The engine and transmission are great, it has all the necessary driver's aids for making a commute a bit easier and it looks pretty good, especially in Pro-4X guise. The 2020 Nissan Titan isn't a bad truck - far from it, in fact. Even my two-wheel-drive SV King Cab tester starts at $39,990, but adding the Utility Package requires you select the Tow and Convenience packages as well, so I'm up to $46,505 including destination. That's a lot of money, not just on its own, but especially when you consider I can get a similarly optioned Ram 1500 Rebel for a bit less, or spend just a tad more to get a base Ford F-150 Raptor that'll run circles around the Pro-4X (what can I say, I like off-road trucks). Besides, it's nowhere near as robust as the Uconnect system in the Ram 1500, with its optional 12-inch touchscreen. Nissan has made a few tweaks to its in-dash technology as of late and the system is organized better than it was in the past, but the screen is sometimes lazy to respond to inputs.

Regardless of screen size, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as is satellite radio. Given the size of the truck and the mirrors, it's easy to miss those warning lights - especially on the passenger side.įor infotainment tech, Nissan Connect now runs on a standard 8-inch touchscreen, but my tester has the optional 9-inch screen with Wi-Fi.
Placed on the top outside corner of the side mirrors, they're pretty tiny. I wish the blind-spot indicators were a little bigger, however. No torque is applied to the steering wheel, just a little buzz to bring my attention back to the road. I like that the lane-departure warning is just that - a warning. The adaptive cruise control can do its thing in slow-speed traffic, bringing the truck to a complete stop when necessary and stay engaged for a brief second or two. On the whole, these driving aids work as advertised. This 5.6-liter V8 is the best thing about the 2020 Titan. Best of all, a throaty V8 rumble comes into the cabin without much wind or road noise to drown it out. It never hunts around for the right gear and is happy to upshift or downshift multiple steps at a time. The transmission is a gem, probably the quickest-shifting automatic in the class.

In fact, Nissan says the Titan is a full second quicker from 50 to 70 mph than a 2019 model. A higher final drive ratio improves acceleration, which is especially noticeable in the engine's midrange. Compared to 2019, this 5.6-liter engine has more power and torque all the way around - provided you fill it with premium fuel. Honestly, the powerplant is the best thing about the Titan, pushing out 400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque. No matter which version you choose, every Titan is powered by the same engine: a naturally aspirated, 5.6-liter V8. You can buy the Titan with two- or four-wheel drive, except the Pro-4X, which is 4WD only. The S, SV and Pro-4X models are offered in King Cab and Crew Cab body styles, while the SL and Platinum Reserve only get the latter. Nissan simplified the Titan's lineup for 2020, but with competitors available in myriad configurations, this only hurts the truck's appeal.
