Our Opinions: At its first-drive event last fall, Nissan executives conceded the Titan — good because it is — isn’t likely to peel off most of the die-hard domestic truck buyers. They're the most loyal bunch already in the market. Why then expend the main city to create a full-size pickup into what's admittedly a tiny market? Because truck market in America is really so big that even if Nissan only sold Titans to brand fans, they'd move enough to make the investment worthwhile.

It have paid in full: Nissan moved nearly 4000 Titans in July 2019, up 230 percent across the same month in 2016. There's a great like for the truck too: Our Titan Pro-4X off-road special not only looks the full-size desert-stomper role, but also delivers interior amenities ought to have a highway road-tripper. Heated/cooled leather seating, an easy-to-use navigation system and surprisingly quiet ride designed a 700-mile round trip while in the Titan perfectly comfortable, and it also returned an 18.8-mpg average by incorporating hundred pounds while in the bed.

On the plus side, Nissan delivers a fold-up choice for the rear seats which enables you configure the back for people, cargo or perhaps blend of the 2; there's a difficult load floor that folds to build a flat working surface for simple loading too. A flip-out rear step, damped tailgate and super-bright bed lighting also produce easy hauling. For the downside, there is quite a bit of driveline shudder on upshifts, especially in to the higher gears; also, the automated climate control system perceived to generate a similar blast of arctic air if this was set at 67 or 75 degrees, requiring manual fan control to maintain from freezing occupants.

From an influence, convenience and towing perspective, the Titan doesn't break any new ground inside the full-size pickup game, but it doesn't have got to: Nissan owners or brand devotees trying to find a credible off-road pickup truck will see everything they ought to have them inherited, and that's really this truck's game.
