The S

The entry-level S comes with a 5.6-liter V-8 engine and your choice of a crew cab, single cab, or extended cab. This powertrain produces 390 horsepower and 394 pound-feet of torque and works with a seven-speed automatic transmission. The S has 18-inch steel wheels, LED lights in the bed, and a lockable tailgate. Inside, there is a push-button ignition, power windows and locks, and a 5-inch color display equipped with NissanConnect.

The SV

Stepping up to the SV adds alloy wheels; a chrome grille, bumpers, and door handles; and power-adjustable side mirrors. Front tow hooks and trailer sway control both come standard on the 4×4 model. Inside, the floor in the SV is carpeted, and the seats have stain-resistant cloth upholstery. This trim offers the option to upgrade to the Chrome package, which adds 20-inch chrome wheels, a chrome grille, and chrome exhaust tips.

The Pro-4X

The Pro-4X is the off-road-themed model. It comes with four-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, and Bilstein shocks. This trim increases off-road performance with a lockable rear differential and hill descent control, and it adds skid plates, a receiver hitch, and a wiring-harness connector. It also adds some advanced safety features, including blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and it includes technology upgrades such as a 7-inch touch-screen display and voice controls. The Pro-4X also comes with a navigation system and a 12-volt power outlet.

The SL

The SL is only available in the crew cab, and in addition to the upgrades from the Pro-4X, it adds 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, running boards, and a power-sliding rear window. In the bed, the SL has a Utili-Track system for the bed rails that includes movable tie-down cleats, and in the cabin, it adds driver’s seat memory functions, heated front seats, and leather upholstery. Upgrades to the SL’s technology include a high-end 12-speaker stereo and NissanConnect emergency telematics services. Added safety features for the SL include both front and rear parking sensors.

The Platinum Reserve

The Platinum Reserve adds even more features, including dark chrome trim and unique wheels. It upgrades the leather upholstery and adds not only gorgeous wood and chrome accents in the cabin but also ventilation to the front seats and heat to the rear seats. The Platinum Reserve also comes with a 360-degree parking camera and the option to add a rear-seat entertainment system or the Off-Road package for all-terrain tires.

Each of the Titan trims offers something unique. If you just need the basics, the S will most certainly do the trick, and if you want off-road capabilities, the Pro-4X is what you need. The trims in the middle offer a balance of convenience features and technology. Call or stop by to chat with the friendly staff at Taylor’s AutoMax and find your perfect match today!
