It is so helpful and useful to have a pickup truck.
I love my truck because it is large, feels safe, and seats me high above other cars with a good view.

Nissan titan review extravaganza.
The Nissan titan 2005 pick up truck is a truly worthy option to consider for any person looking for a vehicle that is reliable, comfortable, and powerful. It can drive hundreds of thousands of miles with barely any repairs needed if any at all. It drives very smooth on the road compared to a lot of other trucks that came out around the same time and especially before that. The air conditioner is fast acting and efficiently cools the interior in all corners. Despite being a powerful truck it is not exactly a gas-guzzler either, so great news for those looking to save some gas money. It has a window in the back seat that can be winded down via a button on the driver's seat as well and that is truly unique to that truck.

I love the comfortable ride, seat adjustments are excellent.
I love my truck but it always seems to have brake problems, I have had to change my brake pads, rotors, and calipers in the past year two times. The parts do come with replacements which helps with saving on money but the time and safety danger while driving becomes a huge issue. There is a ticking noise everytime I turn off the truck, do the 4x4 unit, or seat the air conditioner as well as turn the air conditioner off. Not sure what that is from but concerns me as well. Then my main problem is the fuel concern my truck seems to get better miles to the gallon at a quarter of a tank. When it is full it quickly drops to three quarters in less than ten miles and continues to drop. I can go through a whole tank is less than one hundred miles. Very inconvenient for my family life and work situation.

2004 Nissan Titan LE Very Reliable Truck
This truck is an amazing vehicle to have! It's very comfortable to sit in and there is so much room, but the backseat is huge! Very spacious! It really gets up and goes when you want it to. The only downfall with it is the gas mileage. It doesn't get very good gas mileage and it takes about 80$ to fill it. If maintained and driven correctly then it is a very reliable truck to own.

I love the blind spot mirrors it has.
The Nissan titan is a really cool truck. It is off of four-wheel drive so you can go off-roading with it or pull things that you need to pull. It is got a full size back seat and it is four door. One of the things I do not like though is how big the side of the windshield area is inside. It kind of creates a blind spot when you are looking out the front window of the vehicle you cannot really see well because that area so large it blocks the view.

My Nissan Titan is call grandma's get it done vehicle in our family.
My Nissan Titan is extended cap, it is roomy for picking my grandchildren up from school. I am able to haul my materials for my projects, I am able to haul my trailer with my lawnmower to my property with great performance on the back roads and steep inclines here in Tennessee.

If I have to get another truck I would get the same one.
The gas mileage is not the greatest but overall it is a great truck. It has been through a lot but it keeps ticking.

The titan's access, ability and faith was our Zeus for survival in this century!
My father bought this vehicle in 2006 brand new. It was his first new truck he has ever bought for himself since I was born. It is now 2019 and we are still driving that vehicle. I have nothing but good things to say about this truck but I am now the one taking care of my parents for they are getting older and health is deteriorating. It is still a very good dependable truck but it is difficult for them to now get in and out of the truck due to the height it sits off the ground and unfortunately we do not have the option for another accessible vehicle due to financial hardships. All in all it has been the best vehicle and you can say it is our access, ability, and faith for all of our good time and the not so good times. I can honestly say that when I am able to purchase a vehicle that the Nissan titan is at the top of my list.

Upgrade and get something with more power and better gas mileage.
Truck overall is a good truck but does not have great gas mileage and would upgrade to a extended cab the bed is rather small and does not have much tow capacity.

Going for the extended cab is definitely recommended and 4 door the folding doors are not a great feature and makes the cab feel smaller.
Overall good truck currently at 241,000 miles and still running strong. Had very little to repair just small normal wear and tear. Does not get great gas mileage and doesn't have high tow capacity but for size and price truck has lasted and made the purchase worth it.

Few issues, decent and comfortable
I like the truck. I don't like that there are no buttons to raise the seats I am short so it makes it difficult to see I need a little bit of added height. I have had some problems with the steering wheel it locks up regular and end up cutting some wire down below that I have to replace frequently and also causes the key not to start the ignition. The paint on titan has faded a lot and I notice this not only with my titan but several titans around town. I like how big it is and my kids are comfortable in it.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Joan F.

It is been a great truck, runs great, I have been hit two times and it still is a great running truck. It has full back seat with 4 doors, it pulls great and can fit 5 grown up people. It gets good gas mileage in town and out of town.

likeFilled Thairren T.

Gas saver, less problems to fix it, ride smooth, space value, different tools methods for easy access on the road, easy to change oil, easy to fix it, quality of the truck is worth the money, foreign truck that last long.

likeFilled Melissa P.

It is spacious, my whole family of 6 fits perfectly. It is been in our family a very long time. My dad has had it since it came out 2005 that means for about 15 years and it works perfectly and it is a very nice looking truck.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Joan F.

We have had a problem with the front passenger seat and never get a good reason why it is loose. I do not have anything else bad to say about the truck, we have enjoyed driving it and would buy another one if we had the money.

dislikeFilled Thairren T.

Less tools to fix anything on it, no jumping cables, less tools to easy access on the road, paint on the truck fades, cheap paint job, transmission can be bad, insurance is high, tailgate can get stuck.

dislikeFilled Melissa P.

The cons are that it takes up more gas than most other smaller cars and since it is big it can be hard for beginners to drive it. You have to be careful when driving it. I suggest not buying it when it is your first car and first time learning how to drive.
