Hi guys, ok so I've had the truck 2 weeks and it doesn't whine when i drive it on the highway.
first impressions
1 it's quiet! - no 60 MPH whine
2 the high beam headlight are whoofully under whelming! - need information on LED or HID replacement
3 rides ok - like the red one
4 box is about 1/2 inch wider - cover from red truck fits but the clearance on the sides is larger
5 towed 2 seadoos and trailer ( about 1200 lbs) didn't even know it was there

The rubber bed mat from my 2005 fits this new truck exactly, surprised you’re saying the beds are larger now.

All current generation Titans have halogen high beam headlights. It's the low beams that range from halogen (lower trims) to LEDs (on Pro-4x and above, along with LED DRLs). No LED or HID high beams are available from the factory. I very much dislike the different colors on my Pro-4x with LED low beams/halogen high beams, and the fact the high beams aren't that bright (I don't see much improvement over my very bright LEDs at night using my high beams).

Super_Bright_LED_Headlamps - Retro-Solutions Store

Pricey, but they're the best I've found. Vendor on here, etc etc. I've had 9 sets of either HID's or LED's from these guys in many vehicles, including 2 of their older generation LED's in my Titan. I've compared them with some Amazon LED's that claim anywhere between 3000-4000 lumens, and the Amazon LED's don't even come close.

Just recently put their 55W HID's in my 2018 Pathfinder low beams, and I'll be putting in LED's for the high beams soon. I would not suggest HID's for high beams as they're designed and built for projectors. If you put them in reflector housings the light will scatter significantly.

high beams, tail/turn signals (rear at least) and reverse lights are all incandescent lights, so I'll change things as I can but the headlights will be first

My factory HID’s on my Challenger SRT come with the equally fancy price to replace them should you need one @$140 each bulb, you can keep those hid’s, they aren’t that great of an item.

I paid about $120 for a set of 55W HID's plus relay harness from retro-solutions for my Pathfinder. Very happy with them so far. Light output is great.
