Vehicle Highlights

A new truck with innovative rear doors marks Nissan's entry into the full-size pickup market. This Japanese automaker's Mississippi-built Titan competes in size and power with Ford, General Motors, and Dodge rivals. It is offered in 4-dr extended-cab and 4-dr crew-cab versions in XE, SE, and top-line LE trim. The extended cab's rear-opening back doors do not open independently of the fronts, but are hinged to open flat against the side of the body. Cargo-bed lengths are 6.5 ft for the extended cab, 5.5 for the crew. Standard on XE and optional on SE is a front bench seat with column-mounted transmission lever. SE and LE have standard front buckets with a center console and floor gearshift. All have a 3-passenger rear bench. The only engine is a 305-hp 5.6-liter V8 mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. Titan offers 2-wheel drive or 4WD that must be disengaged on dry pavement but includes low-range gearing. ABS is standard. Traction control is standard with 4WD, optional with 2WD. An antiskid system is optional, as are front side torso airbags and head-protecting curtain side airbags for both seating rows. Power-adjustable pedals are standard on LE, optional on SE. Pickup firsts include a locking storage compartment in the left rear fender, factory spray-in bedliner, adjustable cargo-bed tie-downs, and a fold-flat front-passenger seat. Titan shares its chassis and powertrain with Nissan's Armada SUV.
