2022 Nissan Titan comes standard with V8 power and a comfy interior

The 2022 Nissan Titan full-size pickup has a standard V8 engine and a comfortable cabin. Two cab sizes are available, a smaller King Cab with a 6-foot 6-inch bed, or a larger crew-cab with a 5-foot 7-inch bed. The Titan’s cargo capacity of around 1,650 pounds, and its towing capacity of around 9,000 pounds that’s enough for most jobs. Various factors may impact towing & payload capacity, including weight of passengers, cargo, and options/accessories. After receiving significant updates for the 2020 model year, the 2022 Titan is mostly unchanged, with the loss of the mid-level SL trim the only noteworthy change. The simplified lineup, now confined to S, SV, Pro-4X and Platinum Reserve trims, means buyers must choose the more expensive off-road ready Pro-4X or upscale Platinum Reserve to access certain features, like a 12-speaker Fender audio system.

The Titan succeeds on its ultimate mission of providing adequate payload and towing capacity as an alternative to other, more popular full-size trucks. However, the 2022 Nissan Titan comes up short against the likes of the class-leading Ford F-150, Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado due to its limited variety of engines, cab and bed sizes, and features.

5 reasons to buy the 2022 Nissan Titan

What We Like

Comfort: The 2022 Nissan Titan rides smoothly over flat pavement, and still maintains its composure over cracks and bumps in the road. It's a comfortable ride made better by front seats that are cushy and supportive. The automatic climate control quickly heats or cools the cabin.

Interior: This is a familiar truck interior, with a traditional column-mounted shift lever and clearly labeled large buttons well within reach. The door handles are huge, and it's easy to climb in and out of the Titan. There's a high, commanding view of the road — taller drivers may actually wish the seat lowered a bit more — and a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel helps with finding a comfortable position. The rear seats on both King and Crew Cabs come up short in roominess compared to competitors, and large blind spots make it harder to see out of the back.

Technology: A big thumbs up to Nissan for making its suite of advanced driver assist features standard equipment. The adaptive cruise control smoothly manages changes in speed, even when other vehicles drift in and out of your lane. The NissanConnect app provides a suite of paid services, which along with a downloadable app includes a live on-call concierge who can troubleshoot tech problems or send directions straight into your vehicle. The nine-inch touchscreen that comes on most Titans provides crisp and clear graphics, and Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto smartphone connectivity is standard.

What Needs Improvement

Personality: While the Nissan Titan gets most of the important truck stuff right, Nissan hasn’t given truck buyers a compelling reason to pick it instead of its competitors, which have largely figured out how to stand out from the crowd in some way. It’s competent, but facing competition like the Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado with their multiple body and bed configurations and engines, or even the Toyota Tundra with its hybrid drivetrain, little about the Titan stands out.
