Pros & Cons of Owning Titan?? New owner

MAKAVELI · Sep 20, 2006

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and im also a new owner of a 06 Titan SE.

I was just wondering what the Pros and cons of owning this truck are..

I used to have an 05 altima that i did not have one single problem with. Traded that in for a Titan and so far i have gathered that my truck..

-makes wierd noises on the dash or steering wheel that seems to stop when i push down on it.

-my door sensor was not working right and my door light would go off while i was driving

- the outside seems to make a thump noise when i go over bumps

-i also heard that tinting your windows is a loss because the tint gets scratched in a matter of months?

So far i am a little dissapointed with the quality that nissan put into this truck. any pros to my choice over the ford f150?

also i know nothing about lift kits / rims and tires. what is a reasonable price for a good quality 6" lift kit / black rims out the door??

i really would appreciate all your feedback.

I've had my TITAN CC LE since March '06. The only drawback is the fuel mileage, and that is only because gas costs too much here in Oregon. Other than that, my truck ROCKS. It'll do anything I ask of it.

All vehicles have their little quirks, but overall this is a great truck and your not like every other Joe driving a Chevy or Ford! As far as the windows, if you get them tinted make sure you have the felt pieces they will most likely recommend installed. Enjoy your Titan!

I agree that and fuel milage and I figured if I wanted quiet comfort I would have bought a Maxima. I love my truck even with its quirks.

Ok thanks a lot guys! Yea i do agree i am glad im not in a trendy ford of chevy like you mentioned bad azz. and i do love the way it drives just buying a new truck little things like that bum me out a little.

but i mean i guess the only drawback so far was like mentioned the gas mileage is horrible and i need to talk my fiance into allowing me to fix it up!

I just traded my lifted chevy in on a titan because of rattles and quirks. The Nissan is definitely much better built.

as CVTitan said, the biggest drawback is your bank account. At least it is for me (school expenses blow a$$)

most of the 06 and 05 ive seen, my friend has an 05, have the felt inside the window channel.

I have had mine 18 months and never had an issue with window tint at all. If you take the truck to the dealer and where you are getting all the squeeks and creaks take a post-a -note and attach to the area where you hear them it helps the tech alot. I had two spots < center area where the nav goes and in a door pocket area> where I couldn't figure out what the noise was and they were fixed with no probs , but the service manager came out and told me how much easier it was for the teck to find the noises. The thump I think seems to be just part of the truck . The quality of the truck is very good , is like nissan of the late 70's early 80's no but still very good for a truck .

I have had my 05 kc for about a year and a half and i cant think of any cons. I love my truck.

JGs Tighten · Sep 20, 2006

Window tint scratch are all over my cousin's Titan (06 CC LE) but not on my 06 CC LE. Check this link for window scratches=
The only con I have is that it is hard to stop looking at the truck and its hard to decide what to do next. It takes up entirely too much time.
Peace

I'll have to agree with the said statements mentioned. It aint like the big three. NO NO NO It's something very unique and quite different. Id personally like mine to be a show stopper. Cleanest looking truck out there with the proper lift and wheels tires combo imo at least(still waiting on my lift and rims though hehe) But as an ex-owner of a f150 crewcab- the Titan blows its doors off. Accelaration, power, body lines, room/comfort and practically just about everything else.

Cons on the other hand- a little rattle from my dvd overhead player, but it aint that big of a deal, cars/trucks and any other vehicle out there is simply just made by MAN,................and as you know Man aint perfect!

Just enjoy your beast:cheers:
