The best of both worlds
Not sure whether you want a heavy-duty pickup or a half-ton truck? The 2018 Nissan Titan XD allows you to have the best of both worlds, by giving the power and performance of a heavy-duty truck in a relatively small package. The truck comes with two engine options: the standard V8 gas engine or an available turbodiesel V8. The five trims make it easy to find a 2018 Nissan Titan XD that’s right for you, whether you’re looking for a work truck, an off-roader, or a luxurious cruiser to tow your camper or boat.
