2006 Nissan Titan Full-Size Truck Offers Innovation, Performance and Value
The Nissan Titan full-size pickup sets new standards in the §egmènt for innovation, performance and value. Titan offers features that are unmatched in class**, such as Wide-Open rear doors (King Cab) that open 168 degrees for nearly unlimited interior access, a high-utility bed that includes an -first factory-applied spray-on bedliner, a Útili-track tie-down system that provides ultimate cargo hauling flexibility and an integrated, lockable bedside storage compartment.
'At Nissan we specialize in offering solutions to customers' unmet needs, and Titan is the greatest example,' said Mark McNabb, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division. 'Our research revealed that full-size truck owners wanted better access to the rear seat in King Cabs, better use of their truck beds and a better solution to drop-in bedliners – Titan delivers on all of the above unmet needs wîth flying colors.'
For 2006, Titan adds minor enhancements. Titan LE models add new standard power folding mirrors wîth heat, power adjust, auto dim and integrated turn signal, mid-grade audio package adds the ability to play mp3 formatted CDs (standard on SE and LE, optional on XE) and there are other minor package and model improvements. In addition, two new colors are available on all 2006 Titan models – Majestic Blue and Granite.
Full-Size Power for Full-Size Lives
The heart and soul of the Titan is pure, unabashed power, wîth an all-aluminum 5.6-liter V8 engine that produces 305 horsepower* and 379 lb-ft of torque and features a maximum towing capacity of 9,500 pounds for King Cab and 9,400 pounds for Crew Cab (when properly equipped) – as much as some 3/4-ton pickups. Titan utilizes a rugged, fully boxed high-strength all-steel F-Alpha platform for enhanced crash performance and long-term durability.
The standard 5-speed automatic transmission was designed especially for heavy-duty truck use, wîth emphasis on serious towing. Each component was created for full-size truck application, along wîth a wide gear ratio to create a high performance control system producing top-class acceleration, power and shift quality.
The use of advanced engine technology such as aluminum block wîth cast iron cylinder liners, forged steel crankshaft, microfinished crankshaft and camshaft, graphite-coated pistons, 6-bolt main bearing caps, and Super Silent single-stage timing chain result in good fuel economy wîth no sacrifice of performance.
For 4WD models, Titan adapts an advanced shift-on-the-fly 4-wheel drive system wîth 2WD/4H/4LO modes wîth electronic control part-time transfer case.
An off-road package is available wîth unique lower ratio gearing, class-exclusive** switch-on-demand electronically activated locking rear differential, off-road-style Rancho? performance gas shock absorbers, unique 17-inch alloy wheels wîth large all-terrain tires, fog lights and lower radiator, oil pan and transfer case skid plates.
Titan's responsive handling is a product of its all-steel double wishbone front suspension design and overslung leaf spring (dual rate) rear suspension wîth shackles mounted along the frame sides to increase departure angle. The Titan comes standard wîth 17-inch painted steel wheels and 245/75R17 tires or available 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels (five or six spoke) and 265/70R18 tires. Also available are 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and 285/70R17 tires as part of the off-road package.
Power-assisted rack-and-pinion §teering is standard, along wîth 4-wheel disc brakes wîth Bosch Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD).
Full-Size Interior Like No Other
Titan's interior is extremely spacious. With 126 cubic feet, the Titan Crew Cab offers more interior space than any competitive half-ton crew cab model. The Titan Crew Cab also offers class-leading** front and rear seat leg room wîth 41.8 inches and 40.4 inches respectively.
Two interior configurations are available – a standard bench seat wîth column shifter, which seats six passengers or an optional Captain's Chair Package wîth two front bucket seats, which seats five passengers and offers a large center console and gated floor shifter.
The center console can hold a variety of beverage containers, including a 1-liter bottle. A 12-volt adapter is equipped in the storage area and can be used as a power source for a phone or other electronic devices. The storage in the center console offers passengers a variety of storage choices, wîth size adjusted by simply removing or adding dividers. The console's storage box can also accommodate hanging file folders and contains holders for maps, paper, pens and business cards on the console lid.
Among the Titan's many interior features are standard flip-up 60/40 rear seat cushions for added cargo space and flexibility, wîth grocery hooks on the bottom of the seat cushions. The rear floor was designed to fold nearly flat for maximum cargo utility. The Crew Cab's rear seat is large and relaxing, wîth a full 24 degrees of seat back angle.
Titan's rear compartment offers ample rear storage, including door storage bins and rear door bottle holders in the armrests and power front windows wîth one-touch up and down function (not available on King Cab XE models).
