Titan comes equipped with a fully boxed ladder frame, outstanding off-road capability, beefy 33" off-road all-terrain tires, and available 4-wheel Limited Slip (ABLS) the only full-size to offer it.

  5.6-liter V8 Engine
The numbers are big. Take 305-horsepower and 379 lb-ft of torque. That's more than any other full-size truck engine, standard or optional,* with a full 90% kicking in below 2,500 rpm for power you'll have at your beck and call. Even more, 80% comes in at 1,000 rpm, putting it among the top of its class. But the story of Titan's V8 goes beyond brute strength. No pushrod relic, this engine is a double-overhead-cam beneficiary of Nissan's advanced engineering. An aluminum block and forged crankshaft offer exceptional strength, while keeping performance-robbing weight down. In addition to the easy-breathing DOHC layout, the high-flow intake ensures that every gulp of air counts. To help cut friction, the camshafts and crankshaft are microfinished, and the piston skirts have a slick coat of molybdenum, all so the engine can deliver more with less effort. And taking a cue from aviation technology, an electronic drive-by-wire throttle connects the brain, right foot, and throttle more quickly and efficiently than ever.

*Ward's large pick-up segment, under 8,500 GVWR, standard models starting below $45,000.
 
 
 
  5-speed Automatic Transmission (Column shifter)
Five (as opposed to four) speeds mean closer gear ratios that can take full advantage of Titan's massive low-end torque, as well as optimize fuel economy in higher gears. The Tow Mode holds lower gears longer, great when you have a heavy load. The column-mounted shifter features a manual mode switch that allows you to upshift or downshift.
 
 
 
  5-speed Automatic Transmission (Gated shifter)
Titan's 5-speed Automatic with Tow/Haul Mode also comes in a floor-mounted gated version for a sporty, precise shift feel. An additional benefit during hauling or towing, it lets you shift between 1st/2nd and 4th/5th with a quick slap right and left.
 
 
 
  4WD System
At the core of Titan's off-road capability is shift-on-the-fly 4-wheel drive, which lets you shift between 2WD and 4WD at the switch of a dial at speeds up to 60 mph. 4WD also includes a low-range 4-LO with reduced throttle sensitivity, for severe conditions that demand lots of control at a very low speed.
 
 
 
  Tow Package
What do you give a weekend warrior who already has every big toy he wants? The Tow Package, of course, which increases towing capacity to the maximum 9,500 lbs on the King Cab (9,400 lbs on the Crew Cab) and includes a lower final gear ratio (3.36), heavy-duty battery, extendable tow mirrors (on SE and LE only), automatic transmission temperature gauge, Class IV receiver hitch, additional 7-pin wiring harness, and trailer brake controller pre-wiring under the dash.
 
 
 
 
  Off-road Package
The whole idea here is to save you a trip to the aftermarket. First on the list is Titan 4x4's standard 4-wheel Limited Slip (ABLS), which offers phenomenal traction. Also included are Rancho® shock absorbers, a lower final drive gear ratio, massive P285/70R17 BF Goodrich® Rugged Trail® tires, 17" aluminum-alloy wheels, skid plates (on the oil pan, lower radiator, and transfer case), and fog lights.

  2- or 4-wheel Limited Slip (ABLS)
An ally in any kind of poor-traction scenario, 4-wheel Limited Slip (ABLS) applies braking force to a wheel that's losing traction while directing power to the wheels with a better grip. Titan is the only full-size truck to offer 4-wheel Limited Slip (ABLS).

See specifications for availability.
 
 
 
  Vehicle Dynamic Control
The available Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)* system is there to help keep you on your steered path. If your Titan should start to oversteer (fishtail) or understeer (plow forward), VDC will reduce engine power and/or apply braking pressure to specific wheels to help keep you on course.

*VDC cannot prevent accidents due to abrupt steering, carelessness, or dangerous driving techniques. Always drive safely.
 
 
 
  Fully Boxed Section Frame
Horsepower and torque are only half of the hauling and towing story. When it comes to heavy-duty use, backbone is just as critical. That's why Titan's is a reinforced steel ladder frame, with full-length box section rails (enclosed on all four sides, as opposed to 3-sided rails on some trucks). And for added durability and less flexing, all eight crossmembers are welded instead of riveted.
 
 
 
  Advanced Braking Technologies
Big power requires big brakes. Titan has huge 12.6" Bosch® disc brakes with 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to help you maintain steering ability when you're hitting the brakes hard. But there's even more to Titan's stopping power. Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) sends extra brake pressure to the rear whenever it senses additional weight, whether it's a full tank of gas or a fully loaded hitch. And Brake Assist (BA) can actually detect emergency braking and, if you're not braking hard enough, will help increase brake pressure.

  Dana® Axles
If the brakes are Bosch®, you can bet the axles are Dana® — heavy-duty front and rear — because there's no name like a good, familiar name.

  Rear suspension
Titan's is a solid rear axle for strength and durability, with variable-rate springs that allow for more comfort when the load's light, and more control when you're hauling something heavy. Wide-design long-leaf springs minimize lean during lateral maneuvers, for better handling and superior management of cargo loads and towing.
