The Nissan Titan is expected to undergo significant powertrain changes in the very near future, possibly for 2022. A recent report claimed Nissan wants to electrify the Titan to keep it competitive against the new Ford F-150 Hybrid, for example. An all-electric Titan is also possible but not confirmed whereas the fully electrified F-150 will debut later next year.

But for now, Nissan still has 2020 model year Titans to sell and a financing deal that originally began on Black Friday has been extended. The 0 percent APR financing for 84 months for both the Titan and Titan XD is now set to expire on January 4, 2021. Compared to its Ford, GM, and Toyota rivals, this is currently the best APR deal you can get right now on any new full-size truck.

Before Black Friday, the rate was 2.9 percent. For a Titan with a $50,000 price tag, this means you can now save over $5,000 in interest. Titan buyers also currently have the option of a $4,000 rebate, but it doesn't appear the deals can be combined. Depending on how the truck is equipped, it might be better to take the zero percent interest offer because the monthly payments are more likely to be cheaper.

It's also worth noting the 2021 Titan and Titan XD will carry over largely unchanged though prices have slightly increased for all trim levels. The least expensive trim, the 2021 Titan S King Cab 4x2, begins at $39,280 compared to last year's $38,890.

All Titans come powered by a naturally aspirated 5.6-liter V8 rated at 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque, while standard features include Nissan's Safety Shield 360 driver assist safety suite and an eight-inch touchscreen. Earlier this year, Nissan announced it will end Titan sales in Canada and some were concerned this decision could spread to the US.

Clearly, that's not the case but what's for certain is that Nissan cannot rely on discounts for the long-term if it wants the Titan to succeed in the US. Electrification at some level will ultimately be necessary.
