2025 Nissan Titan vs. Nissan Titan XD Comparison

2025 Nissan Titan vs. Nissan Titan XD Comparison

We know that choosing the right truck can be a big decision. You want something that has a great towing capacity, but you also want a truck that is comfortable and nice to look at. Enter the 2025 Nissan Titan. But which trim level should you buy? Between the traditional Nissan Titan and the XD version, there are many similarities and differences, especially when it comes to performance.

Follow along as our team at Maus Nissan of North Tampa compares the two Titan trims.

Towing Capacity

If towing is important to you, the Titan XD will take the lead in our comparison. It has a towing capacity of up to 11,050 pounds, offering you that extra muscle needed to pull a boat, work trailer, or heavy equipment. The regular Titan comes in at 9,290 pounds.

Payload Capacity

With a payload capacity of 2,360 pounds, the Titan XD edges out the Titan again when it comes to payload capacity. The Titan has a payload capacity of around 1,600 pounds which makes it a good choice for lighter loads. But if you need something with a little more stamina, the Titan XD is the one you’ll want to choose.

Size & Handling

Believe it or not, the Titan is a pretty nimble truck. Since it’s smaller than many of its counterparts on the market, it is easy to maneuver and is a great choice for city driving. The Titan XD is slightly larger and is designed for heavy-duty tasks, which can feel bulky for daily commutes, but makes it the perfect choice for bigger jobs.

Engine Performance

Both Titans are equipped with the same 5.6L V8 engine which delivers impressive horsepower and torque. This means that whether you choose the Titan or the larger XD, you’ll get enhanced performance and easy handling.

Which Trim Should You Choose?

Drivers who are looking for an everyday driver and only need to tow loads occasionally would do well with choosing the Titan. If they need to haul large payloads or tow heavy trailers or recreational vehicles, then the Titan XD, with its higher towing capacity is a great choice.
