I have a few questions for you Titan owners

atcNick · 01-28-2004, 10:37 PM

Hi,

Im thinking about getting a Titan and I've got a couple questions.

1. Are the back windows power or manual?

2. Is there a difference in the ride/handling of a 4x2 with the offroad package vs. a 4x2 without the offroad package?

3. How easy is it to order a truck from a dealer? Do they try to convince you to buy one from their inventory or is it as simple as asking them to order you one?

4. I want a sunroof but I dont want the DVD and side airbags which are required options with the sunroof. Anyone know if Nissan is planning on changing that?

5. Where's a good place in Texas to get a good aftermarket sunroof installed? Whats the price range on something like that? Im in Longview, TX but I can travel to Houston or Dallas and the surrounding area if need be.

6. Does the 4x4 Titan sit higher than the 4x2? Or is it the offroad package that makes it sit higher?

Thanks in advance.

1 - Power on my LE CC

2 - the off-road should be firmer because of the Rancho shocks. I find the ride on the non-off-road to be quite SUV-like..

One more question. How does final gear ratio effect the ride/acceleration? Looks like the standard is 2.94 but with the offroad package its 3.36:1

Thanks.

I had no problem ordering my Titan. In fact, my dealer was all for it.

yea, when i went and test drove one, i asked if they had any with offroad package and they said "no, but we can order one no problem"

1. Manual back window on SE or XE.

2. Don't know,olny drove 4wd.

3. It's not hard, especially if they will make money on you. You should actually be able to order for less in some cases.

4. No idea.

5. No idea. Up north a ways.

6. I don't believe the offroad makes much difference. I think the 4wd does.

[quote=dd564]1. Manual back window on SE or XE.

When you say back window do you mean the slider in the rearward looking window? (As far as i know this manual)

Or the back side windows in the door? (I believe these are power, at least in the SE's i've been in)

I was reffering to the back side windows in the door. I've been to the dealership several times and each time I forget to check on that. LOL

Oh, I always assumed those were powered.

If the difference between a 2WD and a 4WD is 1.6". And the Off-Road Pkg adds .8" to hieght. Then the following should ring true:

The 2WD vs 2WD w/Off-Road is .8"

The 2WD vs 4WD difference is 1.6"

The 2WD vs 4WD w/Off Road should equate to 2.4"

The 2WD w/Off-Road vs 4WD is .8"

The 2WD w/Off Road vs 4WD w/Off-Road is 1.6"

The 4WD vs 4WD w/Off Road should equate to .8"

Follow that? ROFL....

Ummm.....what was the question again??!! LOL jk

I don't know if your shopping for a KingCab or CrewCab
but all CrewCabs have power windows front & rear.

The XE just doesn't have the auto up/down feature on the front.

atcNick,

My post was a reply to your item #6.

Basically all Titans without mods fall within 2.4" of each other.
