Hie Sixth Gear: 2009 Nissan lllan Pro-4X Daniel Sousa STAFF WRITER This week I had the opportunity op-portunity to drive the new Nissan Titan Pro4X in the Crew Cab version, and boy was this baby loaded. It came complete with leather, bed-liner with tie downs, navigation, DVD, trailer package and a 5.6 liter, 317 hp motor. This vehicle was ready to pull anything. Opon getting into this truck for the first time one could tell that it was going ! to be a great ride, all the comforts of a really nice luxury car were standard in the ride I received. The drivers seat was all auto- maticly adjustable, along with the passengers seat, to any way one would have liked it. Both of the front seats also had seat warm-ers warm-ers which I have come to find a great feature for the cold winters in Utah. i 'Another very cool feature fea-ture was the automatic back window that would roll up and down with the push of a button allowing access to the cargo bay or just to have better air flow. So I took it out for the first impression test drive and was surprised with how it handled, more like a car than a truck. It was very easy to get around in and enjoy the ride. The interior creature comforts Were not forgotten in this model. The DVD player was a nice addition for those in the back seat, especially es-pecially if kids or teenagers teenag-ers are involved in a long haul. The navigation system I ! have come to appreciate, especially if you are going out of your normal comfort area, was relatively easy to use and move around in, and the satellite radio is a must for any new car. The Rockford Fosgate audio system was outstanding, out-standing, it was even up to the standards of today's teenagers, pumping out ample amounts of bass, and was first rate when playing a DVD. The Titan was equipped with the nomal airbags, along with roof-mounted side curtain and side impact im-pact airbags that would make one feel very safe in . case of any accident. The fact the the Titan is so large and a 4x4 can give you an extra sense of safety. It is good to know that Nissan has thought of even more . ways to keep you safe. After having had a great first ride and enjoying it for a few days, it was time to hook up a trailer and see if all the extra gear would be worth it with a good-sized good-sized trailer in tow. I hooked up about a 5000 lb trailer. All went well except for it seemed to really put some stress on the springs on the back of the Titan. It was heavy but the Titan seemed to give somewhat more than ' -- - - .

It was able to pull the trailer without any problem in power loss or manuverabilty, but it seemed that heaver leaf springs would be in order if one was going to pull a lot of weight. With a standard 37-gal-lon tank on the long bed you can go along ways between be-tween fill ups even if you just get the epa milage of 12 to 17 mpg you could go . 444 miles between them. Just when I thought that Nissan had thought of everything ev-erything on this truck it would have been nice to have a backup camera along with the navigation system just to help you see directly behind the truck and also to help with traile-ring. traile-ring. All in all the Titan would be a great truck to drive around in and take long trips in with a trailer, even if it was just running to NEW WOMEN'S CENTER . fining 2008 1000 E. 100 N.
