Called the "XD," it offers the effortless towing and hauling of the larger, more expensive heavy-duty trucks - including an available maximum towing capacity of more than 12,000 pounds and maximum payload capacity of 2,000 pounds (when properly equipped) - yet has the fuel-efficiency and affordability of a half-ton pickup.
While the original Nissan Titan is known for its consumer-focused innovations such as the Wide-Open rear doors, bedside storage compartment, factory spray-on bedliner and Utili-track™ Bed Channel System, the next-generation starts with a focus on commercial strength components - from the radiator to the rear axle and everything in between.
Nissan Titan XD models utilize a unique frame and chassis to handle its Cummins diesel and its expanded towing and payload potential.
Starting with a durable, proven chassis design from Nissan Commercial Vehicles, the new fully boxed, full-length ladder frame is extensively reinforced and strengthened for use with the Titan XD with added stiffness, vertical and lateral bending, and torsional rigidity.
It also features an extended 151.6-inch wheelbase - about 20 inches longer than non-XD Titan models.
310 HP WITH 555 LB-FT OF TORQUE: The all-new Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel is the heart of the next-gen TITAN XD. This beast of an engine brings heavy-duty attitude and torque to half-ton pickup territory, and does it with better fuel economy than its gasoline counterparts.
WITH ALL THAT POWER COMES GREAT TOWING: Dropping a Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel engine in a half-ton creates enormous towing power. If you’re going to use all that power, you’re going to need the stability provided by a gooseneck hitch, so we engineered one right into the frame. In early trials held in sweltering Arizona (testing ground for the new SAE J2807 towing standard), we pulled more than 5 tons, and the TITAN XD performed with total confidence.
