My brother had a Titan. It was one sweet ride. Passed everything but a gas station.

I've had my Titan for about 5 years. Love it, got 130000 miles on it, average between 16-17mpg. Biggest issue I had was I had to replace the front wheel bearings at 115,000. I don't think it's a common issue, other than that I change the oil every 6,500.

If you think you might ever need the extra room, go with a bigger truck. I have a Dodge, not any of your choices. Good luck and enjoy

I got a 2006 four door 4 wheel drive Titan
Most mechanically sound vehicle I've owned. Other than routine maintenance, only had two minor recalls, and one issue with an actuator valve sticking in the climate control system. I seem to have some sort of electric drain going on where I am only getting about half of battery life though. Paint is soft and scratches easy. Only get 12 miles to the gallon in town.

I have an 07 and its been a great truck. I have 67K on it now and never have had a problem with it. It has a leveling kit on it and I get probably 10-12 around town & maybe 14-15 on the interstate if I keep it around 70-75.
