A High Utility Bed with Utili-Track(TM) Bed Channel System
The Nissan Titan exterior is again anchored by a distinctive, powerful front end and cab appearance and an innovative high utility bed design. Titan King Cab offers a 138.9-inch wheelbase and 6-foot 6-inch bed, while the Titan Crew Cab features a 138.9-inch wheelbase and 5-foot 7-inch bed. The Crew Cab SV Long Wheelbase model features a 159.5-inch wheelbase and a 7-foot 3-inch bed, nearly 20 inches longer than the standard wheelbase Crew Cab bed and the longest in class. All Titans feature a 28-gallon fuel tank, providing an excellent driving range.

Nissan Titan King Cab models also feature Wide-Open rear doors, which open 168 degrees for greatly improved rear cab access. Titan's available spray-on bed liner (standard on SL models) helps prevent scratch damage and corrosion to the bed and inner tailgate surface. Titan is the only truck to offer five channels. Titan also features an available innovative bedside storage compartment located behind the rear driver's side wheel (SV models only). Every Titan comes equipped with Nissan's advanced Endurance V8 as standard equipment. Titan offers standard 18-inch wheels on S, SV and PRO-4X models, while 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels are standard on the Titan SL. Crew Cab SV models are offered with optional 18-inch chrome-clad aluminum-alloy wheels and 20-inch chrome-plated aluminum-alloy wheels are optional on SL models.

Nissan Titan's interior features refined styling and two interior configurations - a bench seat with column shifter (seats six) or two front bucket seats with a large center console and gated floor shifter (seats five). The bench seat is standard on S and SV models, while captain’s seats are standard on the PRO-4X and SL models and available as part of the SV Value Truck Package (SV models).
The Crew Cab's rear seat is large and relaxing, with a full 24 degrees of seat back angle, helping passengers take full advantage of the Crew Cab Titan's 126 cubic feet of available space, including front and rear seat leg room of 41.8 inches and 40.4 inches, respectively. Both King Cab and Crew Cab Titans' rear compartments offer ample rear storage, including door storage bins and rear door bottle holders in the armrests and available power front windows with one-touch auto up/down function (not available on King Cab S models). All Titan Crew Cab models feature a standard power down/up rear bed access cab window.

An available overhead console system gives passengers more storage options. Titan features an available fold-flat front passenger seat that allows extra versatility and can also be used as a working area. Also available are power-adjustable front seats (8-way driver's seat, 4-way passenger's seat), a driver's seat memory system and heated seats. Titan also offers available power-adjustable foot pedals with memory. Crew Cab PRO-4X and SL models offer an optional rear-seat DVD Entertainment System with fold-down 8.0-inch monitor.
The 2011 Titan includes a long list of safety equipment, including Nissan's Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) with dual stage front supplemental air bags with seat belt sensors and a front passenger occupant classification sensor; front seat belts with adjustable upper anchors, pretension and load limiters; front seat Active Head Restraints; three-point rear passenger seat belts; and LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) child seat anchor system.
2011 Model Lineup and Equipment Packages The 2011 Nissan Titan King Cab and Titan Crew Cab are offered in four well-equipped models - S, SV, PRO-4X and SL - and with a choice of 4x2 and 4x4 drive configurations. Titan S models are equipped with a standard 40/20/40 split front bench seat with a center seat fold-down armrest, split fold-up rear seat and seating for six people. Titan SL models add 6-spoke 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, standard utility bed features, leather-appointed seating, Rockford Fosgate(R)-powered audio system with up to 10 speakers (eight speakers on King Cab, 10 speakers on Crew Cab), dual-zone auto-climate control system, wood appearance trim, Bluetooth(R) Hands-free Phone System, XM(R) Satellite Radio (XM(R) subscription required, sold separately), dual-zone automatic temperature control, front and rear overhead consoles (Crew Cab only), power folding mirrors with heat, power adjust, auto dim, integrated turn signal and more.

Also offered is the SV Utility Package with lockable bedside storage compartment, C-channel tie-down rails with 4 cleats, rear bed lighting and 12V power point and spray-in bed liner. Three packages are also offered for Titan PRO-4X: the exclusive PRO-4X Premium Utility Package and PRO-4X Luxury Package, and the shared PRO-4X/SL Technology Package. The Nissan Titan is manufactured by Nissan North America in Canton, Mississippi.

Aimed more at casual or recreational pickup users than the work-vehicle crowd, the Titan packs a handful of innovative features, and just a single engine choice.
Not everyone will love Nissan's take on the full-size truck, however
While it doesn't boast the wide range of engine options found in many competitive lines, the 5.6-liter V-8 engine in the Titan offers plenty of pulling and hauling power, and matches well with the five-speed automatic transmission. A strong selection of standard and available safety equipment makes the Titan about as safe as any other truck in its class.

Option packages and trim levels are the main point of differentiation for the single-powertrain Titan range, and the differences between the four models and several option packages are noticeable.

It's also more customizable than the Titan, with ten trim levels and multiple engine, bed, and cab choices. Comparing equivalent cab styles between the F-150 and the Titan results in a close match in price; the F-150 Super Cab costs about $400 less than the Nissan Titan King Cab.
The Ram Quad Cab also costs about $2,000 less than the equivalent Titan King Cab and features clever interior cargo options and better towing and hauling capabilities. If you have your heart set on the Nissan Titan, consider the 2010 model.

The Titan does not offer a Regular Cab Model. Crew Cab models also offer a 7-foot-3-inch bed.
