Final year for first-generation 2015 Nissan Titan

Nissan's Titan full-size pickup first debuted for the 2004 model year and its first generation lasted all the way to 2015. That's a long time for any vehicle to go without a full redesign. The 2015 Titan is available in S, SV and Pro-4X; the line-topping SL came only in the four-door Crew Cab configuration.

If a basic truck for basic work is all you need, the Titan may fit the bill. But there’s no denying that the 2015 Titan is sorely dated, lacking many of the features of more modern trucks, and trailing most of its competitors in terms of capability. The V8 provides good power, but fuel economy trails competitors. For the 2015 model, the King Cab was available with a 6-foot 7-inch bed, while the Crew Cab had a shorter 5-foot 7-inch bed. It should be noted that contemporary competitors like the Ford F-150, Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado offer a wider variety of cab and bed sizes.

What is new for the 2015 Nissan Titan?

  • Updated infotainment system with larger touchscreen
  • Enhanced safety features including adaptive cruise control
  • Improved fuel efficiency ratings
  • New engine options for better performance
  • Additional color choices available

What We Like

Power: The V8 doesn't have eye-popping power numbers, but the driving experience tells another story. The truck accelerates aggressively, with a very responsive gas pedal, and the V8 has little problem hauling a full load of passengers or heavy cargo in the bed.

Driving: The Titan’s brakes and steering response are sharp, on par with contemporary pickups, and they combine to help make the Titan a surprisingly nimble city dweller. The ride quality is acceptable as well, but contemporary competitors like the Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500 treat occupants to a noticeably superior ride.

What Needs Improvement

It’s Dated: Even against its contemporary peers, the Titan, originally introduced for the 2004 model year, hadn’t kept with the times. It fits the bill for those looking for a basic work truck that has good power and a roomy interior, but the new Titan introduced for the 2017 model year has more modern styling, a much improved interior, and more powerful and efficient powertrain.
