I have a KC and have never had problems with rear seat room. I'm 6' and I've had 6'4" passengers in the back without complaints. I've also carried loads that would not have fit in the bed of the CC. But, if you're moving up from a SportTrak, a large bed doesn't seem to be a preference of yours.

By the way, black is fastest. The pearl effect makes for better aerodynamic drag coefficients.

See thats what I keep telling everyone. I also think that the black color which attracts heat causes the air around the truck to heat up and move away from the truck, causing a vacume which alows the truck to move through the air without friction, thus making it the fastest titan by far

Again, black is only the fastest at night - when no one can see you. The only thing that I've seen black attract is dirt and swirl marks!!

I debated the same things for a while before I bought mine. We have three kids that get hauled around, but 90% of the time I am the only one in my truck. The kids are fine in the back of the KC for short trips around town. Besides, I need the bed space for the fourwheeler and other such hunting impliments. I just gotta have the ability to haul 2X4's or plywood without worrying about flagging them.

Oh yeah, by the way, RED ALERT is definitely the fastest color out there. Sorry guys. but my truck is hot in that color!

Here's my two cents worth. I started with an 04 KC LE 4x4 in radiant silver. It was a great truck and I never had a problem with it. One thing I did notice though, we had a 45 mph south wind one day and I was driving into it. I started hearing a relay click somewhere and then noticed my interior lights were coming on when the relay clicked. On that same trip, I was driving crosswind and also got the clicks. Never did figure it out, other than it had to be a door sensor somewhere activating due to pressurization? Dealer was stumped as well.
I wanted a new truck in December and got an 05 LE CC 4x4 in Red Brawn (the absolute fastest color). One thing I noticed immediately was how much more solid the door sound is when it closes. The cab is much more rigid due to the door post. Check it out at the dealer and you'll see what I mean. The back seat in the CC is big, but I've heard people say their kids gripe about the seatback angle, so I don't think I'd want to ride across country in either a KC or a CC, but for around town and for loading items or hauling people, the independent rear doors are really nice. AND with the CC you also get the power rear window and reverse sonar (not sure about that on an XE).

You'll be happy with either one, just answer your needs at the dealer before deciding.

I guess everyone else is wrong - since I've been told that I drive a rice rocket , I must be the fastest. Black is only fast at night (when no one can see you), Smoke only camouflages the issue, the Brawn Red makes you a tough stop sign, and Deepwater is good for submarine racing. Plus being a Radiant Silver I'm going fast in style and grace

The pollen is bad this time of year. My Sporttrac is black. Not quite as bad in Conway though as it was when I lived in Southern Arkansas. The short bed, along with the puny 4.0 V6, are the two main reasons I am wanting to get rid of the Trac. Even the bed length on the CC would be an improvent over the 4' bed I have now.

Why do people hate black so much? Because it's faster.

Nobody want's the same truck that a Squid drives. That's like driving the same car as the 80 year old woman with blue hair who lives down the street....

I think everyone here has pretty much covered the CC vs. KC. Are you buying it for you? Who will drive it most? How often will the back be used? How often will the bed of the truck be used?

NOW, with that said, from the way you talked, it would be an XE in the CC and an SE in the KC, right? In that case, how much difference is the SE going to mean to you? You have to drive it everyday...you don't want to get an XE and wish you had an SE.

I wish I could have afforded an LE with Nav

Guess I'll just have to settle for what I got and add the leather later

4x4 + crew cab is my recommendation. I have galaxy black and love it but unless you enjoy washing it twice a week, don't get it.
Black adds 2 seconds on your 1/4 mile!!!!!

Get as much as you can afford. Its like buying a house. You spend alot of time in it. While I wouldn't buy a black house, I would only buy a GALAXY BLACK Titan.... because it is undoubtedly the fastest.

loutitan · 04-13-2005, 04:54 PM

try to take a test drive at the dealer and sit in the back while somebody driving.
at least u will see and feel it

jc344 · 04-13-2005, 06:31 PM

I had the same question when I purchased my XE CC. I decided that the extra room for my kids was worth more than the SE package. I got the preferred package on the XE, which has all power and everything I wanted from the SE. The only thing I don't like is the XE wheels, but I'll change those out as soon as I wear down my tires. As for bed space, I have a trailer that I use for anything that won't fit in my bed.

I like the color matched front end much better than the chrome. Too much for my taste.
