Best Nissan Trucks for Winter Driving

Dec 15, 2020

You can always count on Nissan trucks for towing, hauling, and regular daily activities like commuting to work. But how do they perform when the weather turns cold and icy? Pretty admirably, it turns out.

Learn why these two Nissan pickups in particular are outstanding for winters in Cookeville, TN.

Nissan Titan

The Nissan Titan is a big truck with a 5.6-liter V8 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 413 lb.-ft. of torque. This comes with a nine-speed automatic transmission, and while rear-wheel drive is standard, you may want to opt for four-wheel drive.

For the most surefootedness on icy roads, the Pro-4X trim is your best option. This model comes standard with:

Hill descent control
Skid plates
Electronic locking rear differential
All-terrain tires
Bilstein coilover shocks

The Nissan Titan also has great towing ability, which will come in handy if you have to pull someone out of some snow or mud. When properly equipped, it can tow up to 9,260 pounds when equipped with four-wheel drive.

The Nissan Titan also comes with many standard safety features, including:

Automatic emergency braking
Blind spot monitoring
Lane departure warning
Pedestrian detection
Forward collision warning

Nissan Frontier

While not as big as the Nissan Titan, the Nissan Frontier is also a good truck for bad weather. It comes with a 3.8-liter V6 engine that generates 310 horsepower and 281 lb.-ft. of torque. This also comes with a nine-speed automatic transmission as well as rear-wheel drive.

To help make sure Old Man Winter is no match for your truck, you can equip your Nissan Frontier with four-wheel drive. Plus, these models come with hill descent control and a transfer case. You can also get a limited-slip system and a locking rear differential.
