NISSAN Titan Crew Cab 2016-2019 Photos, engines & full specs

The U.S. pickup market was the most competitive in the world, and Nissan tried to get a slice of it with the big Titan range.

Used as a recreational vehicle and family hauler at the weekend, the Nissan Titan Crew Cab was bigger and more powerful than its predecessor. It was built to offer both comfort and safety on the road. On top of that, it was able to carry heavy loads and pull trailers.

Nissan designers took their job seriously and made the Japanese vehicle look like it came from Dearborn, and its next destination was Texas. A big, chromed grille covered almost the whole area of the front fascia. It was accompanied by a pair of headlights with a curved outer side. For the lower side of the pickup, including the front bumper, Titan featured a special protection area engineered to withstand gravel and dirt like an off-road vehicle. Like any Crew-Cab, Titan featured a pair of doors to access the rear bench. A side step was on the options list to help them climb inside.

The interior was designed to offer the same level of comfort as a premium vehicle. There was a big center console with a storage compartment big enough to hide a six-pack without any trace between the wide front seats. In the back, the bench could accommodate three adults, with enough legroom. The flat floor made things even easier.

Unlike its regular cars, where it offers a wide choice of engines, Nissan prepared the Titan with only one option: a 5.6-liter V8 paired to a 7-speed automatic (dual-clutch) gearbox.
