The Nissan Titan is a full-size pickup truck produced in the American market by Nissan Motor. The truck shares the stretched Nissan F-Alpha platform with the Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX56 SUVs, and is manufactured in Canton, Mississippi.

The Titan is not intended to challenge the big 3 “Detroit Trucks” in sales numbers, but rather is meant to be an alternative to them and provide Nissan with some in-roads into the highly competitive and profitable truck market.
The Titan features a highly sophisticated 32 valve 5.6 L VK56DE V8 engine which generates 305 hp (227 kW) at 4900 rpm and 379 ft·lbf (514 N·m) of torque at 3600 rpm. The 2007 model has been upgraded to 317 hp and 385ft-lb of torque. It is available in either rear wheel drive or four wheel drive with a 5-speed automatic transmission. It comes with a choice of a Crew Cab with a 5′7″ bed or King (extended) Cab with a 6′7″ bed. The 2008 Titan lineup has an optional 7-foot long bed to the Crew Cab and an optional 8-foot long bed to the King Cab. It also with the long bed will come with a larger 37-gallon fuel tank. The already available 5-speed transmission and 5.6L V8 will remain standard equipment on all Nissan Titans.
The Nissan Titan comes in four basic trim levels: XE, SE, Pro-4X, and LE. The trim levels are combinations of the features offered on the truck which include:
* Navigation system
* DVD player with screen
* Side airbags
* Off-road package
* Traction Control

Upon its release, the Titan was praised for its combination of a roomy interior, strong towing capacity, aggressive styling, and innovative features, such as wide opening rear doors in the King Cab, factory sprayed-on bedliner, and a lockable storage compartment outside the bed on the driver’s side. It was listed by Edmunds.com as the best full-size truck. The Titan was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award for 2004.
The Titan has drawn criticism for its limited body styles. In contrast to other full-sized pickups, the vehicle does not offer a Regular Cab, and is only available with the King Cab and Crew Cab models. In addition, it is only available with the 5.6L V8, and does not offer a V6 engine option. The truck has also been criticized for poor interior quality of materials.
The Titan has a 5-star rating from the NHTSA for driver frontal crash, and a 4-star rating for passenger frontal crash.
