2006 nissan titan review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Serious pickup with brilliant performance. introductionthe nissan titan delivers dazzling performance with a powerful 5. 6-liter v8 and responsive five-speed automatic. Its handling is equally responsive, making it among the most enjoyable of the full-size half-ton pickups. Brakes, suspension, drivetrain work together for quick response. It was the first truly full-size pickup in nearly 25 years from anyone other than the big three, and the first ever from a company whose world headquarters are located outside of north america. (the titan is significantly larger than the 2006 toyota tundra, which is about 7/8-size.) when designing the titan, nissan benchmarked the best pickups and decided to raise the bar. Titan would be big and roomy, and it would not be a shrinking violet in terms of styling or performance. As a result, the titan excels at roominess. There's lots of headroom up front and the back seats of crew cab models offer plenty of legroom. Its v8 engine generates strong torque; and there is no v6 or base motor. Titan can tow up to 9,500 pounds. Among them: a factory-applied spray-in bedliner, a c-channel tie-down system for securing cargo and accessories, and a stash box integrated into the driver's-side rear fender for storing a tow hitch or other small items. The rear doors on the king cab open nearly 180 degrees for quick access. A dampened tailgate assist reduces effort when opening and closing the tailgate. All titans are powered by nissan's 5. 6-liter v8 and five-speed automatic. All models are available in 2wd and 4wd. All are offered with flexible-fuel engines (ffv) for no additional cost. three trim levels are available: xe, se, and le. All come with a high level of standard equipment including a tire-pressure monitor, cruise control, tilt steering and a cd stereo. the xe 2wd king cab 23,250) comes with wind-up windows, manual door locks, cloth upholstery, a split front bench seat that has a fold-down armrest storage bin, a split pop-up rear seat, and 17-inch steel wheels. the se king cab 25,400) adds captain's chairs with a better grade of cloth, 18-inch aluminum wheels, power everything, and host of other features, including an audio package that can play mp3-formatted cds. A popular package for the se adds many of the le's luxury features, but not its leather upholstery, and is available with the rockford-fosgate stereo 1,750). king cab le 30,200) gets leather seats in front, rockford-fosgate audio, fog lights, power adjustable pedals, tubular running boards and all the trick bed features described above. A dvd-based navigation system 1,800) is optional. crew cab 2wd models include the xe 26,100), se 27,900), and le 32,700). Front bench seats are available as a credit option on se and le. Crew cab 4wd models are available in xe 29,300), se 31,100), and le 35,750) trim. options include a utility bed package with a clever channel system in the bed for flexible tie-down configurations to fit a wide range of cargo; a lockable storage system in the outside of the bed; tailgate lighting; a power point at the rear; and the factory-applied spray-in bedliner. an off-road package for 4wd models consists of a unique lower-ratio dana axle, switch-on-demand electronically activated locking rear differential, rancho performance gas shock absorbers, large all-terrain tires, fog lights, and skid plates for the radiator, oil pan and transfer case. The trac package 300) adds the locking differential to a 2wd xe or se. all models can be equipped with xm satellite radio 350). Se and le crew cabs are available with dvd entertainment 1450); le crew cabs can be ordered with a sunroof 900). the texas titan package 2,500), new for 2006, includes 18-inch chrome wheels, chrome step rails, fog lamps, factory spray-on bed liner, special finish dash accents, floor mats with the texas star, and a texas titan badge. safety features include optional front-seat side-impact air bags for torso protection and curtain air bags for head protection 850). Standard safety features on the 2006 titan include dual-stage front air bags with seat belt sensors and a front-passenger occupant classification sensor. In the rear are three-point outboard passenger seat belts and the latch (lower anchors and tether for children) child seat anchor system. Active front head restraints come standard on all models. Vdc electronic stability control is available 1,200), which helps the driver maintain control by reducing or eliminating skidding in corners. walkaroundthe nissan titan is boldly styled. Its blocky head-on view, with its twin sloping chrome bars angling down across a bee-comb radiator presents an intimidating appearance in rear-view mirrors, a look that's simple and direct, short of braggadocio. The rest of the nissan titan fulfills that impression: direct and shaped by function, a true truck. Big square-shaped fender flares give it a look of rugged sportiness. Lots of chrome up front adds to the boldness, heightened when combined with dark paint colors. the king cab's unique door design is a real light-bulb innovation. But the titan's rear door opens not just to the near 90 degrees that's expected; it swings farther yet, yawning 168 degrees, which is nearly flat against the truck's body. Wide-open nissan calls it, and it is. It's surprising how often this feature becomes useful. At the grocery store, it makes it much easier to maneuver a cart closely into position for unloading. Crew cabs have 5 1/2-foot beds, trading a foot of bed space for roomy rear seats and more interior cargo room. with their tailgates lowered, both bed sizes can accommodate 4x8-foot sheets of building material between their wheel housings. On 2wd titans the load height is about 34 inches, a big difference when loading heavy cargo. Higher may be better for displaying machismo, but lower is better when there's work to be done. nissan's sprayed-in bedliner looks terrific. The anti-skid surface keeps cargo from sliding around while driving and reduces noise. The anti-skid surface can make it harder to slide a box out, but this seems outweighed by the upsides. It prevents scratches and rust and, unlike plastic drop-in liners, it doesn't trap moisture underneath, again reducing the chance of rust. It's also covered by the truck's warranty. The coating is applied at a $2 million facility specifically built for this purpose at nissan's spanking-new truck factory in mississippi. the available c-channel tie-down system, part of the utility bed package, is designed to accommodate a variety of scenarios. It features c-section rails mounted in the bed: two on the floor, and one each on the side and forward walls. Removable cleats slide into the channels and can be positioned anywhere along its length, thus permitting customized securing of cargo. Sliding cargo trays, a sliding tool box and other modular storage units are available for kayaks, bikes, and other needs. The bed channels feature protective caps that slide on to keep out debris when they're not being used. It appears to be a great system. the storage compartment integrated into the left rear fender is convenient for storing a tow-hitch ball, work gloves, road flares, or a first aid kit. Measuring 11x15 inches, this small bedside compartment is double sealed to be weather and dust proof. It's roomy when measured in cubic feet, but it's also organized, with handy storage bins and spaces to tuck stuff away. two interior configurations are available. Standard on xe is a front bench seat with column shifter to accommodate up to six passengers. Se and le come with two front bucket seats (captain's chairs) and a gated floor shifter in a large center co.
