My husband and I own a 2005 Nissan Titan LE that we just purchased last summer, and we just love it! It has the Flowmaster dual exhaust, which is kick *** rumblim! It also has full leather heated seats, the GPS navigation system built in, the Rockford stereo system, the factory spray on bedliner with the Uni-track system. It has lots of power and we think it is just an awesome truck! It really is a tough competitor to the Dodge, Chevy, and Ford trucks.

I bought a 2005 Titan XE and so far, I'm very pleased with it.
So far, no mechanical problems at 60,000 miles and the only maintenance I've had to do is oil changes.
What I really like about the Titan is that a V-8 and extended cab (King Cab) are standard. Another feature I like is the 5-speed automatic with manual shift mode, and the low tire pressure warning system, also standard features.
Inside, the cabin is roomy and quiet for a truck. The ride is good, and the steering has a nice feel to it. The stock exhaust rumble is noticeable and pleasant.
Once broken in, the Titan gets respectable fuel mileage. With almost 60k miles, I'm getting 19.5mpg on the highway and 16 in the city. My last chevy truck got worse mileage than that, while making almost 100hp less than the Titan's 305hp.
Titans got a bad reputation from the 04 models and early 05's. Among the big problems were brakes and rear axles, all of which are fixed on the newer models. I don't care who the manufacturer is, you are going to have first year bugs.
I have had a few rattles, but the dealer took care of it.
You just cannot beat the power of a Titan. New from the factory, the ECU limits the power until around 5K miles. After that, it really opens up. A Titan KC will run even with a Dodge Hemi, although the hemi is rated with more hp. HP isn't everything.
There is an aftermarket of performance parts for the Titan. UpRev can tune your ECU for additional performance. We're not talking about 10 or 15hp, we're talking about enough power to drop 0-60 times by a full second. Stock, a Titan will run 0-60mph in 7.4 seconds, with a good driver. With the UpRev tune, expect 0-60 in 6.5 seconds or less. In additon, headers and CAI's are available for the Titan for even more power gains. I've seen a few Titans running mid 13's in the 1/4 mile. That's corvette (non Z06) territory.
For those with the money, a supercharger is available from Stillen. With a supercharger, the Titan can easily put down 400+hp to the rear wheels, putting it in Lightning territory.
Along with those mods, I would recommend the Detroit True Trac, which gives you posi like performance and makes the rear axle nearly indestructable.
If I had to buy another truck today, the Titan would be at the top of my list. The new Tundra with the 5.7L is going to be really nice, but I bet it will be way more expensive than the Titan.
Before I bought my Titan, I have owned only domestic trucks. The biggest problem with the domestic trucks are the transmissions, Dodge being the worst, and various leaks. I took a chance with Nissan, and it will be hard to pull me back to the domestic trucks, unless it's a Duramax HD 2500 ;-)

I have a good friend and a next door neighbor who both love theirs dearly. I've driven them both and although I'm not a truck guy I thought it was super - the engine sounds and runs fantastic. They tow over 9,000 lbs. so I don't know what that "worst in class" hamster was yapping about above.

I don't like them. A distracted driver ran a red light and totaled my Mustang, she damn near killed me.
her truck, a titan, was messed up nice and good, but unfortunately it was repairable.
