My 1996 Sierra extended cab started having problems (A/C, head gasket or intake manifold gasket, rotors, cruise control) at 88,000, so we looked around and traded for a white XE KingCab.  Couldn't get the Big Tow with the XE, but the dealer threw in a factory receiver hitch (very complete kit, btw).  I didn't want most of the SE package (power windows, center console, etc.) anyway.

We tow a small motorcycle trailer and sometimes an enclosed Haulmark trailer (maybe 2,100 lbs with two bikes in it).  The non-Big Tow Titan is rated for the same capacity (6,500 lbs) as our GMC was with the tow package and a 5.7, so I think we'll be fine.

I have had Datsuns since the old days (still have two PL510s) and have always liked Nissans.  This truck is roomy, comfy and powerful.  I like it!
