2023 Nissan Frontier vs 2023 Nissan Titan

Serving Chattanooga, TN

Nissan's 2023 lineup features a selection of robust pickup truck models, including the Frontier and the Titan. The 2023 Frontier is a well-appointed midsize truck with a wealth of modern features, while the 2023 Titan is a light-duty, full-size truck offering a wide array of desirable features across its trims. At Nissan of Chattanooga East, our team is excited to highlight the critical distinctions between these two truck models and assist you in your next pickup truck decision.

Performance

The 2023 Frontier derives its power from a V6, 3.8-liter gasoline engine that produces an impressive 310 horsepower. Paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, it offers a choice between rear-wheel drive or low-range gearing for four-wheel drive. Some Frontier trims also feature a locking rear differential and Bilstein shock absorbers. In contrast, all 2023 Nissan Titan trims come equipped with a potent 400-horsepower V8, 5.6-liter engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. While four-wheel drive is optional for most trims, it is standard on the PRO-4X trim.

Appearance

A visit to Nissan of Chattanooga East will allow you to compare the aesthetics of the Frontier and the Titan up close. The Frontier, the smaller of the two models, offers extended and crew cab configurations with two available bed lengths. Its commanding presence is characterized by a tall hood, defined contours, somewhat boxy fenders, and linear accents on the door panels. The front end features a skid plate and a short, wide grille, complemented by rectangular foglights and LED headlights with upper and lower accents. On the other hand, the 2023 Titan boasts a shorter yet taller front end with smooth sides and rounded wheel wells. Its dominant grille, molded bumper with a skid plate, and tapered headlights outlined by an LED light ribbon set it apart.

Features

Both the Titan and the Frontier offer a similar array of features. You can expect options like lane departure warning, leather seats, adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera system, a wireless phone charging station, wireless Apple CarPlay, a premium audio system, a sunroof, and heated front seats. The Titan offers a power-sliding rear window, heated rear seats, front and rear parking sensors, and additional advanced safety technologies.
