Thanks Leo, I have only 429 miles on my 08 PRO-4X CC LWB and am also very happy with it but haven't had it long enough to be able to compare a lot of stuff to my 04 SE CC. Glad to hear yours has been good. I just have to get out and drive mine more!
3000 Miles in a 08 CC LE 4wd LB
I just wanted to give my quick impressions after 3k miles (purchased in oct 08) in my 2008 CC LWB LE 4wd Titan.
This truck has lived a very busy life! I dirt bike, alot, and with this truck it's been such a blast! What sold me on this truck was the commercial (see nissan, advertising works!) with a KTM in the bed of this truck. My strong attraction was 4 full doors and a long bed in a 1/2 ton pickup. This truck has not disappointed.
I've also towed a fully loaded (8k pounds or so) travel trailer without any problems, well except gas mileage! Gas mileage while towing was about 7 or 8 95% highway, very low, much lower than expected.
Gas mileage has been decent. I'm average 13 mpg, 50% city, 50% highway. I get between 14 and 16 on the freeway. This is what i expected and I am ok with it.
The interior of this car and the drive are top notch. It's quiet, it's comfortable, it's the perfect family car for us. The sound system is also great for a stock system and the car's bluetooth feature and memory seats are AWESOME!
The long bed and the utili-trak system is also very useful, it's so nice to have that big bed back there to carry everything from junk to motorcycles.
My only gripes:
The turning radius is awful, dreadful even. My previous truck was a 98 GMC Sierra, and it's turning radius was bad, but the titan's is much worse, i'm sure there is a reason for this, but i dont know it. Parking this thing can be a huge PITA. Probably my biggest gripe.
Other gripe would be the paint doesn't seem to be very tough. I have many scratches already and i'm very careful with the car. Doesn't seem to live up to the toughness of the rest of the truck.
I hope this is useful to some of you considering the truck, or just wanting to hear other owners experiences

Nice write up on the 08 however. I was wondering how the long bed was compared to the original.
