The Titan continues to live in the shadow of its rivals.
Although it received a comprehensive facelift for the 2020 model year, the Nissan Titan continues to post lower sales figures than rivals like the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500. The arrival of an all-new Toyota Tundra won't help the Nissan's cause either.
In November last year, it was rumored that the Titan may soon be killed off, no doubt a consequence of slow sales. While its future remains uncertain, the Titan will soldier on for the 2022 model year and Nissan has now shared pricing for the truck. Depending on the trim, the price has increased by up to $2,580 despite the range receiving no major updates.
The cheapest model is the Titan S King Cab 4x2 which begins at $38,010, excluding a destination and handling charge of $1,695. This represents an increase of $1,060 over last year's equivalent model. Other King Cabs will cost $41,270 for the S 4x4, $43,340 for the SV 4x2, and $46,600 for the SV 4x4. The King Cab SV 4x4 is now $2,580 pricier than before.
The more comfortable Crew Cab now begins at $39,780 in S guise, a small $100 increase over last year's model. That's nearly $2,000 more than the all-new Toyota Tundra in SR CrewMax form. Other Titan Crew Cabs are the S 4x4 at $42,940, SV 4x2 ($43,260), SV 4x4 ($46,420), Pro-4X 4x4 ($50,900), Platinum Reserve 4x2 ($56,700) and Platinum Reserve 4x4 ($59,980). In general, Crew Cab prices have not increased by more than $300.
Nissan has made a few minor changes to the lineup this year, but nothing that we think will significantly increase interest in the pickup. The Pro-4X is no longer available in the King Cab body style. Besides this, the mid-range SL trim that was available for 2021 has been discontinued. On the base S, a trailer hitch is now standard equipment. As before, the Titan XD Crew Cab is available as a more capable version of the truck. Its price ranges between $45,580 and $63,040.
All models continue to use Nissan's proven 5.6-liter V8 engine with 400 horsepower. While the Titan makes sense as a work truck, we'd turn to one of its rivals if you're looking for something with more efficient powertrains and better rear-seat space.
