The mighty Titan XD

Like the Greek gods it’s named for, the 2017 Nissan Titan XD is strong. Choose between the standard V8 gas engine or an available turbodiesel V8, both of which deliver a huge amount of power. The five trims range from basic to luxurious, so there's a 2017 Titan XD that’s right for you, whether you’re looking for a work truck or luxury tower. The Titan XD’s array of tow-friendly features and great towing capabilities make it a standout if you regularly tow or haul equipment for work or play.

5 reasons to buy the 2017 Nissan Titan XD

1. Towing 

Whether you’re hauling light equipment to the job site or moving your fifth wheel to your summer campsite, you’ll love the towing capabilities of the 2017 Nissan Titan XD. With the available 5L turbo diesel engine, the 2017 Titan XD can tow up to 12,640 pounds when properly equipped.

Available features like tow mirrors, a goose-neck hitch, tow hitch guidance, and a system that allows you to check your trailer lights from the cab make moving big loads a lot easier.  

2. Capable off-road 

Once you’ve gotten to your campsite, you’ll have no problem exploring the four-wheel drive trails in the 2017 Nissan Titan XD. Four-wheel drive is available on every trim. But for the best off-road performance, choose the Pro-4X trim, which comes standard with four-wheel drive, off-road shocks, a limited-slip rear differential, hill-descent control, skid plates, and more.  

3. Comfortable interior  

When you’re setting out for a grand adventure, you want everyone to be comfortable, and they will be in the 2017 Nissan Titan XD. The SL trim and higher come with leather seats that are heated in front, and a premium audio system. The Platinum Reserve trim takes comfort up a notch, with heated seats throughout, ventilated front seats, and an available rear entertainment system that will keep kids entertained on long drives.  

4. Ready to work 

Maybe you’re looking for a workhorse instead of a show pony. The 2017 Nissan Titan XD can be that too, making it a great work truck. The base S trim features easy-to-clean vinyl upholstery. With the available 5L turbo diesel engine, the 2017 Nissan Titan XD can haul up to 2,910 when properly equipped, so there’s no job too big.  

5. Plenty of storage 

Jobs and adventures both go more smoothly when you can be organized, which is easy in the 2017 Nissan Titan XD thanks to many available storage and cargo options. A locking interior cargo box under the rear seat lets you keep valuables secure. In the bed (available in 6.5 and eight-foot lengths) bed rails, a 12-volt outlet, and a cargo bed light make staying organized easy, even after the sun has set.
