2019 Nissan Titan Crew Cab 5.6L V8 9AT 4×4 (400 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Nissan introduced the refreshed version of the Titan’s second generation in 2019 for the 2020 model year, and it came with some significant improvements.

The Titan nameplate appeared on the market in 2003 and competed in the full-size pickup truck segment. In 2016, Nissan launched the second generation of this nameplate and tried to compete with vehicles such as the Ford F-150 or the RAM 1500, to name just a few.

After several updates in the following years, the automaker decided to launch a refreshed version in 2019, improving the vehicle’s exterior and interior.

Unfortunately, the vehicle appeared in unfavorable moments when the pandemic struck the world. Even if that situation affected sales, Nissan tried to keep the model on the market but offered it in fewer versions than before.

As a result, customers could get the vehicle in a choice of four trim levels, with either a King Cab or a Crew Cab, while the regular cab was scrapped from the list.

At the front, the automaker offered a choice of three grilles for the 2020 Nissan Titan Crew Cab, with body color, black, or a satin chromed finish, the latter being reserved for the Platinum Reserve grade. Along with the refreshed version, Nissan installed LED headlights for its largest pickup.

Changes went further with the introduction of new packages that offered customers the option for two-tone paint jobs, side steps, or an off-road-oriented styling with exposed red towing hooks for the Pro-X grade.

Inside, the Titan Crew Cab offered the same ample room where five adult-sized passengers could sit comfortably. On the center stack, the automaker installed an 8” touchscreen for the infotainment system fitted as standard, while a 9” unit was available as an option.

In front of the driver, Nissan enhanced the instrument cluster with a 7-inch display, which was the largest in its category at the time of launch, that was placed between the analog dials of the speedometer and tachometer.

The front seats were wide and were designed using the “zero-gravity” concept, which made them very comfortable on long travels. A wide center console separated the front occupants. It housed a few storage areas, two cup holders, and a tall center armrest. At the same time, Nissan offered USB ports and outboard heated seats for the rear seated occupants. Furthermore, a power outlet was also installed on the center console’s end.

Nissan kept the same 5.6-liter V8 engine, producing enough power and torque for the full-size pickup. It was paired with a nine-speed automatic gearbox that sent power to the rear or in all corners, depending on the option.

The 4WD versions also featured rear locking differential. When it made the Titan, Nissan used the classic solution with front independent suspension and leaf springs for the rear solid axle, which gave the vehicle adequate road behavior and a decent payload for its class.
