We think it is a great truck.
It's a great truck, it drives great and is not terrible on gas mileage for a truck. It's got a lot of room in the back and great for hauling things.

Durability; especially carrying valuable cargo (family).
Smooth drive diesel engine, hydraulic suspension to relieve tension off axle when hauling. Overall it is been rated for having longevity after 200k miles. As long as a person take care of this truck like you would yourself, all is well. Very roomy, it can fit 6 people when travelling without being uncomfortable.

It is well made and it's very dependable, this is my fourth Nissan vehicle the other three lasted a combined 31 years.
This is the fourth Nissan vehicle I've had in 30 years. I have found them all to be very dependable and reliable. The inside of the vehicle is very comfortable and well laid out. It is very good acceleration with a V8 engine however MPG is on the low side, which is the only negative thing I have experienced.

It is 10 years old and still looks current.
My Nissan is 10 years old and still looks new. Have had very few repair issues with it. Only problem was radiator gave up, and had to be replaced.

It is so dependable. I would happily by a Nissan again and recommend it to others. I would caution them to find a way to keep it cool to prevent brittle plastic on dash and ceiling from cracking.
I love my vehicle because I have had no major problems with it. It's still going strong after ten years. I do dislike the fact that some of the interior plastic trim breaks in the heat.

Reliable comfortable and low maintenance.
This truck is very reliable. I have over 200, 000 miles on it. I have never had to do any major repairs on this vehicle. It is a very smooth riding vehicle. It is a very comfortable vehicle. Our truck has a crew cab and it is very roomy in the backseat.

Great truck
My crew cab titan 2wd has been a great truck. Gas mileager is fine 18 mpg. You want better buy a prius. Fit and finish is better than a lot of big 3 trucks. Take care of it and it will last.
accountCircle Brandon M
Heavy hauling beast on 4 wheels.
Reliable. No real big problems with it. Driver side window stopped working but other than that it's fine. Good in snow and is a beast when it comes to hauling. It is not good on gas about 10 mpg. Overall I would definitely recommend this truck despite some of its problems.

That it lasts for a log time
I don't like that the paint is starting to fade

I think for the size, it would of gotten better gas mileage like a small SUV.
It has been a dependable car for the 5 years I have had it. I do not like the gas mileage for it is particular size. I constantly have to fill up. It sucks gas bad. It also has road noise. I like the space in the backseat. I also like the bed cover that came with it, I use that often.

It's a Nissan Titan 2008. No automatic windows but comfortable seats.
I love it! It's been really reliable and great! I've had it for a long time and it's the best car that I've ever had! There's no problems except for it doesn't have automatic windows but other than that it's great! It has comfortable seats and great features! The first moment I saw the truck I knew I would love it! You should definitely buy this truck!

Nissan titan: odd highlights and details to keep in mind.
The gas mileage is terrible, otherwise it's amazing. The drive is smooth and it's very comfortable. The seat warmers are great to! The tires are a strange size so they are hard to find to change. The back seat has a lot of room in it and is very comfortable as well, there is plenty of legroom back there.

If you maintain your titan, it will make up for what you spent on.
The performance is excellent I really enjoy my titan. My comfort includes the space I have on my drivers and passenger seat. When compared to others I see the difference right away. I specially love that it's high and I can see all my surroundings it kind of makes me feel safer than a car.
