FYI, a 285/70-17 tire is 33"

You beat me to the punch on that one. No 35's, dude. That would be a 315/70/R17. You would also need more than a 2in lift to get 35's on a Titan anyway. Just sayin.:)

Yes, you guys are right. It came with 33's on it and I have 33's on my F-350 but in a 18" wheel. The wife's F-250 has 35's on 17" wheels.

I got the numbers all mixed up in my head. Too many trucks.

Chris,
Looks like I'm buying the Titan. The price even with TTL came in under Blue Book Trade-in. Now, I'm just waiting for the Insurance Co. to pay my claim. They said it would be 2/3 weeks about 11 days ago.

Did they find your truck or is it still missing? Usually the insurers wait 30 days if it's still missing just in case it turns up and can be fixed.

Crazyal,
They haven't found it yet. I don't expect it to be found. It is either in Mexico or parted out in five different shops by now. I am more pissed about the contents(tools and personal items).

I hope it all works out for you. Either way its a pain in the butt and there is no way you will win or even break even financially. Nothing I hate nothing more than a thief. I had a house robbed back in college 20 some odd years ago and since that day I carry a gun. Nothing has happened since but I will not hesitate to use it. Off my rant now.

You never did say what year, make, and model truck you had before? Hope this new one works out for you. I have been real happy with mine. Interesting thing is I only know of 3 in my area of 50,000 or so but I am in Fresno on business and they are all over out here and I saw a bunch in San Diego last week. They seem very regional which makes since. I would say back in the area of Indiana I am from 70% of the trucks are Fords.

Too many trucks? I didn't think that was possible. Its like too much fun or a car too fast (I stole that from a song).:laughing:

Chris,
I had an '05 Chevy 1500. So, I guess you could that the Titan will be an upgrade. Around S.E. Louisiana, Nissans are not uncommon but they are nowhere near as common as Chevys or Fords. I think that Chevys have a slight edge.

Chris,
I pulled the trigger on the '08 Titan. I still haven't settled with the insurance co. but they stopped the rental payments so I decided to just buy the truck outright and deal with the ins. co. at my leisure without the pressure to settle. We are close and State Fram has always been fair. I have been with them for 40+ years and have been satisfied with them on the few claims I have made.
I am happy with the truck. It has more bells and whistles than I thought (back up sensors, electronic mirror, homelink, etc.). It is bigger than my Silverado. I need to get re-acclaimated to driving a big-un after driving the rental (Corolla) for almost a month. Also, I think it will guzzle gas. Do you know if they have a performance chip that will increase mpg?

Chris, that is a sharp Titan you have. I run the Hankooks too. Did yours start to make a little road noise around 15,000 miles? Mine were super quite at first, then they just all the sudden developed a slight roar.

One of the things I wish Ford would adopt on their Super-Duty's with the extended cab is the Nissan's fully opening rear doors. If Ford has made that upgrade since 1999, please let me know.
