Nissan's big truck stands high and stretches long,
with a box in back drawn out for six feet and
seven inches. Power stems from the Endurance V8,
Titan's all-aluminum engine displacing 5.6 liters
and producing 305 hp plus truck-hauling torque.
Linked to the engine is an electronically-controlled
Torq-King automatic transmission with five forward
gears and a tow/haul mode. Both rear two-wheel-drive
(2WD) and four-wheel-drive (4WD) modes are available,
along with a unique truck box track channel tie-down
system and a factory-applied sprayed bedliner.
The
4WD equipment utilizes a shift-on-the-fly system
working through a two-speed electronic transfer
case and switch-operated locking rear differential,
plus a brake-activated limited-slip traction control
system (TCS).
The
Titan splits into two cab configurations with
the King Cab and Crew Cab. The King Cab has two
front-hinged front doors and two rear-hinged back
doors that swing wide to nearly 180 degrees for
easy access to the cab. The Titan Crew Cab carries
four conventional front-hinged doors and seats
for as many as six. The Crew Cab trims out in
base XE, mid-level SE and deluxe LE editions,
while the King Cab employs the same designations.
Safety gear extends to optional front seat side-impact
and curtain-style air bags.
