All told, the 2021 TITAN features the most standard power, technology and safety features in its class1.Every 2021 TITAN comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield® 360 technology, a suite of six advanced driver-assist systems, and America's Best Truck Warranty5, featuring bumper-to-bumper coverage of 5-years/100,000-miles, whichever comes first (includes basic and powertrain coverage).Powerful performance with best-in-class standard horsepower and torque
The 2021 TITAN is powered by Nissan's 5.6-liter Endurance® V8 gasoline engine rated at 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. Both horsepower and torque ratings are best-in-class2 for standard powertrains (premium fuel required).The engine is mated with a 9-speed automatic transmission with a large final gear ratio of 3.692:1– providing smooth, fast acceleration. The 9-speed gear range also means excellent coverage for optimal power for both standing starts and confident highway passingThe engine features Nissan's VVEL (Variable Valve Event & Lift) technology, which combines hydraulic-controlled variable valve timing and electronically controlled variable valve lift on the intake side to provide high performance and crisp response. The Endurance® V8 also features Direct Injection Gas (DIG™) technology, which provides better wide-open throttle performance and improved fuel economy and emissions performance (versus a non-direct-injection system) by reducing engine knock, improving combustion stability and offering precise injection control.Every TITAN also utilizes a durable chassis design, starting with the fully boxed, full-length ladder frame. The front suspension is a double-wishbone design, while a rigid rear axle suspension utilizes hefty leaf springs and leaf bushings, along with twin-tube shock absorbers. Hefty stabilizer bars are utilized front and rear. PRO-4X models feature Bilstein mono-tube off-road shocks. Hydraulic cab-mounts help isolate occupants from the chassis.Braking is provided by a 4-wheel disc system with 13.78 x 1.2-inch front/13.58 x 0.8-inch rear ventilated discs front and rear with hydraulic power assist. The high brake fluid pressure generated by an electric pump assists brake pedal force for a confident feel. Responsive steering is provided by a rack-and-pinion steering system.Nissan TITAN 4x4 models feature a transfer case designed to ensure maximum power distribution in every gear. It distributes torque to both ends and provides four-wheel drive when added traction is needed on snow, ice, sand, mud, dirt, water or gravel.Durable off-road performance has also been emphasized, with features such as Hill Descent Control (PRO-4X only), Hill Start Assist, Brake Limited-Slip Differential and available electronic locking rear differential (PRO-4X).Every 2021 TITAN features an Off-Road Gauge that displays the vehicle's tire angle, relative pitch and roll angles. Without using a gyroscope, a method was developed to calculate the vehicle's orientation using accelerometer data and calculating the vehicle's G-force.Nissan Safety Shield 360 with class-exclusive standard Rear Automatic Braking
The 2021 TITAN is a showcase for Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies, starting with standard Nissan Safety Shield 360 – a suite of six advanced driver-assist systems. Safety Shield 360 includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist and class-exclusive standard Rear Automatic Braking3.

Interior storage has also been enhanced, including an innovative flexible smartphone holder/charging system. Elsewhere, additional assist grips allow for more assistance getting in and out of the vehicle.A bold, confident redesigned exterior
Last year's TITAN redesign was led by a team at Nissan Design America in La Jolla, Calif., the creators of both the original TITAN and the second generation designs. Following a theme of 'Powerful Warrior,' the designers emphasized the truck's solid-beam construction and commanding presence with high-gravity lighting and the interlocking grille inspired by the distinctive TITAN warrior mask.The 2021 TITAN lineup offers unique grille designs to give each TITAN a powerful look and a higher degree of differentiation among grade levels – allowing for different expressions straight from the factory. A distinctive bright chrome grille graces the front of the TITAN SL. The Platinum Reserve is more restrained with a satin chrome finish on the grille and the TITAN PRO-4X is the most dramatic with a black grille centered around the first-ever Nissan badge scripted in lava red. The lava red color accents continue on the tow hooks of the rugged PRO-4X.The headlights produce around 120 percent more light output in low beam than the previous TITAN design, giving the driver a much better view of both ahead and the sides of the road. The available LED fog lights add another 15 degrees of visibility on each side of the TITAN's front end, and High Beam Assist, which allows drivers to leave the light stalk in high beam position indefinitely without blinding drivers or pedestrians, is standard.TITAN's pickup bed features full surround lighting with four LED sources – making it easier to use at night or in early morning. The rear exterior design includes LED lights and unique tailgate finishers. Just as the grilles feature unique personalities for each trim, TITAN PRO-4X features a black finisher, while Platinum Reserve utilizes a satin chrome finisher.TITAN Crew Cab features a standard 5.5-foot bed, while the TITAN King Cab and TITAN XD Crew Cab include a 6.5-foot bed. Nissan's popular Útili-track® Bed Channel System features the most bed rails in its class11 as well as four heavy-duty aluminum alloy cleats that move and lock anywhere along the walls, providing the user endless tie-down possibilities.Dual lockable in-bed 'TITAN Box' storage boxes, available as an accessory on TITAN Crew Cab Platinum Reserve, sit sight-unseen at street level and can hold a wide range of essential work and recreational equipment. Other TITAN bed features include a standard spray-in bedliner, 110-volt in-bed access and a damped tailgate that is light to lift and smoothly damped when lowering.A total of eight available exterior colors are available: Red Alert, Super Black, Baja Storm (premium color), Cardinal Red Metallic (premium color), Gun Metallic, Pearl White TriCoat (premium color), Glacier White and Deep Blue Pearl.TITAN XD delivers purpose-built hauling capability
When towing and hauling is the mission, buyers can step up to the 2021 TITAN XD, which offers the comfort of a light-duty truck with the towing confidence of a heavy-duty hauler.
Every TITAN XD model is built on a unique frame and chassis (compared to the TITAN). The fully boxed, full-length ladder frame is extensively reinforced and strengthened for TITAN XD to provide added stiffness, vertical and lateral bending, and torsional rigidity.
