2005 Nissan Titan Pricing Announcement

[new-nissansDOTcom]

Nissan has officially announced 2005 pricing information to their dealers. With the launch of the class leading Titan in 2004, Nissan not only earned the respect of the automotive press with numerous awards, they also put the competition on notice that Nissan is serious about the truck business. To that end, Nissan will continue to build momentum into 2005 with a variety of feature, quality and packaging enhancements to keep the Titan firmly ahead of the competition, all while maintaining their strong value-oriented position.

This announcement came October 14th, 2004. I have taken a couple of days to consider how we can best provide everyone with 2005 prices as I know so many have patiently waited. At this time, where Nissan has provided its dealers with the 2005 official prices, we still don’t have these prices formatted in our database build program, to quote each and every one of you just yet. Meanwhile, this hopefully will give you enough information to satisfy some curiosity.

With the launch of the 2005 vehicles, Easygate dampened tailgate assist and redesigned front seats with active head restraints have been made standard on all trims. Additionally, a new feature, vertical power sliding back glass with rear defroster, has been added as standard to all Titan Crew Cab models.

In addition, the following trim-level improvements have been made:

XE
• For enhanced bed protection, Spray-in Bed Liner is now available as an option ($450). On 2wd models, rear-wheel limited slip (ABLS) will be made available for the first time as part of a new Traction Package ($300).

SE
• A 6-Disc in-dash audio head unit has replaced the single CD system as standard equipment. As on XE models, rear-wheel limited slip (ABLS) is now optional as part of the Traction Pkg. Rear Proximity Sensors will be offered for the first time on SE (part of SE Popular Pkg.). SE Popular Package with Bench searing will receive an 8-way power driver’s seat.

LE
• Brushed aluminum-look accents have been added to the dash and center console to further enhance the LE’s upscale interior environment. Rear Proximity Sensors have also been added as standard, while rear-wheel limited slip has been added to all 2wd LE models. Additionally, front bench seating will now be optional to expand seating capacity to 6 passengers. Step Rails on King Cab models have moved from standard to optional.

Other Changes
• Off-Road Package on all 2wd models has been discontinued.
• Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) has been removed from the Big Tow Package and is now part of the Side Airbag Package on 2wd SE and 2wd LE models.
• New “V8 Titan” front door badging replaces front fender “Endurance V8” badging.
• New exterior color “Red Alert” (bright red) has replaced Sedona.
• New interior color “Steel” (grey) has replaced Sand/Steel.

The new MY05 Titan Invoice base prices are as follows:
(According to my analysis the average base price increase from 2004-2005 is about 1%)

• XE KC 2wd $20,474 - CC 2wd $23,051
• SE KC 2wd $22,418 - CC 2wd $24,677
• LE KC 2wd $26,440 - CC 2wd $28,971
• XE KC 4wd $23,366 - CC 4wd $25,943
• SE KC 4wd $25,310 - CC 4wd $27,570
• LE KC 4wd $29,197 - CC 4wd $31,728

Great info, thanks!
When do they hit the dealer lots?

[1badz06]

will they have a green? doesnt look like it?

[Kalani938]

It says the base CC SE starts at 24,600? Is it really that much cheaper than last years (26,700)? If that's true then I may just wait and get an 05'.

[Noslo]

24,600 is the invoice price.
26,700 is the MSRP.

[k94max]

Yip Yip Yahoo. Now I can start dreaming about prices again. Thanks for the info

[Kalani938]

Okay, thanks for the info Noslo.

• SE KC 2wd $22,418 - CC 2wd $24,677

Is this the one (CC 2wd) that is in question? If so the MSRP is $27,300, and I didn't bother to look up the 04 amounts, but I can assure you that the cost is about 1% more from 04 to 05, not to mention the eventual drop of rebate.

To answer some other common questions:

-The power rear sliding window is standard and only available on the Crew Cabs.

-Canteen Green will still be offered.

-We will see our first 05s in December.

can we add the power feature to the 04 model

[nursecrickett]

Yeah, I'd sure like that option on my 04 too....anyone?

Thanks!

If the entire rear window goes up & down, I would think that the rear cab wall & window design has to be quite a bit different (thus precluding easy retrofit). Or maybe just a small portion in the middle of the rear window goes up & down?

Man that sucks that's what I wanted the most! I could have sworn i saw a pic of an 05 KC with a sliding rear window. Hmm the 04 with rebate is sounding a little better now. Got to say im dissapointed. Oh well can't have it all i guess.

[TruckNitz]

Are the interior modifications/upgrades truly an improvement? I am about 2 weeks away from buying a 2004 LE CC and I gotta know. Thanks. Also, How about some pics of the "interior"!!

[dcrobt]

get the 2005 this time next year

[MDO]

I have an SE with the Popular Package. I wish I could have proximity sensors with my 2004. Then again I got the rebate which I don't think will be offered with the the 2005's before mid Summer.
