so easy fixes, other than that its been great. I wouldn't be afraid of a Titan, just know that they can be quirky and enjoy the truck.
