The Nissan Titan Is Trucking Into Its Final Year
The automotive world will soon be bidding “ta-ta” to the Nissan Titan.
Nissan has confirmed that 2024 will be the full-size pickup’s last year, as first reported by Carscoops.
The Mississippi-built model first joined Nissan’s lineup as a 2004 model and it was a hit out of the box with over 80,000 sold in each of its first full years on the market.
Things started heading downhill after that and the Titan wasn’t able to gain traction in the competitive full-size segment before deliveries dropped into the 20,000s during the economic downturn that hit late in the decade.
A 2016 redesign that included a Titan XD model positioned between the traditional light and heavy duty pickup segments juiced sales over 50,000 for a couple of years, but Nissan moved just more than 15,000 Titans in 2022, putting it dead last in the segment behind the fifth-place Toyota Tundra’s 94,429 as class-leader Ford sold around 654,000 F-Series trucks.
Nissan said it plans to update the Canton, Miss., plant to “support” the production of two all-electric models, but did not release any details. The midsize Frontier pickup will continue to be built at the facility for now.
The Titan rolls into its final year with a range of nine King Cab and Crew Cab configurations across the standard and XD lines at starting prices from $47,665 to $67,735.
All come standard with a 500 hp 5.6-liter V8 and the Nissan Safety Shield 360 package of electronic driver aids that includes front and rear automatic emergency braking.
Production of the Titan will continue into summer 2024.
