The redesigned 2017 Titan comes with a smooth and punchy gas 5.6-liter V8 that is mated to a slick and responsive seven-speed automatic transmission. A V6 engine is also available. The ride is more tolerable than the heavy-duty XD's, and handling is less clumsy. The roomy cabin has a variety of handy storage places, and the rear tailgate is damped--a nice touch. A suite of safety and driver-assistance features is offered, including Nissan's surround-view camera system, blind-spot warning, and moving-object detection. When properly equipped, the Titan tows 9,730 pounds. All 2019 models get a new 7-inch touch-screen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. There’s also a new rear-door alert system to remind drivers to check the back seat after the vehicle is parked. A substantially refreshed Titan debuted for 2020. Updates included a nine-speed automatic that replaced the previous seven-speed, a 10-hp horsepower boost to 400 hp, for the 5.6-liter V8; an available 9-inch touch-screen infotainment system (a 7-inch screen is standard); and a host of standard safety features such as automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic warning, and lane departure warning.
