I am going to be purchasing my Titan within the very near future (not soon enough...). I know already it is gonna be an LE, but trying to decide between the King or Crew Cab. I have been wanting the Crew since I have a lot friends and i would want all that room and interior space, but if there's enough back there in a King to put 2 or 3 people comfortable, I could get a King LE and spend less $$.....from those of you who own Titans now, what do you think??

If you're really going to have passengers a lot, go CrewCab.
I own a King Cab, fantastic for me - I need the larger bed, and I also don't like to drive folks around :teethmast

CC vs. KC

I am going to be purchasing my Titan within the very near future (not soon enough...). I know already it is gonna be an LE, but trying to decide between the King or Crew Cab.

I think that you should definitely go w/ the CC, I just got mine two weeks ago and I LOVE IT. I would say that you have as much room in the back as you do in the front seats. FYI I would also suggest staying away from the TAN interior, it is UGLY. MY04TITAN is Smoke outside w/ Gray interior, looks SWEET. Let me know if you got any other questions.

 

[Howie Kaluha]

OK guys thanks. Man, really excited about getting it...Titan is so wicked, can't wait to have it sitting in my driveway. I think I will go for CC

it all depends on your needs. if you are more concerned about using your bed, obvsiously the KC is the way to go, for people, obviously the CC. i personally went with the CC, i love the space back there, i think anyone over 6 feet tall would be cramped for more than a 20 minutes ride in the back of a KC.

 

[Sabre66]

Head down to the nearest dealer lot and sit in the back of them both. This will help you make up your mind quicker. Also think about what you'll be using the bed for. The extra foot of bed length may be useful or moot.

I was almost set to get the KC when i took my wife to check them out and she thought the CC was the better way to go. She was cool with spending the extra $2000, and i certainly wasn't gonna argue. Either way i'm sure you'll be happy. :upsidedow

 

[Howie Kaluha]

yeah, so far all my friends are telling me to get the Crew Cab...looks like the best choice for me

 

[pluckyew]

see "cozy seven"

we fit seven adults in our se bench seater kingcab for a 1.5 hour trip, each way, but the crew cab's the way to go if you're gonna haul people more often..

we want to do some truck camping, so CC's 5.5" bed would be too short to sleep in for us. (6' would be OK if that had it such)

we're gonna attach a six bicycle rack

If crash protection is important to you, crew cabs generally do better in the crash tests than extended cabs, especially in the side impact test.

That's a very good point, outahere...thanks for bringing it up!

 

[dd564]

I was think king until I noticed that they are both the same size truck length wise. Then I thought it would be better to go CC which I did.

Nicest thing about it is when I am putting stuff in the back seat, I only need to open one door. The back one!

 

[Bayou Titan]

Everyone is putting emphasis on the people hauling ability of the Crew Cab which is the most important aspect. However, there is another benefit of the Crew Cab-more interior hauling space. With the rear seat folded up there is unbelievable space to store stuff out of the way of inclimate weather and thieves. Think of Christmas shopping trips. Also, if you are constantly going in and out of the rear door like I do, it's easier opening just one door.

 

[ChuhBaca]

That's a very good point about the Christmas shopping trip. I was out buying big stuff and I went to store it in my ext cab Dakota. It was quite a chore getting a large item back there while I went in to finish buying stuff. Couldn't leave it in the bed or it would get stolen. Just one more reason I need a Titan.

 

[Briarman]

That's why I've really enjoyed my '01 Frontier CC...as a hunter, there's nothing better than having the extra doors and backseat room to haul my hunting gear in...

 

[Derwud]

I eas set to buy a KC, but one drive in the CC and I was sold!

 

[Doghouse]

KC was the answer for me. I do woodworking as a hobby. I often haul lumber to the kiln for drying or hauling some back. The longer bed is a requirement for me. With the gate down, 8' leaves only 6" sticking out on most of my rough sawn lumber.

I am building a platform and folding ramp so the dogs can climb up into the back and use the seats. I love the LATCH (child seat) system. I use it to attach the dogs so they would not get hurt in an accident. They can still move around, but are restrained from flying!

 

[militia_man]

I originally intended to order a kk but went with the CC. I did not want to spend the next 7-10 years wishing I had spent the extra dough for the CC. I was a bit concerned about the five and a half foot bed, but I will not be hauling items very often so I ordered my truck with the sliding bed extender ($280), it will add an extra foot and one half, if and when I need it. I played around with one of these sliding bed extenders at a dealer and it was very neat and stores out of the way nicely.

Fifth wheel

I will be hauling a fifth wheel trailer, so the KC was the only option for me. My last truck was a Dodge, with virtually no room behind the seat, so this is going to be a real luxury for me. Al in Benson, AZ

 

[amati5]

yeah, so far all my friends are telling me to get the Crew Cab...

Hmmm I wonder why... :upsidedow

 

[Howie Kaluha]

LOL, they want me to have the big truck just so they all get free rides on road trips and stuff like that....hehe
