2015 Nissan Titan Full-Size Pickup Combines Smart Design, Rugged Construction and No Nonsense Performance
The powerful full-size 2015 Nissan Titan continues to offer a unique combination of style, innovation and excellent value – including a range of body, bed and drivetrain configurations designed to fit a variety of buyer needs from a durable business tool to a versatile family adventurer.
For 2015, Titan is again offered in King Cab and Crew Cab body styles with a choice of 4x4 and 4x2 drive configurations and in four well-equipped trim levels – S, SV, PRO-4X and SL. Titan is also available as a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) designed to run on E85 Ethanol.
Enhancements for the new model year include revised content for the SV Value Truck Package, SV Utility Package, SV Premium Package, PRO-4X Premium Utility Package and PRO-4X Luxury Package.
Other changes include revised interior door panel design and materials; a driver's seat power adjustable lumbar support is added to Captain Chair models; Titan S grade receives revised interior color availability; and there are two new exterior colors – Artic Blue Metallic and Magnetic Black.
As in previous years, Titan features a range of innovations, including the Utili-track™ cargo-carrying system, available durable spray-on bedliner, lockable bedside storage compartment and Wide-Open rear doors (King Cab).
The 2015 Titan is built on Nissan's rugged pickup platform, featuring a powerful 5.6-liter DOHC Endurance V8 rated at 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft torque and a standard 5-speed automatic transmission. Titan has a maximum towing capacity of up to 9,500 pounds for King Cab and 9,400 pounds for Crew Cab (when properly equipped).
While Titan is first and foremost designed for hard work and hard play, an array of technology and comfort features are available, including Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio (SiriusXM subscription required, sold separately), NissanConnectSM with Navigation system, Rockford Fosgate audio system, heated front seats, leather-appointed seating and a DVD entertainment center with 8.0-inch screen.
The NissanConnectSM with Navigation and Mobile Apps system is equipped with innovative features like 5.8-inch color touch-screen display, Enhanced Voice Recognition for navigation and audio, SiriusXM Traffic, SiriusXM Travel Link™ (SiriusXM subscription required, sold separately), Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, Streaming audio via Bluetooth®, Hands-free Text Messaging Assistant and USB connection port.
A Generous Bed with Utili-Track™Bed Channel System
The Titan exterior is anchored by a distinctive, powerful front end and cab appearance, and an innovative utility bed design. The tailgate features an aerodynamic spoiler and step rails are standard on SV and SL models.
Titan King Cab offers a 139.8-inch wheelbase and 79.1-inch bed, while the Titan Crew Cab features a 139.8-inch wheelbase and 67.3-inch bed. Titan King Cab models also feature Wide-Open rear doors, which open 168 degrees for easy rear cab access. Key to the door's design is a hefty, two-stage hinge with four axis of rotation. The doors open first to a conventional 85 degrees, then can be swung the rest of the way for easy loading and unloading of cargo or passengers.
Titan's available spray-on bedliner (standard on SL models) helps prevent scratch damage and corrosion to the bed and inner tailgate surface. Thinner than drop-in bedliners or typical aftermarket spray-on applications, the Titan bedliner also maximizes bed volume.
Also available is the Utili-track™ Bed Channel System, with five special 'C' cross-section rails that are mounted in the bed (two channels in the bed floor, and one each on the bed side rails and the bed header panel). Titan is the only truck to offer five channels. Removable heavy-duty utility cleats (rated at 200 pounds) slide into the channels, providing a wide range of attachment points for tying down cargo. The channels are open at the rear of the bed, allowing the cleats to be completely removed when not in use for easy cleaning. To further maximize Titan's utility, Nissan offers an extensive line of bed accessories, including dividers, extenders, sliding cargo trays, modular storage units, bike and kayak racks and other accessories.
As required for a working pickup, the Titan bed carries 4x8-foot plywood sheets between the wheel housings. Titan's bed includes an available dampened tailgate assist that aids in the effort to open and close the tailgate. Titan also features an available innovative bedside storage compartment located behind the rear driver's side wheel (SV, PRO-4X and SL models). The bedside storage bin is designed to hold common utility items such as work gloves, chains, rope, road flares, first aid kit or a hitch ball. The compartment is double-sealed to help prevent the intrusion of water and dust and uses the Titan ignition key for unlocking.
