Five-Point Inspection: 2013 Nissan Titan

2. Little Storage Box Beside the Bed

Any job worth doing is worth doing early in the morning. That means waking up early, and waking up early sucks.

Thankfully, Nissan devised the world’s most idiosyncratic coffee cup holder. The owner’s manual will tell you this cubby is meant for other chores. Ignore that.

It’s located behind a locked door on the left side of the bed, just ahead of the wheel.

Putting a cup of mud in there for the drive would be both stupid and wasteful, but what about when you reach the job site?

Be it moving stuff, building things or breaking them down, you’re bound to be making more than a few trips to and fro. That’s where Nissan’s bed-side compartment comes in handy.

Keep your coffee in the hidden bed-side shelf. You wont risk knocking it over. You won’t lose it. Best of all: it’s plastic and double sealed against moisture, so even if you drive away with a full cup inside, five seconds with a hose absolves all.

It’s worth noting that you’ll need to buy either the Pro-4X or top-trim SL to get the compartment.
