2016 Nissan Titan

The Titan XD is Nissan's heavy-duty pickup, built to sit between a half-ton and a three-quarter-ton truck. It rides like a much bigger truck than the standard Titan, with a firm, truck-like feel that suits towing and hauling. The cabin is roomy and straightforward, with big, easy-to-use controls and plenty of space for adults in the crew cab. You get a real workhorse here, with a strong payload and towing capability that makes it a genuine alternative to the big three. The Platinum Reserve is the top Titan XD trim, with leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and a premium audio system that the SL and PRO-4X don't offer. Its 5.0L I8 and automatic transmission handle heavy loads easily, and four-wheel drive gives you traction for muddy job sites or snowy roads. It rides on 20-inch wheels with a smooth highway feel, but expect a stiff suspension when the bed is empty.
