New member, New Titan
Hello Everyone,
Just started reading this forum tonight and so far it looks like an amazing resource with a number of great people contributing; I haven't experienced this since I was a member of yotatech when I had my '91 4Runner. After 4 "dark years" of car life I'm happy to be back into the 4x4 world after buying a 2012 Titan Crew SV SWB last night. Unfortunately I won't take ownership until next week as the dealer had to source an Ink Blue model from Southern Ontario. Was a long hard decision, but the price, features and feel of the vehicle beat out a comparibly equipped F-150. I really wanted to like the Ford, but I knew the moment I sat in the Titan, it felt like I was home. I already have the accessory/mod bug... and I am seeking advice from veteran Titan owners as to the "best bang for the buck" items I should consider getting. The first thing on my list is Weather Tech floor mats. The next item I am considering is a box topper or retractable tonneau cover. One issue of concern for me is fuel economy. I know it's a truck but I am considering a few light mods to help with this if anyone has proven that it is in fact worth it. (CAI/Exhaust/Tune) I have read a few threads already and there seems to be a lot of conflicting information. Anyways, sorry for the long first post (to anyone that read it all) and I hope I get to know you guys well over the time I own my Titan. I will be uploading pictures as soon as I can, hopefully as early as next Friday. - Okeanos (Oceanus was taken and Okeanos is apparently another variation of it, thought it appropriate for a blue titan.)

Re: New member, New Titan
welcome to tt. to be honest i wouldn't really worry about the mpg's just enjoy the truck, do want you want to it and make it your own.
 the best thing for mpg on our T's is your right foot. if you can control that you will improve your mpg's. good luck with that i know i can't lol. congrats on the new purchase.

Welcome to the site. Congrats on the titan. I will agree that the right foot makes the biggest difference on mpg.

Re: New member, New Titan
As said before. in here the only mod that helps MPG is your foot.
If you are married, EVERY mod helps MPG. Welcome to TT

Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes. I know Bulludog has a MPG coach, but I am guessing that is the same as the instant fuel economy readout on the Titans cluster?
Just when I thought the truck researching was over, now I have to start researching accessories. Like an aftermarket fog light kit that fits in the OEM holes. Quote:

Re: New member, New Titan
Blah... weather tech floor liners...
Go with Husky. IMO they are the best, always stay in place, and last forever!!! HIDS = Hit up JB he's awesome. TT is full of info.... and places to spend your money. It's addictive.

Really? I saw some Husky Liners today and they feel so much more flimsy then the Weather Techs I got for my step-moms rogue. I'm talking about the nice WTs, not the cheaper rubber ones.
Also...the HIDS you mentioned, thats for the fog lights I'm looking into? Sent from my Galaxy Note |

Re: New member, New Titan
I'm just busting your balls about the liners. lol A lot of people on TT like the weather techs. I just never caught the bug.
Hid's are best for your low beams, although you can run them in your fogs. They look sick. Your going to have to do some snooping around on your truck but find out if it is pre-wired for fog lights.

Yea, I don't get the truck till next week but I'm crossing my fingers that it is prewired... if it is, looks sooo easy.
Yea.. I have been through the WT vs Husky debate before in the yota world. Sent from my Galaxy Note |
