But you should get that rad leak fixed. It's huge!
(Sorry, had to do that).

You're hauling heavy. Which one has the highest towing capacity? We have a 5.3 v8 Silverado with I think a 11,500 tow capacity. I'd be thinking along those lines. Plus it gets 20mpg. That's great for a truck.

In the full size realm you'll be hard pressed to go wrong with any of the options out there. I've heard of several Tcase issues in the newest Titans though, as well as ECM issues. Hopefully yours remains trouble free.

I have a 2007 Ram 2500HD with the 5.9 Cummins. These trucks are holding resale extremely well due to being pre-smog diesels. Mine has 135k on it and has a 1 ton cabover camper that lives in the bed nowadays. It's lifted, on 35s, and has been a fantastic truck. I also have a '77 F150 shortbed, also lifted on 35s with rear Detroit locker, front Truetrac, Chromemoly shafts in both ends, warn premium hubs, Aftermaket everything, and the old fangled granny low 4 speed. They simply don't make them like that anymore.

The older pre smog Cummins are getting top price. My oldest grandson picked up a 12 valve earlier this year. He said that no one is willing to drop their price.

I have RCV axles, DynaTrac freespin hubs, Carli ball joints, trackbar, and control arms. Thuren 3" springs, and rear shackles. PSC steering box with hydraulic steering ram. Bilstein 7100 shocks with remote reservoir with custom valving. My next shocks are going to be 3" Kings from Thuren.

2 afterthoughts on the Titan:

- "A" pillars that can hide a small bungalow!

- Steering wheel heater - yeah baby! I would have never ordered a vehicle with one but it came in the trim level. So I tried it once on a cold morning last winter. I used to consider a myself pretty tough guy, but when the mercury drops man I love this feature! LOL

Zingston

Cool, we're getting Titan bonus coverage!!

I agree with you on the heated wheel. I don't need it now, obviously... but when I lived in Detroit, Oregon and NC (mountains), that heater option was always on my mind in winter. Luckily I had heated seats. Yeah, and I'm a pretty tough sucker too! If you don't believe me, just ask one of my 5 cats.

Add me to the Titan club. Picked up a 2018 Pro-4X a couple weeks ago... dumped my 2017 Pro-4X (a lemon - many issues). My 2018 is a completely different truck from the 2017. I already hit break-in mileage (1200) yesterday. I'm very happy now, to say the least.

This one is fully loaded compared to my last one. (Leather, climate seats, Rockford Fosgate Audio, Around View camera). Very close to the Platinum Reserve in equipment.

ZCanadian - I loved seeing your list of minor gripes - it's exactly the same list as mine. I turned off my rain sensor in the dash menu (between tach and speedo) and haven't thought about the wipers since. Nissan hasn't quite figured out rain sensing wipers - wife's QX60 doesn't know wtf it's doing when it rains. They'll be on the longest delay interval during a torrential downpour and on ludicrous speed when it's misting out.

I looked at a lot of different trucks and felt that, with available incentives and packaging, the Titan was the best fit for me. If money was no object, a 2019 Ram Rebel would have been it, but I couldn't get there on the price and didn't want to wait. I also love the Raptor, but just can't justify it. I still want a GT-R in the future, and the sooner I pay this truck off the sooner I can do it. I got $14k off my Pro-4X as there were 2019s on the lot and they're motivated to move the leftover 18s.

Congrats on the truck, and thanks for the tip on the rain sensor.
Thinking that I have to do this as well!

Enjoy yours. It is a super nice vehicle!
