The full-size pickup. VK56 V8 power and a brawny, honest character.
The Nissan Titan is the brand full-size pickup, powered by the VK56 V8 and built to take on the domestic truck establishment. While it never matched the Detroit trucks in sales, it earned respect for its strong V8, comfortable ride, and honest, straightforward design. The Titan offered a heavier-duty Titan XD variant slotting between half-ton and three-quarter-ton trucks, plus a Cummins diesel option for a period. The Titan was discontinued after the 2024 model year, ending Nissan full-size truck effort. On WhipJury, Titan submissions favor V8 and PRO-4X off-road builds.
