The Nissan Titan XD offers some of the effortless towing and hauling of the larger, more expensive heavy-duty trucks, including an available maximum towing capacity of 12,710 pounds and maximum payload capacity of 2,990 pounds, yet with fuel-efficiency and affordability closer to a half-ton pickup.

The 2019 Titan XD lineup includes Crew Cab, King Cab and Single Cab body styles, two bed lengths, choice of a powerful Cummins 5.0-liter V8 turbodiesel or Nissan 5.6-liter Endurance V8 engines, 4x4 or 4x2 drivelines and up to five well-equipped grade levels.

For the 2019 model year, Titan XD features a range of enhancements, starting with a new Fender Premium Audio System. Other changes for 2019 include: A new 7.0-inch touchscreen audio/IT display with NissanConnect; New Rear Door Alert; new body-color outer grille with gloss metallic black inner treatment; new integrated gooseneck hitch with a plug inside the bed for even greater ease of towing; and two new exterior paint colors: Midnight Pine Metallic and Moab Sunset Metallic.

Utilizing a durable, proven chassis design from Nissan Commercial Vehicles, the fully boxed, full-length ladder frame is extensively reinforced and strengthened for use with the Titan XD with added stiffness, vertical and lateral bending, and torsional rigidity. It also features an extended 151.6-inch wheelbase -- about 20 inches longer than Titan models.

To maximize stability, handling and ride comfort, Titan XD uses a heavy-duty, highly stable suspension design. The double-wishbone with stabilizer bar front suspension is reinforced and tuned for hard use, and the rigid rear axle suspension utilizes hefty leaf springs and leaf bushings, along with twin-tube shock absorbers.
