Pickup trucks are insanely popular in the United States & Canada, yet one nameplate holds less than 1% marketshare. We're looking at the dead for 2021 Nissan Titan.

We here on TestDrive have had a run of booking vehicles that end up getting killed off. Recently we've gone out of our way to book a number of those killed off in 2020 but this one came as a bit of a surprise to us since we had it on our schedule before the news broke. Our full tour and review is on this 2020 Nissan Titan PRO-4X Luxury Crew Cab 4x4 pickup truck and we're looking at why this was the worst selling full-size pickup truck in the United States and Canada for 2019, the worst selling pickup truck of any segment for 2019 in both countries, and why it's already off to a terrible start for 2020.

We go over the sales data from Nissan Canada and Nissan USA when it comes to the Titan & Titan XD and compare it to the rest of the pickup truck market. We then go over some of the reasons why this wasn't a popular seller, ultimately leading to Nissan Canada's decision to end sales in Canada after 2021. We also discuss what was axed in 2019, specifically the 5.0L V8 Cummins turbo diesel engine offered on the XD heavy duty trucks, and what changes came for this 2020 model year.

We also discuss some of the features or lack thereof found on this truck compared to the other full size pickups we've driven to date, and why you might be looking at one of these instead. We jump inside the 2020 Nissan Titan to talk about the interior features and layout, along with the updated 8" infotainment system, 12 speaker Fender audio, Intelligent AroundView cameras, panoramic sunroof, Nissan Safety Shield 360, dual zone automatic climate control, and heated and ventilated front seats.

We then take the 2020 Nissan Titan on a real-world road test to talk about the 5.6L Endurance V8 gasoline engine and the issues we have with it, specifically off-the-line latency with the throttle response from a standstill. We go over some of the positives like the Zero-Gravity front seats and simple pricing/trim levels, but we keep coming back to the throttle response issue we experience.

Ultimately it ruins our experience with this truck, making it one of the worst vehicles we've driven to date as the Nissan Titan doesn't do anything better than the Big Three American trucks, nor does it have price on it's side. We can't figure out why anyone is buying the Titan, so we ask you our viewers to chime in with your thoughts, especially if you're a current Titan owner. We report our real-world fuel economy test results with this half tonne pickup truck and wrap up with how we really feel about it.
