Overview

Part of the fullsize pickup truck segment, the 2011 Nissan Titan CrewCab competes with the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab, the RAM 1500 Crew Cab, and the GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab. A base price of MSRP $29,960 gets you a 5.6 L V8 engine and a 5-speed automatic transmission. Despite the price going up to $40,210, this single powertrain is found in all 4 trims. This engine produces 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque, achieving a 0-60 of 7.2 seconds, and is offered as both RWD and 4WD. The Nissan Titan CrewCab offers a 5.7 feet and 7.3 feet cargo bed, with 1,651 pounds and 1,900 pounds of payload capacity respectively. It also offers a healthy towing capacity of 9,300 pounds.

Buying Advice

With 4 different trims on offer, we believe that the mid-level SV trims hold the most value of the lot, including 18-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, a sliding rear window, keyless entry, a seven-pin wiring harness connector, receiver hitch, and a lot more. However, if you want something more capable and off-road focused, the PRO-4X comes in handy, adding some off-road upgrades.
