2016 Nissan Titan XD

Nissan challenges the full-size pickup segment with the introduction of a "powerful precision tool" for hard-working, hard-playing buyers - the all-new 2016 Nissan TITAN.

The flagship truck is the TITAN XD. More than just a new model, the TITAN XD creates a "new class" of pickup that stakes out a unique position in the segment between traditional heavy-duty and light-duty trucks.

The bold new design combines the capability of a heavy-duty hauler with the drivability and affordability of a light-duty pickup - and is anchored by a powerful Cummins(r) 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel rated at 310 horsepower and a hefty 555 lb-ft of torque. It is mated to a heavy-duty 6-speed Aisin automatic transmission.

While the new TITAN XD offers the effortless towing and hauling of the larger, more expensive heavy-duty trucks - including a maximum towing capacity of more than 12,000 pounds when properly equipped - it offers the fuel-efficiency and affordability of half-ton pickup.

TITAN's innovation leadership continues with cutting-edge available towing, utility features and driving aids, including an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller, Trailer Sway Control (TSC), Tow/Haul Mode with Downhill Speed Control and a Trailer Light Check system that allows one-person hook-up operation - including checking turn signals, brake lights and running/clearance lights.

Also assisting trailer hook-ups is the TITAN's RearView Monitor with Trailer Guides, while the available Around View(r) Monitor provides a unique "bird's eye" view of the surrounding area from front, rear and side cameras to help with parking and pulling in and out of tight spaces. The system also includes Moving Object Detection, which helps the driver to detect moving objects when backing up.
