Awesome, i don't have to tow your broke car again lol j/k j/k ..

Congrats on the purchase.. seen a few up close, never actually driven one, i hear they are pretty confy... Make sure you get as light of a trailer as you can, and also get a class 3 hitch put on there, do not trust that bumper hitch.. and the trailer make sure it has electric/hydraulic brakes, if it doesn't. don't get it.. you will regret it later.

Again, congrats!!!

oh yeah, manual or auto?

Nice truck, I've heard good things about the new Nissans. Kinda funny, so many DSMers can't afford to fix their cars but are all rollin' in new trucks

Yeah, trucks are the shiznit. I've got a few, here's my current tow vehicle.

http://www.sghenterprises.com/index....hicleid=136968

I've also got a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited that would tow easily. Haven't gotten it advertised yet though.

Here's mine.

http://www.spinturn.net/gallery/albu...06/truck_3.jpg

V6
5 speed
4WD

I don't think it would tow a car, but then again, I don't have a trailer, I don't have space for a trailer, or anything that I really need to tow right now anyway. I just wanted something I could throw a sheet of plywood or the occasional couch into. When I have something worth towing to the track, I will have something nice to tow it with.

Forget about electric brakes, go straight for the air brakes!

Thanks guys! Enes, I believe it has a class IV hitch on it as I got the big tow package I figure I can save at least $100 a month in tows lol.

And its also prewired for trailer brakes, and its a five speed auto with a final gear ratio closer to 4.10 or something along those lines of a four speed towing duty truck. Don't ask me, I'm just quoting the window sticker lol.

Seats 5, 9,400 towing capacity, 5.6 V8, and a damn good looking truck. I did alot of research and Nissan came out on top...

Thanks again!

So when do you want to line up against my Silverado 4x4?

Sorry, but everyone else was showin they're trux P.S. Its got new rims now biatch!

Nice truck man, I was checking out those before I got mine but I am diehard Chevy and wasn't too keen on the Titan's styling (that was back when they had the grey plastic all over it like a pontiac).
Sure do get alot more truck for the money with the Titan though

We should all go wheelin' sometime!

94 F150 with a 5.8L V8. While towing a car, I get 10mpg. Otherwise about 16mpg. Just knowing I put 2,000 less miles on my babies this year by towing them on long trips is worth it.

later,
Curt
