2004-2008 Nissan Titan: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

This Japanese automaker's Mississippi-built Titan competed in size and power with Ford, General Motors, and Dodge rivals. It was offered in 4-dr extended-cab and 4-dr crew-cab versions in XE, SE, and top-line LE trim. The extended cab's rear-opening back doors did not open independently of the fronts, but are hinged to open flat against the side of the body. Cargo-bed lengths were 6.5 ft for the extended cab, 5.5 for the crew. Standard on XE and optional on SE was a front bench seat with column-mounted transmission lever. SE and LE had standard front buckets with a center console and floor gearshift. All had a 3-passenger rear bench. The only engine was a 305-hp 5.6-liter V8 mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. Titan offered 2-wheel drive or 4WD that had to be disengaged on dry pavement but included low-range gearing. ABS was standard. Traction control was standard with 4WD, optional with 2WD. An antiskid system was optional, as were front side torso airbags and curtain side airbags for both seating rows. Power-adjustable pedals were standard on LE, optional on SE. Pickup firsts included a locking storage compartment in the left rear fender, factory spray-in bedliner, adjustable cargo-bed tie-downs, and a fold-flat front-passenger seat. Titan shared its chassis and powertrain with Nissan's Armada large SUV.
