The 2004 Titan Crew Cab brings a fresh, new alternative to the full-size truck category. Features include a spacious cabin with class-leading * interior room, an available high-utility bed with an industry-first factory-applied spray-in bed-liner, a new Utili-track® tie-down system that provides ultimate cargo hauling flexibility and an integrated, lockable bedside storage compartment.
Titan Crew Cab is built on a rugged pickup platform, featuring Nissan Endurance 5.6-litre DOHC V8 producing 305 horsepower and 379 ft-lbs of torque, standard five-speed automatic transmission and a towing capacity of up to 4,218 kilograms (9,300 pounds). The Nissan Titan Crew Cab will be available in three models — XE, SE, LE — all with four-wheel drive.
The new Titan, which was developed, styled and engineered primarily in North America, will be assembled at Nissan's new $1.43 billion (U.S.) manufacturing facility in Canton, Mississippi. The Titan Crew Cab went on sale at Nissan dealers across Canada in late 2003. Highlights of the 2004 Nissan Titan Crew Cab full-size pickup include:
