“This, my friends, is a truck.†That’s AutoWeek espousing the virtues of the 2017 Nissan Titan in their website overview. It’s not difficult to understand why they’re so enamored—this pickup is a wonderful performer in its class. Between the brakes, the suspension, and the engine, you’ll find yourself asking the same thing they did: “What more do I need?â€
AutoWeek describes the 2017 Nissan Titan as having brakes with a “nice, mechanical†feel with sensational stopping power. The tall 18-inch tires on this beast can handle any pothole or curb, while the suspension is pleasantly bouncy in the manner you’d expect from a traditional truck. Of course, all-wheel drive is here, ensuring you can handle the backroads as well as you can the highway.
This Titan also benefits from the power of a supercharged 5.6L V8 engine. It doesn’t come close to falling short on performance—there are 390 horses and 394-lb.-ft of torque to pull from. And although it can haul tail down the road with no issue, you’ll still get a very reasonable EPA-estimated average MPG of 21 highway.
