2022 Nissan Titan review

What We Like

Comfort: The 2022 Nissan Titan rides smoothly over flat pavement, and still maintains its composure over cracks and bumps in the road. It's a comfortable ride made better by front seats that are cushy and supportive. The automatic climate control quickly heats or cools the cabin.

Interior: This is a familiar truck interior, with a traditional column-mounted shift lever and clearly labeled large buttons well within reach. The door handles are huge, and it's easy to climb in and out of the Titan. There's a high, commanding view of the road — taller drivers may actually wish the seat lowered a bit more — and a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel helps with finding a comfortable position. The rear seats on both King and Crew Cabs come up short in roominess compared to competitors, and large blind spots make it harder to see out of the back.

Technology: A big thumbs up to Nissan for making its suite of advanced driver assist features standard equipment. The adaptive cruise control smoothly manages changes in speed, even when other vehicles drift in and out of your lane. The NissanConnect app provides a suite of paid services, which along with a downloadable app includes a live on-call concierge who can troubleshoot tech problems or send directions straight into your vehicle. The nine-inch touchscreen that comes on most Titans provides crisp and clear graphics, and Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ smartphone connectivity is standard.

What Needs Improvement

Personality: While the Nissan Titan gets most of the important truck stuff right, Nissan hasn’t given truck buyers a compelling reason to pick it instead of its competitors, which have largely figured out how to stand out from the crowd in some way. It’s competent, but facing competition like the Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado with their multiple body and bed configurations and engines, or even the Toyota Tundra with its hybrid drivetrain, little about the Titan stands out.
