2009 Nissan Titan King Cab
The 2009 Nissan Titan King Cab is a King among Trucks
The 2009 Nissan Titan King Cab wows drivers and reviewers with its bold styling, interior cargo capabilities, and strong performance. U.S. News Rankings and Reviews comments, "With a high level of practicality and strong powertrain, most reviewers say the 2009 Nissan Titan is a strong contender in the full-size truck market, with some even going so far as to call it a threat to the American-made trucks that lead the class." Each Titan King Cab seats 5-6 depending on the trim and has a tough 317 horsepower 5.6-liter DOHC 32-valve V8 engine that produces 385 lb-ft of torque.
Standard drivetrain and engine equipment that gives the Titan King Cab plenty of get-up-and-go includes a Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System, a Nissan Direct Ignition System, double platinum-tipped spark plugs, an electronic drive-by-wire system, electronic sequential multi-point fuel injection, a heavy-duty radiator, a liquid-cooled engine oil cooler, 5-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission, an aluminum-alloy cylinder block and cylinder heads, timing-chain-driven camshafts, and a Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System. Consumer Guide reports a "smooth, powerful V8 puts Titan amongst quickest large trucks off the line."
Reports were also positive concerning the Titan's communicative steering and smooth handling. USA Today says, "The truck has many appealing features, the overriding one being that it drives very well. . . Steering, brakes, handling, ride, go-power -- all are first rate." The brakes and steering components include an anti-lock Braking System with electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD), variable-assist power rack-and-pinion steering, power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes, and vented front disc brakes. The suspension features include heavy-duty independent double-wishbone front suspension, a solid axle rear suspension with variable-rate leaf-spring, and a front stabilizer bar.
The 2009 Nissan Titan King Cab certainly makes itself known. "Nothing limp or half-hearted about the Titan's styling. You can see it coming from outer space," says The Los Angeles Times. The exterior features that make it sturdy and eye-catching include an underbody-mounted full-size spare tire, body-on-frame construction that includes a welded ladder frame with full-length box-section rails, tuned cab-to-frame mounts, body undercoating, Wide-Open (168 degrees) rear doors, jewel-type halogen headlights, and towing pre-wiring.
The nice interior rewards you with a rear seat with 60/40 split folding seatbacks and fold-up seat cushions, an adjustable tilt steering column, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), 12-volt power outlets, and 2-speed windshield wipers with variable intermittent and mist functions.
Safety is a top priority for the 2009 Titan King Cab. It comes with numerous safety features to keep you and your passengers secure, like driver and front-passenger air bags with dual-stage inflation, an energy-absorbing steering column, front and rear crumple zones, front and rear adjustable head restraints, front seat active head restraints, hood deformation point and safety stops, LATCH System (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children), 3-point ALR/ELR front- and rear-passenger seat belts, a 3-point ELR driver's seat belt, front seat belts with pre-tensioners and load limiters, an Anti-lock Braking System, and child restraint seat tether anchors.
