Titan XD’s Little Brother Is Here
![]()
Nissan recently released details of a half-ton Titan pickup at the Chicago Auto Show and there’s a strong exterior family resemblance between the Titan XD and its little brother.
Both Titans share a similar rugged bumper design and it’s difficult to spot any differences if there are any. They have the same mesh grille, headlights, hood, etc. Except for the Titan’s smaller size compared to the XD, there really aren’t that many difference in the Titan’s facia stylings.
What’s under the hood is what sets them apart along with a smaller chassis but we’ll get to that later. The Titan will be offered with two engines but Nissan only went into detail for one of them. What we do know is that one variant will be equipped with Nissan's 5.6-liter Endurance V8 engine, capable of producing 390 horsepower and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine will be paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. As for the second option, it will be a V6 gasoline engine but nothing else was mentioned beyond that. Aside from the engine, the Titan will be offered in 4x2 or 4x4 drive configurations.
Titan’s chassis is not shared with the XD’s. It’s around 228.1 inches long and 79.5 inches wide which makes it 14.7 inches shorter than the XD. Both are the same width and they share the same cab sizes so those riding in the Titan shouldn’t feel cramped and there are three available cabin configurations for your comfort needs: Crew Cab, King Cab and Single Cab. Similar to the cabin option, there are three bed lengths to choose from: 5.5, 6.5 and 8 feet. Also following in the XD’s footsteps are the amount of trim levels available. You will be able to choose from five trim levels: S, SV, PRO-4X, SL and Platinum Reserve.
The 5.6-liter V8 Titan will go on sale this summer but there’s no word on the V6.
