Overview

Part of the midsize pickup truck segment, the 2021 Nissan Titan Crew Cab competes with the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab, Ford F-150 Crew Cab, and RAM 1500 Crew Cab. A base price of MSRP of $41,375 gets you a 5.6-liter V8 and a 9-speed automatic transmission. Despite the price going up to $58,135, this single powertrain is found in all 5 trims. This engine produces 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque, achieving a 0-60 MPH of 7.3 seconds, and is offered as both rear-wheel-drive as well as 4-wheel-drive. The Nissan Titan Crew Cab offers a single 5.5 feet cab with a payload capacity of 1,650 pounds. It also offers a healthy capacity of 9,310 pounds.

Buying Advice

The 2021 Nissan Titan Crew Cab offers a standout package among full-size pickup trucks. It comes equipped with a strong V8 engine as standard and offers impressive ride quality suitable for all terrains. However, it does not offer alternate engine choices or isn’t as capable as some of the competitors. Overall, it is a great family pickup truck and for that purpose, the Titan would surely meet your requirements.
