The answer?

2016 Nissan Titan XD and 2017 Titan Montgomery AL

It’s a clash of the Nissan Titans! The 2016 Titan XD and 2017 Titan might share a very similar design style inside and out but the size of the XD far surpasses its smaller half-ton brother. The hefty 7,000-lb, 20-foot XD is approximately a foot longer than the standard Titan. In addition to being the larger truck of the two, the Titan XD is available with both a gas and diesel engine. Of the five trim levels that it lists, each one is available either with the Endurance 5.6L 32-valve V8 or the all-new Cummins 5.0L V8 turbo diesel. While the Cummins turbodiesel is strictly available to the XD and should not be coming to the standard Titan, there is a chance that a turbo may become available to the standard truck as soon as Nissan releases more information about its half-ton.

The 2016 Nissan Titan XD and the 2017 Nissan Titan will both be available in three cab styles: Single, King Cab, and Crew Cab. Despite the size difference between the two trucks, there is one rather interesting fact that will be appreciated by those debating between the two and that is the cabin size is the same. The standard Nissan Titan also does an impressive job of keeping up in towing capacity, but the Titan XD comes equipped ready to tow with a gooseneck trailer because it’s geared more towards heavy duty buyers.

As Nissan continues to release further information, we will be sure to keep you up-to-date on the status of the Nissan Titan truck siblings.
