Since our 2016 long-term Nissan Titan XD diesel dissatisfied us, we’ve been recently looking forward to Nissan to boost its not-quite-heavy-duty pickup truck. For 2020, even though, Nissan will minimize generating the Titan XD using the 5.0-liter Cummins diesel V-8 in support of provide 5.6-liter V-8. Using the refresh, Nissan is wanting to help make the XD more desired giving it an outside and inside makeover, an up to date powertrain with a little power increase, fresh technology and security features, and improved towing and payload capacities set alongside the half-ton Titan.
The Titan XD comes with an all-new encounter for 2020. In advance, unique grille styles and tailgate designs distinguish each cut level. Perhaps most obviously is the Professional-4X, which includes a strong all-black grille having an all-new Lava Crimson Nissan badge. The XD’s snazzy up to date headlights, that have a Titan logo design engraved included, remind us of these around the Nissan Titan Warrior idea; unfortunately, they're only on the very best three trim amounts. In back again, the Professional-4X functions an all-black dark tailgate using the reddish Nissan badge, as well as the Platinum Reserve includes a Satin Chromium tailgate. Four outside colors may also be exclusive towards the Titan XD: Crimson Alert, Baja Surprise, Cardinal Crimson Metallic, and Super Dark.
Up to date Powertrain, but FORGET ABOUT Diesel
Nissan offers discontinued the Cummins diesel motor because of insufficient consumer attention. The gas-powered 5.6-liter V-8 will be upgraded to create 400 hp (up 10) and 413 lb-ft of torque (up 19), along with a nine-speed automatic transmitting replaces the prior seven-speed device. Nissan claims a more substantial final gear provides increased torque in the tires for faster acceleration.
Stronger Bones
The brand new Titan XD will be solely offered like a 4x4 team cab, that is what Nissan states consumers would like. The XD is nearly 15 ins longer, having a 151.6-in . wheelbase, and three inches taller compared to the regular Titan. All XD versions get yourself a 6.5-feet cargo area, which now features LED "surround" lighting. An accessories package having a sport bar having a light bar at the top and Lava Red-accented actions could become obtainable through sellers for Professional-4X models.
Smarter Towing and Tech
Nissan informed us that this 2020 Titan XD's towing capability and optimum payload numbers will not be released until the following month. In the mean time, a Nissan spokesperson informed C/D that this 2020 XD could have about 1700 lbs more towing capability and 900 lbs greater payload capability than the normal 2020 Titan. Towing helps include a truck brake controller, truck sway handle (TSC), a tow and haul setting with downhill velocity control, along with a trailer light check out program. A rearview keep track of with trailer manuals and Nissan's around-view keep track of with front, part, and rear video cameras are also obtainable. An on-screen notification and caution chime detects shifting items and alerts the car owner. Nissan says that this Titan XD can be the only pickup truck to come from your factory with a typical gooseneck hitch, on SV versions and above, that's installed onto the framework of the pickup truck.
The 2020 Titan XD's standard-equipment listing is much enhanced, duplicating the gear list on the standard Titan, like an 8.0-in . touchscreen. Every design gets Security Shield 360, which include automated crisis braking with pedestrian recognition, automated high-beams, blind-spot supervising, back cross-traffic alert, lane-departure caution, and rear computerized emergency braking. Extra options add a 360-degree video camera and adaptive luxury cruise control.
Nissan hasn't introduced pricing but stated the brand new XD continues on sale in earlier 2020.
Nissan's half-ton-and afterward some Titan XD pickup has carried on with as long as its can remember in a condition of vulnerability. Who does it contend with, a stacked full-sizer or a HD master? What's the market for a truck that costs more and tows not exactly a Ford F-150? Furthermore, discussing that, why not simply purchase American like millions do each year? These inquiries overloaded the old truck like endless stones in the bed—the Titan was the most noticeably terrible selling pickup in the nation a year ago at 31,514, an incredible one percent of the market—a much littler portion of which were XDs. Indeed, even Honda moved a bigger number of Ridgelines than that.
In any case, 2020 brings an entirely weighty mid-cycle invigorate to the Nissan Titan. With it comes another concentration from item organizers to give the Titan XD its own way of life as a solitary design truck, simpler to consider as a precisely broad "substantial" trim of the Titan as opposed to a different model like a F-150 versus F-250. Not any more decision of bed lengths and taxi estimates, not any more fascinating 5.0-liter Cummins diesel V8 alternative, and not any more extraordinary drivetrains—the 2020 Titan XD is accessible as a group taxi truck with a 6.5-foot bed, gas V8, and four-wheel drive.

You can in any case apply the standard alternative groupings (base S to rich Platinum Reserve) to the XD to choose how agreeable you need to be, however the truck is the truck, and it's worked to pull and take. In a game that is about numbers, the Titan XD's fortified edge, more grounded suspension segments, thicker back pivot, and bigger brakes give it a higher max tow rating (11,000 pounds) and payload limit (2,450 lbs) than the ordinary rendition. They likewise push its gross vehicle weight sufficiently high to absolve it from EPA efficiency testing. Advantageous.
But then—when the present 2500-level pickups from Ford, GM, and Ram can tow north of 20,000 pounds, does the Titan XD still intrigue? Truly and no. It actually has its conspicuous weaknesses in the HD world being tied so intensely to the normal half-ton truck. However, there's a case to be made that it's what the Titan ought to have been all along.
