It targets value-conscious truck shoppers who prioritize a no-nonsense work and family hauler without the complexity of some rivals.

VERDICT

The 2024 Nissan Titan earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 85 out of 100, a strong result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. It has 2 recalls on record, reflected in the score.

WHO IT IS FOR

  • urban drivers exposed to side-impact risk
WHAT REVIEWERS SAY

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.
