Okay guys. I'm 19 and have always loved the Titans. I have 4,000 dollars on a down payment for one and there's an 05 CC LE 4x4 for $11,700.115,000 miles. But there is also an 05 KC 4x4 for 12,300. 114,000 Miles. I'm 19 so i really have no need for the 4 doors. But I love the rear sliding window on the CC versions. I'm just posting to ask if there's any other deciding factors on buying the CC or the KC. Any upsides or downsides to either one? Mileage, how good are they after 100,000 miles? My parents had an 06 Titan brand new that we put 80,000 miles on in 3 years and we never had a problem with it, which is why i love the Titans, and ours got beat to hell and still ran like a champ.
CC Vs. KC. which one should i get?

The King cab is the XE. The crew cab has the 4x4 and the towing package.

ive owned both a KC and CC. for work capabilities i MUCH prefer my KC....only cause it has a slightly bigger bed. that extra ft really makes a difference. the LWB titans are just to big for were i live. my CC was really nice simply for the amount of interior space. when ppl come visit we used to be able to use the T now we cant. my CC also rode a lot better then my KC does. the kc is a little lighter and rougher but IMO a little more agile.
all in all i think i like my KC better. it has what i really need and the CC didnt. you could always get a bed extender though. for your situation it seems like, by what youve told us, the LE CC would be more for your $ because of resale values. most ppl like the CC and they are easier to sell plus the KC is a base XE....you could prob pick that up for 8k around here. good luck and let us know what you decide. btw, cant help you on the mileage thing(not there yet) but i would assume you will have a couple problems here and there. thats with any vehicle w/ 100k+ miles. get a warranty if you can.

since the prices/mileage are similar, I'd go for the one that has the most options included. You say you don't need a 4 door, but don't you have friends? Sure you don't have to bring them, but say you have a small tool box that you don't want to leave in the bed, you could place it any inside. Personally I have an 08 CC SE (I think) Its more truck than I need but I always get compliments on people who simply are astounded by the comfortable interior and features. I came from driving small sports cars so I'm not a big fan of the turning radius but I love the comfort of my truck, some times during my lunch break I take a nap on the back bench seat, (I'm not 6'0" and I sleep pretty comfortably)..
Also if they have 4x4 on both I think the CC is a more logical choice, but depends on what you plan on putting in the bed.

cc shorter bed, kc longer bed. i'm 19 also, and i never though i'd need a big cab, but it sure is nice to have the extra room in the back seat. I have a kc and love the longer bed though for my dirtbike. Can you get a lower price on those trucks? thats alot of miles especially considering its on a first generation truck, and a model year that problems still existed. I'm not sayin not to buy it i'm just sayin maybe they can give you a little lower price? And mileage is around 15-16 average, lifted is a little less mileage.
oh, kc's look cooler:teethmast

yeah go for the crew cab since its cheaper and has so much more than the XE king cab. You will have bucket seats instead of the bench, floor shifter instead of the column and so much more for less money. I have a 06 crew cab LE and love all the options on it.

Personally, I would never buy any truck with over 100,000 on it unless it was dirt cheap, and $11,000 is not dirt cheap.

Actually, you can get a Titan XE king cab in 4X4. It's been like that since the Titan debuted.
To the OP,
the king cab has a few pros and cons.
Pros: it's more proportional looking, has a longer bed, no B-pillar in the way when all the doors are opened, smaller cab space which feels more intimate and sportier. Cons: squeaks and rattles due to no B-pillar support structure, legroom is more cramped in the back, rear door windows don't roll down.
The crew cab has a few pros and cons:
Pros: full sized legroom for backseat passengers, stronger cab structure meaning less squeaks and rattles due to B-pillar support. Cons: looks unproportional in some angles, negative "family man" image due to 4dr configuration, short bed is useless if you need the length of a fullsize truck bed.
I got the king cab because I didn't want the family man image that the 4 dr configuration would evoke. Since only two people at the most (including me) would ever be riding in my truck, I didn't need a 4 door crew cab. Since I need more space than a single cab, but not quite as much as the crew cab, I went with the KC because it fit my needs perfectly.
Actually, the KC's are cheaper than the CC's when comparably equipped. On average, it's about $2k you'll save in purchasing a king cab compared to a crew cab. Also, the crew cab weighs about 250+lbs heavier than a indentically equipped KC.

Whichever one looks better to you. That's all that matters as long as it's in good shape. Make sure the tires are in good shape too. You dont want to buy a truck then $800 in tires.
