“This is my second Nissan Titan. I currently have 300,000+ miles on that truck. It's been reliable and used well. Mostly commuting, but also off-road trips. I expect similar from my new Titan.”
2022 Nissan Titan: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

The biggest change for the 2022 Nissan Titan is the removal of the SL trim. Otherwise, this is a light update with the same V8 powertrain, familiar styling, and mostly carryover equipment.
About the 2022 Nissan Titan
2nd generation Titan (2016-2024), third year after the major 2020 refresh.
Nissan positions the Titan as a straightforward full-size truck with fewer configurations than Detroit rivals but a simpler promise: every model gets V8 power, a 9-speed automatic, and strong standard safety tech. The core appeal is easy-to-understand capability for towing, hauling, commuting, and family use, with PRO-4X covering off-road buyers and Platinum Reserve serving shoppers who want a more upscale cabin.
The S is the straightforward work-focused Titan, while the SV adds more convenience without moving into luxury territory. The PRO-4X is the off-road model, with an electronic locking rear differential, Bilstein shocks, underbody protection, and a 9-inch touchscreen. Platinum Reserve emphasizes comfort with heated and cooled front seats, premium leather seating, a surround-view camera, and a 12-speaker Fender audio system.
