When Nissan introduced the Titan lineup, it came with a strategy that allowed it to build the vehicle at a lower price than its competitors but still meet its customers' demands.
The Japanese carmaker noticed that the customers focused on two cab versions, one gearbox, and a V-8 engine, so it built the Titan with only these specifications on the same ladder-frame chassis. Moreover, when the Japanese carmaker ranked 23rd in the JD Initial Quality Study, it sent engineers to the assembly lines. It fixed the problem and jumped on 18th place, ahead of Chevrolet, Dodge, and Ford.
Nissan offered the King Cab a work/leisure vehicle with a bed in the back and a shorter cabin than the Crew-Cab version. Since it made only one chassis with one wheelbase, it offered a decent loading bed behind the passenger area. The pickup's front fascia was straightforward, evoking a rugged and tough vehicle. Unlike its Crew-Cab sibling, the King Cab featured rear-hinged doors for the back-seat passengers.
Unlike its full-size cabin version, the Crew Cab, the King Cab provided adequate room for two passengers at the front. In the back, on the other hand, the legroom was limited. It was enough for short trips, but the friends seated there could become enemies on the long travels. Despite the generous-sized instrument cluster, the carmaker didn't bother installing too many gauges. Instead, it placed only the necessary ones. On top of the center stack, Nissan put a pop-up navigation screen as an option.
Under the hood, the only option was a 5.6-liter V-8 engine that delivered 317 horses for the 4x4 version. As an experienced off-road car manufacturer, Nissan installed a five-speed automatic transmission and a low-range transfer case for the all-wheel-drive model.
