Nissan Titan Lineup Fleshed Out With New Single Cab Models

Nissan has revealed its new Titan and Titan XD Single Cab models.

The Nissan Titan was often criticized for only being offered as a crew cab, something that Nissan is eager to change with its redesigned lineup of Titan pickup trucks which will be offered with three different cab styles: the already available Crew Cab, upcoming King Cab and the freshly announced Single Cab.

The Single Cab will be offered with an eight-foot bed and a choice of engines depending on which truck is picked. Customers that opt the for the Titan XD Single Cab will be able to get the Cummins 5.0-liter V8 diesel under the hood with 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque. These buyers will also get an extra foot of wheelbase, a thicker frame and larger brakes.

The 5.6-liter gas-powered V8 will be available on both Titan and Titan XD Single Cab models, putting out 390 hp and 394 lb-ft of torque. Eventually a V6 will join the lineup for non-XD Titans.

Five trim levels are offered in total on the Titan, though Single Cab models will only come in the lowest two, S and SV, no doubt a play to attract workers and tradesmen to the truck.

Thanks to the new Single Cab models, the Titan has a new maximum towing capacity: 12,640 pounds. This is on the Titan XD Single Cab with the 5.0-liter diesel, while with the gasoline engine, this truck can pull 11,590 lbs. Maximum payload is rated at 2,910 lbs for the gas-powered model and 2,420 for the diesel.

Standard Titan Single Cab models will be able to tow a maximum of 9,730 lbs and haul 1,930 lbs of payload.

Both Single Cab models are expected to be on sale this fall.