An available overhead console system gives passengers more storage options. The console houses rear audio controls and also contains dampened storage bins for both front and rear passengers for items like sunglasses, CDs, cell phone, PDA or a small tissue box. Crew Cab models offer an optional rear-seat DVD Mobile Theatre System wîth fold-down 7-inch monitor.
Titan Crew Cab models offer an available power down/up rear window.
Titan features a fold-flat front passenger seat that allows extra versatility and can also be used as a working area. Additionally, power-adjustable front seats wîth available driver's seat memory system and heated seats provide added convenience, while standard front-seat active head restraints add one more extra element of safety. Titan also offers power-adjustable foot pedals wîth memory.
Innovative 168 Degree Access
Along wîth the 'everyday innovations' found in Titan's storage and comfort details, the King Cab features a true breakthrough design innovation - a first-in-class** Wide-Open rear door that swings open 168 degrees, providing unprecedented access to the rear seats. Key to the door's design is a hefty, two-stage hinge wîth four axis of rotation. The door opens first to a conventional 85 degrees, then can be swung the rest of the way up to 168 degrees.
Along wîth providing a new level of ease for entering and exiting the rear seat, the Wide-Open door allows owners to load packages or cargo in crowded parking lots without having to maneuver between the traditional 'trap' of partially opened front and rear doors.
The Wide-Open door is standard on all 2006 Nissan Titan King Cab models.
A High-Function Útility Bed
Another really big idea found on Titan, and perhaps Titan's biggest innovation and differentiation from the competition is its cargo bed, addressing truck owners' desire for more utility and flexibility in how they use their trucks' beds.
Nissan research showed that a vast majority of full-size pickup owners perform some sort of modifications, usually bedliners or tie-down systems, to their trucks after purchase. After studying available aftermarket bed utility systems and bedliners, the Titan team created a unique, two-part solution.
First, to overcome the tendency of aftermarket drop-in bedliners to warp or trap rust-inducing moisture underneath, or the relatively high cost and thickness of typical aftermarket spray-on bedliners, a special factory-applied spray-on bedliner was developed. Úsing a special high durability hard surface resin application, which can be sprayed on complex surfaces, the bedliner helps prevent scratch damage and corrosion to the bed and inner tailgate surface. Thinner than drop-in bedliners or typical aftermarket spray-on applications, the Titan bedliner also maximizes bed volume. It is the first offered by any original equipment manufacturer and is covered by the Nissan warranty.
The second part of the bed utility solution was the development of the Útili-track System tie-down channel system. With this system, five special 'C' cross-section rails are mounted in the bed (two channels in the bed floor, and one each on the bed side rails and the bed header panel).
Removable utility cleats slide into the channels, providing a wide range of attaching points for cargo tie-down. The channels are open at the rear of the bed, allowing the cleats to be completely removed when not in use for easy cleaning of the channels wîth a spray washer or garden hose.
The cleats are rated at 200 pounds and the Útili-track System also includes 22 additional structural reinforcements to strengthen the bed, helping to accommodate the loads associated wîth the channel system. In addition, slide-in channel caps help prevent debris from collecting in the floor channels when not in use.
Nissan offers an extensive line of bed dividers, sliding cargo trays and modular storage units, along wîth bike and kayak racks and other accessories.
The Titan bed also includes four standard stake pockets and, as required for a working pickup, carries 4x8-foot plywood sheets easily between the wheel housings. Titan's bed includes a standard dampened tailgate assist that aids in the effort to open and close the tailgate.
Titan also features an innovative bedside storage compartment located behind the rear driver's side wheel. The bedside storage bin is designed to hold common truck items such as work gloves, chains, rope, road flares, first aid kit or a hitch ball. The compartment is double-sealed to help prevent the intrusion of water and dust (though the compartment is not designed to be waterproof in case of submersion) and uses the Titan ignition key for unlocking.
Safety and Security
The 2006 Titan includes a long list of safety equipment, including available front seat side-impact and curtain supplemental air bags that help provide side-impact and rollover protection for outboard passengers (the first available among full-size pickups).
Standard safety features on the 2006 Titan include Nissan's Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) wîth dual stage front supplemental air bags wîth seat belt sensors and a front passenger occupant classification sensor, front seat belts wîth adjustable upper anchors, front seat active head restraints, pretensioners and load limiters, three-point rear outboard passenger seat belts and LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) child seat anchor system.
