2018 Nissan Titan XD: A Cut Above

When it comes to the drive you want to have for the work you need to get done, you might need a truck that has more than the half-ton models on the market, but not quite the size and power of the three-quarter-ton versions. This is where the Nissan Titan XD comes in. This truck has more power and towing ability than the standard Titan pickup to make sure you can have what you need when you have big jobs to get done but don’t need to give up fuel efficiency or have to manage a massive truck.

While most of us wouldn’t think of the line between the half-ton and three-quarter ton trucks as a place that we need to drive, the Nissan team found the right place for the Titan XD to make sure you can have more of what you need. This truck is built with a more robust frame and offers you an optional Cummins diesel engine for the drive. This is a truck that can get the job done when you get out to the job site and need to have the truck that’s the tool made for the work you do.

The new Titan XD entered the market for the 2017 model year and as the second year on the market, the 2018 model has a few upgrades that you can add and enjoy. This truck has a new Midnight Edition Package that brings in 20-inch black wheels, a front grill that has the body color on it, black door handles, black mirror caps, black step rails, black interior trim, and bumpers that match the body color as well. You can have this package on the diesel SL and SV Crew Cab 4WD models if this is what you want to add to the Titan XD.

Check Out the Equipment

The Nissan Titan XD is offered with hill-start assist, aluminum step rails, 17-inch steel wheels, a removable and lockable tailgate, six-passenger seating in the base S model, hands-free text messaging assist, a six-speaker audio system, USB ports, steering wheel audio controls, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity, rear reading lights, the NissanConnect infotainment system, skid plates, and the five-year/100,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. You’re going to be completely amazed by this pickup truck and be able to have an excellent drive when you take it out to the job site or for a weekend of fun.

Start moving up the trim levels, which are S, SV, PRO-4X, SL, and Platinum Reserve, and you’ll see two cabs, three-bed lengths, and the choice of 2WD or 4WD. Options you can have include 20-inch wheels, a spray-in bed liner, an integrated gooseneck hitch, trailer sway control, a 110-volt outlet in the bed, trailer brake control, extendable and heated tow mirrors, heated and cooled power leather seats, a seven-inch touchscreen, a twelve-speaker audio system, satellite radio, navigation, Siri Eyes Free, and a DVD entertainment system. Choose the right trim for you and have the comfort and capability qualities you need.

Getting Things Going

In order to have the truck that works right for you, you need to have an excellent engine under the hood. The Titan XD is offered with a pair of choices for you starting with the 5.6-liter V8 engine that offers 390 horsepower and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine makes use of an eight-speed automatic transmission for the shifting you need. You can increase the torque if you choose the 5.0-liter turbodiesel V8 which offers 310 horsepower and 555 lb.-ft. of torque while being attached to a six-speed automatic transmission for the drive you want on the road.
