Talk About Delusional

[tone357]

I found this nice little ditty while researching the Denali. Brand loyalty obviously can cross over into delusion. :-)

 

"Contrary to the glowing praise for my truck, my business partner bought a Denali CC, 4X4. He got a 'raging bargin, employee price' of 37K (is that really a good price?) and I think the thing is not all that cool. From the comparisons I read, it has all the power of the Titan, maybe even a bit more. The leather smells a little higher quality (is smell an indicator of quality?) but otherwise I don't like it. The cab is cramped, the bed is bare metal with no hooks. The tailgate is more difficult to open than a 20 year old truck and 'clunks' down like a $10K used truck. The exterior styling is BORING. The stereo has no subwoofer and is pretty much a POS as far as I am concerned. The running boards are skinny and small. You can't even tell the thing is a 4X4 because it sits so low to the ground. I just don't see why this truck would even be in the same league as the Titan let alone for 6K more than I paid for my LE. I didn't actually drive it but have driven a friends Tahoe SUV of the same year so I have a pretty good idea. Of course the Titan would still be my first choice but I think I would take just about any other manufacturer over this truck. Anyone have any input?"

Worst case of truck envy I have ever seen....

I wonder what else he smells to determine the quality of...

 

The titan looks ok and engine seems to be good but the interior is terrible imo, ugliest steering wheel I have ever seen.

Yeah...he need some REAL complaints. Thats the best he can come up with...

No matter what trim level, how much they cost, they are truly the ugliest truck I've ever seen. I have seen a few lifted, and it makes a world of difference to my taste. They look alot better lifted from the outside. The inside is cheap and UGLY.

 

Again.. My opinion... but they don't hold a candle next to a GM truck for style or comfort.

The Titan isn't exactly a pretty truck in my eyes. It may ride higher than a GMT900 and they can be had with what seems to be a pretty nice Rockford-Fosgate (sp?) stereo but that's about where it ends to me. Lots of the Titan has what I call "huge for the sake of being huge" deal in the interior, like the Tundra. Giant control knobs and whatnot. And I don't know if it's changed but I hated the amber instrument lighting Nissan used on that truck as well as other Nissans I've driven. Most trucks still have bare metal beds and I'm sure the Nissan spray-in doesn't hold a candle to Line-X, because from my experience nothing does. And I know styling is subjective, but the current Sierra is hands down the best looking half-ton out there right now. Especially in Denali trim.

What a titan drive down the road. Keep an eye on the bed. They shake horribly. Looks as if they are going to fall off

 

Also a Tahoe and Denali arent really the same. Different motors, interior etc.

I have a Sierra SLT (not Denali, but one step away) a friend bought a Titan. His is the upper level Pro 4X, leather etc.

 

We took a trip in it, my impressions:

*The seats have no bolstering, very flat and not nearly as comfortable as mine (and I actually liked my GMT 800 seats better).

*The radio display is black letter on orange background, really??? reminds me of a friend's old Nissan Sentra, a 82 model...

*Their beds are composite floored, appear to be very durable, but I have no issue with a metal bed with a spray in liner

*The Titan is a quick truck with a 5.7L engine, but it gets horrible fuel economy

*The Denali's bed does have hooks, he just didn't look. If he is referring to Nissan's version of the Cargo Management System, it's a option on either truck

*The Denali does have a subwoofer, although it is weak, I'm not sure if the Titan has a better system, we never turned my friend's up.

*Nissan Titan does have a standard tailgate down assist, it's pretty nice.

*The GMC SLT interior is WAY more luxurious than the Titan top line, this my friend and I both agree.

*The Nissan does have an electronic locker available, it only works in 4LO though

*The Nissan does have a "simulated front limited slip", it uses the abs to control wheel slip

*I don't care for step bars one way or the other

 

bottom line, I like my truck more.

I wouldn't own either one. I don't really like the Titans and I think the Denalis are over priced. Give me a GMC or Chevy and I'll take the extra 10k and use it for something useful.

You do know that the Denali IS a GMC right?......
