What's New
Not a lot changes for the 2023 Nissan Titan for the new model year. There’s a new Midnight Edition package for SV trims with the Crew Cab body style, but that’s the only large change. Against newer competitors that have grown in capability, luxury, and technology, the Titan needs an update.
Choosing Your Nissan Titan
Nissan offers two versions of its full-size pickup truck: Titan and Titan XD. The Titan is a large pickup truck, while the Titan XD is an odd duckling that’s more capable than a large truck, but slots underneath heavy-duty options.
The Titan and Titan XD are available in four trims: S, SV, Pro-4X, and Platinum Reserve. Pricing for the Titan ranges from $41,495 to $60,465 with destination. The larger Titan XD is slightly pricier with a range of $49,135 to $66,865.
The Titan and Titan XD are further broken down into two cab configurations (King Cab and Crew Cab). Then there are two bed sizes for the Titan: a 5.6-foot bed and a 6.6-foot bed. The Titan XD is only available with a 6.6-foot bed. Some trims and models are only available in certain body styles.
Engine Choices
There’s only one available engine for the Titan and Titan XD, though the towing capacity for the Titan XD is higher. Rear-wheel drive is standard on both pickup trucks, though four-wheel drive is available for $3,290 on most trims.
Engine Type | Horsepower | Torque | Towing Capacity | MPG(combined) |
5.6-liter V8 (Titan) | 400 hp | 413 lb-ft | 9,310 lbs> | 18 mpg (RWD/4WD) 17 mpg (PRO-4X) |
5.6-liter V8 (Titan XD) | 400 hp | 413 lb-ft | 11,040 lbs | Not Rated by EPA |
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The Titan offers seating for up to six, though the amount of available space on the inside depends on the body style. Crew Cab models offer far more rear legroom than King Cab trucks and easier access to the rear seats thanks to full-size rear doors.
Safety Features
The Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite of safety features is standard on both the Titan and Titan XD. The suite includes forward collision warning, forward and reverse automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, and blind spot monitoring.
Adaptive cruise control becomes available on the SV trim and a surround-view parking camera is standard on the Platinum Reserve.
Connectivity
Lower Titan trims come standard with a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and an 8-inch touchscreen that features Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, six audio speakers, and satellite radio.
Moving up to the SV nets navigation, while the Pro-4X and Platinum Reserve trims get a 9-inch touchscreen, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a 12-speaker Fender audio system.

Compare Titan Trims Side-By-Side
As outdated pickup trucks that can tow as much as their rivals, the 2023 Nissan Titan and Titan XD are more attractive when they offer strong value. We think the SV trim with the Convenience Package is the most desirable choice in the lineup. Choosing between the Titan and Titan XD all comes down to how much towing capacity you need, as the larger XD can be seen as an option to get more capability.
