We have mixed emotions with the 2022 Nissan Titan. On the one hand, the Titan is a comfortable and highly-capable full-size truck equipped with a standard V8 engine. On the other, the Titan remains the same second-gen truck that first debuted in 2016, despite some minor updates in 2020. In a world where brilliant half-ton pickup trucks from Ford, Chevy, GMC, and Ram are ever-present, the Titan is not the pre-Olympian contender it once was.

Throw in the limited powertrain and cab design options, and you have a rather pleasant-looking workhorse that appeals to a narrow audience. The Titan’s hefty base price is worth noting too.

In return, Nissan has given the 2022 Titan a slew of updated standard features and refreshed option packages. The base Titan S includes a spray-on bed liner and a trailer hitch. At the same time, the SV trim now has the previously optional Convenience Package that adds dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, a power driver’s seat, standard navigation, remote start, and parking sensors, to mention a few.

All 2022 Nissan Titans have a burly 5.6-liter naturally-aspirated V8 engine with 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft. of torque. The engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, while PRO-4X models receive a standard electronic locking differential. Surprisingly, the Titan XD has the same V8 engine despite its heavier-duty underpinnings.
