Along with the new SE Value Truck Package and added safety features, other
revisions for 2010 include the addition of a new SE Utility Package; a receiver
hitch, 7-pin wiring harness and trailer brake pre-wiring are now standard on
PRO-4X and available as part of SE Value Truck Package (previously part of Max
Utility Package); power-adjustable pedals are now part of SE Premium Utility
Package; the SE Driver's Convenience Package and Max Utility Package are
combined as new Premium Utility Package; Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System now
comes standard on PRO-4X; the Rockford Fosgate audio is added to the previous
Max Utility Package to create new Premium Utility Package; an Easy-Clean vinyl
floor is added to King Cab XE models; and a new chrome "PRO-4X" badge added to
PRO-4X tailgate. Two new exterior colors have also been added - Blue Steel and
Navy Blue.
Titan again offers innovative features such as Wide-Open rear
doors (King Cab) that open 168 degrees for nearly unlimited interior access, a
utility bed that includes an segment-exclusive factory-applied spray-on bedliner,
a Utili-track tie-down system that provides ultimate cargo hauling flexibility
and an integrated, lockable bedside storage compartment.
Though first and
foremost designed for hard work and hard play, an array of technology and
comfort features are available, including Bluetooth? Hands-free Phone System,
XM? Satellite Radio (XM subscription required, sold separately), Nissan
Navigation system, Rockford Fosgate audio system, heated front seats,
leather-appointed seats and DVD entertainment center.
A Stylish
Exterior and High Utility Bed
The Titan exterior, which was refreshed
just two years ago, continues to offer a distinctive, powerful front end and cab
appearance along with an innovative utility bed. Titan King Cab offers a
138.9-inch wheelbase and 6-foot 6-inch bed, while the Titan Crew Cab features a
138.9-inch wheelbase and 5-foot 7-inch bed. The Crew Cab SE Long Wheelbase model
features a 159.5-inch wheelbase and a 7-foot 3-inch bed, nearly 20 inches longer
than the standard wheelbase Crew Cab bed and the longest in class. All Titans
feature a 28-gallon fuel tank, providing an excellent driving range.
Titan King Cab models also feature Wide-Open rear doors, which open 168 degrees
for greatly improved rear cab access. Key to the door's design is a hefty,
two-stage hinge with four axis of rotation. The doors open first to a
conventional 85 degrees, then can be swung the rest of the way for easy loading
and unloading of cargo or passengers.
Titan's available spray-on bedliner
(standard on LE models) helps prevent scratch damage and corrosion to the bed
and inner tailgate surface. Thinner than drop-in bedliners or typical
aftermarket spray-on applications, the Titan bedliner also maximizes bed volume.
It is the first offered by any original equipment manufacturer and still the
only one available in segment. It is covered by the Nissan warranty.
Also
available is the Utili-track tie-down channel system, with five special "C"
cross-section rails that are mounted in the bed (two channels in the bed floor,
and one each on the bed side rails and the bed header panel). Titan is the only
truck to offer five channels. Removable utility cleats (rated at 200 pounds)
slide into the channels, providing a wide range of attaching points for cargo
tie-down. The channels are open at the rear of the bed, allowing the cleats to
be completely removed when not in use for easy cleaning.
Nissan offers an
extensive line of bed accessories, such as dividers, extenders, sliding cargo
trays and modular storage units, along with bike and kayak racks and other
accessories. As required for a working pickup, the Titan bed also carries
4x8-foot plywood sheets easily between the wheel housings. Titan's bed includes
an available dampened tailgate assist that aids in the effort to open and close
the tailgate. Titan also features an available (SE models only) innovative
bedside storage compartment located behind the rear driver's side wheel (SE
models only).
The bedside storage bin is designed to hold common utility
items such as work gloves, chains, rope, road flares, first aid kit or a hitch
ball. The compartment is double-sealed to help prevent the intrusion of water
and dust and uses the Titan ignition key for unlocking.
A Powerful,
Refined Engine with Outstanding Towing Power
The 2010 Nissan Titan
again utilizes a rugged, fully boxed high-strength all-steel F-Alpha platform
for enhanced crash performance and long-term durability. Every Titan comes
equipped with Nissan's advanced Endurance V8 as standard equipment. The
all-aluminum 5.6-liter V8 engine is rated at 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of
torque and utilizes an aluminum block with cast iron cylinder liners, forged
steel crankshaft, microfinished crankshaft and camshaft, graphite-coated pistons,
6-bolt main bearing caps, and Super Silent single-stage timing chain.
