2009 Nissan Titan Features Review

Two cab styles, two bed lengths for each cab, 2WD or 4WD, and four trims are available on the Nissan Titan: XE, SE, PRO-4X, and LE. Car and Driver undertakes the arduous task of listing the features of the Nissan 2009's various trims: King Cab XE standard equipment includes "rear-wheel drive, ABS, 18-inch steel wheels, a full-size spare tire, a body-color bumper and grille, a locking tailgate, A/C, tilt steering wheel, intermittent wipers, [and] front bench seat." Other standard features include AM/FM/CD six-speaker stereo, front active head restraints, and tire pressure monitoring. The larger 2009 Nissan Titan Crew Cab has as standard "a powered, tinted rear window, eight speakers instead of six, HVAC vents that go to the rear seats, power windows and locks and a 60/40 split rear bench."

The Nissan Titan SE King Cab gets the features of the 2009 Nissan Titan XE Crew Cab as standard, plus "18-inch aluminum wheels, chrome bumpers and grille, power side mirrors, [and] a tailgate with damping assist that makes it easier to open and close." Other features of the SE include voltage and oil pressure gauges, transmission temp gauge, body-side molding, remote keyless entry, cruise control, overhead center console, metallic interior trim, XM, and a six-disc CD changer with aux input, a trip computer, and an anti-theft alarm with a vehicle immobilizer.

The next higher trim on the 2009 Nissan Titan is the off-road specialty PRO-4X. According to Car and Driver, the PRO-4X is nothing sort of "well equipped." It comes standard with "4WD, wider offroad tires, and a lower final drive ratio." Other features on the Nissan Titan PRO-4X 2009 trim include Rancho heavy-duty shocks, tow hooks, mud flaps, front and rear limited slip, additional skid plates, the lockable box in the rear fender, auto headlights, fog and footwell lights, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, two-tone cloth seats, and white-faced gauges.

Top-of-the-line Nissan Titan LEs have the luxury items, plus "rear limited slip, 20-inch aluminum wheels, chrome door handles and power heated side mirrors, [and] the Utili-track in-bed rail system." Kelley Blue Book points out that "an optional spray-in bedliner applied at the factory covers the entire cargo bed floor." Other key features of the top-of-the-line model include a cargo light, sonar backup assist, Bluetooth, dual-zone climate control, cabin air filter, a rear 23-volt outlet, HomeLink, power-adjustable pedals and leather captain's chairs, heated front seats, and a rockin' Rockford Fosgate stereo.

New for 2009 is a Max Utility Package, which combines towing and bed-utility features for those seeking extra muscle and a bit of brawn.

Cars.com notes that the cargo options include "a 12-volt power outlet in the bed and a tie-down system with C-channel rails along the floor and walls. The rails carry movable cleats, each rated to hold 200 pounds."
