Nissan Titan 2011 Review

Nissan Titan is also available as a Flexible Fuel Vehicle designed to run on E85 Ethanol.
Nissan Titan continues as a rugged, reliable, spirited choice for active truck buyers seeking style, innovation and excellent value. Nissan Titan offers a standard 5-speed automatic transmission and a maximum towing capacity of up to 9,500 pounds for King Cab and 9,400 pounds for Crew Cab.

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.

A strong selection of standard and available safety equipment makes the Nissan 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.

For 2011, the "Nissan Titan" receives some minor options package changes and renamed trim levels. The Titan SV replaces the SE model, while the previous LE model is renamed SL. Beyond that, the Titan continues essentially unchanged.Thanks to its slow evolutionary march, the Titan remains a good truck. The 2011 Nissan Titan is a full-size pickup truck available in King (extended) Cab and crew cab configurations. For 2011, the King Cab offers only a 6-foot-6-inch cargo bed, while the crew cab features either a 5-foot, 7-inch or 7-foot, 3-inch bed.

The Nissan Titan is available in four trim levels: S, SV, Pro-4X and SL. The Nissan Titan King Cab S comes standard with 18-inch steel wheels, a lockable tailgate, a 40/20/40-split front bench seat, a 60/40-split rear bench seat, air-conditioning and a six-speaker stereo with a CD player. The Nissan Titan Crew Cab S adds power windows and locks. The SV Value Truck package adds foglamps, rear parking sensors, a class IV hitch, front bucket seats, an eight-way power driver seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass display and Bluetooth. The SL Max Utility package adds step rails to a feature set similar to the SV Premium Utility package.

The Pro-4X's Premium Utility package is similar to the SV's, while the Leather package adds leather upholstery, four-way power passenger seat and driver memory functions.
Properly equipped, the Nissan Titan extended cab is rated to pull up to 9,500 pounds while the crew cab is rated at just 100 pounds less. The 2WD Titan rates 1 mpg better across the board.
Standard on all Titans are antilock disc brakes, stability control, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags.

Both King Cab and Crew Cab Titans feature a spacious and functional interior design, with easy-to-use controls and numerous storage bins. The 2011 Nissan Titan's precise steering is nicely weighted, which makes the truck relatively nimble and easy to drive on pavement.
