If you are looking to split the difference between the light-duty and heavy-duty truck segments, you’ll find the perfect “tweener†with a 2017 Nissan Titan XD S. According to the Car Connection, this preowned pickup offers more hauling and towing capability than the Ram 1500, but it won’t feel like overkill, which you may find with other heavy-duty trucks.
Â
Under the hood, the 2017 Titan XD is bolstered by a 5.6-liter Endurance V8 engine, which throws 390 horsepower and 394 lb-ft of torque. With this combination, the rig’s maximum payload is rated at 2,910 lbs with a total towing limit of 11,590 lbs (when properly equipped), which is suitable for most commercial operators or for personal use. Mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission, the Titan XD commands the road with smooth downshift responses. It is complemented by responsive control from the recirculating ball-type high-capacity steering system with parallel rod steering linkage, which makes it easier to maneuver the truck under heavy axle weight and towing conditions.

Inside the cabin, the S trim boasts a comfortable interior with a supportive front manual 40/20/40-split bench seat with a flip-down center seat with armrest and dual cupholders – the perfect place to relax after a long day’s work. Premium sound is controlled via the 5.0-inch color display with AM/FM, CD player, AUX, USB, MP3 and six-speakers. There is also Bluetooth capabilities and a hands-free text messaging assistant, as well as NissanConnect with Mobile Apps to stay in touch with friends and colleagues.
