Even though they essentially share the same name, don't confuse the new Nissan Titan with its monstrous almost heavy-duty version, the Titan XD. The lighter, kinder gas-powered version is a much nicer truck in every way. The new Nissan also competes well with other light-duty 1500 competitors.
Chief attributes include the Titan's energetic V8, reasonable ride and handling, low-effort tailgate and par-for-the-course fuel economy.
In most cases, automotive warranties are based on the vehicle identification number (VIN), and the warranty will be valid regardless of ownership. The dealership can tell you exactly how much warranty is left.

"AC failed to properly deliver cool air to both sides of the cab. I was told that this was due to a faulty electronic control (under the dash?) and not a problem with the compressor or evaporator. It was repaired in less than a day, and has worked well since then. It is a powerful AC that more than adequately cools the cab in a hot south Texas summer."
