    After 25 years of no/bad credit, thanks to an ex-wife, the IRS, and lousy jobs, I just checked into upgrading my 2005 Nissan Frontier to a 2013 Titan. The dealer just called, and Nissan has approved the loan @ 2.99%. The Frontier has been an excellent ride, through all sorts of terrain and weather, and it's cost me almost nothing to maintain, but with over 150,000 miles on it it's just a matter of time before something expensive goes "clunk!" Besides, the Titan can carry a lot more guns, and far more ammo. :-D I think I already feel larger under the hood, and I haven't even got the thing home yet!:cool: Disclaimer: Yeah, I know it's patriotic to Buy American, and I try to, but we have all US-made trucks at work, and my Frontier has cost less to maintain for 8 years than any of them for one year. I don't expect to see any worse results with the Titan.

    Sadly, I've had similar results. I'll drive most anything as long as there's enough room for my ice fishing stuff the family. :-\

          Congrats! The titan looks juicy. I just graduated myself from a 1997 corolla with 214k miles on it to a 2013 Toyota Tacoma. My first pick up and my first brand new vehicle. Sure feels like cheating :) It's weird not having to wonder if the vehicle will start.

            :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I've had a bunch of those in my life! The weird thing for me will be driving something this big. I'm going to have to learn where the corners are, and what I can get away with when parking. The Frontier was just right, and could fit anywhere, but this thing is huge, especially with the Crew Cab. I'd looked for a King Cab, since I like the extra room behind the seat, but don't really have any passengers that need seating. But none of the local dealers have any, and no one can actually sit in those stupid little seats anyway. This will be an interesting adventure... Congrats on the Tacoma; it's an excellent choice, from what I see out here in the desert - a tough survivor! :-D

                      That's a great feeling. :) It is probably a lot quieter too.

                        The best they had in stock was a SV Crew Cab with a couple of the option packages - rock shields underneath, class IV tow hitch installed, 4x4 auto and lowered gear ratio, mainly. Oh, and it's red. :)

                            Why would it stiffen my sinews? My Westminster[^] does the job quite nicely, and it keeps the minions quiet - they aren't sure if I've got a side gig as a crime lord.

                                    Sweet! What kind of mileage do you get from that thing? I'm expecting about 17 mpg highway with the 5.6L engine, which is about what I'm getting now with the Frontier 4.0L.

                                        Sweet! What kind of mileage do you get from that thing? I'm expecting about 17 mpg highway with the 5.6L engine, which is about what I'm getting now with the Frontier 4.0L.

                                        I'm getting about 30 MPG (theoretically). In reality, I'm getting 26.7.

                                        I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

                                          After 25 years of no/bad credit, thanks to an ex-wife, the IRS, and lousy jobs, I just checked into upgrading my 2005 Nissan Frontier to a 2013 Titan. The dealer just called, and Nissan has approved the loan @ 2.99%. The Frontier has been an excellent ride, through all sorts of terrain and weather, and it's cost me almost nothing to maintain, but with over 150,000 miles on it it's just a matter of time before something expensive goes "clunk!" Besides, the Titan can carry a lot more guns, and far more ammo. :-D I think I already feel larger under the hood, and I haven't even got the thing home yet!:cool: Disclaimer: Yeah, I know it's patriotic to Buy American, and I try to, but we have all US-made trucks at work, and my Frontier has cost less to maintain for 8 years than any of them for one year. I don't expect to see any worse results with the Titan.

                                          The American way is to exercise free choice, not be pressured by political forces to choose one way or another. :)
