2023 Nissan Titan Review

Name: 2023 Nissan Titan
Brand: Nissan

Price Range: $30,398 - $48,998

Titan Platinum Reserve Crew Cab Pickup Exterior Shown

The 2023 Titan has a standard V8 engine, a comfortable cabin and enough towing capacity for most jobs. It's a perfectly competent full-size light-duty pickup truck. Otherwise, the Titan fails to impress. It doesn't have enough personality to make up for the lack of choice in powertrains, features and body styles that rivals offer. The Ford F-150, Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 are better trucks overall.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Kurt Niebuhr

6/28/2023

The 2023 Nissan Titan is the automaker's entry in the full-size light-duty pickup truck segment. It's also part of the Titan generation that came out for the 2016 model year, which means this truck is getting on in years. The 5.6-liter V8 under the hood makes 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft, and while that's a pleasing amount of power, rival trucks give you a lot more choice with even more powerful engines or ones with better fuel economy. On the Titan, it's the V8 or nothing.

There are a few other drawbacks to this aging truck. Maximum payload and towing capacities are less than what you can get from the Chevrolet Silverado, Ford F-150, Ram 1500 and Toyota Tundra, for example, and there just aren't as many configurations or options to pick from as there are on those trucks. Does the Nissan Titan offer what you want from a full-size pickup truck? Read our Expert Rating for all the ins and outs as well as the pros and cons of the Titan.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Ryan ZumMallen

Below Average

7.1

out of 10

We drove the 2023 Nissan Titan on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

6.5/10

How does the Titan drive? You get a standard V8 engine in the Titan. That's fine if you like V8s but other trucks give you a lot more choice. The Titan we tested accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds, which is unremarkable for a light-duty pickup with a V8. But the V8, paired with the nine-speed automatic, puts the power to the ground smoothly.

We didn't expect the Titan to raise any eyebrows dynamically. But the steering is surprisingly heavy and cumbersome in a way that hinders maneuverability at low speed. You have to press hard on the brakes for full stopping power, and you feel the weight of this 3-ton truck on winding roads.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Titan? The Titan rides smoothly over even pavement and handles cracks and bumps in the road without upsetting the cabin. It's a comfortable ride made better by the front seats that are cushy and supportive.

The automatic climate control springs into action quickly. But the fans are awfully loud and contribute to high levels of ambient noise that always seems present in the cabin. At speed, there is noticeable wind noise, and you need to speak louder to hold a conversation on the highway.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? This is a familiar truck interior, with a traditional column-mounted shift lever and clearly labeled large buttons well within reach. Inside there's a lot of hard plastic, but Nissan does a good job of dressing up higher trims with soft materials and wood accents. Passenger space is good in the front and acceptable in the rear, though many rivals in the class are more impressive.

The door handles are huge, and it's easy to climb in and out of the Titan. There's a high, commanding view of the road — taller drivers may actually wish the seat lowered a bit more — and a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel helps with finding a comfortable position. Front visibility is fine over the hood, but the blind spots are huge, even with large convex sideview mirrors. Thank goodness for the blind-spot warning system.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The 9-inch touchscreen that comes on most Titans provides crisp and clear graphics, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity is standard. Unfortunately, parts of the screen wash out if you're wearing polarized sunglasses. Also, the rearview camera's resolution is poor and looks particularly pixelated and low-tech on such a high-definition screen. Even the Fender stereo system is only so-so.

Nissan deserves kudos for making Safety Shield 360, its suite of advanced assist features, standard equipment. The adaptive cruise control is especially effective, managing changes in speed smoothly even when other vehicles drift in and out of your lane. We also like the NissanConnect app services that include a live on-call concierge who can troubleshoot tech problems or send directions straight into your vehicle.

Towing and Storage

7.5/10

How are the towing and storage? There is a lot of storage space inside the Titan, but Nissan hasn't made it as clever or configurable as the storage in other trucks. For example, there's a handy soft smartphone grip in the Titan, but it's located in such a way that it takes away from accessible center storage space. The Ram 1500 has a similar smartphone grip, but it is tucked out of the way, pressed against a wireless charging pad.

The Titan's maximum towing capacity when properly equipped is 9,310 pounds. That's enough for a typical trailer but it's far from the best in the light-duty pickup class. Maximum payload capacity of 1,650 pounds is also a bit lightweight. But the bed is spacious, and it's easier to reach over the side than it is in other full-size pickups.

Fuel Economy

7/10

How’s the fuel economy? A Titan with 4WD has an EPA-estimated 18 mpg combined in city/highway driving. That's on par with rival V8s, but Nissan doesn't offer a more fuel-efficient engine option as competitors do. Our test Titan returned 18.6 mpg on our mixed-driving 115-mile evaluation route. Many vehicles we test on this route easily do better than their EPA estimate.

