My Truck...

They are remarkably affordable used compared everything except dodge. I have been scouring around looking for red flags (like the Ford cam phasers or the GM fuel management debacles) but have only found positives except for old Blobert. He was having issues if I recall. I was going to get his take on them and what years to avoid etc. As far as I can tell anything after around 2010-2011 seem to be solid

Mëds have you had any concerns or has it been pretty smooth sailing?

That era of Titan is still the OG. They didn't change from 2005 until 2016, by 2010 they were fairly bulletproof.

When the new Titans hit in 2016.5 the price of the OG dropped, then there was the addition of a Cummins option etc in their XD line. Another update in 2019 or something iirc. In 2023 Nissan announced they were discontinuing the Titan in Canada as new sales weren't high enough. That dropped the price of the OG's considerably.....or at least I noticed the prices dropped then.

The biggest draw back to the OG Titan is the fuel economy compared to most other brands of the era.

Issues I've had......

At 100,000km I took it in for a full service and inspection at Nissan. I had owned the truck for 9 years at that point.

1. Driver's side front coil was broken, but just the tail of it and the spring was still in the cup. I hadn't even noticed.
2. Shocks were toast (as I said) so I replaced them.
3. My AC quit in 2020, I had it fixed at a local shop but it quit again.....I don't drive enough in hot weather to bother fixing it.
4. Muffler pipe rusted and fell off (it is super wet in the pacific NW so not going to be an issue where you live).
5. The cab fogs up suuuuuper easily in wet/cold weather. I've had friends ask if I had a towel under the seat that was soaked with water because of how bad it is. Sometimes it struggles to keep up with 4 people in the truck.....but see issue 3 and I think it relates eh wot.

That's it. 13 years and 108,000km on it.....I have no complaints.

You only put on 108k in 13 years including driving across Canada???

That's impressive. (Thx for summary btw)

Lever that SUV is a fancy station wagon without the wood paneling and you're not even getting the rear facing bench.

Does it even have ashtrays or have we lost all common sense nowadays???
