The 2021 Nissan Titan XD is not precisely a light-duty or heavy-duty truck. It lies somewhere in between. This means that it cannot pull as much as its rivals in the segment, such as the Ford Super Duty. It is also not as refined as the half-ton pickups, such as the near luxurious Ram 1500. But the 2021 Nissan Titan XD gives more hauling and pulling power than the regular Nissan Titan. The 2021 Nissan Titan XD was once given with a Cummins diesel V8 engine and more than a single config, but the company now only offers it with a V8, a crew cab, and a four-wheel drive. This one-size-only lineup is not common among pickups but includes the most popular features. But the 2021 Nissan Titan XD is probably the least famous truck around. But that is because it tries to satisfy everyone versus trying to zone in on people who do not want the other alternatives.

 

Interior Build

 

The 2021 Nissan Titan XD has a practical but uninspired design for the dash that does not help stand out. The leather appointment in the car fancied up the interior. At the same time, the topmost trim has fancier open-pore wood trim and two-tone leather. The great zero gravity rear and front seats on the 2021 Nissan Titan XD steals the show with its great balance of comfort and support, especially on a lengthier road trip. The 2021 Nissan Titan XD is only available in the crew-cab configuration. It can hold the maximum number of carry-on-sized suitcases beneath the front seats in its class. The low lift-over height also assists when loading cargo into the bed. But the cargo boxes are among the tiniest in this set. The interior storage spaces for smaller materials are less useful than rival cars.

 

Utility

 

It may look a little odd to recommend the off-road trim Pro-4x, especially for people who do not want to explore the trails. But there is a good reason for it. This midgrade trim gives features that cost more on the lower trims. It also offers a broader selection of premium choices, so you can configure the 2021 Nissan Titan XD more precisely according to your requirement. And those off-road updates might come in handy somewhere in the future. The 2021 Nissan Titan XD has more than four available trim levels. All trims come in a single crew-cab config with more than a six-foot bed. A V8 gasoline engine coupled with a four-wheel drive and a nine-speed auto transmission.

 

Technological Changes

 

The 2021 Nissan Titan XD has a lot of carryover elements from the aging parts bin of the company. This makes it feel more dated than it actually is. This is truer of the infotainment system and the screen. The rear cross-traffic alert system and the blind-spot monitoring system are good. But more advanced safety features are not present. The audio system sounds good and is very easy to operate. The touchscreen is small and feels a lot behind because it lacks detail in the maps and lower-resolution graphics.

 

Driving Experience

 

The 2021 Nissan Titan XD is like a hearty draft horse when equipped with the diesel V8 engine. It is not very nimble or fast, but it can handle heavy lifting. But this does not translate into a hard ride. The 2021 Nissan Titan XD is compliant enough to drive daily.

 

Comfort Factor

 

The 2021 Nissan Titan XD is silent, has comfy seats, and a smooth ride. This gives it an edge over other heavy-duty trucks. It would be better for buyers to go for the usual wheels to maintain the ride quality rather than opt for the bigger tires and wheels.

 

Conclusion

 

The company has refreshed the 2021 Nissan Titan XD with a little more power, updated infotainment, more driver safety tech, and a new grille. There is nothing very wrong with the 2021 Nissan Titan XD. But its opponents have not stopped improving since the time it was introduced. They now give capabilities and features that make the big car a questionable value.
