2008 nissan titan review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Major revisions improves this full-size pickup. introductionthe nissan titan gets two noteworthy additions and a host of detail improvements for 2008, delivering more of the truck capability while taking off just enough of the tough-guy truck image to appeal to a broader range of drivers and occupants. new long-bed models have been added, and are longer than most competitors, along with more bed space, payload, and fuel capacity. inside, the 2008 nissan titan sports a thoroughly redesigned interior that is at once more attractive and user-friendly. Titans range from utilitarian models with crank windows to leather-lined cabs befitting a luxurious sport-utility. titan's proven and powerful v8 and automatic is the only choice, and it's a stout engine raced at more than twice its street-legal 317 horsepower. More than 25 variants are available. The next slot, sort of a 4wd only se derivative, is the pro-4x model with larger, more aggressive tires, off-road suspension tuning, two-tone cloth upholstery, and double sun visors. luxury characterizes the le model, which runs 20-inch wheels, fog lamps, leather power seats, a 350-watt rockford fosgate sound system, dual-zone climate control, power adjustable pedals, and chrome power folding heated mirrors. all except the xe offer a front side/side curtain/roll-sensing stability control option package. Se and pro-4x have the widest choices, from spray-in bedliner to seat choices, while navigation is reserved for pro-4x and le trucks. On crew cab se-or-better only, a moonroof and dvd entertainment are among the options. walkaroundthe 2008 nissan titan's most notable change is the new long-wheelbase variant that provides a bed length of almost 8 feet, 3 inches on king cabs and 7 feet, 3 inches on crew cabs, the biggest box on a half-ton crew cab pickup; those models also have the largest fuel tank at 37 gallons. An optional rear-view camera is available and we found it eased trailer hitching. a new center dash section for 2008 handles audio, climate, navigation, and switching duty (tow mode, vdc off, diff lock, etc.) with a slightly more integrated look. It looks better than last year's setup and more easily handles extras like the dual-zone climate control on le models. Rear doors on king cabs swing almost 170 degrees for easy access and there's room back there for six-footers on short-to-moderate length trips. It comes standard with the big v8 and a five-speed automatic transmission. Although it doesn't have as much horsepower as gm's larger v8 choices or dodge's hemi, it matches or betters most on torque and a titan will outrun most pickups and deliver competitive mileage to similar configurations; only the tundra's 5. 7-liter/six-speed automatic combination really betters it. The electric locking rear differential (pro-4x only) is more effective in severe terrain than the all-wheel electronic traction control of regular 4x4 titans and most competitors. The rear axle has also been strengthened considerably to accommodate the towing and new load ratings. pickup trucks aren't held in high regard for ride comfort or handling prowess yet they have made strides in both. The longer wheelbase only betters cruising comfort but even the short-wheelbase titans will generate no complaints, at least not from anyone that knows what a ton of payload means. The titan has always performed well in pickup brake tests, and these offer a larger margin of safety and durability, needed because the previous brakes didn't hold up well. summarythe 2008 nissan titan adds long bed models to the mix and more refinement Power Seats✔ Power Windows✔ Power Mirrors✔ Climate Control✔ Cruise Control✔ Sunroof/Moonroof✔ CD Changer✔ Alloy Wheels
