Strong V8 with many options
The 2021 Nissan Titan XD comes with a powerful 400-hp 5.6L V8 engine. The 2021 Titan XD no longer offers a diesel option, but the gas V8 can hold its own, providing plenty of power for towing boats, campers, or work equipment. All that strength comes in a relatively small package, with two cabin sizes and two bed lengths. Lots of driver assist features come standard, even on the base model, while luxury touches like heated and ventilated front seats and leather upholstery are available.

5 reasons to buy the 2021 Nissan Titan XD
1. Capable towing
The 2021 Nissan Titan XD makes it easy to tow boats, horse trailers, or construction equipment thanks to a combination of power and finesse. With the standard 5.6L V8 engine, the 2021 Titan XD can tow up to 10,880 pounds when properly equipped. Available features including a gooseneck towing hitch, trailer brake controller, towing mirrors, and a surround-view camera for lining up the hitch make moving large loads easier.
2. Standard driver assist
When you’re working hard, it’s good to know that technology is on your side. All 2021 Nissan Titan XDs come with a suite of standard driver assist features. You’ll have emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and more. Standard trailer-sway control helps keep your trailer stable on windy days, while available adaptive cruise control makes highway driving easier.
3. Off-road trim
Off-grid camping or a day of trail riding are no problem with the 2021 Nissan Titan XD.

4. Luxury interior
If you’re equally at home in the woods and the corporate jungle, you’ll appreciate that the 2021 Nissan Titan XD comes with a refined interior. Heated leather ventilated seats and a panoramic sunroof are available on many trims. Remote is available too, and a great option if you live in a cold climate.
