So after lurking and searching here for a couple of weeks, I’m ready to make my first post. :computern
I am in the process of choosing my first Titan. I have weighed the pros and cons between the 07s and 08s based on the discussions made here. My original criteria was just getting a Titan with basic power packages, crew cab and 4x4. After reading here and doing additional research, I figured it was not going to be that plain and simple. I was first set on just getting an SE 07 or 08. The 07 was tempting me with the $5k rebate going on right now with Nissan but then I started looking into the Pro4x. Longer story short, I went back to the dealer and checked out a Pro4x in person after initially test driving an SE a week before. All I can say is that the interior on the Pro4x totally won me over with its red stitching. Anyways, my Galaxy Black Pro4x will cost me as follows according to KBB.com
$30,739 Titan Pro4X Crew Cab 4x4
$745 Destination Charge
$1,172 Popular Pkg: SE & PRO-4X w/Captain's Chairs Includes
- Garage Door Opener
- Inside Automatic Day/Night Mirror
- Rear Parking Sensors
- Power Adjustable Pedals
- Power Driver's Seat Adjuster
- Steering Wheel Touch Controls.
$694 Utility Bed Pkg: Includes
- Utili-Track Bed Channel System
- Spray-In Bed Liner
- Rear Bed Light
- LH Bed Side Lock Box
- Exterior Power Outlet.
$33,350 Total Invoice Price
$3,500 Nissan Rebate
29,850 Target Price before taxes
The price is higher than I wanted to spend initially but I think having the Pro4X interior along with its unique upgrades is worth the extra premium. I am now in the process of selling my car and my old Dodge Ram to help offset the down payment so I will be looking to pull the trigger within a month (hopefully the 3.5k rebate offer is replaced by something just as nice next month). The Titan will be used to commute to work, haul my streetbike, and little 50s around, and will be used to go light offroading. Not planning to rock crawl but I will take it to Pismo and have some fun at the Oceana sand dunes here in Cali. Anyways, now that intro is done with here are some of my questions for the Titan guys (I guess I coulda posted this in the a/v forum but might as well get it al done here
):
1. I am planning on installing the Pioneer AVIC-D3 with iPod cable, steering wheel control adapter, and rearview cam after a double-din kit is released for the ’08. Can you guys post pictures of where you guys mounted your rear view camera? I am planning on doing the install myself and have done several head units in the past but none with video or nav before so I will be taking my time with this one. Are there any special tricks I need to know about the titan in terms of wire placement and routing when installing the AVIC D3?
2. For the custom Tech12 sub enclosures that are very popular here online, how are you guys running your power cable through interior and into the back seat? I always like to separate my power and rca cables when running them underneath the carpet and wondered what is the best option for the Titan Crew Cab.
4. How good is the SE/Pro4x Nissan alarm system/immobilizer? I was planning on upgrading as soon as I could to a new alarm system with motion sensors, 2way pager, and remote start for the future upgrades that will be going on the truck.
5. The Utili-Track system is something that I will be putting to use quite a bit. However, I have noticed that it does not come in black. Have any of you powedercoated, rhinolined, or painted the rails so they do not stick out as much in the bed? With a black truck and bed, I didn’t want the railing system to stick out so much. Pics would be appreciated.
6. How good is the stock “Spray-in Bed liner” on the Titan? How does it compare to getting your bed rhino’d?
7. Are there any other options I should be considering on adding to the truck?
