New Truck

[mlammerhirt]

Picked up my (new to me) 2017 Nissan Titan on Thursday from the Nissan dealership in Canidaguia NY.

 

Was casually browsing the web the last few months and decided to pull the trigger on this after my brother in law hooked me up with his buddy that is the district manager.

 

It ended up being a 2017 put into service 11/30/17 and only having 4700 miles on it when I made the deal on 3/22/18. Never thought I would own a white truck, but with all the extras it has with the comfort and convience package I couldn't pass it up.

 

It was a bitter sweet ending....had the ole trailblazer since it was new 2/28/09. Put a little over 149,000 on her in around 9 years, and she definitely treated me well. Time to make new memories, and and enjoy the updated features!

 

Now time to add some accessories....any must haves for an outdoor family.

 

Looking to out in a bed mat and tonneau cover shorty.

Nice Truck...   I went with the Extang 2.0 toneau cover on my F250 and love it...   their customer service is VERY good also..

Sharp looking truck I’ve always liked white. Congratulations!!!

For me a bedliner, tonneau cover, bed lighting for those early mornings/late nights, a large plastic tote for bungee cords, ratchet straps jumper cables tow rope and receiver ball and hitch. I also hate chasing my cargo all over the bed of the truck so I made a divider out of a 2x6 to keep stuff near the tailgate.

Enjoy the new ride!

Congrats. Any plans on detaiing? I have seen some camo trim packages that look really sharp on white.

Congratulations!  Nissan makes a great truck. My 06 frontier has almost 170k on her and still runs great. I'm sure yours will serve you well too!

Congrats.   

Rino liner would be the first thing I'd get.  Wouldn't want those pullups to scratch the bed.

I have been lightly searching the net for some examples......all that white just screams "I need some camo accents". With all the new vinyl wraps they make....it can be easily removed if the next guy/gal doent like it.

In bed lighting is a great idea when the tonneau is on? How is that powered?

White is actually great. Paint super thin anymore, and white helps concealing if you get rock chips  and road nicks.  I bought a new white Escape this summer, and was concerned I would be bored of white eventually, but I absolutely love my choice.

Congrats, and best of luck. Enjoy it!

Yep while the tonneau is on. They make them several ways. Some you wire into your battery and mount a switch inside the cab. Some get wired in and tap into the cargo light and some are battery operated and have a switch right in the bed of the truck. I don’t think I’ve seen it but ideally I would like one that wires into the battery and has a switch in the bed of the truck.

They all install under the rail of the bed so they are at least semi protected from getting smashed by cargo.

Nice truck, I think you need one f these to keep the interior organized.....Just sayin..

I've had 2 Nissan frontiers and have had great luck with them.  Nice truck

[Cabin Fever]

I've had 2 Nissan Frontiers. One ran great, but I totaled it in a head on collision. I then got a brand new one, but I had to put that one down, as it was a lemon... Good luck with the Titan. She's a beauty!

Nice ride, the boys are liking it too I see

 Did you message Moog about a carpeted bed liner ?

I'm always interested in the story behind vehicles less than a year old being for sale. 

 

congrats btw and get yourself a bedliner! 

[mlammerhirt]

This was put into service by the district manager/small percentage owner of the dealership. Guess its a perk he has contractual wise to roll a new vehicle every couple of months. Once I determined it was for his personal use it made the decision very easy to pull the trigger.

It needs a bed rug.  Just flat out incomplete without one!  I also recommend the decked storage system if you like storing hunting gear.  But it does kill the idea of carting around gravel and such.

Not yet sold on the bed rug(lol I know your live runs deep for them)....may go with the bed mat made by weather tech. No real plans on hauling stone, topsoil or mulch....will use the trailer for that.

Tell me more about this decked storage system??

Joking aside, I really like this system for the way I use the truck.  If I was using it for work daily, I might want not want to lose the bed depth.  But if you use it primarily for recreational stuff like I do, its ideal for organizing.
