2021 Nissan Titan
The 2021 Nissan Titan is a full-size pickup truck with an extended cab or crew cab that comes in standard or XD models. It lacks a stripped-down work version, but there is a Platinum Reserve model with premium leather and wood trim. There's also the Pro-4X model with Bilstein shocks and electronic locking rear differential, designed for off-road. Refreshed last year, the 2021 Nissan Titan is unchanged.
The Titan comes with a familiar 5.6-liter V-8 making 400 hp and a very strong 413 lb-ft of torque. In long-wheelbase XD models with rear-wheel drive, it can tow more than 11,000 pounds. The transmission is a 9-speed automatic that helps gas mileage but is sometimes indecisive in low gears.
Its ride is stiff, like a truck, and the Titan lacks optional adaptive dampers or an air suspension, to soften the ride.
The long 6.5-foot bed pairs with the extended cab, while a 5.5-foot bed matches the crew cab. The XD model is the exception, with the crew cab and long bed.
The 2021 Nissan Titan with rear-wheel drive gets an EPA-rated 16 mpg city, 21 highway, 18 combined, while four-wheel drive gets the same combined mileage. The larger tires on the Pro-4X cost 1 mpg.
The NHTSA gave the Titan four stars overall. The IIHS gave the Titan its top scores in five tests, but only 'Acceptable,'? in the front passenger side.
The Titan offers more standard safety equipment than rivals, including front and rear automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. The Titan also comes with blind-spot monitors, automatic high beams, a driver-attention monitor, and trailer sway control. Optional safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control and a surround-view camera system.
