From nissan's own site for their king cab...the different weights are for the various trims:

Curb Weights (lbs)
4x2 Standard Bed 4,987 5,023 N/A 5,206
4x4 Standard Bed 5,231 5,267 5,297 5,489
4x2 Long Bed 5,275 5,294 N/A 5,490
4x4 Long Bed]

So if that titan in the pics is a 4x4 then it's pretty close in weight to a quad cab....200-300 lbs less.

Is it possible that Hammer was comparing the 2500 you were looking at to the Titan?

You were wanting to get away from ifs werent you?? well the way I see it, it is your truck and your decision, I just hope you pick the one that you will be happy with six months from now!!
and i agree the whole thing is a 4 door rig peariod. just happend to see this one and i drove it and it was 100% better to drive then the ram. and no i dont race just proving a point that it is faster than the ram and to boot tows more than i have now.

We could debate numbers all night but the reality is that if RH likes it and it does what he needs it to do that is really all that matters. And we will still like you RH even if you do drive a Nissan .

RH We recently had a major hail storm here in my neck of the woods and there's a guy I work with who has a white truck just like the nissan you are looking at. He says he loves the truck but in the hail storm his truck took an a$$ whoopin' from the hail. Maybe they are saving weight in the sheet metal,I dunno. At the end of the day you have to be happy with what you buy,be it a dodge, furd,nissan,whatever. If you are sitting there regretting your purchase for whatever reason then you will be truck shopping again in no time. Honestly if I had it to do over personally for my needs I would have bought a CTD 2500,but you know your needs better than all of us so go with what works and makes you happy. The novelty of getting a cheap price will fade long before your regret if you buy something you don't really want just because it was priced good.
