The virtues of the crossover market are many - with hatchbacks, SUVs, and mini-vans delivering effortless comfort and ample cargo space. These gentle giants provide Seattle families with the everyday convenience they deserve; and theyâ€™re perfect for the highway.

They do not, however, offer all-terrain value - as a recent Car Question comparison proves.

According to Jalopnik, many of the marketâ€™s leading crossovers (such as the Ford Expedition, the Mazda CX-5, and the Toyota Sienna) feature body-on-frame constructions - branding them more similar to trucks than conventional sport utility vehicles. Because of this, the Car Question team recently tested these platforms against the 2017 Nissan Titan, wanting to gauge whether they could keep pace on the backroads.

They couldnâ€™t.

Jalopnik reports that every crossover failed to deliver the same performance ratios as the Titan - with Nissanâ€™s 5.0L V8 engine yielding seamless all-terrain power. Boasting 390 HP and 394 lb.-ft of torque, this truck scaled dunes and dirt paths with equal ease. A double-wishbone front suspension paired with available AWD, while the Vehicle Dynamic Control system maximized traction. 18-inch steel wheels rolled over every obstacle; a seven-speed automatic transmission offered crisp handling; and integrated electronic brake-force distribution provided balanced stoppage on even the steepest hills.

Unlike its SUV competitors, the 2017 Nissan Titan secured a flawless victory - showcasing why drivers must depend on half-ton power for their off-road adventures.
