The Nissan Titan was developed with the U.S. market in mind and boasts a distinctive look and standard V-8 power. Nissan recently refreshed the Titan, giving it a new front fascia influenced by the Titan Warrior concept, more power, and a new nine-speed automatic transmission. However, only two cab configurations are available: access or crew cab and a 6.5- or 5.5-footbed. The Nissan PRO-4X and Platinum Reserve trims are here to give you the luxury you desire. Let take a look at some of the titan’s features.
The Interior
The Nissan Titan comes with a standard infotainment system that features an 8.0-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a 7.0-inch instrument cluster display as standard. A 9.0-inch touchscreen and built-in navigation are standard on the SL and up (it’s also part of the SV Convenience package). A six-speaker audio system is standard. SL and Platinum Reserve models get a 12-speaker Fender audio system, which is also available on the PRO-4X variant as part of the PRO-4X Utility package.
This Nissan gives you a choice between two-bed lengths: a 6-foot-7-inch bed or a 5-foot-7-inch bed. Several bed features are available, including a spray-on bed liner, the Utili-track bed cargo system, moveable tie-downs, cargo bed lights, side running boards, and an in-bed household-style power outlet.
The Titan seats six people with the standard front bench seat, or five if you get front bucket seats. The front seats are comfortable. The standard King Cab has adequate rear legroom for shorter drives. The Crew Cab provides more leg space. There are two complete sets of LATCH connectors for the Titan’s rear outboard seats for children. The Titan has a few nice cabin materials, but most surfaces feel cheap.
On the PRO-4X and Platinum Reserve trims, the Nissan Titan is available with Titan Boxes, which are lockable in-bed tool storage boxes that can double as coolers thanks to their built-in drain plug. Unlike the Ram Boxes on Ram trucks, the Titan Boxes are placed within the bed itself instead of integrated into the side. You can also remove the Titan Boxes, allowing you to expand the bed’s capacity.
Titan Engine And Performance

Under the hood of the Nissan Titan comes standard with a 5.6-liter V8 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission comes standard as well. This powertrain generally feels muscular and provides smooth and steady acceleration. It also doesn’t struggle to pull hills or during towing. Some reviewers note that the transmission downshifts could be better executed.
The Titan delivers 16 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway. Those fuel economy ratings are in line with those of other V8-powered full-size pickup trucks, but they can’t match the efficiency of the V6 and diesel powertrains that some competitors offer. The titan may not be as comfortable as its rivals yet ride pleasantly smooth. it’s reasonably composed on winding roads. The Titan moves and feels like a large vehicle as its handling is superb.
It offers four-wheel drive on all its models, with the Pro-4X model being the best choice for heading off-road. It comes with features like an electronic locking rear differential, hill descent control, Bilstein coilover shocks, skid plates, and all-terrain tires for rough terrain. Even though it’s the most capable Titan, it still can’t keep up with the specialty trims rivals offer, like the Ram 1500 TRX. When properly equipped, it can tow up to 9,310 pounds and haul up to 1,680 pounds. The heavier-duty Titan XD is more capable, as it can tow up to 11,040 pounds when properly equipped, and it can haul up to 2,240 pounds.

NHTSA: 4 stars (out of a possible five stars; crew cab models only)
The 2021 Titan gets Nissan’s Safety Shield 360 suite of driver assistance technologies. That includes forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, front and rear automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and driver attention alert. Adaptive cruise control is standard on SV and higher trims.
Nissan Titan Versus the Competition
Nissan Titan vs. Ford F-150
The Ford F-150 has been fully redesigned and is the best-in-class towing with 14,000 pounds and hauling capacities, now available with a hybrid powertrain. This truck is pleasing to drive whether you’re on the job or not, while a spacious and refined interior keeps you comfortable. Continuing to round out the list of positives is the abundance of high-tech features. There’s basically no reason to buy the Titan over the F-150.
Nissan Titan vs. Chevrolet Silverado 1500
The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 comes with an optional 420-horsepower V8 engine which is one of the few in the class that’s more muscular than the Titan’s V8. It has one of the highest tow ratings in the segment, its fuel economy is fantastic from its diesel engine. With user-friendly operation infotainment, the Titan doesn’t stand a chance. The Silverado also has a better interior than the Titan, as well as a lower starting price.
