Nissan's first entry into the full-size pickup market, the new 2004 Nissan Titan King Cab, enters its first full model year offering bold styling and a new level of innovation including rear King Cab doors that open nearly 180 degrees for virtually unlimited interior access.

Other highly acclaimed innovations include Titan King Cab's available High Utility Bed™ with the industry's first factory-applied spray-in bed liner, a new Utili-track™ tie-down system that provides superb cargo hauling flexibility and an integrated, lockable bed side storage compartment .

Built on an entirely new pickup platform, Titan's powertrain includes a new 305-horsepower Nissan Endurance 5.6-litre DOHC V8 with a torque rating of 379 ft-lbs and a standard five-speed automatic transmission. Titan King Cab SE 4x2 can tow up to 4,309 kilograms (9,500 pounds), as much as some three-quarter-ton pickups.