Value

7/10

Is the Titan a good value? The Titan has little to offer here. Warranty coverage is average, and there's no way to save on gas with a more fuel-efficient engine. Plus, the Titan is not exactly cheap, which makes hard plastics in the cabin more of an eyesore. It's harder to justify the costs and trade-offs associated with this truck than it once was.

Wildcard

6/10

There's nothing that's special about the Nissan Titan. It will get you and a whole lot of stuff where you need to go, but little stands out about the experience besides basic competency. Even the powerful V8 engine lacks character, and some clever touches (such as the smartphone grip) are overshadowed by their unintended consequences.

We typically wouldn't expect a ton of personality from a full-size truck. However, the Titan's competitors have largely figured out how to stand out from the crowd in some way, shape or form. That's an obstacle Nissan has yet to conquer.

2023 Nissan Titan trim level differences

The 2023 Nissan Titan is a full-size pickup truck available in extended-cab (King Cab) and crew-cab configurations. There are four trim levels to choose from: S, SV, Pro-4X and Platinum Reserve. All models come with a 5.6-liter V8 engine (400 horsepower, 413 lb-ft of torque) attached to a nine-speed automatic transmission.

Which Titan trim does Edmunds recommend?

We'd opt for the SV trim level, which is one step up from the base model. If you can swing it, we'd recommend adding the SV Convenience package for the eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, auto-dimming rearview mirror, power-sliding rear window and many other features.

The last real truck?

Papa Joe, 06/11/2023

2021 Nissan Titan PRO-4X 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.6L 8cyl 9A)

I don't understand the negative reviews by the "professionals" while the actual owners rate the truck quite well. It rides very smooth for a 1/2 ton truck. The use of analogue displays/gauges combined with the 7" digital display allows for the best of both worlds as you can select many different views from the digital display. The zero gravity seats are amazingly comfortable and the … standard safety features of the titan cost thousands as options on competitors (with the exception of the Toyota Tundra). While some pros praise the new hybrid and turbo V6s, they are yet to be proven for long haul hard work in trucks. V8s including the 5.6 endurance V8 have been around and proven to reach 300K plus miles. Price: When shopping the capabilities, I looked at the Ram Rebel, the Ford Tremor, the Toyota TRD Pro, and the Titan Pro 4X. When comparing all things equal, leather seats, moon roof, V8, adaptive cruise, running boards (short wife and kids)... I ended up with a list of preferred items. By shopping those items, the Toyota doesn't offer a big 8 anymore and the price is a solid $12K or more with no incentives. Ford and Ram offer the 5.0 in the Tremor and the 5.7 in the rebel, but easily cost $10 to $14K more with no incentives or very few. The Titan offered 0% financing for 60 months and discounts with an already lower price. All in, the Titan cost almost 30% less than the competition ($10 to $14K in price plus thousands in financing charges with the current interest rates). Sticker Titan Pro 4X at $64k with incentives down to 60K with taxes, fees, and zero % interest for 60 months totals $64,201 by the time the loan is paid. The comparable Rebel at $74K with the same percent of taxes and the same exact fees at 5% interest for 60 months = $89,575 by the time the loan is paid. The Ram is great truck and the interior is a little better, but I do not believe it is 30% better. Pros: Costs, powerful naturally aspirated V8, very smooth 9 speed transmission, ride quality, seat comfort, warranty (by far best in class), standard safety features, multiple camera views, traditional buttons and knobs integrated well with digital and touchscreen interface, front skid plate forward location... Cons: lower max tow rating than competitors, lower quality camera display, smaller aftermarket support due to market share, MPGs are as would be expected with a big V8. Final Thoughts: While it is not for everyone, the Nissan Titan Pro 4X offers a lot of truck for the money. If you are in the market for an American made (Mississippi) truck with a throaty V8 and lots of features, it should be in consideration and does not deserve the lower ratings given by some reviews. At the time of this review, you can get a Titan Pro 4X for about the same price as the new Colorado and Canyon (considering finance charges) and far less than the full size counterparts.

This was my first full size truck. I have had a few other small trucks. I test drove all of the competition Ford, GMC/Chevy, RAM, Toyota. I ended up with the 2021 Pro4X with all options except the entertainment system. The amount of features in this truck was comparable to some of the higher end models out there.

2021 Nissan Titan SV 4dr Crew Cab SB (5.6L 8cyl 9A)

This is a pretty good truck. The only downside is bad gas mileage. The steering wheel feels good. The seats are comfy. Never had a problem with any of the three Titans I have owned. I would recommend this truck as long as you shop around and get a good price. The Nissan people in Gallatin, TN are some of the best. The only deal breaker the truck used to have was it's terrible …

Update: 4+ years / 55k miles and still flawless. Interior still perfect, no rattles. 3 year / 35k mile update: No problems, no issues, no glitches, no rattles. I am not even beginning to consider swapping for another vehicle at this time in my ownership…a rarity for me. 20k mile update: Titan has been great!
