Our Opinion - 2024 Nissan Titan Review When it comes to full-size trucks, the 2024 Nissan Titan doesn’t really stand out. The standard 400-hp V-8 in the half-ton pickup doesn’t lack thrust; it gets high marks in both areas. Also, the very comfortable interior needs to be better equipped. In the US truck market, local companies are the market leaders, which is one of Titan’s problems. It also needs to catch up in most major ways. The Titan doesn’t have as many high-tech features and can’t pull as much as other trucks in its class. It also lacks upper and lower trim levels that are luxurious, as well as lower trim levels that are good enough. That gap will be hard to close, but Nissan has the best protection in its class. It lasts for five years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Nissan’s choice to stop making the full-size Titan in the summer of 2024 has yet to be enough to get people to buy their cars instead of competing brands like Chevy, Ford, and Ram. What's New? A new Bronze Edition package is one of many important changes to the 2024 Titan lineup. The major news is that the base S variant is no longer available. With the Titan gone, the base price of the half-ton truck goes up by more than $5,000. The Titan is best for craftspeople. The Titan SV is the new base model. For an extra $2980, it can be upgraded to the Bronze Edition rank we talked about above. The Titan’s new look package comes with 20-inch wheels in bronze, a black center lip and grille surround, and a sports bar on the bed. Nissan will no longer make the full-size Titan after the summer of 2024. Pros and Cons Pros Strong V8 engine. It’s a beautiful automatic with nine speeds. There are a lot of different tools to help drivers. Cons Low ability to haul and carry things. Not enough driving forces. Poor quality inside. Engine, Transmission, and Performance There are more powertrain options available for light-duty trucks than for the Titan. The Titan only has one engine and one transmission option. Its old 5.6-liter V-8 engine makes 400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque when paired with a nine-speed automatic gear. When it comes to off-road reliability and towing capacity, the Titan gives up ride quality and handling. Even though it can stop easily enough and reach 60 mph just as quickly as V-8 cars from other companies, it doesn’t handle or turn as well. The Titan and Titan XD were tested individually, but their cabs and other parts are similar. However, their chassis and suspensions are different. The Titan Pro-4X version has off-road shocks instead of the stock ones, which are better for rough terrain. However, they seem harder than shocks from other brands that have similar designs. During our most recent test drive, we noticed that the 2020 Titan had a better ride quality than the Ram 1500. Safety As standard, the Titan comes with a number of technologies that help the driver. It would also be great to have a 360-degree camera, a state-of-the-art motion detection system, and other options. Visit the websites of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to learn more about Titan’s crash test findings. Some important safety factors are: Normal automatic stopping in an emergency. Blind-spot detection and back cross-traffic alerts are both options that you have the option to opt out of. You can get adaptive speed control. Internal and External Cargo Capacity The Panasonic Zero Gravity front seats that come standard with the Titan, along with its quiet interior, make for a great pair. Top-notch materials are only found in the Platinum Reserve trim. In comparison to its competitors, the crew cab has the least amount of space in the back seats. The Titan’s interior is also very plain and has a lot of plastic. Titan, on the other hand, is one of the best ships for moving goods. All of them have a spring-assisted tailgate that is easy to open and close. They also have cool extras like a secret cargo box in the bed and a special bed-channel system. Its competitors’ cargo compartments have more storage space than this one’s, and this one’s internal storage space needs to be bigger for smaller things. The crew cab on the Titan is 5.6 feet long, and the extended cab is 6.6 feet long. The bed lengths are the same. Fuel Economy and Actual MPG The Titan should get up to 21 mpg on the highway. The four-wheel-drive version gets 16 mpg in the city, while the rear-drive version gets one mpg less. The Titan Pro-4X is thought to get 15 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway. As part of our thorough testing program, we still need to put a Titan through our 75 mph highway fuel economy route. But we’ll check its real-world mpg as soon as we can. Infotainment and Connectivity There is a bigger 9.0-inch touchscreen option as well as an 8.0-inch tablet with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Both screens use the newest NissanConnect infotainment software, which makes the experience more modern for the user. The Titan also has a mobile hotspot, several charging ports, a powerful Fender sound system, and wireless charging for phones. Towing and Payload Capacity Some of the Titan’s best tow and payload rates are lower ones. And yet, most owners think that the highest towing capacity of 9660 pounds is more than enough. All models can draw at least 9240 pounds. Price and How to Choose Based on the price, the crew cab SV with rear-wheel drive is our choice. This is especially true since the base S model is no longer offered. Of course, all-wheel drive is offered for an extra cost for people who want more power. This version doesn’t have as many extra features, but it does have an 8.0-inch tablet that works with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Among other things, it has automatic emergency braking, blind spot tracking, lane departure warning, and more.
