If you're trying to tell us that you've beaten on all those trucks, and they're all 1/2 tons with no problems, sorry pal...I have to call BS. There's either something you're not telling us or you're a troll....sorry. None of us were born yesterday. It just doesn't add up. Out of all the Titans Nissan has sold, only you have had one actually fall apart before your eyes. I'm not buying it.
HVT, you obviously haven't read my posts. A F-350 and a Dodge 3500 are 1 ton trucks. I also never said that I hand no problems with my other trucks. I said they never had to go back to the dealer, unlike my 05 Titan which has been to the dealer 25 times in 23 months, and that doesn't count the 04 miserable performance.
In your eyes I am a troll. I guess you can call me that because I have been a member here since April of 04. Do a search of all my posts, you will find that the majority of them have nothing to do with the Titans lack of quality.
Unlike you, I haven't wasted my time fighting a losing battle over how sludge
does or does not form, or which octane give better performance, or saying how great the worthless Ragged Trail tires are, or saying that when towing a trailer just put in drive and go.
In other words, just because you don't agree with something or can't fathom how someone who lives and works in an entirely different environment than you
can have a completely different experience With Titan, doesn't mean it is not
true.
I am far from the only person that has had a bad experience with the Titan.
Many people who live where I do have had similar problems with their Titan.
If you had read some other threads you would have known that a timber company got rid of their 6 05,SE's because they were in the shop all the time.
I know it is hard for a city boy to understand what it is like to drive on our roads. My County is about 200 miles long X 50-75 miles wide. We have one main highway mainly 2 lanes that runs N-S and is closed several weeks each year. We have two highways that run W-E that are 1-2 lanes and are closed much of the time. We have 1200 miles of mostly unpaved county roads and 20
times that many miles of private unpaved roads. Our counties road budget is
$8 million, before last winter (130"+ of rain) we need $36 Million just for repairs to the county roads.
The Titan is just not up to driving on our roads. Nissan needs to upgrade their parts. Perhaps that is why Toyota's cost more than the Titan, they spend more on quality parts.
OH!, you said that the plastic door latch is actually just plastic coated metal. Better look again, 80% or more of that latch is plastic, it just has metal
inserts and sleeves in the high wear areas. That is just one of many examples where Nissan saved by using cheap parts that break instead of using a metal part that that cost a little more but doesn't break.Sure, these cheap parts
are adequate for most people that only occasionally drive on rough roads, but for those of us that see pavement only occasionally and driving on dirt roads is the norm, poor quality parts show up immediately.
