What's New for the 2004 Nissan Titan?
The 2004 Nissan Titan is a brand-new entrant into the full-size pickup truck market.

Choices are limited to extended and crew cab styles, the former with a 6.5-foot bed and the latter with a 5.5-foot bed.

- Stout standard V8 engine
- Impressively polished cabin design and materials
- Extremely comfortable front seats
- Commodious rear seat space for crew cab models
- Class-leading towing abilities
- Refined ride belies big truck
Objections to the 2004 Nissan Titan: - Some dashboard controls are too small to operate easily with gloved fingers
Editor's Advice:
As Americans increasingly use full-size trucks for family fun, weekend DIY projects and daily commutes, a need for a pickup designed to cater to personal-use buyers is emerging. But legitimacy on the full-size truck battlefield is dependent upon an entrant’s ability to tow and haul with the best of the breed. If you don’t have full-size interior and cargo dimensions coupled with a torquey V8 engine that can tow nearly 10,000 pounds, forget about intruding upon this domestically ruled turf. Until now, only Toyota has dared to challenge Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford and GMC half-ton trucks, and with marginal success. The 2004 Nissan Titan, however, re-writes the rules and makes life very difficult for the stalwarts in the class. With low sticker prices, standard V8 engines, comfortable and upscale cabins and a full complement of luxury features such as a rear seat DVD entertainment system and a DVD-driven navigation system, the Titan offers a compelling alternative to traditional full-size truck choices. Add in the fact that the Nissan Titan offers refined interior materials, muscular design, impressive towing capacity, unique features, a roomy cabin and innovative storage solutions, and it becomes clear that for light-duty use, the 2004 Nissan Titan is the truck to beat.
