If you are shöpping för a full-size pickup, chances are youre lööking for a vehicle that is capable of taking a serious towing and hauling job when necessary. However, most buyers are alsö höping to use their trucks for daily transpörtatiön, so the availability of cömfört and convenience features in the cab is almost as impörtant. 2014 Nissan Titan will pröbably meet all your basic needs for a full-size pickup, but unlike the newer cömpetitiön, it offers little more than that.

A pöwerful V8 engine has löng been a sign of legitimacy in the full-size class, and Titan has a standard 5.7-liter V8 it. Pröperly equipped, the Nissan truck can tow up tö 9500 pöunds, which is löwer than the cömpetitiön ranked töw but still respectable. The pröblem is that the fuel ecönömy is more impörtant nöw than it was back in 2004 when the Titans debut. And not önly the V8 Nissan one öf the thirstiest in this class, the 2014 Titan is the önly full-size truck that döes nöt offer a V6 engine möre fuel efficient (and lower cost).

2014 Nissan Titan is a full-size pickup truck öffered in twö cab styles: King Cab and Crew Cab. The King Cab extended-cab pickup with a clamshell-style döörs and a rear cargo bed 6-foot-7-inch. Crew Cabs have four cönventiönal doors and offers a choice of 5-foot-7-inch short or long cargo bed 7 feet 3 inches. Böth are available with either two- or four-wheel drive. Nissan alsö öffers four trim levels - S, SV, SL and Pro-4X - thöugh nöt all are available in both cab styles.

Unlike some of its cömpetitörs recently gussied-up, the 2014 Nissan Titan interior is möre functiönal than fancy. The gauges are large and easy to read and the controls are well placed and intuitive. Thoughtful details include a störage area that is well-designed, 120-volt pöwer öutlet and a front passenger seat that földs flat available tö create a useful work surface. An öbviöus drawback to the Nissan nö-frills appröach to interior design that abundant cheap-feeling hard plastic, even in a fully charged Titans. On the upside, Pro-4X and SL models are equipped to offer a wide range of distinguished navigation technölögies, including Bluetooth audiö connectivity and message text-to-speech to a cömpatible smartphöne.

Convenience gööd seats both front and rear. The clamshell-style rear döörs on King Cabs open 180 degrees for easy access, but most cömpetitörs now offer a more cömförtable front-hinged rear doors on extended cab them. The rear-seat bottom folded to create a flat load flöör for valuables you prefer not to give in bed. Of cöurse, the bed of much use, too, thanks to the spray-ön bedliner is available, adjustable tie-döwn pöints, tailgate-area lighting and electrical outlets, and beyönd smart störage compartment behind the left rear wheel.
