When it comes to used Nissan trucks, there’s only one left in production today. But you can still find some great used options. These options: the midsize Frontier and the fullsize Titan, both past and present, are reliable, powerful, and comfortable. We’ll be taking a look at what makes each one worthwhile, and which one you should get based on your needs. Here is your used Nissan truck breakdown.
Key takeaways
- The Frontier is the only truck being produced for the North American market, making it the one to keep an eye on if you want a newer used model.
- The Titan lineup is pretty equal across the board. The Titan and the XD come with the same features, but the XD can tow more.
- If you’re a handyman looking for some fun, you can look for a Pro-4x trim.
The Frontier is the last of the truck lineup still in production, and for the first time starting in 2022, this model was made for the North American market. This generation comes with an extended King Cab and crew-cab layouts with either rear- or four-wheel drive, and five- and six-foot cargo box length options.
When properly equipped, you can tow up to 6,720-pounds, and have a max payload capacity of 1,610-pounds. The trims that you can find on this generation are the S, SV, and Pro-4X. The trims come standard with an 8-inch screen, but if you want something larger, then you can look for models that are equipped with the optional 9-inch screen.
This model only comes with the one engine option. This engine is the 3.8L V6, this engine is able to generate 310 horsepower, and 281 lb-ft of torque. When you’re needing some extra storage on the interior, there’s a few cubbies, one is located in the dash, and the other is located under the back seat.
When the last, and most recent generation for Titan came out, was born amidst hardship, but they still managed to put out a solid truck. This model, and the XD can be found in S, SV, Pro-4X, SL, and Platinum Reserve trims. Of these trims, the Pro-4X is the only one that can be found standard as 4x4 drive.
Being that this model is a bit older, some of the features that it comes with aren’t up to date, but they’ll get the job done. These features are keyless entry, power windows and door locks, push-button ignition, and a rearview backup camera system. Some optional features that later became standard are a touchscreen audio system with GPS navigation.
Some other optional features are a remote start, alloy wheels, leather-trimmed seating surfaces with heating and ventilation, power front seats, a premium audio system, wood interior trim, and a trailer tow package with integrated trailer brake control.
The regular Titan can tow up to 9,660-pounds, which is more than enough than what most people will need.
Titan XD
The Titan XD is mostly identical to the Titan, but because it comes with a slightly different set up, you can tow up to 11,040-pounds. This is the better option for those who want a bit more out of their truck. No matter what you end up getting, Car and Driver thinks that the Titan “serves owners best as a work truck”
Which Nissan truck is right for me?
If you’re wanting a truck that can handle everything you throw at it, then the Titan XD is a solid option, but being that they’re not being made anymore they’ll be harder to find as time goes on.
The Frontier has more than enough power for the average handyman, making it a solid option. No matter what you decide on, we want to help make sure it’s a smooth experience. Come on down to a Jarrett location today for more info!
