2008 Nissan Titan or 2006

HollywoodDave · 06-09-2007, 09:26 PM

I live in Los Angeles, California and I found a 2006 Titan LE 4x4 with the off road package as well as the Big Tow. I got a quote from the fleet manager and he quoted me around 24K. It is fully loaded and has only 250 miles on it. I also talked with a salesperson and was told I could get a 2008 Titan SE without 4x4, or BT. I like the interior refinements, and I heard about the strengthened rearend, are those changes worth getting the 2008? What specicially did they do to the rearend?

Dave, new to TT

There is a thread over in the towing/hauling forum about the 08 differences. It looks like springs, shackles, and axles are the main changes to give the increased payload. If you were planning on towing a 5th wheel, I'd say go for the 08, because the pin weight of the 5th wheel is significantly higher than tongue weight of a similar standard trailer.

Thanx, any more input ?

To me the main changes on the 08 we just bought are the big brakes. But then that's because the wife tows her horses and the increased size is just extra insurance.
