Getting to Know the 2016 Nissan Titan

If you’re looking for a new truck this year, consider the 2016 Nissan Titan. This vehicle is redesigned for the model year and offers you a number of benefits and features you’re looking for. The Titan comes in five different trim models, allowing you to get exactly what you need.

Trim Models

The 2016 Nissan Titan offers five trims: S, SV, Pro-4X, SL, and Platinum Reserve. The majority of the features on these trims are the same; however, there are some differences. The S and SV trims come with 17-inch by 7.5-inch styled steel wheels, while the Pro-4X comes with 18-inch by 7.5-inch two-toned, dark machine-finished aluminum alloy wheels. The SL offers 20-inch by 7.5-inch machine finished aluminum alloy wheels, and the Platinum Reserve has 20-inch by 7.5-inch dark chrome-clad aluminum alloy wheels.

While all five trims come standard with overhead LED cargo bed lights, only the SL and Platinum Reserve come standard with LED under-rail bed lighting. Black bumpers are standard on the S model, while chrome bumpers are standard on the SV and SL. Gun metallic-painted bumpers are standard on the Pro-4X, while the Platinum Reserve has Titanium-painted bumpers.

Engine Performance

All the trims come standard with a Cummins 5.0-liter DOHC 32-valve V8 Turbo Diesel Engine. This engine offers 310 horsepower at 3,200 rpm. It also offers drivers 555 lb.-ft. of torque. This truck comes with a Aisin six-speed automatic transmission, and all models come with hill start assist.

Redesigned Features

The 2016 Nissan Titan allows those looking for a truck some new options. While it is only available as a crew cab, you can choose between two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The truck is technically in the half-ton pickup market; however, it has a heavier footprint, bigger size, and more powerful engine than its competitors. The Nissan Titan fills the gap between your typical half-ton truck and the more heavy-duty three-quarter ton class.

Capabilities

The 2016 Titan has a towing capacity of up to 12,314 pounds. This is just under the towing capacity of a heavy-duty diesel truck. In addition, the hauling capacity of up to 2,091 pounds is on par with other trucks in the half-ton category.

Interior Design

The interior design of this truck is new and improved over other Nissan trucks. The main design elements are big and beefy, while still offering substantial styling. There is a Tow-Haul button that allows for changing the transmission vectoring and sway control in the braking system. Plus, the placement of the integrated braking control is improved over previous models, where it was located in an awkward spot near the driver’s knee.

Head room in the front is 41 inches, while in the rear it is 40.4 inches. In the front, there are 41.8 inches of leg room and in the rear, passengers have 38.5 inches of leg room. Shoulder room in both the front and back are similar, with 63.3 inches in the front and 63.6 inches in the rear.

Entertainment Features

The 2016 Nissan Titan offers a number of entertainment and audio features. The S and SV models include an audio system with a 5-inch color display, while the other trims include a 7-inch color display. Sirius XM Satellite Radio is not available on the S model, but is standard on the other models. Bluetooth wireless data link and streaming capabilities are standard on all trim models. Six speakers come standard on the S, SV, and Pro-4X models, while 12 speakers including a subwoofer are standard on the SL and Platinum Reserve.

Safety Features

As with all new vehicles, the 2016 Nissan Titan has a number of standard and optional safety features. These features help keep you and your passengers stay safe on the road. Some of the standard features included in this truck are:

• Nissan Air Bag System with single-stage driver and front passenger supplemental air bags
• Roof-mounted curtain supplemental airbags for side-impact and rollover protection
• Vehicle Dynamic Control
• Traction control system
• Active brake limited slip
• Three-point ALR/ELR passenger seat belt system

• Hood buckling creases
• Tire pressure monitoring system
• Vehicle security system
• Nissan vehicle immobilizer system

In addition, there are several optional features, some of which include moving object detection and trailer sway control.
