Totally agree with everything you’re saying. The gen 1 titan was like the least aggressive looking of basically all the pickups around its time. Sadly the gen 2’s ended up just looking like the same ol same ol modern pickup truck with a massive square hood. That said, the gen 1’s are notoriously difficult to work on because of its stubby nose. You should see the hassle I went through trying to get to the fuse box in mine. It’s like…behind the back of the hood practically under the windshield. But I love its massive front dashboard and bubble look. Reminds me a bit of the old previas.
Ah, that G2 Titan is what I remember when I think of that model.
I do like the snub nosed look, that era truck just makes me think of Hank Hill, but I can imagine it could get tight under there, especially compared to other trucks going bigger and more boxy.
I forgot about Previa too! It’s got a dated look now in that way that they said things would look in the year 2000 back in the 50s, but I honestly still kinda dig it in a retro-futuristic way. I think they could pull off a Previa reboot today if they wanted.
