What gear do I drive in city with "D" or "4" ???
I just bought my Titan today(8-18-05) I love it very much. I traded in my 1999 Dodge 2500 4x4 w/ Cummins diesel. I will miss the diesel part but anyway. What gear does everybody drive around town in? From past vehicles I never drove around in "OD" in town. But according to the manual it says to drive in "D" in normal driving conditions. What does anyone else think...

Drive in D-the transmission ECU will determine the right gear.
Just put that baby in D;it doesn't mean you will always be in 5th(OD) it just allows the transmission ECU to put it in 5th if it "wants"to.The transmission a selects the gear that best fits the load-throttle position.Congrats.Charlie

D is basically the overdrive gear, it might not go into overdrive but that's where it should be for normal driving.

Since I run bigger tires(34.5") I run in 4th around the street, this keeps it from hunting back & forth from 5th...

I drive in 4 around the city, no need for my truck to be in overdrive at 45mph. Even in 4 my rpm's are still under 2000 at 45mph

I run around down shifting with the little manual shift button so I'm in 4 more than D. I get good milage imo. There's lots of hills here plus I suffer from DILISIS (drive it like I stole it syndrom) so I like to downshift to help slow me down after passing tons F150's and Chevy/Dodges or what ever. I bought my Titan a week after I got smoked by a lincoln aviator at a stop light. My frontier has since had a For Sale sign in the window :P . I havn't seen the aviator guy since, (yes I've been looking  ).
