The Nissan Titan is in desperate need of a redesign. Many experts believe that the Titan truck nameplate is destined for the great graveyard in the sky. Will the Japanese automaker redesign the Nissan Titan?

Will Nissan redesign the Titan?

Nissan will not redesign the Titan for the 2023 model year. TFLTruck.com claims that the Titan will undergo “minor tweaks” for the new model year.

There’s no word of a redesign for the Nissan Titan yet, but the full-size pickup truck is falling behind other models in its segment. The Toyota Tundra recently got a redesign for the 2022 model year after over a decade of little to no changes.

The Tundra’s evolution makes the Titan’s stagnation even more noticeable. If the Japanese automaker wants the Titan to survive, it has to make some changes. The Titan’s fuel efficiency is too poor for most consumers. Gas prices have reached record highs in 2022. Many drivers are looking to save money on fuel. The Titan may be powerful, but it’s also expensive.

The 2022 Nissan Titan starts at $40,605. It’s more expensive than most full-size trucks in its vehicle segment. The 2023 Nissan Titan starts at a whopping $41,495. Despite becoming even more expensive, the new Titan isn’t very different from the previous model year.

Nissan should take a page out of Toyota’s playbook

Toyota may have taken its sweet time redesigning the Tundra, but consumers and drivers sure are happy that the company finally made a move. The latest Tundra model year addresses several of the main issues that drivers had with older models. It features a more comfortable cabin, better tech, and better gas mileage.

Toyota has successfully reinvigorated the Tundra nameplate. Nissan should follow in the footsteps of fellow Japanese automaker Toyota and give fans the full-size truck redesign they are crying out for.

Many industry experts predict that the gas guzzlin’ V8-powered Titan is on the verge of extinction. If there was ever a time to give the truck a serious update, it’s now.
