This year has a bad paint problem. The clear coat comes off and makes it look terrible.
I like the overall vehicle. I don't like the paint. It has bad clear coat. It has been a good truck. It is very comfortable.

It's more roomy than it looks!
It's very reliable and easy to maintain. I love the way it looks and it still looks good. I love the way it fits my family comfortable and spacious.

Maintenance, amount of tech built in, and safety features.
The valve body of the Transmission goes bad because of the coolant mixing into tranny fluid, ecu, tcm, door motor Lots of power with headers, cold air intake, but no chip

Great truck mechanically!
The paint is peeling off the top and on the hood. The vehicle has been great though. I have only had to change tires, rotors, and the battery. Have had a small problem starting but it stopped when it warmed up outside. It is a solid truck. The interior cab lights have worked only half the time.

Tough and durable. The truck meets every need of a full size pickup enthusiast.
This vehicle has been very reliable. Only basic maintenance and repairs. Only two major repairs in over 190,000 miles. The seating area is one of the most spacious and comfortable the I have ever ridden in. The V8 power plant is awesome giving me the needed acceleration and control that is needed in today's high stress driving environment. The 2004 Nissan Titan XE has been very productive for my family and I will replace it with another high quality Nissan truck.

That even though it is an older model (2004), it still looks very new
It is a 2004 Titan model, but it has very low mileage and looks much newer than a 2004

My truck is very reliable.
It is a very reliable truck, no problems other than normal maintenance, gas mileage not the greatest other than that love it, would by a new one again if I could afford it. Would like a back up camera and would like another color. But I like that I have no payment.

Great everyday truck for you
My truck has 265000 miles on it. I've only had to replace the brakes, fuel pump, tires, and wheel bearings in the 3 years I've had it.
accountCircle Kevin I
It doesn't get good gas mileage which makes the cost of refueling high.
It is 4 wheel drive which is good for the snow. It doesn't have enough power. It doesn't get good gas mileage. There isn't enough room.

That is has the loud screech when turning the car be careful when turning the car
The car is very reliable for everyday the problems it has when turning it make a loud screech that is the only real problem the car has.

Titans are a great truck that will make you and your family feel safe.
This car is pretty great, it is very comfortable and has good traction control. I really like the seat warmers. The car is old so there are problems with it, we've had to replace the transmission and other car things. We also currently need to fix the belt. However it is very reliable and is good in the snow. My husband also loved the manly aspect of having a truck.

Make sure you had the ECM relay replaced after the recall.
The only complaints I have are with the recall. Other than the issue stemming from that it is a good truck. It is a little light so we have to weigh it down in winter or we slide.
