What Is the Towing Capacity of the 2018 Nissan Titan?

 

The 2018 Nissan Titan is one of the most popular trucks around because of its dependability, performance, style, and comfort, but it’s biggest appeal with some owners comes down to that all-important number: towing capacity.

Sooner or later, every truck owner has to ask how much their truck can tow, and the Titan has an answer worthy of its name. We’ve broken down the Titan’s towing capacity based on each configuration, and then we compared it to the competition.

See for yourself what the 2018 Titan can do.

Nissan Titan Towing Capacities

Each Nissan Titan comes equipped with a 5.6L Endurance® V8 engine, which puts out 390 horsepower and 394 lb.-ft. of torque. Your Titan’s maximum towing capacity depends on how you configure it, though.

Specifically, how much the Titan tows depends on your cab choice and drivetrain.

Single cab

• 9,740 lb. (4×2)
• 9,470 lb. (4×4)

King cab

• 9,400 lb. (4×2)
• 9,240 lb. (4×4)

Crew cab

• 9,400 lb. (4×2)
• 9,230 lb. (4×4)

How do these numbers compare with the Titan’s competitors?

Looking at base trims with a 4×2 drivetrain, the Titan’s 9,740 pounds of maximum towing capacity outmuscles the likes of:

1. 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 (9,160 pounds)
2. 2018 Ford F-150 (7,600 pounds)
3. 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 (6,000 pounds)
4. 2018 Toyota Tundra (6,800 pounds)
5. 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 (6,000 pounds)

Plus, the right accessories can optimize the Titan’s towing capabilities. A tow hitch receiver utilizes a custom frame-mounted design to secure towing strength.

Diesel Towing With the Titan XD

If you want even greater towing capacity, opt for the Nissan Titan XD. The available Cummins® 5.0L Turbo Diesel V8 puts out 310 horsepower and eye-popping 555 lb.-ft. of torque, which allows for a maximum towing capacity of 12,640 pounds.
