When it comes to pickup trucks, there are several brands to choice from and each of these brands offer a ton of choices. Japanese automaker Nissan have carved its name into this particular market and its latest offering, the 2017 Nissan Titan, is a testament to the company's commitment to developing high-performance pickup trucks.
Compared to its close competitors from Ford, Ram, Chevrolet and GMC, the Nissan Titan have been lagging behind in terms of sales output in the last 10 years. However, this does not necessarily mean that the truck is worthless.
