I did a ton of research on the 1/2 ton and 3/4 tons....read a lot of truck mags that compared the Titan to 3/4 tons, and it came up a bit short. This negative spin hurt the Titan, but if you consider the target market, it hits the mark. It’s not a true 3/4 ton, although built like one, but rides much better. Nissan targeted the weekend toyhauler. It’s not a 3/4 ton Ford, Dodge or Chevy. But it’s built like a tank. I had to look at it for myself. As mentioned above, brakes, bilstien shocks, huge box frame, transmission the same as a 3/4 ton, and the Cummins diesel. Not as powerful as some of the other diesels, but plenty adequate. I tow a 7500lb boat on cruise control. Literally. If buying used, you can remove the def/exhaust system (simple delete kit available) and your horsepower and torque goes up significantly. Again, it’s an option. Maybe not for everyone, but I bought a 2018 and it’s been rock solid.
