Titan XD

The 2024 Nissan Titan XD attempts to provide a half-ton pickup's comfort with a heavy-duty truck's capability. It's a worthy goal but, unfortunately, the resultant truck is compromised to the point of being mostly irrelevant. Sure, the beefier XD model can tow more than the regular Titan and it rides better than heavy-duty rivals. However, not only can some half-ton trucks pull more, but most have a smoother ride too. The Titan XD also doesn't offer different cab-and-bed configurations; every model pairs a crew cab with a 6.5-foot bed. Whereas all heavy-duty trucks are available with a diesel powertrain, the Nissan only has a gas-fed 400-hp V-8. If you're looking for a silver lining, the XD does have many desirable standard features, and its front seats are among the most comfortable in the biz. Too bad that's not enough to steal customers away from domestic HD models. Ultimately, it’s the Titan XD's tweener status and limited capabilities that fail to draw interest.
