2023 Nissan Titan Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The Nissan Titan may be one of the older full-size trucks out there, but it's the only one in its segment with standard V8 power. It gets new styling elements for 2023.

The 2023 Nissan Titan is one of the older full-size truck designs on the market today, but it’s also the only option in the segment with standard V8 power. The Titan provides a comfortable cabin and plenty of standard features.

What’s New for the 2023 Nissan Titan

The most significant recent styling update for the Titan came in 2020. Since then, changes have been minimal. For 2023, the Titan gains a Midnight Edition, which includes dark styling elements.

Design

The 2023 Titan has big, imposing styling, including a large grille. It’s offered in King Cab (extended) and Crew Cab (full-four-door) models. The former comes with a 6’7” bed and the latter comes with a 5’7” bed. The Titan is also offered in a quasi-heavy-duty model, called the XD, which features a taller design.

Powertrain

The 2023 Nissan Titan comes standard with a 5.6-liter V8 that requires premium fuel. It makes 400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed through a nine-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels or to available four-wheel drive (RWD or 4WD). Max towing for the Titan is 9,323 pounds, and the Titan XD tops out at 11,033 pounds with a gooseneck hitch. Other full-size trucks put up much higher numbers. The XD allows Nissan to have its cake and eat it too, as it does not post fuel economy numbers, much like a heavy-duty truck, which it is not. For the non-XD, RWD version of the truck, fuel economy is 16 mpg city, 21 highway, and 18 combined. With 4x4, fuel economy is 15 mpg city but is otherwise unchanged. In the Pro-4X variant, fuel economy is 15 mpg city, 20 highway, and 17 combined.

Interior

Trims for the Titan are S, SV, Pro-4X, and Platinum Reserve. The S comes with features such as cloth upholstery and manually adjustable front seats. Moving up to the SV adds a power-adjustable driver’s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote start, and a wall-style power outlet. The Pro-4X includes upgrades designed for driving on trails, and the Platinum Reserve adds leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats.

Technology

The Titan comes standard with a fully digital instrument panel, as well as an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The SV adds a 9-inch touchscreen and navigation. The range-topping Platinum Reserve swaps out the standard six-speaker stereo for a 12-speaker Fender premium audio system.

Safety

The 2023 Titan comes standard with forward collision warning, forward and reverse automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, driver-attention monitoring, automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. The SV Crew Cab adds adaptive cruise control, and the Pro-4X adds traffic-sign recognition.
