Nissan has given the Titan a host of improvements to the styling, the interior and even the drivetrain for the 2020 model year. The most obvious difference is to the front end, where several different new grille designs will now help differentiate various Titan trim levels. The truck's headlights are also new for this year, as are the LED taillights and the LEDs that help illuminate the bed of the truck. Inside, Nissan claims their new 8-inch display is the largest standard screen in its class, while a dual panoramic moonroof has also been added as an option this year. In addition, there have been several less visible, but no less noticeable improvements made to the vehicle's drivetrain. A small bump in horsepower brings that number up to 400 (with a corresponding jump in peak torque) while the old 7-speed automatic has been replaced with a new 9-speed unit.

The 2019 Nissan Titan adds a moderate list of additions this year. All Titan models include a newly standard 7-inch touch-screen audio display with Nissan's Rear Door Alert system and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity as standard equipment. A beefy 485-watt 12-speaker Fender audio system is added to its stand-alone options list. A Midnight Edition Package will again be offered on Crew Cab SV and SL models, bringing a custom look straight from the factory

With the exception of a Midnight Edition trim, the Nissan Titan and Titan XD are unchanged for 2018.

The biggest news for 2017 is the reintroduction of the standard Titan model below the Titan XD. The standard Titan is just a little smaller, considered a true 1/2-ton pickup rather than the slightly larger XD. The standard Titan should be a hit for worksites where its more utilitarian nature and lower base price will endear itself to all manner of buyers.

The Nissan Titan gets several minor enhancements to the interior of the vehicle for 2015 including new door panel designs and materials as well as power adjustable lumbar support for models equipped with Captain's Chairs. New interior and exterior colors are also available this year.

The Nissan Titan remains mostly unchanged for 2014.

The Nissan Titan remains mostly unchanged for 2013. There are several new features included in a couple of the trim levels. The PRO-4X sees somewhat revised styling both inside and out, including darker wheels, a satin chrome grill and white stitching on the interior. It also gets a new Display type stereo. SV and SL models now come with a step rail and S models get a new wheel design.

For 2012, the Nissan Titan full-size pickup gets only a few changes from the 2011 model. The SV model gets a new Sport Appearance Package that includes 20-inch wheels, a 3.36 axle ratio, an 8-way power-adjustable driver seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth, fog lamps and a number of other interior and exterior trim details.

For 2011, the Nissan Titan full-size pickup receives only superficial changes. These include model name changes, with the trim lineup getting renamed to S, SV and SL.

Changes for 2010 are minor. A SE Value Truck package is new for this year, adding popular options to the up-level Titan. Side airbags and electronic stability control have been added as standard equipment.

The Titan range of full-sized pickups got a freshening for the 2008 model year, so changes for 2009 are minor, and mostly to the list of options. A Heavy Metal package with chrome exterior accents is new for this year, as is a long-wheelbase option.

An off-road focused, aggressively styled Nissan Titan PRO-4X model is new for 2008 and brings a body-colored grille and bumpers, alloy off-road wheels, and a number of cosmetic differences, plus Rancho shocks, a lower final-drive ratio, extra skid plates, and an electronic locking rear differential. Otherwise, the Titan carries over with only a few small changes for 2008. A Bluetooth hands-free system is now included in the top LE model, XM satellite radio is available, a heated leather bench seat is also newly available, and the DVD entertainment system now has a larger eight-inch screen. A new beige interior color is available, and two new exterior colors--Desert Stone and Timberline--join the palette.

For 2007, the Nissan Titan's standard V8 gets a boost in power, from 305 horsepower to 317. Otherwise, there are a few minor equipment changes. A new Chrome Package available on LE and SE models brings 18-inch chrome wheels plus chrome step rails; a utility bed option can be added to the Chrome Package. Also, there's a new "Texas Titan" appearance package available on some models.
