2024 Nissan Titan XD Pro 4x

The Titan XD is Nissan's heavy-duty pickup, built to tow and haul more than a half-ton truck without stepping up to a full one-ton. It's the truck to cross-shop with the Ford F-250 and Ram 2500 if you need serious towing but want a simpler, more straightforward package. The XD rides with the solid, planted feel you expect from a heavy-duty truck, and the steering is direct enough for a rig this size. Inside, the cabin is roomy and practical, with straightforward controls and plenty of space for a work crew or a family. The Pro 4x adds off-road hardware like Bilstein shocks and skid plates over the base S, so it's the trim to pick if you actually take your truck on dirt. The 5.6L V8 makes 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque, routed through a nine-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, so it pulls hard from a stop and holds gears well on a grade. Fuel economy is 16 mpg combined, which is typical for a heavy-duty gas V8, and the 26-gallon tank gives you decent range between fill-ups.
