2009 Nissan Titan

Price Range: $26,150 - $39,350

As the name implies, you get a lot of truck in the Nissan Titan. For less than $30,000 in any configuration, it features a standard 5.6L V8 engine that makes 317 hp and 385 lb-ft of torque that can haul a 2,000-lb payload or tow 9,500 lbs. For people that need that kind of capacity -- including room for five or six guys in the cabin -- the 12 mpg city, 18 mpg highway gas mileage is par for the worksite course.
