2013 Nissan Titan: Subtle Changes

2012 model pictured

Most of the changes for the 2013 Nissan Titan are about adding more standard features to the existing trim packages; however, there will be a new tailgate that offers an integrated aero design, said to help the truck cut slightly better through the wind. The changes don't seem to affect fuel economy, though. The added size and shape of the tailgate allowed engineers to embed the backup camera inside the gate more discreetly.

The 2013 models will go on sale later this fall, and they will be offered in seven all-new colors and another unique PRO-4X graphic. The Titan's smaller brother, the Nissan Frontier, will have a short list of changes for the 2013 model year, but the details will be released later. Details on the 2013 Titan are below.
