Say Goodbye To The Nissan Titan
Despite Titanic efforts across two generations, Nissan has been unable to sway American buyers away from the Big-3 full size trucks. Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Ram 1500, and Ford F-150 continue to top the American vehicle charts, embarrassing the likes of sedans, SUVs, and most importantly, the foreign full size truck competition. The Titan will leave in its wake only one foreign full size truck competitor, the Toyota Tundra. With production slated to end this coming Summer in Canton, Mississippi, there are likely great deals to be had on this gargantuan pickup truck which unfairly failed to win our American hearts.
All trims of the Nissan Titan come with America’s best truck warranty from Nissan USA, which is 5-years and 100,000 miles. This warranty far exceeds the standard 60,000 mile powertrain warranty Nissan offers on its standard passenger cars, SUVs, and its remaining truck, the mid-size Frontier.
Titan comes in two models, two cab styles, and one drivetrain. The Titan is powered by a 400 horsepower 5.6L V8 with 413 lb-ft of torque, with the model’s diesel powertrain disappearing after the 2020 model year. Furthermore, Nissan has dropped the entry level “S” titan for 2024, so if you can find a leftover 2023 Titan S on the lot — msrp $39,950 for 4x2 and $43,240 for 4x4 — you may be able to get a killer deal on this far from bare-bones V8 full-size truck.
Entry level for 2024 is the 4x2 Titan Crew Cab SV, starting at $45,770 msrp before incentives and rebates; four wheel drive tips starting msrp to $48,960. Standard features include 18-inch dark-painted and machine-finished ally wheels, cruise control, LED taillights, and body color bumpers. King Cab SV (with rear seat instead of four front-facing doors) gets a longer bed and front captain’s chairs.
The 4x4 Titan Crew Cab PRO-4X starts at $53,580 and comes with Bilstein performance shocks. It also gets get a locking rear differential, off road tires and skid plates, as well as hill descent control, making Pro-4X worthy off-road competition to Silverado ZR2’s.
Nissan has a Bronze trim for its final year. It has signature 20 inch bronze wheels, bronze and black interior finish, black bronze badging, and a sport bar for the rear bed. The other special edition trim is the Midnight Edition, which is a black look model, with black grille, black wheels, black interior trim, and black badging. The top-of-the-heap, however, is Platinum Reserve model, which starts at $62,750 in 4x4 Crew Cab trim. It has 20 inch two tone painted aluminum wheels, premium leather seats, a satin finish front grille, and chrome running boards.
Confusingly, Titan offered a Cummins diesel model up until 2020 in the “Titan XD.” The Titan XD name remains, but the 5.0L turbodiesel V8 does not, with XD supposed to stand for something like “heavy duty”, not “diesel.” The Titan XD is now only offered in one trim, Crew Cab form with four wheel drive, with the same gas V8. Billed as the heavy duty version of the Titan, this is the one for max towing ability, up to 11,050 lbs of max towing capacity with a gooseneck hitch and 2,360-pound payload capacity. SV starts at $51,930 msrp, Pro-4X at $57,890 msrp, and Platinum Reserve at $65,840 msrp. The Pro-4X steps up to a 9-inch touch screen display, LED headlights, and Bilstein off-road performance shocks, while the Platinum Reserve offers 20 inch two tone painted alloys, leather seats, and brushed satin front grille, similar to on the regular Titan.
