New Member Here.....Need Help Deciding!!!

[hogfan]

Hey everyone,

I have been lurking on this board for a while now, but I still can't decide which Titan to get. I have done plenty of research on this truck, so I am aware of all the options that each trim level are equipped with. To stay in my price range I am looking at either a Crew Cab XE or a King Cab SE. I am trading in a Ford SportTrac so I am used to having a large backseat for passengers. I am leaning towards the KC SE. I am not too concerned with passenger room, but I would like to know everyone's opinion on the room in the back seat of the KC. Any opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I can hardly wait until I get one of these trucks!!!!!!!!

If you have always had a crewcab style truck, stick with the crewcab. When you get the KC and keep the truck, you will feel bad not having that extra space.

Its a must if you have passengers IMO.

Welcome to titantalk

I agree you are use to a crew cab get that...I have one and the space is large...all the room in the world, the room in back of the king cab i find small, my fiance sat back there when i test drove one and she couldnt even sit straight forward and shes only 5'4...remember black is the fastest color

[pluckyew]

make sure you get the 4wd Off_Road package (with a rear Locker) with the Rckford Fosgate stereo, rest is trivial. tho Side Air Bag's good.

Smoke is THE fastest color

Crew Cab. The King Cab really isn't comfortable at all. I test drove one and had the salesman drive around the block when I was in the backseat. It wasn't fun.

[VShortt]

Oh, and yeah. Smoke is the fastest color.

[MO Titan]

It is canteen that is the fastest guys. As far as teh choosing goes, I guess you have to ask yourself what you want more; more interior or exterior space? More options or more space. Kind of a giive and take. I like the CC, but that is for my needs. Also, you get more chrome with the SE.

jhromy,

I was looking at a truck just like yours, except 4x2. Black is the color I am looking at since it gives you at least 5 additional horses I do, however, like the chrome accents, side moldings, and floor shifter on the SE. But the advantage to having a column shifter, is an extra passenger up front. This is a big decision.

But, I do know that as long as I have the Endurance, I will be happy!!!

I agree except for the RF stereo, and make sure it is Galaxy Black because they are trully faster.

I too will chime in on getting the CC over the KC... Best decision... You will be VERY thankful for the extra space and comfort. I did opt for the Big Tow Package as well but looking back, I would have liked to have added the 4x4 Off Road package instead of settling on the 4x2...

In Phx... Blizzard White is by far the fastest... ;-)

hogfan, It so completely depends on your needs and your background.

For me I would never waste the space that could be in the bed for a huge backseat that is not going to get a lot of use. As far as it not being comfortable, well opinions very there too, I found the back seat to be roomy and darn comfortable. No, it ain't no Maybach but it sure is better for comfort and room compared to a Silverado or an F-150 of the same configuration.

I'm buying a truck, I can't live with a little 5' bed...

It seems like everyone here is biased towards the CC for some reason. In reality however, the SportTrac doesn't really have a "large" back seat in comparison to other vehicles. The Titan's back seat in a KC is quite sufficient for normal driving. Would I want to take a week long road trip back there? Probably not. But for that matter I wouldn't want to sit in the back of a CC for that long either. MO Titan hit the nail on the head when he said it really depends on whether you want interior or exterior space more. By the way, I regularly haul around a group to and from lunch and put 3 people in the back of my Titan. Nobody's ever complained. In fact, they all thought it was rather large for a KC truck.

If you need the bed space then you have to go KC. I have a family to haul around so I got the CC. If I didn't have teenage kids I would have gone with the KC.

i added the chrome door handles and mirror covers...as far as the front i fell in love with the all black front end...it looks awesome...I have to agree with the extra horses for the black...Nissan seems to favor that color...

Hogfan - being from central AR - I would not purchase a black truck for this area- just look at your windows and notice that everything right now is GREEN. I have the CC - its great for the family, lots of room. And to clear up any misunderstandings, Silver is by far the fastest. 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 [/quote]
