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

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.

Nice. Mine has the Yukon free spin kit, moog joints, Fox 2.0s, BDS 3" system that includes new control arms, adjustable track bar, and taller coils. Since it gets most of its miles on the road I opted for conventional gas shocks vs. reservoir ones. My old Ford on the other hand has Bilstein res shocks, Chromo shafts front and rear, A rear Detroit, a front Truetrac, beefed drivelines, and a 5" Bronco Graveyard lift with all Deaver springs.

I'd own a power wagon if you could have gotten one with a diesel. That said, a newer 6.4 Hemi would be pretty nice in one too. It's not likely though I'll ever buy a newer diesel and deal with all the smog BS and DEF. That old 24v 5.9 hauls my camper around just fine.

We do a couple meetings a year with the Power Wagons. Moab in May, and Rausch Creek in June. Those are the 2 big ones. A stock Power Wagon will do most of the trails in Moab.

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!
