I have a 4WD Titan purchased new in Aug 2006. It has less than 18,000 miles, thanks to a two year deployment in Iraq and being prudent about gas economy (use the truck pretty much when I need to haul stuff). I don't anticipate putting on more than 5,000 miles/yr going forward due to gas cost.
Other than the factory filter that got sucked into the A/C blower fan and had to be pulled out, I've had no trouble with my truck and like it very much. The most strenuous use it gets is hauling a few full loads of firewood down a muddy forest road each year. Even though the truck has the big tow package, I haven't towed anything yet.
Based on all the reports on this forum about differential and axle failures, I am wondering if I should keep the truck. I don't know what the chance of failure is with my truck and its application but I have a low tolerance for high predictability of failure and the subsequent cost of repair. Seems like the truck is a ticking time bomb and it might be smart to get out now.
Another option is to purchase extended warranty coverage although I don't know what that is going to run for my truck.
Anyone have any ideas about selling the truck or taking a chance with extended warranty? Thanks guys!
