2017 Nissan Titan XD: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 13, 2026
The big change for the 2017 Nissan Titan XD is the addition of Single Cab and King Cab body styles. The truck was not redesigned, and its core powertrain, safety, and cabin-tech offerings largely carried over.
About the 2017 Nissan Titan XD
2nd-generation Titan XD (A61), introduced for 2016; 2017 is the second model year and the body-style expansion year.
Nissan positions the Titan XD as the truck for shoppers who want more towing and hauling strength than a typical half-ton pickup, but without moving all the way to a harsher, more traditional heavy-duty truck. Its core identity is a “between-the-classes” full-size pickup with a reinforced frame, commercial-grade hardware, and a more everyday-friendly cabin than many heavy-duty rivals. That in-between mission is the Titan XD’s clearest differentiator.
The 2017 Titan XD spans straightforward work trucks, an off-road-focused PRO-4X, and upscale SL and Platinum Reserve versions. Standout equipment ranges from the PRO-4X’s locking rear differential and Bilstein off-road shocks to the Platinum Reserve’s premium leather seating, surround-view camera, and towing aids.
