The 2008 Nissan Titan is available in XE, SE, LE and Pro-4X styles, king cab and crew cab. The Titan offers four bed sizes and E85 capability. The 5.6-liter V-8 engine offers a towing capacity for the king cab of 9,500 pounds, and 9,400 pounds for the crew cab.
"The 2008 Titan also features freshened styling with a revised front end, wheel lip moldings and all-new wheel styles," says Nissan. "Inside, Titan features a new seat design and refined meter clusters."
Options include a hands-free phone system, XM satellite radio, and an 8-inch DVD screen. Nissan's advanced air bag system with seat belt sensors increases safety.

GMC Sierra
THE 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500 models, the Working Truck, SL, SLE and SLT, are powered by efficient engines with active fuel management and variable valve timing, with an E85 option. The eight engine options range from a 4.3-liter V-6 to a 6.2-liter V-8. Regular, extended, and crew cab styles are offered, along with three cargo box lengths.
The Sierra was all new in 2007, so changes for 2008 are minor, such as the option of 22-inch aluminum wheels and an integrated trailer break controller.
"The 2008 GMC Sierra delivers enhanced stability and driving confidence from a new, boxed frame, coil-over-shock front suspensions, and rack-and-pinion steering. Five suspension systems are available, each tailored to suit specific driving requirements," says GMC. Sierra also offers OnStar and ultrasonic rear parking assist. The truck can tow 10,400 pounds.
Starting MSRP-$17,070
