Ive been very happy with the Titan and am in no hurry to buy a new truck as its still fulfills all my needs, and does some things even better than the newer trucks...
I got a fully loaded 04 4x4 LE with the big tow kit the day It became available.
It's got over 100K prob 80K of that towing between 5 and 9500 lb.
The vk56 and 5 speed are rock solid.
I put a cooling cover on the rear end, as I heard and read the rear ends were weak, but Ive not seen them break towing, but rock crawling in 4x4 low.
It still holds it own today in towing and performance and has none of the engine problems the hemis, or 5.3 have.

Whats it do better...fills up with dirty crappy loads headed for the dump without giving me a heart attack - doing this kind of work with a 70K new version makes me cringe.
