Vehicle Highlights

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.
