When I went to the Philly Auto Show, some friends had a discussion about girls and trucks and I was surprised to learn how many of my friends love and own or have owned one!
That inspired me to share my own love for trucks and bring you this review, where I went all in, to share why girls love, really love trucks!
But first let’s review some information on the Titan XD Platinum Reserve :
- It’s almost 242.9 inches long and has a 6 1/2 foot bed. (Most crew cabs have a 4′ bed.)
- It has more than 2,000 lb max pay load and more than 12,000 pound towing capacity
- 17 miles per gallon in the city and its a diesel engine truck
- 6 speed auto transmission, 5.0 liter Cummins v8 turbo diesel with a 2 stage turbo system
Look at the beautiful leather interior:
- Heated and cooled seats.
- Heated steering wheel.
Love the trailer light check and trailer manual break control and many power outlets.
- 2 AC outlets one in the back and one in the bed
- Adjustble head lights with 4 different settings
- Switch to change the outlet from 150 to 400
- Memory seat controls for driver
- electronic switch fr0m 2wheel to 4 wheel drive
- Power sliding window
- Nissan connect and seven inch color touchscreen display with apps compatibility
It fits my make up holder, which allows me to put make up without having it fall all over the seat!
- The sound system – Rockford Fosgate – lots of bass!
- Camera – front and back
Let’s look at the outside:
- LED Headlights
- Fog lights
- Chrome grill
- 20 inch wheels
- 6 1/2 ft. bed
- Bed channel tie down cleats
- LED rail lights
I truly enjoyed the pick up and how comfortable and quiet it was. We drove it around to test it and I had a great ride!
Now watch how much fun I had sharing it all with you:
I have to say:
- I had trouble taking it through a parking garage since it’s such a tall vehicle, not meeting some clearance levels
- I also had trouble in the garage since I couldn’t get the mirrors to fold – it was hard to fit it in narrow places – just thinking about somebody who has to work or park in the city.
- I also missed the blind spot warning lights and sounds. I had trouble with such a large vehicle and not having that feature, for me it was harder to drive on the highway.
- Being Brazilian, heated seats and steering wheel are a must, the steering wheel didn’t really get hot enough and the seats didn’t get warm enough for me. The cabin heater was pretty warm, though.
But are you ready? I want to share my favorite five reasons why I love the Titan:
Best View Ever
I was sitting so high in this beauty, the road view gave me that girl power sense that no other vehicle has given me!
I always put make up on the go, you know how busy I am, always running. The front compartment allowed me to fit my make-up caddie, instead of playing hide and seek and watching my make-up falling all over the car while trying to apply it, every time there was a stop! Love it!
My 3 other reasons have to do with the truck’s bed! Yes, do you know I asked a mathematician and he said that we can fit 3,467 pairs of shoes in the Titan’s bed? Math doesn’t lie. 🙂
When it’s Spring time, I always have to take 3 trips to the nursery, because my husband’s small truck bed does not fit all the plants and mulch we need! Not with the Titan!
My absolute favorite, if you ever feel tired, you can always, just lie down in it and enjoy the sunset!
I hope you enjoyed my review, and if you were considering buying a truck then I hope it inspired you to go ahead and buy it! Also, if you are interested in some modifications related to the engine, etc., you can go forward with it. For instance, you can get a 6.7 cummins tuner or tuner for another truck model that might enhance the performance of the engine and increase the torque of your truck.
Have you ever had a truck? Have you thought about buying one? Let me know what you think!
Give us a Trendy Shout!

Since I was a little girl I’ve known what my first vehicle was going to be – A 90’s white Dodge Cummins.. Just like Daddy used to have! Thanks for sharing this review!

It is always my dream to have my own truck someday. Hopefully in a year or two.

My brother has a huge truck, if you are a short girl like me it can be a bit difficult to climb in.

You look so excited! I would be too. LOL wow. You got leather seats. It looks brand-new. I could sense that new car smell.
cathy
Love the 2 tone colored interior! What a great truck!
Inspiring Kitchen
Good to know about the trucks details. Thanks.
Tanisha
While I don’t think I would be comfortable driving a truck personally, this one is very nice and if I ever got over that fear I would get one like this…You had me at power outlets and space for makeup application! 🙂
MsCrookedHalo
I have always wanted a dual cab Ford F150 in blood red. Drool. Lol.
Kerri
If I were able to own an extra car, I would love to try a truck. Looks like you have lots of room!
Loriann Cargill Bustos
I went from a Jeep to Passat a few years ago, and while I love my VW I do miss my truck every now & then!
Emma white
The truck looks lovely, wish I could drive as I would love to have something like this!
doran poma
How fun! I love when I get to rent a truck for errands but I don’t think i would like one all the time. I get so paranoid I might run something over!
Rosey
My husband had one years ago and I Drove it. I’d like to have one of my own now, they’re practical.
Jelli
My first vehicle was a truck. I really liked riding high and being able to haul my things when I moved.
Justine Howell
That would be a fun truck to drive for the weekend!
Bonnie @wemake7
I totally miss my truck! Would love to get one someday soon.
Garf
I like the interior and the built-in GPS. I definitely need the help of a GPS, especially when taking a road trip alone. I am not good at navigation.
Milena
That looks like a great truck. I’m a small car person. I drive a little red Beetle!
Elizabeth O.
Nissan makes really awesome pick-up trucks. I love how spacious their trucks are. It’s perfect for transporting things especially during long vacations outdoors!
Up Run For Life
I have secretly wanted a truck for a long time. I don’t want one this huge but maybe a smaller one. I never got one though.
Courtneylynne
Omg now that’s a truck! My dad has always driven trucks so I have always been a huge fan of them!!!!
Athena
Trucks are awesome – and yes I have one. I did have one years ago and sold it. The second I sold it, I regretted it. Needless to say – I ended up with another. Then someone hit it while I had it parked and totalled it… Starting again – got another and that is the one we have right now.
Sarah Bailey
Oh wow that is one awesome looking truck, we don’t seem to do them in quite the same way as you do over here – but if I ever get a chance to drive one I am totally going to give it a whirl. x

I so know what you mean. Well, I own a sedan but I am seriously considering getting a bigger car the next time I make a purchase. I have a lot of girlfriends, mostly petite girls and they all own trucks or these huge SUVs. They tell me that they feel the power and it feels as if no one can bully them on the road. Lol.
Kathy Kenny Ngo
I feel you. I’ve always wanted a big car or a big truck for myself. It just feels more powerful.
Eloise
looks like a great truck, it would be very useful to have one of these!
Michelle Gwynn Jones
I can appreciate a truck, but I have never had a desire to own one.
Heather
I like trucks! I think owning one is nice, but not practice for me yet since I’m carpool mom. I do have memories of mud bogging as a kid. That was fun.
Laci
Love this I live in a tiny town in GA and we all have a love for trucks !
Amanda Love
I think I’m one of those girls who’s never had a love affair with a truck. They just aren’t for me. Here in CO they are pretty popular but I love a smaller car or SUV.
