Into the rabbit hole

Few cliques have been as tight as the full-size-pickup truck cadre, with the Big Three owning this mega-volume segment since the dawn of modern mechanical workhorses. Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, and GMC have kicked sand in the face of Toyota for two product generations, as the import-brand powerhouse has sought to gain a sizeable slice of sales that reach annual volumes in the hundreds of thousands for even the midlevel players.
Observing from the sidelines, Nissan learned lessons from Toyota and readied a brilliant product onslaught that's come to define the company's rebirth. About 45 years after Nissan introduced its compact pickup to America, the company rolled out the Titan, its first full-size truck based on the scalable Alpha platform that underpins the Armada, Pathfinder, Xterra, Frontier, and Infiniti QX56.
Rather than serve up a variety of body and powertrain configurations, Nissan struck at the heart of the market with King Cab and Crew Cab models and a single powerful engine. Even the exterior dimensions were simple: The Titan measures 224.2 inches and rides on a 139.8-inch wheelbase in either body style, with the Crew Cab conceding bed length to passenger space. The half-ton truck matches those of the Big Three players within an inch or two for each dimension, adding up to a full-scale pickup, and its production simplification has enabled aggressive pricing and a clear marketing message.
Pickup trucks increasingly are becoming not only commuter vehicles, but family transport. We ordered a five-passenger Crew Cab model, outfitted for comfort and adventure with several feature-rich option packages. Right off the Canton, Mississippi, assembly line, SE trims boast a generous roster of standard equipment, from essential power niceties to the more subtle details, like locking tailgate and rear A/C vents. To this, we upgraded the stereo to a Rockford Fosgate system (bringing along such unrelated items as adjustable pedals and a universal garage-door opener), prepped the truck for towing, and fit the bed with all available cargo-anchoring hardware.
The default engine is an all-new 5.6-liter DOHC V-8 that generates 305 horsepower and 379 pound-feet of torque, ratings the staff felt were conservative. At 305 horses, the "Endurance" engine outmuscles the base V-6 and first-level V-8 offerings from every competitor. Making a good thing even better, the engine is teamed with a five-speed automatic transmission, giving the powertrain a performance and fuel-economy edge that helps further distinguish the Titan from the OHV/four-speed competitors.
A 2WD base Titan has more immediate steering response and more communicative handling than the segment's isolated norm. We chose to equip our long-termer with the Off-Road package (17-inch wheels with dirt-loving BFGoodrich tires, Rancho shocks, more aggressive axle ratio, foglamps, tow hooks, skidplates, and bravado). It seemed a good idea at the time, but as recurring logbook notes point out, we sacrificed ride quality without gaining off-road traction through 4WD. All compromise, no reward, the unnecessary suspension diminished the staff appreciation for what's normally a commendable ride/handling setup.
Perhaps our best return on investment was spending $900 on the five-foot seven-inch Utility Bed package that featured a first-class factory spray-in bedliner and Utili-track system, with beefy, adjustable anchors. The rails can accept a wide variety of dealer-offered cargo holders, such as a sliding toolbox, making it easy to customize the box to an owner's specific needs. The package also included a driver-side lockable storage space in the fender, perfect for emergency gear. As expected, the bed was in constant use for bringing home DIY supplies, cabinets, furniture from storage, and even chasing storm supplies across hurricane-ravaged Florida. The textured liner meant not worrying about damaging a painted box's finish, and it held up well given all the objects that slid across it.
The 126-cubic-foot cabin provided ample passenger space for both rows, with many measurements exceeding the segment leaders'. The abundant storage received lots of praise, with large map pockets, large center console, cupholders, pen trays, and dash-top shelf. The wide, modestly bolstered seats were comfortable on long trips, aided by lumbar adjustments.
The Titan's dash design, drawing clear inspiration from the Altima with its rectangular vents, circular controls, and planar surfaces, stands out in the segment for its carlike appearance. The Rockford Fosgate head unit had a microplug input, enabling the staff to install an XM Satellite Radio system and listen to iPods. Still a rarity in this MP3-crazed age, this simple, affordable feature was among the logbook favorites.
As the year progressed, most criticisms were centered on the commodious interior. The stereo's Achilles' heel was its AM reception. Repeated Florida dealer visits were met with the insistence that all was fine, and it was ultimately corrected in California, with the trouble traced to a loose connection. Rear-seat riders routinely complained about how the non-adjustable seatbelt cut into their necks. The belts were eventually replaced under an unrelated safety recall, but the discomfort remained. A burned-out power point was replaced.
One unsolved mystery involved the haunted driver's seat that tilted forward a few degrees when parked. Never observed, yet regularly experienced, this phenomenon couldn't be reproduced at the dealer (figures!) or traced to the exiting method. A driver's door wind whistle developed that sounded like the window was down a quarter inch. This was remedied with a new weather strip, under warranty. Other service items included replacing brake rotors and pads under warranty to resolve a shuddering issue. Beyond warranty and scheduled service, no wear costs were incurred.
The first-year jitters were apparently not limited to our Titan, as Nissan ranked as the 32nd nameplate in the 2004 J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study. With the Titan and other new vehicles destined to play key roles in Nissan's revival, the company reacted swiftly by sending over 200 troubleshooting engineers to the assembly plants, design center, and parts suppliers. Just one year later, Nissan ranked 18th in the 2005 Initial Quality Study, ahead of Chevrolet, Dodge, and Ford.
Launch pains aside, the Titan has proven a strong alternative to the domestic-branded trucks at an attractive price point. It packs all the core essentials (robust engine, roomy interior, etc.) in distinctive styling with numerous special touches you won't find in others, such as the available spray-on bedliner. Our early-build Titan fell short in areas largely attributed to minor build quality issues that should resolved by now. Wipe the logbook criticisms, and we're left with praise for Nissan's accomplishment and the liveable, and indeed lovable, truck. On its first turn at the plate, Nissan hit the ball out of the full-size park, even if there was a bit of cork in the bat. The company will continue to flesh out the Titan lineup, and Toyota comes back up to hit soon enough.
Looks good! More details?| Our Take |
| What's Hot• Strong, smooth engine• Attractive, functional interior• Clever bed treatment, with spray-on liner, storage, and adjustable anchors available |

| Don't Miss• The standard engine is more powerful than all base V-8s in other pickups |
| Bottom Line• Powerful, right-priced competitor to the dominating domestics in the full-size arena |
| From The Logbook |
"The optional spray-in bedliner seems like something that ought to be standard in every pickup. A painted bed now looks incomplete by comparison, just begging to be scarred by the first cargo item it carries. "- John Matthius "Out of the dozen or more vehicles I've driven cross-country, the Titan ranks among the most road-trip friendly, thanks to steering-wheel audio controls, rockin' stereo, and more nooks and crannies than an English muffin. Just wish the off-road suspension were smoother, or that we didn't check it on the options list." - Jeff Bartlett "If this is 305 horses, they're Clydesdales and not Shetlands. Maybe it's the wide powerband or perhaps that the five-speed automatic's ratios are closer and keep the engine on boil. But, whatever, this thing hauls. And it hurls, too. Not crazy about the look of it, although everyone who saw it seemed to be. "- Matt Stone "Having the bed extender on the track so it can be moved back and forth is a great idea. However, being limited to removing it at 90-degree angles can prove awkward when loading the bed with cargo that's taller than the extender." - Danny King |
