NHTSA // CRASH-TESTED
2023 Nissan Titan
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Nissan Titan is a full-size, body-on-frame pickup truck competing in one of the most fiercely contested segments in the American market. Aimed at buyers who want a capable, straightforward alternative to the dominant domestic brands, the Titan offers both crew cab and single cab configurations. It targets value-conscious truck shoppers who prioritize a no-nonsense work and family hauler without the complexity of some rivals.
The 2023 Nissan Titan earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 84 out of 100, an strong result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. It has 2 recalls on record, reflected in the score.
- urban drivers exposed to side-impact risk
Reviewers generally regard the Nissan Titan as a capable and straightforward full-size truck that falls somewhat short of the class leaders in refinement, technology, and breadth of powertrain options. Most acknowledge it as a credible choice for buyers who want simplicity and value, while noting it rarely tops comparison tests against the dominant domestic competitors in its segment.
