Without a doubt, the "Ugliest" is Nissan Titan :
Ugly and bulky badging on back of truck. Too boxy in back and terribly ugly front grill. It is SO ugly, that that's what gets it noticed.
Around here in Southern California, we hate these wannabe Titans....and if we could start from the inside out, these are the poorest built trucks on the market, not just a statement by me, but a proven fact of truck breakdown videos when we look at quality ( I work at a dealer )....Titan is a mighty piece of crap.

The Titan is beyond ugly. Even the "regular" Nissan p/u scares me....

I know I'll piss off the lot of ya, but I'm thinking about getting the Titan. AAfter owning Dodge for 6 years and having nothing but problems, I've read the trailer mags, talked to others that have bought them, and I must say that for towing the Titan is head and shoulders above my 1500, the F150 and the Silverado. And guys, come on, be honest, when Dodge changed it's styling back in the mid-90s who didn't think it was God-awful fugly? Yet it grew on us. We came to even love that big, in you face grill, and people respected it. But now? Now they've fattened the Dodge's hood and grill as if they put a pig on steroids and cut off it's nose. The Durango is the worst, but I wish they would have left the Ram alone.
No folks, I think I'm going with the Titan. As far as it's looks, it's got it's own in yo face look about it, and it hauls and tows like there's no tomorrow, I test drove one. And the fact that Americans are putting it together makes me feel pretty dang good about it, the rest is all BS.....shareholders are everywhere, Asia, America, Europe....I won't let blind loyalty paint me into a corner.
Anyway, just wanted to share my penny, you guys have taught me a lot here, I mostly just read to get tips on tech problems. Good luck to all my Dodge brothers and sisters, remember, we're all drivers of rigs that are made by the CIVILIZED nations, and that means more to me than whether it's a big 3 or a Toyota or Nissan. When was the last time you saw any contribution to mankind from the dust eating, goat herding, terrorists in dirty night shirts?
Sorry, I'll quit while I'm behind.
Keep on truckin!

I will concur on the fact that every magazine and truck show out there has raved about the new titan. ... Consumer reports everywhere have come up with the Titan as the best overall rig... Even stating that it beats the Hemi off the line (with the stock 20")
But as far as looks Hemizombie is right... I hated thes dodges in the mid 90's now I am diehard Dodge. I hated the new look Ford but i have leaned towards liking them as well and its only been a few months they have been out.. So the titan will grow on people and yes it is built in the USA by americans.
But for the time being and the foreseeable future i will be driving my Atlantic Blue 1500 Dodge 5.9 mag
PS the new Chevy is the ugliest SOB on the road for my money

Remember... magazines, talk shows......are all sponsored.....and if you don't think Nissan is throwing money in to bias people into saying positive about their trucks....geez... Nissan totally sucks....worst constructed products and guaranteed death if in an accident.....it's what you don't see under the skin that will kill you.
Open up the hood on a Titan. Look at the V8. Notice the water pump in the middle of the engine with the serpentine belt just BARELY touching the top of the pump? This was the poorest design layout of the Titan and when your engine overheats down the road, you will know that this is why and the first item to fail.
Take the skin off a Titan, and notice how the frame is a copy of an Ford F150 design about 5 years ago. You wonder how Titan came into the truck market so quick? Copying.
Where Nissan is making money, is selling the poorly made trucks and not concerned about down the road quality. Everything from the brake rotors, to the point at which the shocks are attached to the frame are either way too small or cheaply built.
Smart buyers buy what is quality. Nissan Titan's are built by Americans looking for jobs, not Americans that are taking pride in what they build. PERIOD.
Because I am deeply involved with the automotive industry, and working both within dealers and outside, I have learned a lot about what happens in the world with manufacturing of trucks.
Go ahead, buy the Titan. I or the other TRUE American truck drivers will tow you when you break down for sure. That's a certainty.

Man, talk about a guy that A. His truck is an extension of his manhood, and B. doesn't know jack about what he's talking about.
I rode along with my co-worker here who towed his 32 foot travel trailer from Washington down through Idaho, Wyoming and finally UP the Rockies to 12000 feet and the tranny and coolant temps were low and smooth the ENTIRE way. 10 hour days towing, and it purred like it wasn't even working. I'll admit we went 45mph through the last leg of the Rockies climg, but only because we were in our 8th straight hour of towing and besides we weren't trying to set any speed records. So you can EAT your overheating remarks, professor. And as far as it being a true merican truck, who gives a flying nerf bar? It's more American made than most vehicles, and last time I checked, all the manufacturers have shareholders from around the world, so many different nationalities make money off all of them.....or in Chrysler's case, many get bailed out by the government (snicker...how AMERICAN is THAT? Can you say socialism?)
Anyway, I've owned them all and have an open mind, able to make intelligent decisions devoid of emotional, deluded self righteous vitriol. The tranny problems I've had with Dodge for as long as we've owned them, the electrical fiascos with Chevy.......thanks, but I'll go with the best one I've test driven and read about and asked about. Sorry if it puts a bummer in your "red, white and blue" parade, but I never let emotionalism get in the way of a smart buy.
Remeber, the American way is competition. As I've noticed in our society lately, when we are faced with competition, we whine and moan and bad-mouth it instead of making ourselves better. I'm trying to teach my kids that instead of pissing and moaning and counting on the school system to "even the playing fiel" or "get your feelings ouuuuuuut", get out there and make yourself better!
Translation: "shaddup already!
