Well not too sure of what you do for a living but since getting mine there are three new ones of people I know personally that are 'professionals' as well. First is my facilities Technical Director (3500 person facility), another is a Lawyer friend of the family (Tax Lawyer in a 4 lawyer firm) and last is a Real Estate Co. owner (2 Branches). Funny thing is, all of them own LE's with all the doodads in them. One of them is a 4X4.
A couple of others I know bought the LE Armada's though as well.

Personally, I am a Tech Specialist and my wife an office manager. Since its her truck mostly and has a secure covered garage to park in she has it most the daytime. She is an office manager.

After thinking for a while, I have decided that I would NOT advise anyone to buy a Titan if you are going to have clients, customers, etc, riding with you. All of your time that your clients will be in your truck they will be talking about how cool your truck is and about its features. You will have very little time to discuss products or services that you are trying to sell to them. The only thing you will be "selling" them on is the Titan! Buy a sedan or something else.

Hummer'2s a "bummer"

i'm a white collar dude at an investment bank/brokerage house.
I hunt wild hogs & deer (with an old '52 Lee Enfield rifle .308 cal., go mt bike racing, and play taekwondo karate.
Hummer2's mostly sytle, not much substance (note: i'm diss'ing the Hummber2, not the real Hummer1)
Titan's got syle and substance.
wanna play off-road, go with a ("low-tech") Jeep Wrangler Rubican.
want to do "lite" off road, but bring the whole family, get a six-seater Titan SE (with the locking rear differnential, for the dedicated) or the cool LE for comfort.
want to impress your deal makers, get a luxury sedan or sports car.

Thanks!

Thanks! That helps a lot. I am the superintendent of a very large college preparatory private school. I lived in Charlotte, NC for 20 years and just moved to MS (boy, talk about a change!

I don't sell anything per se, but it is important that the head of a large private college prep school not be seen as a "redneck" (a term, by the way, that I dislike as it needlessly and unfairly denigrates wonderful hardworking men and women). I also like to hunt as well as bike with the family.

After reading everyone's posts, I've concluded that a fully outfitted LE will be just fine (not to mention FUN!).

I don't think you'll have to worry about the Nissan making you fit into the redneck category. But if you want to... just follow these few steps.

1. Remove tailgate, and put in a netted tailgate thingy.

2. Add stickers to the bottom of your rear window of some little kid taking a pee on the Ford, Chevy, and Dodge emblems.

3. In the top left hand corner of the rear window, put up a huge decal of the truck you drive.

4. In the bottom right hand corner, paste your decal of your favorite NASCAR driver's number.

5. On your tow hitch, place a confederate flag, tow hitch cover.

6. Get a brush grd to cover the whole front end of the truck, add two lights with smiley face covers.

7. Add on two 8 foot tall radio antennas with lights. Mount one on each side mirror bracket.

8. Mount your gun rack above the back seat.

9. Around the license plate, mount a license plate frame touting the Dallas Cowboys, or Green Bay Packers (if you are from the north). Confederate flag frames, or frames with mottos of a sexual nature are also accepted. (Some come where they light up at night, but are illegal in some states).

9. Ad NRA bumper sticker to the left side of the rear bumper.

And finally, carry a half case of warm Busch Light in the bed in case if company comes over.

Durocab,

That's fine. Not all Dallas Fans are rednecks, but some rednecks will put the frame of the Dallas Cowboys over there license plate.

Being a fan is one thing, converting your truck into a creed of what you believe it regarding all your hopes and hobbies is another.

I don't have a Rebel Flag on anything I own. "Not that there's anything wrong with it".

Some fun I have with Rednecks and my foreign Titan is asking .."Where up north was your truck made? Then I ask them if they know where Canton Mississippi is located. Whoa,,,Let's think about that one.

Hey don't forget to put your insurance sticker next to the NRA sticker. Always a must for a redneck. Loved the list and the pictures!!

Bmosbacker,
I am glad you decided to get a fully outfitted LE. Your buying a Titan will be a good example for your college prep kids; you are making a strong statement about fulfilling your own dreams, being innovative, breaking the mold, not worrying about what others think, being first to stand out, being individualistic, not living your life to other's expectations, etc. Your spirit will soar with your new Titan. Pass that feeling to the kids in your school and let them run with it!
