2007 Nissan Titan Review
Nissan's full-size pickup truck gets more power for 2007. Titan comes as the Crew Cab and as the extended-cab King. Kings have rear-opening back doors that don't open independently of the fronts, but swing out flat against the bodysides. Kings have a 6.5-ft cargo bed, Crews a 5.5-ft box. The sole engine is again a 5.6-liter V8 but now with 317 hp vs. 305. It teams with a 5-speed automatic transmission. XE, SE, and LE trims are available, each with rear- or 4-wheel drive. The 4WD system has low-range gearing but should not be left engaged on dry pavement. Antilock 4-wheel disc brakes are standard, an antiskid system is available. Traction control is standard with 4WD, available with 2WD.

SEs and LEs have front bucket seats, center console, and floorshifter. Optional on those models and standard on XEs is a front bench seat and column-mounted shifter. All Titans have a three-passenger rear bench seat. Also optional are front side airbags and curtain side airbags that cover both seating rows. Crew Cabs include a power-down rear window with defroster. Power-adjustable pedals are standard on LE, optional for SE. Titans are available with a locking storage compartment in the left-rear fender, a factory spray-in bedliner, and a fold-flat front-passenger seat.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Large Pickup Trucks are traditionally the vehicles of choice for heavy-duty hauling and towing. They offer an array of cab styles and bed lengths and usually feature powerful V8 or diesel engines. For personal use, consider light-duty half-ton models. For heavy-duty or commercial use, consider three-quarter- or one-ton models.

We have no Best Buys in this class. Our Recommended picks are the Chevrolet Avalanche, Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic, Ford F-150, and GMC Sierra 1500 Classic.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Chevrolet Avalanche, Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tundra.
News
Nissan is an old hand with diesel engines, which likely explains rumors of an "oil burner" Titan for 2008. It would be a timely, though unsurprising, addition. High gas prices have lately crimped sales, and Titan now faces newer competitors that offer the greater fuel-efficiency of diesel power. No word yet on what diesel engine Titan might get, but we'd guess a V8 of 5.0 to 6.0 liters, though a turbocharged 6-cyl is equally possible. Further out, sources forecast a redesigned Titan for model-year 2010. Intriguingly, Nissan is said to be working on medium- and heavy-duty pickups that could bow around then--and could be more bad news for beleagured Detroit brands.
