Every 2021 Titan comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield, a suite of advanced driver assist systems, and America’s Best Truck Warranty, featuring bumper to bumper coverage of 5 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first includes basic and powertrain coverage. The 2021 Titan is powered by Nissan’s 5.6 liter Endurance V8 gasoline engine rated at 400 horsepower and 413 lb ft of torque. Both horsepower and torque ratings are best in class for standard powertrains.
The engine is mated with a 9 speed automatic transmission with a large final gear ratio of 3.692:1 providing smooth, fast acceleration. The 9 speed gear range also means excellent coverage for optimal power for both standing starts and confident highway passing. The engine features Nissan's VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) technology, which combines hydraulic controlled variable valve timing and electronically controlled variable valve lift on the intake side to provide high performance and crisp response.
The Endurance V8 also features Direct Injection Gas (DIG) technology, which provides better wide open throttle performance and improved fuel economy and emissions performance versus a non direct injection system by reducing engine knock, improving combustion stability and offering precise injection control. Every Titan also utilizes a durable chassis design, starting with the fully boxed, full length ladder frame. The front suspension is a double wishbone design, while a rigid rear axle suspension utilizes hefty leaf springs and leaf bushings, along with twin tube shock absorbers.
Titan’s 8.0 inch center area display is the largest standard screen in the class9, while the available Integrated Command Center with 9.0 inch touchscreen features WXGA resolution higher than HD. It serves as the gateway to the Titan’s next generation connectivity that includes standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The internal Wi Fi router allows passengers to stream their favorite content. Up to seven devices can be connected. ■
