PickupTrucks.com's Mark Williams reviews the 2013 Nissan Titan.

Transcript

(upbeat music) I'm Mark Williams for PickupTrucks.com, and today we have the 2013 Nissan Titan. Technically, it's the oldest pickup truck in the segment, but it still offers that half ton pickup truck customer a lot of value.
Let's take a closer look. Not a lot of changes for the 2013 model but there are a few details we wanna call your attention to, specifically in the center stack. Now, all trucks are gonna be available with a backup camera, but this area right in here has been completely reworked to offer a little more storage and a more visible and easy to see screen for the nav system and the backup camera. Still gonna be offered in four trim packages, S, SV, PRO-4X and SL. Pricing for the four trim packages is pretty compact starting at about $30,000 for the S going up to $41,000 for the SL luxury package. What we have here is the PRO-4X, which we happen to like a lot. It's got some new graphics, also has a locking rear differential and an inverter option for a plug that's in the bed. Here's a little piece of trivia. Nissan was the very first manufacturer to offer a factory spray in bed liner. We love spray in bedliners. Almost as much, we love their channel rail system that allows you to basically infinitely position the number of cargo tie-down points you want for the bed, both on three sides of the pickup bed and in the floor. They also have a very cool storage right here in the rear quarter panel. The rear tailgate is fully strutted so it's easy up and down. And new for '13, a new wind diffuser on the top of the tailgate to improve fuel economy and a unique design here on the tailgate as well. It's worth noting that the head of Ram truck recently just jumped over to Nissan. We think that's gonna bode very well to both the engineering and design team that is right now working on the next generation Titan. But we're hearing that that's not gonna happen till the end of 2014, possibly a 2015 model. Until then stay tuned. (engine racing)
