When motorists are considering a new pickup truck, a Toyota Tundra is one of the models they frequently look at. While there is no doubting that the Toyota Tundra is a very good vehicle, there are a few models currently on the market that are well worth considering too, and leading this field is the Nissan Titan.

There are more trims to look at if you need and most of them come with the option of FWD or AWD. All Titans also come equipped with all of Nissan’s Connect services. These include automatic collision notification, remote locking, anti-theft alarms, and remote engine start – note that payment is expected after an extended trial period for some services. The Toyota Tundra also comes in two cab sizes, equivalent in dimensions to the Nissan Titan.
