In a world mesmerized by explosive power, convenience features, and technology, pickup trucks are getting some major makeovers. It can sometimes be difficult to keep up with the continuously impressive offerings by Ram, Ford, and Chevy. Among the bunch, Nissan quietly steps into the ring with the Titan, a capable, dependable, and efficient full-size option which many buyers tend to overlook, but they shouldn’t. If you’re looking for performance, options, and the most standard power, safety, and tech features in its class, the 2021 Nissan Titan proves that it’s worthy of a test drive. Armed with convenience features to make your workday better, cutting-edge design, and an efficient engine, the Nissan Titan proves that it has great potential. Here’s why the Titan is going to be the best man for the job – no matter how tough that job gets.
A Spirited History
Perhaps the Titan isn’t one of the first trucks you think of when you’re shopping for a pickup for everyday work tasks or commutes to the job site, which makes it an underdog in the industry. The interesting thing is that the Titan has a pretty exciting history that tends to get overlooked. Although it hasn’t been around for as long as some offerings by Chevy and Ford, Nissan proves that its Titan is the perfect companion to your workday – especially if you want more reliability and dependability out of your vehicle.
In the early 2000s, Nissan debuted its Titan truck, which was a contender for North American Truck of the Year right off the bat. Winning award after award year after year, the Nissan Titan slowly rose to considerable fame, yet it seemed as though it could never quite compete with Chevy or Ford. Once Ram entered the game with its modern lineup of trucks, the Titan seemed to fall quietly to the sidelines. Even though you began to hear more about every other truck on the market, the Titan continued earning accolades for its stylish, robust design and best-in-class features. And although this underdog may have gone unnoticed as Ram, Ford, and Chevy attempted to one-up each other with every higher headline number, the Titan held strong to become the ultimate work truck that it is today.
Top of the Class
The Titan does boast some impressive attributes, like its best-in-class standard horsepower and torque from its standard V8 engine. While 400 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque may not be earth-shaking these days, getting that sort of power without having to spend thousands of dollars on an optional engine remains extraordinary. With excellent towing power of up to 9,310 lbs right out of the box, the Titan proves that it can be the ideal workmate, ready to get dirty and get the job done right. In addition to these performance features, the Titan has also offers best-in-class safety features, plenty of tech with its eight-inch touchscreen, and even comes with the only five year / 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty on any new truck. Knowing all this may change your view of this tough truck, making you take a closer look at everything that makes it special.
Workday Features
Built for hard work, the 2021 Titan includes a capable engine designed to maximize power and productivity in your workday tasks. Fitted with a 5.6L V8 engine, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, the Titan is not only extremely efficient – its smooth handling makes it a breeze to drive. Be able to tow and haul with confidence, whether you’re loading up materials for a project or hauling equipment to a job site. With its advanced Utili-track system, the Titan provides a secure way for you to maximize hauling potential and stay safe on the road. Meanwhile, its Intelligent Around View Monitor allows you to see around you from multiple angles to ensure your trailer and load are secure. Trailer Sway Control automatically prevents dangerous swaying, and Tow-Haul Mode changes transmission shift points to provide the extra power you need while towing.
Loading up materials in your truck for a job? The Titan can handle it with a maximum payload capacity of 1,690 lbs, showing that it’s multi-talented in the areas of towing and hauling. Its durable bed options with LED bed lighting, storage compartments, and a 120V outlet allow you to get more done during your busy day while keeping you organized as well. Plus, if your day calls for you to go a little off the beaten path, the Titan can handle it with supreme off-roading abilities made possible by available 4×4, high ground clearance, and Hill Descent Control. These features are further enhanced with the PRO-4X trim, which includes Bilstein shocks, steel skid plates, all-terrain tires, and more.
