canyon vs titan?

[PA DETAILER]

have been crazy at work! 50+ hour weeks. dead tired. i have been looking at nissans titan as of late. pro4x king cab. v8. currently in a 2010 canyon. (got new). 5cyl. z71. i do love my canyon, but was blown away with the titan. dealer called today to see where i sit. test drove one about a week ago. crazy rebates on the new 2011's. over 8k! i was offered over book on my canyon. for a few bucks more a month i could get in the titan. i have been researching the hell out of them! appears to be a decent truck. now there is a package on top of the pro4x. it includes rockford fosgate stereo, sprayed in bed liner, tow mirrors, adjustable pedals, a few other note worthy items. now the one i drove down the street, does not have that package. so i told the salesman today could you find one in smoke color, with that package? low and behold. he found one. so its on me now. i really dont know if i should stay put or go nissan?

Sounds like you answered your own question.

The only issue I would see is brand loyalty, and whether somebody would consider a Nissan a "truck."

just a pic of what i am looking at.

The Canyon is the Colorado which is is in the same segment as the Frontier.

So you'll be stepping up to a fullsize pick up, if you like it I say go for it.

indeed. mid size to a full size. 5cyl. to a 8cyl. the power of the titan was impressive. rated at 317hp. i am sure the rated 17 mpg will hurt. but in the canyon, the 3.7 is no miser. i get about 21mpg. you know i test drove a frontier too for kicks. not that i would want another mid size, but the frontier was very impressive. the nissan dealer (5min down the street) was not there when i got my canyon. if it was, i most likley would have got the frontier. the xterra was interesting. not my cup of tea tho.

My old next door neighbor has a Titan crew cab in black. He loves it and you can truly get a good deal on them (considering they have been on the market for the past couple of years). I do not know how much of a drop of fuel economy you will see compared to your Canyon. But I would venture about 1-2mpg hwy. However, the Nissan V8 is quite nice.

The color of that truck is called Night Armor, it's gray with blue and silver metal flake in the paint, the same color that's on my Frontier, you'll love it.

I say if the loss in gas mileage is of no concern to you, I would go for it. More luxury and power is always a good thing. Thats a sweet looking truck.

[A.P.A.D.]

i have an 09 Titan LE package. i would get it if i were u. definately an upgrade from what u have. the truck does like to stop at gas stations though.

not sure what ole aerogt01 meant by it not being a truck maybe he drives 18wheelers or something

here is mine...



the only mods i have done is 5% tint and Banks exhaust <---LOUD

Two of my coworkers just got Titans, one is an 05 and the other is brand new. They went from Chevy/Toyota to the Titan...(at my recommendation of vehicles to choose). I never hear anything bad about the trucks.

They both love them.
