Well, it's been a few months since I traded in the beloved Titan and I promised I'd give a progress report...
Overall, no big surprises. The diesel is great for towing and hauling (bought it and upgraded to a big 5th wheel). As for using it as a daily driver it's not a lot different than the Titan. It's a bit quiter inside and the visibility is better (for me anyway, I'm tall and the tint strip and rake of the Titan windshield always bugged me). All the ammenities inside are about the same. The controls are layed out pretty poorly and the defroster sucks compared to the Nissan. The stereo is close but I think the Fosgate in the Titan is a hair better. The seats are about the same for comfort. The rear seat is quite a bit smaller but I don't sit back there so I don't really care. The main difference is I have to put my groceries in the pickup bed rather than floor of back seat.
The main thing I miss about the Titan is the sportscar drive. I had a console shift and now have a column shifter. The Titan is much peppier off the line and really is just easier to get at the power. The Duramax of course has tons of torque and power but it's not so readily accessible like the Nissan. The best part of the Titan was that 40 to 60 passing ability... just throw it down into 3rd and punch it... it's pretty much instantaneous.
Overall, I just drive the new truck slower... it have much more of a 'big truck' feel. Sometimes it's what I'm after other times I really miss my Titan.
