2020 Nissan Titan Review: A Welcome Update

Auto123 reviews the 2020 Nissan Titan truck.

Like much of Nissan's current product line, the Titan was in need of renewal. The outgoing version dated back to 2016, and while four years doesn't make the model an old man, in the pickup world, especially in North America, you can't afford to be late. For 2020, then, the new Titan has been delivered unto us, and while the changes are discreet, they're welcome.

The outside
One thing hasn't changed: the Titan still looks as imposing as ever. In terms of the impression it makes, it has no reason to feel inadequate versus rivals like the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Noteworthy on the 2020 version is its new exterior design with new daytime running lights consisting of four right-angle bars with LED lighting. These are standard on the PRO-4X - our test model - and Platinum Reserve versions. The new headlights are 120 percent brighter in low beam mode than previous versions.

In addition to being able to decide between six different versions of the Titan 2020, buyers can now choose their front grille as soon as it leaves the factory. In fact, each version comes with a new front bumper with a new grille. The Platinum Reserve version's snout is somewhat discreet, with a satin-finish chrome grille, but the TITAN PRO-4X's is mucho striking, with a black grille around the red Nissan badge. The tow hooks on the rugged PRO-4X feature the same accent colour.
