The Nissan Titan XD has always been known as that truck that stood right between light-duty and heavy-duty machines. If you were someone who needed more than what a typical full-size truck offered but didn’t need to go all the way with a commercial truck, the Nissan Titan XD was a perfect choice.

With all of the buzz about the potential for a diesel engine in the 2023 Titan, the versatility and capability of this Nissan truck are through the roof. Not only is Nissan looking at adding a new powertrain to the Titan XD, but it’s adding a whole slew of other upgrades to ensure that this pickup remains as competitive as ever.

It’s All About the Diesel

One of the most distinguishing features of the new 2023 Titan XD is its diesel engine. This pickup is normally powered by a 5.6-liter V8 gas engine that offers some pretty serious pep. You might recognize this V8 as the same engine that moves the Nissan Armada SUV. There’s rumor that a new twin-turbo gas-powered V6 is coming in the future as well.

Where drivers are most excited is the addition of a 5.0-liter diesel engine that produces 330 horsepower and 555 lb-ft of torque. This engine’s full list of specs isn’t available just yet, but you can be certain that it will offer improved fuel efficiency and towing abilities when compared to other powertrain options.

The Sportiest Truck Around

On top of adding a diesel powertrain to the mix, Nissan is also offering a new variation called the Nismo. The 2023 Nissan Titan XD may be one of the earliest adopters of this facelift. The

Nismo variation should show off an overall sportier appearance with at least a few new exterior color schemes. You’ll see larger tires, a lower stance, and a more aggressive grille. The Nismo appearance will definitely compliment this truck’s performance upgrades.

A New World Inside

The Nissan Titan XD is slated to receive a number of cabin upgrades, starting with higher quality materials. This pickup only comes with a crew cab, which tends to be the most popular choice anyway. You’ll love the optional Zero Gravity seats that provide immense comfort for long and short trips alike.

The base-level trim features a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment center. When you bump up to the SV trim, you’ll add a five-inch gauge cluster. Some of the upper-level models even come with a nine-inch touchscreen, along with leather seats and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot.

Be The First To Bring the Nissan Titan XD Home

The 2023 Titan XD will start at around $36,000. The exact numbers for each trim and upgrade option aren’t available yet, but you can be sure that this truck will be worth every penny. It may not be available yet, but you can keep in contact with your local Nissan dealer to ensure you’re the first to reserve and bring home this amazing pickup truck. Until then, the Titan XD is only a dream away.
