"Both front and rear axles are from well known Dana with the rear being a Dana 44. The engine holds 7 quarts of oil, another clue of how serious Nissan is about Titan being the real deal. Maximum trailer capacity is 9500#'s."

I'm sorry, but if that thing came up to tow our 9000LB trailer, I'd refuse to let them even hook it up. I don't want to be out a trailer.

it looks much better with the body color grille, but still looks like it was beat with the ugly stick. and the armada looks like its deformed half-brother. damn those things are fugly. this from the same company that made the G35 sedan...

I found that funny also.. d44 in the front of a 1/2ton is fine.. but in the rear rated for 9500#'s... remember the Ram's in 1995? I think we will see that again.

what is the front axle in this thing? It says the rear is a 44, but does not mention the front. They must have a custom Dana axle, unless they put a dana 30 in the front of that thing :Q

This thread woke me up to both Nissan and Ford. It's nice to see Ford finally get some styling in there. I'm just curious to see if these american cars actually make interiors that can last more than 5 years of abuse... That's the main reason I like imports: They use decent quality plastics and stay away from the plushy stuff that both Ford and GM put in their cars back around the late 80s/early 90s... I definitely think Nissan might be onto something with the new lineup. :D

That interior owns Ford.

you must be a REAL fanboi to think that you can KNOW how COMFORTABLE a seat is JUST by looking at pictures.

Actually, I read somewhere either it was a D30 or it was custom Nissan but about the same size as a 30.

Too puny to be taken seriously by people that buy trucks to be a truck. I think my Cherokee has the same size of diffs!

I think it's got 44's in both... pathetic, the Jeep Rubicon has 44's in the front and back and thats a 6 banger with no tow capacity.. sweet Jeep though ;)
