The 2020 TITAN features the most standard power, safety features and technology in its class

The family of 2020 Nissan TITAN full-size pickups receives an extensive redesign for the 2020 model year, featuring substantial powertrain updates and unique styling across trim levels. TITAN now also offers standard Nissan Safety Shield 360 across all grade levels. All told, the new 2020 TITAN offers the most standard power, safety features and technology in its class1. Nissan continues to provide America’s Best Truck Warranty5 for the 2020 TITAN, with 5-year/100,000 mile bumper-to-bumper coverage.

Best-in-class standard horsepower and torque, new 9-speed transmission
Every 2020 TITAN is powered by a 5.6-liter Endurance® V8 gasoline engine rated at 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. Both standard horsepower and torque ratings are the best-in-class2 (premium fuel required).

The engine is mated with a new 9-speed automatic transmission with a larger final gear ratio of 3.692:1– providing more torque at the wheels in a given gear and smoother and faster acceleration. For example, 50 mph to 70 mph acceleration is estimated to have been improved by almost a full second (compared to the previous TITAN equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission). The larger range also means better range coverage for optimal power on standing starts and at cruising speeds. The powertrain feel is more linear through the gears.

The engine utilizes Nissan’s VVEL (Variable Valve Event & 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.

The 2020 TITAN is available in a choice of 4×2 or 4×4 drive configurations. Nissan TITAN 4×4 models feature a transfer case designed to ensure maximum power distribution in every gear. It distributes torque to both ends and provides four-wheel drive when added traction is needed on snow, ice, sand, mud, dirt, water or gravel.

Durable off-road performance has also been emphasized, with features such as Hill Descent Control (PRO-4X only), Hill Start Assist, Brake Limited-Slip Differential (BLSD) and available electronic locking rear differential (PRO-4X).

The 2020 TITAN features an enhanced Off Road Gauge that displays the vehicle’s tire angle, relative pitch and roll angles. Without using a gyroscope, a new method was developed to calculate the vehicle’s orientation using accelerometer data and calculating the vehicle’s G-force. Nissan’s new gauge is expected to be the most accurate (versus competition) at higher speeds.

Every 2020 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. Hefty stabilizer bars are utilized front and rear. PRO-4X models feature Bilstein mono-tube off-road shocks. Hydraulic cab-mounts help isolate occupants from the chassis.

The 2020 TITAN rides on a choice of 18-inch steel, newly designed 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels or 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels – depending on grade or option level. Tire choices include 265/75R18, 265/70R18, 275/60R20 all-season or 275/70R18 all-terrain tires.

Braking is provided by a 4-wheel disc system with 13.78 x 1.2-inch front/13.58 x 0.8-inch rear ventilated discs front and rear with hydraulic power assist. The high brake fluid pressure generated by an electric pump assists brake pedal force for a confident feel. Responsive steering is provided by a rack-and-pinion steering system.

The 2020 TITAN again offers confident available towing, utility features and driving aids, including an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller, Trailer Sway Control (TSC), Tow/Haul Mode with Downhill Speed Control and a Trailer Light Check system that allows one-person hook-up operation – including checking turn signals, brake lights and running/clearance lights. It offers an available maximum towing capacity of 9,370 pounds6 and maximum payload capacity of 1,680 pounds7 when properly equipped.

First-class interior with available high-resolution 9″ touchscreen
The sense of commanding technology continues into the redesigned TITAN interior, which combines first-class accommodations with a sense of crafted detailing and premium finishes.

TITAN’s standard 8.0-inch center area display is the largest standard screen in the class, while the available Integrated Command Center with 9.0-inch touchscreen (standard on PRO-4X, SL and Platinum Reserve) features WXGA resolution – higher than HD. It serves as the gateway to the 2020 TITAN’s enhanced next-generation connectivity that includes standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The internal Wi-Fi router allows rear seat passengers to stream their favorite content (Wi-Fi data subscription required, sold separately). Up to seven devices can be connected.

A 7.0-inch programmable driver information display is nearly three inches larger than most competitors’ displays and helps ensure that customers can access meaningful vehicle information easily and clearly.

TITAN Crew Cab model occupants are treated to a new available Dual Panel Panoramic Moonroof, the first offered on TITAN, measuring over three-feet square.

Standard with NissanConnect® in the 2020 TITAN is Nissan Concierge, which provides owners 24-hour access to a live assistants at the push of a button from inside the vehicle, or outside via email, text of the NissanConnect Services App. Nissan Concierge assistants can help with a range of tasks from directions to restaurant reservations, appointment scheduling, wake up calls and even personal shopping.

The next-generation NissanConnect® allows over-the-air (OTA) software updates, new safety and security features, HD Traffic and Google Places/Search10. Also available on the 2020 TITAN is NissanConnect Services, a suite of convenience and security features that provide assistance when owners need it most – including remote access features and emergency response services. NissanConnect Services can be accessed from inside the vehicle, on a computer, on a smartphone or smartwatch app and with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

TITAN’s Fender® Premium Audio System returns for a second year. It includes 12 speakers with Crew Cab and 10 speakers on King Cab. The Fender® Bassman Subwoofer helps drive energetic, powerful bass response with ear-pleasing precision. The system’s 485-watt, 9-channel amplifier with Panasonic’s proprietary Acoustic Motion Control™, which renders the reverberation and ambience of original recordings with stunning realism.

Every 2020 TITAN includes front and rear outboard Zero Gravity seats that help maximize posture positioning for enhanced comfort during long distance driving. Heating and cooling front seats are available. Heated front and rear seats are available in both cloth and leather trim levels.

The 2020 TITAN’s first-class interior accommodations include specially selected seat and trim materials and finishers for each grade level. Interior storage has also been enhanced, including a new, innovative flexible smartphone holder/charging system. Elsewhere, additional assist grips allow for more assistance getting in and out of the vehicle.

Standard Nissan Safety Shield 360 with class-exclusive standard Rear Automatic Braking
The 2020 TITAN is a showcase for Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies, starting with standard Nissan Safety Shield 360 – a suite of six advanced driver-assist systems. Safety Shield 360 includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), High Beam Assist (HBA) and class-exclusive standard Rear Automatic Braking (RAB)3.

The new TITAN also features a number of other available advanced technologies – Intelligent Forward Collision Warning (I-FCW), Intelligent Around View® Monitor9 (I-AVM), Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), Intelligent Driver Alertness (I-DA)11 and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR). Nissan’s innovative Rear Door Alert (RDA)12 is standard on all grade levels. And, the 2020 TITAN now includes eight air bags (versus the previous six) and four seat belt pretensioners (versus the previous two).

The available Intelligent Around View® Monitor (I-AVM)9 provides a composite “bird’s eye” view of the surrounding area from front, rear and side cameras to help with parking and pulling in and out of tight spaces and even off-roading at low speeds. The system also includes Moving Object Detection (MOD), which helps alert the driver to detected moving objects around the vehicle via an on-screen notification and warning chime.
