The Nissan Titan was one of only two full-sized pickup trucks to receive a â€œgoodâ€ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) when they conducted their latest tests on four-door pickups.

While the safety cages that are standard features on most cars and trucks do a great job in front-end collisions involving at least 40 percent of the front of the vehicle, when a smaller percentage of the front end is involved (25 percent), there have been issues, particularly with passenger-side collisions. The IIHS testing focused on passenger-side stats. These small overlap crashes involve just the front corner of the vehicle. IIHS has been rating driver-side front overlap collisions since 2012, but only began testing similar passenger-side fender-benders in 2017 to ensure equal protection for both sides.

There are four IIHS ratings: good, acceptable, marginal and poor.

"We commend Ford, Nissan and Ram for providing state-of-the-art crash protection for both drivers and front passengers of their large pickup models," says David Zuby, IIHS chief research officer.

Front-end collisions, especially if they involve fixed barriers like trees or hydro poles, tend to be more serious in pickups because of the weight of the vehicles.
