About this generation

The second-generation Titan was to be a lightly reskinned, rebadged version of the Dodge Ram, but those plans fell through with the 2008 worldwide financial crisis. Nissan unveiled the second generation Titan at the 2015 North American International Auto Show. The company targeted 5 percent market share, or 100,000 annual sales in U.S. Sales reached 21,880 units in 2016. The standard engine was a 5.6-liter V8 gasoline engine.

The engine increased in power compared to the previous model, producing and of torque mated to a seven-speed automatic. Additionally, through the end of 2019, the second-generation Titan offered a Cummins 5.0-liter turbodiesel V8 that produces almost of torque. The engine is referred to as the ISV. The second-generation Titan was available in two forms, regular and XD. The XD version was built on a heavy-duty frame based on Nissan's commercial vehicle line and included the Cummins 5.0L diesel engine as an option until 2019.

The chassis platform was shared with the Nissan NV. The Titan XD front and rear differentials are respectively MA235 and MA248(optional electronic locking differential MA248ELD). The standard Titan front and rear differentials are respectively MA210 and M226(optional electronic locking differential M226ELD). The Titan XD steering rack uses a recirculating ball design, unlike the standard Titan's rack and pinion steering rack.

Three different cab styles were offered for the Titan and Titan XD: a two-door regular cab, four-door King (extended) Cab, and four-door crew cab. The four-door crew cab models were the first trucks to debut, followed by the King Cab and regular cab. Trim levels for the Titan and Titan XD were S, SV, Pro-4X (4X4 only), SL, and Platinum Reserve. The regular cab was only available with either S or SV trim levels, while the King Cab was only available with S, SV, or PRO-4X.

The crew cab was available with all trim levels. All Titan and Titan XD models come equipped with standard equipment such as Bluetooth for both hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming via A2DP, air conditioning, keyless entry, power windows and door locks, push-button ignition, and a rearview backup camera system. Options included a touchscreen audio system with GPS navigation (standard equipment for 2019), SiriusXM Satellite Radio, keyless access, an electronically-locking rear tailgate, remote start, alloy wheels, leather-trimmed seating surfaces with heating and ventilation, power front seats, a premium audio system, wood interior trim, a trailer tow package with integrated trailer brake control, and chrome front and rear bumpers and front grille.

For 2019, all Titan and Titan XD models received a new infotainment system as standard equipment, featuring GPS navigation, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and a seven-inch color touchscreen display, and the optional Rockford-Fosgate premium audio system was replaced with a new Fender premium audio system. This marks the first time a Fender audio system was available on a vehicle from a manufacturer other than Volkswagen.

For 2020, Nissan unveiled a refreshed Titan and Titan XD. For 2020, the regular cab model was dropped from both the standard and XD lines, and King Cab models of the Titan XD were no longer available. The 5.0 L Cummins turbo-diesel V8 engine that was available on the heavier-duty Titan XD was also discontinued, leaving only the 5.6 L "Endurance" gasoline V8. A new nine-speed Jatco automatic transmission replaced the previous seven-speed automatic transmission.
