Most by me seem to know by now how stout the T is. I only get challenges lately from yuppies in their Raptors.

Just the other week my buddy got his Z71 stuck in a field after running his mouth all day about my "jap truck". He then got his Ford tractor stuck trying to pull it out. Refusing to be pulled out the T. I waited until defeat sank in and finally asked "need some help?". Pulled out the tractor, pulled out the Z71 and then blasted through the spot he got them stuck in. While he stood there with a stupid look on his face. "Ready to do some real off roading now?" With his bruised ego he decided he was done for the day.
 
Oh and for the compliments I usually see people at the gas station staring then mouthing "Nissan Titan? Hmmmph?" With an impressed look on their face.
 
Try owning a Titan in small town south Texas...

I get treated as if I'm walking down the street with Osama bin laden....

we will have to get some Corpus/S. Texas guy's to do a run to kenedy or do lunch at Barth's. quite a few in Corpus, get the "nice Truck " pretty often .Plus 1 on the is that a ford triton? I get compliments all the time even with an S.Texas pinstriped 04.
 
I met some buddies at a tailgate party last fall. A few I had not seen in a while. One is a HUGE car guy, but owned a Tundra for a couple years which he modded the crap out of, it was a really nice truck. When I pulled up, he immediately started crawling through my truck. Asked about my intake, exhaust, and everything else. He like it a lot and said if I ever do headers, let him know, he will come help. He said that he lost to a couple of Titans when he had his Tundra, then he supercharged the Tundra to be faster. He kept walking back over and around the truck as we were tailgating!

I have had a few ask why did you get a Jap truck, but I respond and tell them it is more American now than their Ford or Chevy, which they can't argue too much and don't really like me to point out! I could not actually back it up with many facts, but it shuts them up quick.
 
The best compliment that I received was from my brother. He drives a 2011 F250 crewcab, shortbed, Powerstroke, leather interior, etc. It is really nice...for the $51k he paid for it. He is the guy who buys a 3/4ton diesel to drive he and his wife around in. He has nothing to tow. Anyways the first time he saw my T, he looked at it and was impressed by the overall look and stance, bed cargo box, the rear roll-down window, the nice leather and well laid-out interior. He asked what I paid for it and I told him $31k. He was blown away. A few days after that he started talking about getting a new 1/2ton truck. Then he realized how upside down he was on the F250 and couldn't afford to make the change.
 
I didn't see one of these so I figured I start one and see what outsiders think of the Titan.

I had one guy tell me it sounds good and others tell me I shoulda bought a Chevy lol.

When they ask me why I bought foreign I tell them "so I can tow your a#& back to the dealership".
 
I've got compliments on how nice it is. Because of that I've had haters spit on my truck, bend the antennae, throw trash in the bed, push my mirrors in, flatten tires and write messages with their fingers scratching my paint. Geez now that I've thought about it is it really worth owning a nice truck?? YES! F**K THOSE PUNKS!!

They scratched your paint?? That would cross the f--king line with me! I've had kids throw trash in my bed, which doesn't bother me... its a truck I don't care but if they went that far, I would flip shiet!

Complaints? I got people complaining why I don't help them move or tow their crap with my truck. lol!

My response is...."Well... if I can fit it under the hard tonneau cover, I'm fine with that. But, they always invariably ask if I can remove it. My response.... "I could but it's way too heavy for one person to lift off and then I'd have no place to store it at my location. Usually, I just hear crickets after I say that. lol! Towing? Well, that's an easy one because I didn't have a trailer hitch. Their response..."Can't you buy one? Sure, they cost about $200+ from Nissan so if you want to buy one for me, I'd go along with that. Again, usually I just hear crickets after I say that. lol!

Unfortunately, I recently found an early style (good version) factory Nissan Titan trailer hitch at the boneyard and had it powdercoated so I don't know how I'm going to get out of the towing one next time. Maybe I can just say..."Oh, I don't have wiring harness for it yet and they cost around $85 at the dealer...want to get me one?" lol!

Compliments? I've received a lot of "nice truck!" compliments from people. However, I don't get the extreme reactions some people around here get about their trucks. The funny thing is, I have some pretty unique mods on it, hood scoop with insert and rear spoiler, but maybe they blend so well it looks factory or something. I think most people are more impressed with huge lifts and huge wheels anyway. You know, the bling factor. Not my style.

Had to share this one. This just happened a few minutes ago. I'm up at my gfs job, a daquari shop. I'm smokin outside with a buddy of mine when a lowered Chevy pulls out of the drive through and stops by us. He asks us who's truck the titan was and I told him it was mine. I hadn't realized it I had race him just about a week ago and smoked him. He tells me we've raced twice and he's been dying to meet me and find out what I had done. He has a 4.8 with a superchips and exhaust. He's now setting up a race with his friend whose got a rcsb Chevy 6.0 with cams,intake,tranny work, posi track. We're suppose to try a 20 roll, 40 roll and a dig. Ill definitely have videos of this race lol. He said its running 13.1s but he just wants to watch us and I'm down. Anyways this guy was so excited he's like "man that last race I look down I'm doing 60 and your 3 cars ahead of me". I couldn't hide the grin.

I get the typical ********* should have bought American comments from the ignorant. I also get a lot how many miles and what year and when I say 180K + (now 183K) and a 2005 I get nothing but the sound of their jaw hitting the ground. My wife has guys wanting to talk to her all the time about her truck, she just says my hubby takes good care of her :)
 
Today a guy that lives 2 houses down the street stopped by while I was waxing mine and said he will drop his off next (joking of course) then he mentioned I have it looking good. Funny thing is I haven't done anything major yet, just 20% tint up front, charcoal bed rails, grill overlay (fake chrome plastic), and custom pinstripes matching my home country colors and significant to the rastafarian following. I never do anything major to any of my vehicles, I'm just known for hardly ever been caught with a dirty vehicle. My sister thinks I have a problem with obsessively cleaning my vehicles, and I'm starting to think she's right hahaha. Oh well!

Oh he drives a Black CC Sierra (new looking) w/chrome factory rims.

first 2 days of owning my T, i pull onto base and park in my usual spot...i come out at 1530 to go home, notice someones keyed all the way around my truck from headlight to headlight and got a little skitzo on the bedsides....and i mean not just a little keying....i mean ran around it a few times doing that sh!t...!! i hadnt been on this base for more than a month...welcome to new base party in the parking lot i guess... bastards.

I was told how amazing my T was, how sexy the paint color was, and endured a tidal wave of brown nosing.....then I finally got my struts put in and left Goree's house. Yeah, it got weird. :D
