Starting a career in construction and need a heavy-weight vehicle to get you around the job site? Make a 2009 Nissan Titan SE your workhorse. According to Edmunds, this rig’s powerplant is thoroughly beefy and can easily handle whatever towing and hauling tasks you throw behind it.
Â
Anchored by a 5.6-liter V8 engine with a five-speed automatic transmission, the 2009 Titan produces 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque. When properly equipped, it can pull around 9,000 lbs, plus the transmission features a tow-haul mode for better handling when fully weighted down. The truck’s steering is nice and crisp too and the Titan boasts a booming exhaust note that sings each time you step on the gas.

Being comfortable on the job is important and the SE trim certainly delivers. The cabin of the Titan is spacious and functional with plenty of interior storage compartments for your smaller belongings. On longer drives, you’ll appreciate the standard cruise control, plus there is keyless entry and power extendable tow mirrors with heat for your convenience. All this rides on 18-inch alloy wheels which are complemented by the chrome grille, bumpers, door handles and side steps for a slick appearance.
