Well, alot of you know I do work as a tech at a local Nissan dealer. We have all been anxiously waiting for the new arrival of Nissan's first full size truck. Sporting a new designed VQ series V8 engine, and decent body line. Yesterday we got our first one, and yours truely was the first one to go beat the living ---- out of it. I was very impressed with this truck. I've drove ton's of Fords, Chevy's, and Dodges. I think Nissan did a remarkable job with this truck and I honestly think if anyone is in the market for a truck to check it out. The thing drives beautiful. Not to mention it smokes the tires nicely ;)

The past few years Nissan is really turning around...

Just thought I'd share :)

haha dustin.. speaking of trucks. I read an article in the paper about the new Dodge Performance truck, the SRT-10.

Basically a short box short cab 1500 series Ram w/ a viper motor and better suspension. with the viper's heart you'd expect this thing to TEAR up a 1/4. NOT, 15.9 WTF IS THAT! Funny have the Ford SVT Lightening is faster w/ less motor :(

15.9 roasting the tires off the entire way... there is no way it can run that. it prob weights less than a f150 and has ~200 more hp and ~200 ft-lbs

Your wrong buddy these are the real numbers at high elevation

these specs confirmed 11/03
0-60 in 5.2 seconds
13.8 second quarter mile
.92 g skid-pad

Truck trend magazine says
The truck burns rubber in a pretty impressive way, with a 0-to-60-mph acceleration time of 5.0 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 12.9 seconds at 106 miles per hour.

lmao a dodge srt-10 only running a 15.9? Bahhahhaha

Thats a 500hp and 525 ft lbs of torque engine. It has rotors bigger than your civics wheels and goes to 60 mph in 5 seconds.

The srt-4 does 0-60 in about 5.8 and can hit a 13 sec pass with a good drive. I'm sure the srt-10 would easily cross mid to low 13's without a problem. I wish I could find a 1/4 mile time for it but i cant right now.


Anyways back on track. Thanks for the update Jeff, I also wondered how this truck would turn out. As usual I think the foreign companies will be doing trust better than "American" car companies in a short period of time.

looks like a nice truck interior pics?

only thing i dont like is the curved box where it meets the cab. they should have left that square :) like a real truck.. heh

Re:First Test Drive: 2004 Nissan Titan
 

I really like that truck also. I read car and driver magazine and they gave it good marks also. If only i could buy a new car. >:(

Heh, the bed looks more like a trailer than part of the truck. Other than that, it's a nice vehicle.
