Hi guys, I’ve been lurking for the past few days and finally decided to get in on the action. The last two trucks I’ve owned were Nissan. Both were 2WD (before they were given a name) with the first being a regular cab and my current being a king cab. I’ve had nothing but good luck with both of them and am now coming up on purchasing another. I’m at the point in my life where I want to enjoy some of it’s finer points and honestly don’t want to settle on a small to medium sized truck. I’d like to move into a full-sized for the sole reason of, “because I can”. True, I don’t really need a full-size truck. I don’t tow stuff, haul massive quantities, hunt or camp. I just want one! I’m sure some of you can relate?

To date I haven’t test drove a single vehicle and am not sold on the Titan yet. I have a Hemi Ram guy setting behind me at work who swears by the truck…or all Dodges’ in general. Another co-worker says Ford is the top rated truck and the way to go. Decisions decisions!

I totally understand when buying a vehicle the first year out your taking a chance and some of the things I’ve read here haven’t fared well on my mind. It truly sounds like there may be some kind of electrical issue with the Titan. Not a good thing, especially when smoke is involved! Others seem to have had problems with quality control items or the lack of attention to detail on the dealer’s part which doesn’t sound like the Nissan I know!

Like I said, I’ve only begun the research process and was pleased when Nissan announced the release of a full-sized truck. If the Titan is anything like the last two trucks I’ve owned I’d be sold in a heartbeat, but that remains to be seen. This place may swing my decision one way or the other but I guess that’s what it’s all about. I’ve enjoyed the read and will be hanging out here to get a nation-wide feel for the Titan. Hopefully in the spring, I’ll be driving one!

P.S. By the way, my name is Bill.
