Towing and Payload Capacities of Nissan Trucks

Jun 10, 2021

If you’re looking for a new Nissan truck, you probably want to know what kinds of towing and hauling abilities are provided. Here at Nissan of Cookeville, we have two models that are towing champions: the Nissan Titan and the Nissan Frontier. Visit us today to see how strong these two models are on the road.

Nissan Titan

The 2021 Nissan Titan comes with a 5.6-liter V8 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 413 lb.-ft. of torque. This is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission, and while rear-wheel drive comes standard, four-wheel drive is also available.

When equipped with four-wheel drive, this truck can tow up to 9,260 pounds. However, one of the perks of sticking with rear-wheel drive is getting to enjoy a 9,310-pound towing capacity. Plus, with rear-wheel drive, you’ll be able to haul up to 1,600 pounds, which is perfect for heavy luggage.

There are two bed lengths available for the Nissan Titan: a six-foot-seven-inch bed for the King cab and a five-foot bed with the Crew cab.

Nissan Titan XD

For the most towing and hauling ability, you’ll want to go with the Nissan Titan XD. When properly equipped, this truck can tow up to 11,040 pounds and haul up to 2,240 pounds. As a bonus, you’ll get to take advantage of a spacious six-foot-six-inch bed.

There are several packages offered with the base Nissan Titan and the Nissan Titan XD that are designed to improve towing and hauling, such as:

Tow mirrors
Trailer receiver hitch
Seven-pin wiring harness
Front tow hooks
Trailer brake controller
In-bed lighting
Bed cargo system

Nissan Frontier

The 2021 Nissan Titan comes with 3.8-liter V6 engine that generates 310 horsepower and 281 lb.-ft. of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are paired with this powertrain to enhance stability and handling on the road.