Titan is available with Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) technology as a no-cost
option (available in certain regions only). Equipped with a common fuel tank
designed to run on varying blends of gasoline with ethanol (up to E85) or other
fuel, Titan FFV offers an alternative to conventional gasoline.
Titan's
standard 5-speed automatic transmission is designed especially for heavy-duty
truck use, with emphasis on serious towing and smooth shift quality. A
transmission temperature gauge is included in the meter cluster on SE, PRO-4X
and LE models. An Active Brake Limited-Slip Differential (2-wheel or 4-wheel)
has been added as standard equipment for 2010.
Titan 4WD models adapt an
advanced shift-on-the-fly 4-wheel drive system with 2WD/4HI/4LO modes with
electronic control part-time transfer case. Titan features a maximum towing
capacity of 9,500 pounds for King Cab and 9,400 pounds for Crew Cab (when
properly equipped) - as much as some 3/4-ton pickups.
Titan's responsive
handling is a product of its all-steel double wishbone front suspension design
and overslung leaf spring (dual rate) rear suspension with shackles mounted
along the frame sides to increase departure angle.
Power-assisted
rack-and-pinion steering is standard, along with 4-wheel disc brakes with Bosch
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) and
Brake Assist (BA).
Titan offers standard 18-inch wheels on XE, SE and
PRO-4X models, while 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels are standard on the Titan LE.
Crew Cab SE models are offered with optional 18-inch chrome-clad aluminum-alloy
wheels and 20-inch chrome aluminum-alloy wheels are optional on LE models.
A Comfortable, Highly Refined Interior
Titan's interior
features refined styling and two interior configurations - a bench seat with
column shifter (seats six) or two front bucket seats with a large center console
and gated floor shifter (seats five). The bench seat is standard on XE and SE
models, while captains seats are standard on the PRO-4X and LE models and
available as part of the new Value Truck Package on SE models.
The bucket
seat-equipped Titan's center console can hold a variety of beverage containers,
including a 1-liter bottle. A 12-volt adapter is equipped in the storage area
and can be used as a power source for a phone or other electronic devices. The
console offers a variety of storage choices, with size adjusted by simply
removing or adding dividers. The console's storage box can also accommodate
hanging file folders and contains holders for maps, paper, pens and business
cards on the console lid.
Among the Titan's many interior features are
standard flip-up 60/40 rear seat cushions for added cargo space and flexibility,
with available grocery hooks on the bottom of the seat cushions. The rear floor
was designed to be nearly flat for maximum cargo utility.
The Crew Cab's
rear seat is large and relaxing, with a full 24 degrees of seat back angle,
helping passengers take full advantage of the Crew Cab Titan's 126 cubic feet of
available space, including front and rear seat leg room of 41.8 inches and 40.4
inches, respectively. Both King Cab and Crew Cab Titans' rear compartments offer
ample rear storage, including door storage bins and rear door bottle holders in
the armrests and available power front windows with one-touch auto up/down
function (not available on King Cab XE models). All Titan Crew Cab models
feature a standard power down/up rear bed access cab window.
An available
overhead console system gives passengers more storage options. The console
houses rear audio controls and also contains storage bins for both front and
rear passengers for items like sunglasses, CDs, cell phone, PDA or a small
tissue box.
Titan features an available fold-flat front passenger seat
that allows extra versatility and can also be used as a working area. Also
available are power-adjustable front seats (8-way driver's seat, 4-way
passenger's seat), a driver's seat memory system and heated seats. Titan also
offers available power-adjustable foot pedals with memory.
Crew Cab
PRO-4X and LE models offer an optional rear-seat DVD Entertainment System with
fold-down 8.0-inch monitor.
Safety and Security
The 2010
Titan includes a long list of safety equipment, including Nissan's Advanced Air
Bag System (AABS) with dual stage front supplemental air bags with seat belt
sensors and a front passenger occupant classification sensor; front seat belts
with adjustable upper anchors, pretensioners and load limiters; front seat Active
Head Restraints; three-point rear passenger seat belts; and LATCH (Lower Anchors
and Tethers for CHildren) child seat anchor system. Front seat-mounted
side-impact supplemental air bags and roof-mounted supplemental curtain air
bags, which help provide improved side-impact and rollover protection for
outboard passengers, are now standard equipment on all models.
Driver and
passenger confidence is accentuated with an extensive list of
vehicle-incorporated safety features including a Zone Body construction with
front and rear structure crumple zones, an energy absorbing steering column,
hood buckling creases with safety stops, knee bolsters and special body side
reinforcements and a shift interlock system. Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and
Traction Control System (TCS) have also been added as standard for 2010.
