As its name implies, the all-new 2004 Nissan Titan is big and powerful. In fact, in 2004, it was the biggest Japanese-produced pickup yet produced. Clearly trying to compete with the industry-leading domestic pickups, the 2004 Titan has better torque and more interior leg and headroom than its American rivals. It comes as either a 2WD or 4WD in Crew or King Cabs. The King is the extended cab version. Both are four-doors. No two-doors are offered. Power comes from a 305-hp, 5.3-liter DOHC V8 and 5-speed automatic, putting out 379 lb-ft of torque at 6000 rpm. Towing capacity is a meaty 9,500 pounds. Two cargo beds are offered -- a 5'7" and a 6'6".
Three trim levels take you up the convenience chain. The XE is the base model, with air conditioning and a CD. SE adds larger 18-inch wheels and front row captain's chairs in place of the 40/20/40 front bench. The LE adds power front seats and leather upholstery, plus an optional sunroof. ABS brakes, dual front airbags, a tire monitor are standard, with side curtain bags and stability control optional. The 2004 Titan also offers some segment innovations in the cargo bed. The Utili-track rail system on the floor and sides allows you to attach objects onto it. And a factory-installed sprayed-in bedliner to help protect the bed is surprisingly the first of its kind. Other options include an off-roading package.
There are lots of storage compartments, including an armrest console with the front bench seat. A lockable box in the bed is also a nice touch. Interior room is spacious, with the King Cab featuring 180-degree rear doors for easier passenger or loading access. Drivers of the 2004 Nissan Titan praise its power, pickup, and towing capabilities, saying it rivals the F-150. While providing the heft of a truck, it handles a lot like a car, though the turning radius is noticeably large. Other highlights include the styling, the Utili-track, and the roominess. Criticisms focus on the low gas mileage, cheap-looking interior materials, and long-term seat comfort. There is an issue with early brake wear, and Nissan customer service does not impress owners.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2004 Nissan Titan love its power, spaciousness, and comfort, making it a great choice for families and those who need to haul heavy loads. Many drivers enjoy the smooth ride and robust features, although some find its size challenging when parking. Fuel economy is a common downside, with several mentioning that it can be a gas guzzler. Despite a few quirks and rough rides, the Titan is recognized for its performance and reliability."
It has plenty of room. Drives smooth and has a lot of power ! Very satisfied overall!
March 13, 2021I bought it! Is very big, yet easy to drive and see everything. I usually drive a smaller car and like the higher up view of the truck. Like the leather seats and the roomy crew cab which will be great for my family, like the lift and handgrip to get in for me and my mom.
December 3, 2020Great truck, lots of power, lots of room, very comfortable, can pull anything, looks great, braking sucks, handles good, mpg sucks, not many repair costs, fun in the mud, had it since brand new, great sound system, decent sized bed

February 16, 2012Large solid truck with all the bells & whistles - Very Nice
December 22, 2021Easy to drive and operate. Very reliable and comfortable. For a big truck, it's one of the best overall. Lots of power, towing capacity and comfortable on long trips. It does everything a little better than the competition. Does everything the American trucks do except with the added reliability of a Nissan.
December 23, 2012I love my truck, the acceleration is good but not the best. The quality has not been an issue in any way so far and it has just past the 51k mark. It is fun to drive even as a truck. Gas has become more of an issue as most of my driving is now in the city limits but I still really do love to drive it so makes it worth it.
August 1, 2008Nice truck. Neat interior. Has suicide doors that don't open unless the front doors are open first. Lots of folding seat options. First set of brakes wore out quickly. The gas pedal is very touchy. This truck does NOT get good mileage. I doubt it gets the supposed 14 city and 18 highway. I haven't owned long enough to know for sure. Also, I don't think the second set of doors have enough support to last. Front window makes me feel like I have tunnel vision. Conversely, the side view is bigger and better. My seats were not Power, which I prefer. Nice CD kit. Drives well. Haven't towed with it yet. Funny little quirk with the heat/cooling selector--turn it to certain spots make it appear to be the adjacent setting. Hard to explain. I bought it from original owner. In three years, it depreciated from $29,000 to $17,000.
January 14, 2008Very nice! The Titan SE has a great balance of power and speed. This truck has maybe a little too much of everything. I thought I bought a Truck and ended up with a Cadillac, all the bells and whistles. Very easy to work on and the parts are reasonable. Its easier to say whats not in mine; No, heated seats, electric seats, back windows dont roll down, no Butler or Maid. So basically if the accessory isnt in this truck you dont need it. I paid $6,500+ tax for a Titan with under 200,000 miles on it. And my dog likes it so that sealed the deal. Even the two wheel drive sits up a little high for grandma to get in so get a set of running boards.
May 23, 2022Drives great. Start in the cold. Doesnt feel bumpy. Very fast and powerful. Great truck brand
February 9, 2022Reliable and rugged - Great truck, up to 130,000 miles. Trust to take all over the country as it has already been. Its pulled dually s out of ditches! 4x4 is great on the truck, gas mileage is horrible ofcourse lucky if you get 16 mpg. Lucky! Otherwise I love the style, always have hope they don't change it! Though as reliable as these trucks are i'll have it until it croaks...if ever!
