Maybe two body styles are all that's needed now that Titan offers a choice of four bed lengths. What this fine truck really could use is a diesel engine. That would put it on more shopping lists, and buyers would discover a rig that gives up little performance to its domestic or import-brand rivals, and one should be available with tempting discounts as Nissan battles to stay a player in the ever-more-cutthroat big-pickup market.
Ed Piotrowski
Titan is the T-bone of the full-size truck world. It's not as nice as a filet mignon (Chevy Silverado) or New York strip (Ford F-150), but it's still a good cut of meat. This Nissan has brawny looks, a solid powertrain, and it rides well enough. Regrettably, it comes up short in terms of interior quality. Further, it doesn't have nearly the depth and breadth of models and option choices of its domestic-branded rivals.
John Biel
The Titan offers some thoughtful features that pickup owners who really do things with their trucks--be it work or leisure--will appreciate. It's strong and, in LE trim, fairly nicely appointed. Power is good and ride is not bad, either, for a large pickup. Nissan has built a truck that is worth the time of critical shoppers to consider.
Tom Appel
There's nothing wrong with Titan. How's that for faint praise? Truth is, every full-size pickup will do what you need, and all are pretty good. Still, some are better than others, and Titan's not as good as the best. The best? I'm calling the new Silverados and Sierras the best, but the sharp handling F-150 plays in the same league. Next comes the new Tundra, a beast to be sure, but somehow not a complete package, trailing the best in on-road refinement. Titan gets lumped with the Ram. Strong enough, but rough around the edges. If you can get a good deal, any of these trucks is fine. If you want the best, it's still Chevy versus Ford.
