The Titan 4×2 has been a truck that comes at you as a large beast of burden that’s ready to take on the world and pull a mountain down or create another ocean. This truck is large and square and while it stays in its lane by competing with the full size trucks of the other automakers, its sibling in the lineup, the XD reaches into the heavy duty truck segment to be a bit of a competitor with some of the other heavy duty trucks that we love to drive.

The 4×2 model is powered by the same 5.6-liter V8 that’s found in the XD but doesn’t try to reach beyond its limits. This engine is a carryover from the previous year but adds several additional items such as variable valve timing, direct fuel injection and an improved compression ratio. Previously this engine was rated at 317 horsepower but now with these improvements the truck can make a full 390 horsepower and gives you 394 lb.-ft. of torque to make this a powerful truck for speed, towing and payload capacity. This truck certainly has the muscle to get the work done that you need accomplished.

When you step up inside the cab of this truck you will see a straightforward setup that’s easy to enjoy. The dashboard is large and the seats are thick and comfortable. The control center of this truck is impressive but easy to use and makes the ride enjoyable as you head down the road. In true modern fashion, the Titan is a push button starting truck that roars to life and lets you know it’s ready to take on any task you have ready for it to perform. Put it in gear and get ready for a great ride down the road.

When you think Titan you certainly think power and this truck has the power you need to get the job done. The payload of the beast is a full 1590 pounds to give you plenty of carry capacity. You can also enjoy the tow rating of the truck which comes in at 9390 pounds to allow you to pull a large boat or heavy duty trailer full of gear and materials along behind you. This truck is one that easily makes a huge difference when you need a lot of work done as it’s made to get right to work for you.

On the road you will feel this truck doing the work it’s meant to do, but that’s expected. The steering and suspension are made for a truck and the Titan makes no bones about being anything but a large truck for you to drive. You won’t feel like you’re in a car, but you will still have a comfortable ride in the seats and be able to know when to make adjustments when steering on and off the road. The Nissan Titan 4×2 is a fantastic truck when you need work done.
