I plan on owning one in the next few months and need to know what to expect.
thanks

Best is apperance

Worst is unproven track record (brake problems)

Best----raw, HEMI embarassing power

Worst---fuel mileage

I think the best feature would be the "fun factor." I didn't buy my truck for fun, I purchased it for a work truck. But the truth is it is a hoot to drive, plus it looks darn good as well.
The only negative I can think off is the fact that it is a big truck which makes it a little difficult to get in those tight parking spaces.

BEST - POWER and FUN

WORST - not a HUGE deal but gas...

BEST - 305 motor

WORST - Seats (maybe I need to put in some leather seats)

Its a Big truck with a Big V8. Just make sure to get the brake rotor and pads (Tech Bulletin) done and simply enjoy the Truck the way a truck is to be enjoyed.

Best- Drivetrain, engine and transmission combo- nothing else is close

Worst- everyone wants to race.

yea gas part sux, but the titan still gets better fuel milage then the hemi, chevy 6.0 and ford 5.4L. So whats to complain about.

What to to expect...

Expect to be the envy of every person who rides in it!!

Pros-Everything!!

Cons-Brakes (not bad thought), Gas

BTW-Do you have a bigger picture of your avatar. That's a pretty sweet ride. And the truck ain't bad either...

Haven't had this much fun driving a vehicle since my Integra GSR.

Down side, gas, for a truck its not bad 17, but at $2.20 a gal. anything less than 40mpg sucks.

Pro- the neck snap when you stomp it a little

Con- you have to swipe your card twice at the self serve stations that have a $50 limit

The best is the motor trans combo-the hy mpg(I can now get an honest 20+ at ~65-68 with CC on)-and the relatively cheap price for such a hotrod-and the availability of full airbags systems even on cheapo XE's
The worst is the original "placement" of the front seats on my 2004 XE KC.I was constantly readjusting myself because I was sliding forward.I have since shimmed the front of the front seats up about 3/4" and it is much better.The city mpg isn't great-12-13mpg in hard 11 stops per mile city and 16mpg in city that involves driving on "freeways or expressways" that run thru the city.This is actually about average city mpg for a full sized V-8 truck-about the same as Ford and chevy,better than Dodge,not as good as Tundra-.Our hy mpg is better than average-Better than Tundra~same as Ford-Chevy-better than Dodge.Luck.Charlie

330+ horse power

Prices on aftermarket parts.

Pros, Good aftermarket parts availablitly and loads of power.

Cons- 04 brakes. Not a big deal,