Driver and passenger confidence is accentuated wîth an extensive list of vehicle-incorporated safety features including a Zone Body construction wîth front and rear structure crumple zones, an energy absorbing §teering column, hood buckling creases wîth safety stops, knee bolsters and special body side reinforcements and a shift interlock system.
Models and Manufacturing
The 2006 Nissan Titan King Cab and Crew Cab are offered in three models – XE, SE and LE each wîth a choice of 2WD and 4WD – and wîth a long list of standard equipment including a powerful 5.6-liter V8, 5-speed automatic transmission wîth Tow/Haul mode, power rack-and-pinion §teering and 17-inch wheels and tires.

Nissan's contribution to the full-sized truck market, the Mississippi-built Titan is kind of a big deal. Large in charge, the Nissan Titan rivals trucks like the Ford F150, and the Tundra, and has been acclaimed for its expansive interior, wide rear doors and other unique features. Its downside though is that it sells rarely, maybe due to a lack of body styles in comparison to similar trucks. Also unfortunately, the Titan has been afflicted with quality issues, mainly with the brakes which tend to wear out quickly. The Titan was produced for the North American market, and shares the stretched Nissan F-Alpha platform with the Nissan Armada and Infinity QX56 SUVs.
In 2005 the Titan was officially debuted and launched as a full size pickup truck. The extended cab's rear door-opening back doors didn't open independently of the fronts, but are hinged to open flat against the side of the body. The truck came in two sizes, the four-door extended cab and the four door crew cab. Both of these models were available in the XE, SE and LE versions. The length of the Cargo-bed for the crew cab was 5.5 feet and 6.5 feet for the extended cab. All three of the models were powered by a 5.6-Liter V8 engine with 305 horsepower. The Titan is capable of towing approximately 9500 lbs. Edmunds.com listed it as the best full-size truck. In 2004 the Titan was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award.
A strong competitor for large domestic pickups in performance, utility, available safety features and comfort, along with its smooth, powerful V8, the Titan is among the quickest large trucks off the line. With competitive 9500-lb towing capacity and ample passing power, the Titan was quite a beast, but it was a thirsty beast. The Titan 4WD XE Crew Cab averaged 14.5 in mixed city/highway use, and only 12.1 mpg in just city driving. Possibly the most nimble pickup, the Titan is relatively easy to drive with its large, simple easy to read gauges and generously sized controls. Inside the Titan the quality is considered quite solid, only slightly deterred by the lightweight plastic bin covers with plenty of bins and cup holders in both cab styles.
While the SE and the LE came with bucket seats in the front and column-mounted transmission lever, the XE version came with a bench seat in the front. All models could seat up to three people and were equipped with a bench seat in the back. The Titan was available in two-wheel or four-wheel drive that had to be disengaged on dry pavement but included low-range gearing. Standard was ABS. Standard with 4WD was traction control, optional with 2WD. Optional was an antiskid system, along with front side torso airbags and curtain side airbags for both seating rows. On the LE power-adjustable pedals were standard, and optional on SE. All new for a pickup, the Titan featured a locking storage compartment in the left rear fender, and a fold-flat front-passenger seat. The Titan shared its powertrain and chassis with Nissan's Armada large SUV.
For 2005, the crew cabs came equipped with power windows in the rear. No changes were made in 2006. The engine horsepower was increased from 305 to 317 in 2007.
For 2008, the Titan came out in two body styles, the extended cab and crew cab. The extended cab was available with either a 6.6-foot cargo bed or an 8-foot cargo bed. The crew cab was available with either a 5.6-foot cargo bed or a 7-foot bed. For this year the Titan was available in four models; the SE, XE, the 4WD Pro-4X and the LE, all four of them were powered by a 5.6-Liter V8 engine with 317 horsepower, and all have a five speed automatic transmission. Also for this year, all Titans received a revised front-end appearance.
The Titan XE version came with 18-inch tires, a split bench seat in the front, cruise control, a stereo system with a CD player and air conditioning. The SE came equipped with 18-inch tires, fully powered accessories, front caption chairs, a CD changer in the dashboard, leather seats, power-heated mirrors and an overhead console. The Nissan Pro-4X came with Rancho shock absorbers, all terrain tires and heavy-duty skid plates. The LE came with a spray factory applied bed liner, 20 inch tires, specialized cargo tie-down tracks, adjustable powered front seats, a system that assisted the driver with parking, power adjustable pedals, Bluetooth connectivity and a stereo system manufactured by Rockford Fosgate.By Jessica Donaldson
