I heard Nissan is joining with Chrysler.

If it's going to look like the big gay Frontier in that pic, then they have my blessing.

Guess I'll be trading in for an 09.

Good, the titan is never used for its intended purpose anyways....just a giant pimp mobile for douche bag guys who need to compensate for their "tiny tim".

The VQ Frontier is all you'll ever need for hauling...

Not with a 1200lb bed capacity and 6300lb towing it isn't. Well maybe groceries or an atv on a trailer I guess...not much else though.

"Current" Titan...

Granted the Tundra will be hard as shit to beat (nice rig, tons of trim options), but as long as there is a construction industry there will be a market for the full size pick up.

I don't think Nissan will leave whatever sales can be taken from the Big Three to Toyota alone...

Next up? Let's see what an import dually would look like...

EDIT: Never mind...

^Not too bad...

The Tundra sucks ass! I rented it one weekend to haul shit from ATL to Memphis, and I hated it! The damn thing was so squrly when driving normal with it's flex frame, I hated it. But I will admit it took curves like a champ when driving through the mountains of Chattanooga!! Titan > Tundra

Yes, but how many average joe's out there will actually make use of the towing capacity of the titan?

Maybe its just a Hawaii thing, but I have yet to see ANY titan that has been utilized for towing or hauling here. All the work trucks here are frontiers and tacomas.
