When it comes to used Nissan trucks, there’s not too many options, but that’s what makes it great. When you get a used Nissan, you can expect a reliable truck that has been a fan favorite all over the world. We’ll be taking a closer look at some models you may find used, and what you can expect from them.
Key takeaways
- In this used Nissan truck breakdown, both trucks fill their own role, making them both desirable picks.
- If you want the trucks that can tow the most, the Titan is that. It can tow up to 9,660-pounds.
- The Frontier, while capable with a towing capacity of 6,720-pounds, it gets decent mileage at 20 MPG combined.
Titan
This was Nissan’s take on a full-size truck, while it has been discontinued, that’s not because it was a bad truck, but instead it was due to a shift in what the market wanted. In its last few years, the Titan could tow almost 10,000-pounds, at 9,660-pounds. This makes it more than enough for most drivers.
Being that this was discontinued pretty recently, you can still find recent models that come with some modern features. The most recent generation had a refresh for 2020, making models that came after it the ones to look for. This update brought a stronger engine, as well as two screen sizes. The smaller screen being 8-inches, while the larger one is 9-inches.
This year also brought the Zero Gravity seats that has the experts saying that it’s “outrageously comfy”. These experts are none other than Car and Driver, and they were giving the Titan its gold stars. They also said that “when it comes to cargo control, the Titan is one of the best in the biz.”
If you’re wanting a truck with an easy tailgate, it doesn’t get much easier than the Titan. This is thanks to it being spring assisted. There’s three bed lengths that you can find, there’s the 6.6-ft, 5.6-ft, and 8.2-ft. This makes it easy to not have to settle on a length that you don’t want.
No matter which model or trim you find from this time, they’ll all come with one engine option. This engine is the 5.6L V8 that could produce 400 horsepower, and 413 lb-ft of torque.
Frontier
Unlike the Titan, the Frontier remains in production, meaning that you’ll be able to find these even easier as time goes on. The most recent iteration of the Frontier was specifically made for North American drivers, keeping our needs in mind.
Unlike the larger Titan, this model only comes with two bed lengths. This is 5-ft and 6-ft, ultimately this makes for a better city driver, but it still is very capable. This is capable of having a max payload of 1610-pounds, but it can tow 6,720-pounds.
If you’re wanting the best one that you can get, then you’d want something after 2021. This is because it comes with more comfort and better features. For comfort, Nissan added “snazzier trim pieces and soft-touch surfaces that were much needed” as noted by Car and Driver. Much like the Titan, this model comes with two screen sizes, one being 8-inches, and the other being 9-inches.
Being that this truck is on the smaller side, it also comes with some decent gas mileage. The EPA has found that this truck can get 20 MPG combined, making it a good option for a city driver too.
Which is the best for me?
We think that the best truck model is the Frontier, but that doesn’t mean that the Titan is a bad option. The Frontier takes the edge thanks to it being more modern and as a smaller option, it is a perfect city driver.
