I have recently purchased my Titan and love it. I am new to this forum and not sure if I am posting this in the correct place.
Does anyone have a problem with the tail gate not seeming to latch or close "tight". Every time I shut mine, I have to open it and slam it shut to make sure it is closed all the way. Any one else have this trouble?

It latches on both sides. I have to push on each upper corner, but that is because I built a bed cover that fits a little too tight.

Mine closes very easily. Almost too easily. I could close it with one finger. I think I would prefer a bit more snugness.

Mine closes fine but it is one heavy sucker! Wish that they had some kind of assist with such a heavy load.

There might be an alignment problem. It happens and is an easy fix.

Tenn, They corrected that issue on the 2005 models. They have a system that will not allow the tailgate to slam down.
Edit: Called TeNN TeEn. Sorry.

I just bought mine yesterday and found that same problem today.
It is so cold outside (-5F) that the rubber cushions between the
tailgate and bed couldn't expand to take up the "gap". I left it
in the sun and it was just enough to heat up the rubber cushion to were
they expanded enough to give a tight fit.

don't slam it to hard because it will break and be stuck closed like mine was for a month until the service department could fix it for me!!
