The Titan is an honest truck, but it's restricted due to its single engine option, just two body configurations, and limited load capacity. All Nissan Titan trucks have the same engine specs, with a 5.6-liter V8 delivering 400 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque, but it's not the most practical or economical workhorse around. Both King Cab and Crew Cab body styles are available.
We appreciate an eight-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay (wireless on upper trims) and Android Auto being standard even on the entry-level model, not to mention Nissan's Safety Shield 360. It's a reasonably comprehensive baseline spec, but apart from the S, there are three other trims to select from. Each trim builds on the one before it, adding a luxury layer to disguise the basic workhorse better. High-end models get leather seats with front seat heaters, power-adjustable front seats, a moonroof, and a nine-inch infotainment system. The Pro-4X model is quite interesting, coming out of the factory equipped for proper off-roading with its electronic locking rear differential.
Nissan chose the optional packages to suit the nature of the vehicles. The King Cab S is available with minor but useful extras like the Accessory Utility Package for $795 with its trailer hitch and bumper step. You can also add a Tow Package for $790 and a Utility Package for $1,690. The Tow Package may seem cheap, but you have to equip the Utility Package to get it.
The Pro-4X is available with a $2,190 Utility Package that adds LED bed illumination, the Utili-track channel system, and the premium Fender sound system, to name just a few. Pro-4X and Platinum Reserve models can be had with a $1,490 moonroof, while the latter model has its own $1,390 Utility Package that adds Titan boxes for secure small-item storage in the bed and a rear bumper step for the vertically challenged. Notably, this package requires the moonroof option to also be equipped.
New for the Crew Cab SV this year is the Midnight Edition Package for $1,990 with its black exterior trim, black 20-inch wheels, a black headliner, and black A-pillar upholstery.
