by Gerhard Horn When you visit Nissan USA's website and click on the Nissan Titan tab, you're greeted with a bold statement. This, according to Nissan, is the full-size pickup with the most standard power, technology, and safety features in its class. So why does it struggle to post anywhere near the same sales figures as its rivals? During the height of the pandemic, the Ford F-Series still managed to sell 787,422 F-Series trucks in the USA. During that same time, Nissan managed to sell just 26,441 Titans. And don't go thinking it's patriotism, as the Toyota Tundra managed to sell 109,203 units. Nissan had high hopes for the heavily-facelifted 2020 Titan, but it did not deliver, not even with 400 horsepower as standard and a towing capacity of up to 11,040 lbs. Looking at the spec sheet, it's difficult to see why the Titan pickup keeps on struggling. It's class-leading in so many ways, yet it remains the class dunce when it comes to sales. This anomaly requires further investigation.Read in this review

Since the Titan received a significant overhaul in 2020, Nissan hasn't fundamentally changed the truck. However, there are a couple of new features for the 2022 model year. Whereas the comprehensive Convenience Package was an option on the SV trim, it's now standard. This package includes features like front/rear parking sensors, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a power driver's seat. For the base S, a spray-on bedliner and tow hitch are now standard fare. Finally, the SL trim has been discontinued, leaving just four primary trims.Pros and Cons

Most pickup owners know the quirks of the traditional body-on-frame driving experience. They shake and shimmy over big bumps, which they frequently encounter due to how they are used. Still, some manufacturers have managed to hide this inherent flaw quite well. The Ram 1500 is a good example. The Nissan is adequate rather than superb. With that in mind, 2020's extensive revamp feels like a missed opportunity. The steering is unacceptably heavy at slow speeds, but it does get better once on the move. There are no special driving modes, apart from a Tow Mode. We applaud Nissan for including a useful driving mode and not going the "Sport" route. A part-time four-wheel-drive system is standard on the 4x4 models. It's an odd cost-saving, considering most of its rivals have a full-time system. A full-time 4WD can still be used in low grip situations on tarmac, while a part-time system can't.

There are two major issues to consider here. The full-size pickup truck segment is one of the most ruthless segments in the automotive industry, and existing owners have already pledged their allegiance to the truck currently standing in their garage. If it's a Ram, Ford, or Chevrolet, you can forget about it. These guys already have the outline of their chosen truck tattooed on their buttocks, right next to the outline of the state they live in. The Titan offers a powerful V8, an extensive infotainment system, and many driver assistance features as standard. Does it matter? The Titan is better than the previous-gen Tundra, yet the Toyota outsold the Nissan by a vast margin. Nissan can keep on pointing at all the class-leading features as much as they want, but the Toyota fanboys will keep buying the Tundra, and there's a brand-new one here now. The second issue has less to do with buying habits and everything to do with the truck. Throughout a test drive of the Titan, there wasn't one particular segment where it stood out. It doesn't have that one thing you can point to while loudly proclaiming, "this is why my Titan is better than your F-150." It's not a bad car, nor is it exceptional. The Nissan Titan truck is stuck somewhere in the middle, caught in the shadows of the existing, beloved rivals in this segment.Check out other Nissan Titan Styles

Toyota CarBuzz2022 Nissan Titan vs Toyota Tundra
Toyota has introduced a completely new Tundra that immediately exposes some of the Nissan's shortcomings. One of the main differences is that Toyota has ditched its old V8 for a more efficient twin-turbocharged V6 that is nearly as powerful but more torque-rich than the Nissan's V8. The new Tundra also provides the option of a brilliant hybrid model wit 437 hp and 583 lb-ft. This also allows the Tundra to tow more, yet it can manage better gas mileage. Besides that, the new Tundra has a much more composed ride than before and comes with a top Capstone trim that is way more luxurious than anything the Titan can manage. The Titan is still a solid pickup but the newer Tundra simply outshines it.See Toyota Tundra Review
