I've had three Nissan vehicles, two cars and a frontier (but I think it was before they were called "frontiers"). One of the cars was my "company car" when I had my business, bought it with 180k miles on it and it had 320k on it when I sold it. Still ran like a top, but for some reason it wanted to eat water pumps. I know I put at least three in it, maybe four. Only other problem I had with it in all those miles was I had the timing belt go, but that was at around 290k miles.
The truck ran good but I used it to tow my bass boat when I first started tournament fishing. It pulled the 2600 lbs of boat, motor and trailer just fine, but it didn't stop well at all. A pre-dawn trip and about five deer in the road dictated I needed a full size truck with full size brakes - I didn't hit any, but it was a hairy experience.
The reason I mention the frame while towing is I have a friend who had an '07 Titan and while towing a marginal (5500 lb.) load (well under the truck's rated limit) he had the frame buckle on him. Two months old and he was able to get it Lemon Law'd, but he learned MANY had the issue starting with about the '04s. Reason he was told is they shaved the frame weight in '04 in an attempt at better fuel economy. I don't know if it's been remedied by Nissan on the new ones or not. Let's hope so...

I hope so too. But based on the research that I've seen, people tow all the time with them. I don't think I'll ever tow to the rated 9300 lbs, but it's nice to know I can.
I wish my first experience with MOPAR was a better one. I have a father and an uncle that swear by them. They both have Jeeps and have had Rams, Dakota's, Challengers, Darts, Caravans, Shelby Charger, and a Duster. They gave me so much crap when I purchased my Cheby Colorado. I'd love the Rams, but don't want to deal with the same issues like with my Raider.

Thank you SIR (sure you finished OCS by now)! I just made CPO on December 1st, so this was a bit of a gift to myself for that too.
I thought you would have been more involved with the Stillen Supercharger, although I hear some issues about the truck having some issues with it.
I didn't plan on modding it too much, but the wife saw a lifted Titan today, and said she liked it. I don't want to go any bigger than 33's, so I have to do my research on different lift kits available.
Already have a Hypertech Programmer on the way to remove the WOT restriction.
