What Do You Think of the 2020 Titan?

truck_newbie · March 18, 2020

I really like the look of the new 2020 Titan, especially the front of the Pro-4x. The tail end could probably use dual exhaust tips. It has a good 400hp 5.6 V8 engine which seems to strike a good balance between our 5.3 and 6.2. It also comes with a great 5yr/100k bumper-to-bumper warranty. I would have strongly considered this if it was available while i was truck shopping. Nissan probably offers good discounts too.

What are your thoughts on it? For those without brand allegiance, would you have considered this if it was available?

I think it's butt ugly.

I would have, and I did in 2018 and it's not because I liked it equally, more or less than the GM products but because as a fleet buyer I get HUGE discounts on Nissan products, in 2018 I would have been about 20k less for a comparably equipped truck, but I still wanted my Chevy and have no regrets buying it.

I would take any of the other full-size pickups first. And apparently I’m not alone because nobody ever buys a Titan.

It just doesn’t make a case for itself. I’m not saying that it’s a bad truck. I just think every other brand makes something that’s bigger, or more capable, or better looking, or better equipped, or a better value. It’s not all Nissan’s fault but selling at such low numbers does not give them a chance to stay competitive.

No foreign full size pickups for me.

The people that drive Titans couldn't get approved for anything else.

Those are fair points. I think they have really improved for this generation to try to capture some market value.

I'm probably also alone in the fact that i think it looks good.

The Bad: Ever dealt with Nissan Sales people? Ever bought Nissan OEM parts? Ever had to service a Nissan vehicle at their garage with Nissan Dealership price?

The Good: That will be the last Nissan anything you will own. After Coronavirus I can only hope this Titan thing is finally laid to rest!

Never owned a Nissan itself but i had the Infiniti Q50 for 4 years. Didn't have any issues with the sales people and i will go as far to say that my service experience whilst owning the Infiniti was better than anything I have had so far with the GMC. Maybe because Infiniti is considered near-luxury, it's different.

my buddy had a titan when they first came out and it was a decent looking truck, and drove well too.....than they got hideous!.....the front end looks a bit better but I don't know how in the world or who authorized and thought that last gen was gonna sell.....somebody actually got paid and they invested a lot of money for that design......incredible

I think they have a ways to go......just make it look normal, with good pkg

Looks are ok, Interior is ok at best ( but then again GM interior is whatever as well) I just like the GM interior space .

And to get the 400HP that its rated you need 91 . Overall they are solid trucks, have had a couple of buddies and no real issues. If they are offering a smoking deal , get whatever is better for your wallet. All trucks do the same .

So it comes down to what looks best and what is best deal

Or the people who wanted to not have to worry about random brake failures

While I'm not saying brake failure is OK in anyway , its hard to have perfect trucks when your selling 700-800k of them in a year . Compared to the Titan which dosent even sniff 50k sold in the entire year.