A Powerful, Refined Engine with Outstanding Towing Power
The 2015 Nissan Titan utilizes a rugged, fully boxed high-strength all-steel platform for crash performance and long-term durability. Every Titan comes equipped with Nissan's advanced Endurance V8 as standard equipment. The all-aluminum 5.6-liter V8 engine is rated at 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque and utilizes an aluminum block with cast iron cylinder liners, forged steel crankshaft, microfinished crankshaft and camshaft, graphite-coated pistons, 6-bolt main bearing caps and super silent single-stage timing chain. Titan is available with Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) technology as a no-cost option (available in certain regions only). Equipped with a common fuel tank designed to run on varying blends of gasoline with ethanol (up to E85), Titan FFV offers an alternative to conventional gasoline. All Titans feature a 28-gallon fuel tank, providing an excellent driving range.
Titan's standard 5-speed automatic transmission is designed especially for truck use, with emphasis on serious towing and smooth shift quality. A transmission temperature gauge is included in the meter cluster on SV, PRO-4X and SL models. An Active Brake Limited-Slip Differential (2-wheel or 4-wheel) is standard on both 4x2 and 4x4 models.
Titan 4x4 models adapt an advanced shift-on-the-fly 4-wheel drive system with 2WD/4HI/4LO modes with electronic control part-time transfer case.
Titan features a maximum towing capacity of 9,500 pounds for King Cab and 9,400 pounds for Crew Cab (when properly equipped) – as much as some 3/4-ton pickups.
Titan's responsive handling is a product of its all-steel double wishbone front suspension design and overslung leaf spring (dual rate) rear suspension with shackles mounted along the frame sides to increase departure angle. Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering is standard, along with 4-wheel disc brakes with Bosch Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist.
Titan offers styled-steel 18-inch wheels on S models, with 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels standard on SV models (optional on Titan S). PRO-4X models feature dark finish off-road style 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, while 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels are standard on the Titan SL. Crew Cab SV models are offered with optional 18-inch chrome-clad aluminum-alloy wheels or 20-inch SL aluminum-alloy wheels with Dark Hyper Silver finish. SL models are also available with 20-inch chrome-plated aluminum-alloy wheels.
A Comfortable, Highly Refined Interior
Titan's interior features refined styling and two interior configurations – a bench seat with column shifter (seats six) or two front bucket seats with a large center console and gated floor shifter (seats five). The bench seat is standard on S and SV models, while captains seats are standard on the PRO-4X and SL models and available as part of the SV Value Truck Package (SV models).
The center console on Titans equipped with bucket seats can hold a variety of beverage containers, including a one-liter bottle. A 12-volt adapter is equipped in the back of the center console and can be used as a power source for a phone or other electronic devices. The console offers a variety of storage choices, with size adjusted by simply removing or adding dividers. The console's storage box can also accommodate hanging file folders and contains holders for maps, paper, pens and business cards on the console lid. Also available among Titan's many interior features are standard flip-up 60/40 rear seat cushions for added cargo space and flexibility – with available grocery hooks on the bottom of the seat cushions. The rear floor is designed to be nearly flat for maximum cargo utility.
The Crew Cab's rear seat is large and relaxing, with a full 24 degrees of seat back angle, helping passengers take full advantage of the Crew Cab Titan's 125.6 cubic feet of available space, including front and rear seat leg room of 41.8 inches and 40.4 inches, respectively.
Both King Cab and Crew Cab Titans' rear compartments offer ample rear storage, including door storage bins and rear door bottle holders in the armrests and available power front windows with one-touch auto up/down function (not available on King Cab S models). All Titan Crew Cab models feature a standard power down/up rear bed access cab window. An available overhead console system gives passengers more storage options. The console contains storage bins for both front and rear passengers for items like sunglasses, CDs, cell phone, PDA or a small tissue box.
Titan features an available fold-flat front passenger seat that allows extra versatility and can also be used as a working area. Also available are power-adjustable front seats (8-way driver's seat, 4-way passenger's seat), a driver's seat memory system and heated seats. Titan also offers available power-adjustable foot pedals with memory.
Crew Cab PRO-4X and SL models offer an optional rear-seat DVD Entertainment System with fold-down eight-inch monitor.
