Re: Pro's and Con's of a Long Bed Titan
You can put atleast 2 bikes in the bed, with the tailgate up. Its nice having the 37 gallon gas tank for long trips to races, dont have to stop as much. It looks amazing lifted. And its a new truck.

Re: Pro's and Con's of a Long Bed Titan
I would imagine that a con would be trying to park that bis-nitch.
It's hard enough parking my truck as it is........

Re: Pro's and Con's of a Long Bed Titan
After a couple weeks of driving it, you'll forget how long it is. Plus theirs a little more room for you toys and gear.

Re: Pro's and Con's of a Long Bed Titan
TitanRider, this is my first titan, and so far I am getting right around 12.3 mpgs with mixed driving. But I am always on the gas so thats some of the problem there.

Re: Pro's and Con's of a Long Bed Titan
I have the '08 CC LWB, and love it. Just going on it's 1 month birthday. I traded a dodge ram for this baby, I always said that my next truck was going to have a long bed, and then Nissan came out with the LWB for 08's and was all over it. But then again, I am one to always haul stuff for around the house. If you have a truck and never had the need for that long bed, it may not benefit you.

Re: Pro's and Con's of a Long Bed Titan
I guess the pros would be more room to hual around your toys and other stuff, longer wheelbases usually provide a better ride, and you get the bigger gas tank. The cons would be the increased turning radius and parking.
