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, an 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

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.
