In the world of full-size pickups, there is a split
between the light-duty trucks ubiquitous heavy-duty pickups that can pull the
moon if you could lasso it. However, there is one truck that expertly hauls the
line between the two, i.e., the new 2018 Nissan Titan XD work truck.
The Titan XD is in a distinct space, able to tow
more and carry a more massive payload than a half-ton truck.
The standard Titan XD, but not much as a sturdy
heavy-duty haul. No matter how you survey it, the 2018 Titan XD is a highly
capable vehicle sold in a variety of trims, from the reasonably necessary 2018
Nissan Titan XD S work truck to the deluxe Platinum Reserve variant.
Those who enjoy traversing the deserted areas would
do well to imply the Pro-4X trims, the alone off-road-oriented trim in truck
class equipped with a diesel engine segment.
Even though it doesn't boast the perfect outlandish
tow ratings of other heavy-duty trucks- The Titan XD is noticeable considering
if you don't need to pull heavy equipment on a regular basis.
The 2018 Nissan Titan XD is a full-size pickup that
sits considerably between the light-and heavy-duty versions of its rivals.
Being equipped with five trims and they are
·
2018 Nissan Titan S
·
2018 Nissan Titan SV
·
2018 Nissan Titan
Pro-4X
·
2018 Nissan Titan SL
·
2018 Nissan Titan
Platinum Reserve
The modestly priced S is essential but better
equipped than entry-level rivals. The SV adds up a few extra aspects for a
modest price while the SL is notably more expensive with a ton of extra
richness. The Platinum Reserve variant sits at the top of the trim ladder with
a lavishly appointed cabin within. The Pro-4X stands apart with tons and tons
of mechanical enhancements for off-road dominance.
The off-road-spotlight Pro-4X model steps up with
conventional 18-inch alloy wheels, four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case,
Bilstein shocks, all-terrain tires, a lockable rear differential, skid hill descent
control, and skid plates.
It is also equipped with foglights, a spray-in
Bedliner, automatic wipers, keyless entry and ignition, automatic headlights,
dual-zone automatic climate control, unique cloth upholstery, a leather-wrapped
steering wheel, rear air vents, storage space under the rear seats, navigation,
blind-spot monitoring, Siri Eyes Free and NissanConnect mobile app integration
and dual front captain's chairs with adjustable lumbar support and a 120-volt
outlet, a 7-inch touchscreen.
At the summit of the Titan XD lineup is the Platinum
Reserve trim that goes all-in with plethora cooled front seats, heated rear
seats, and a surround-view camera system, chrome trim, premium leather
upholstery, wood trim, a heated steering wheel.
The SL trim does without the Pro-4X's off-road gear,
building on the list of features with 20-inch alloy wheels, running boards, a
cargo-management rail system and a 120-volt power outlet in the bed, LED bed
lighting, a power-sliding rear window, auto-dimming mirrors, front and rear
parking sensors, remote ignition, a power-adjustable steering wheel, heated
front seats, leather upholstery, a 12-speaker Rockford Fosgate audio system
with expanded entertainment apps, and NissanConnect emergency telematics.
Heavy-duty trucks rank raw
towing capability over passenger comfort and the Titan XD is no exemption.
Thankfully, the Bilstein shocks that make the Pro-4X so good off-road also give
it a better ride on pavement.
Aside from the mechanical upgrades, stepping up to
the Pro-4X also adds a ton of luxury features. Even more, updates are available
through option packages. Unless you need a basic work truck — in which case,
the base S is more cost-effective — we think the Pro-4X is the way to go.
