This Titan Half-Ton Pickup Is Equipped Like A Luxury Vehicle (Video)

When it comes to half-ton pickups, the action always used to be in front – as in power and torque found under the hood – or in the rear, as in bed size and cargo hauling capability. In recent years, however, equal importance has been focused on the middle.

Full-size pickup cabins are often now as fully equipped and indulgent as most luxury vehicle interiors. The Nissan TITAN half-ton pickup is no exception.

Now, for the 2019 model year, TITAN Crew Cab and King Cab models add the “emotion of a live performance” created by the new, segment-exclusive Fender Premium Audio System. The system is standard on TITAN Crew Cab SL, SL Midnight Edition and Platinum Reserve models and optional on Crew Cab and King Cab PRO-4X models.

All models also receive a new 7.0-inch touchscreen audio/IT display with NissanConnectSM featuring Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. An additional USB media port (two total) is also included, while a pair of illuminated USB-A charge ports is added to PRO-4X, SL and Platinum Reserve grades.

And, as part of a Nissan model line initiative, the innovative Rear Door Alert (RDA)¹system is now standard on all King Cab and Crew Cab models. The system uses the vehicle’s door sensors, horn and message display to help remind drivers to check the back seat after the vehicle is parked. Nissan plans to have RDA standard on all four-door trucks, sedans and SUV nameplates by model year 2022.

Exterior changes for 2019 include a new body-color outer grille with gloss metallic black inner treatment for the SV grade (previously available only with PRO-4X). The new look replaces the previous chrome grille treatment. And finally, two new exterior paint colors are offered: Midnight Pine Metallic and Moab Sunset Metallic.

Again in 2019, TITAN is available in a full range of rugged half-ton designs, including Single Cab, King Cab and Crew Cab body configurations, 4×2 and 4×4 drive, and a choice of up to five grade levels. Every TITAN is powered by a 390-horsepower 5.6-liter Endurance® V8 gasoline engine mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission.

The family adventure-ready TITAN Crew Cab is available in five well-equipped trim levels – S, SV, PRO-4X, SL and Platinum Reserve. All are offered with 4×2 or 4×4 drive configurations, except for the PRO-4X model, which is available exclusively as a 4×4. TITAN King Cab is available in S, SV (4×2, 4×4) and PRO-4X (4×4) grades, while TITAN Single Cab is offered in S and SV 4×2 and 4×4 models.
