2015 Nissan Titan
large pickup / Crew cab pickup
Moderate overlap front: original test
Rating applies to 2013-15 models
Tested vehicle: 2013 Nissan Titan S King Cab
The Nissan Titan was introduced in the 2004 model year. Beginning with 2013 models, design changes were made to the frontal airbags and seat belts. Moderate overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Nissan. (The vehicle tested by Nissan was designated as a 2012 model but included the airbag and seat belt changes of the 2013 models.) Because the vehicle structure did not change after 2004, structure ratings are based this test as well as an earlier test of a 2004 Titan conducted by the Institute.
