About the 2022 Nissan Titan
Our scoring places the 2022 Nissan Titan at 7.0/10 overall, which translates to a Good rating for this truck. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 7.9/10, while Technology at 6.3/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a capable but unexceptional truck — stronger alternatives exist if you're willing to shop the segment carefully.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. Reliability is the weak spot: 6.7/10, under the class average. Review the recall record on this page and price in extra maintenance headroom. The safety score of 7.9/10 is solid mid-pack territory. If advanced driver aids matter to you, compare standard equipment carefully and verify ratings at nhtsa.gov.
Performance scores 7.4/10 — competent for everyday use. Acceleration and handling are adequate for commuting and highway driving, though enthusiasts will want to look at higher-rated alternatives. Technology scores 6.3/10 — the infotainment and driver-assist features feel dated against current-generation rivals. This is worth weighing if you prioritize connected features or modern safety tech.
Priced from $39,376–$51,639, 16 MPG, seating 5, the Nissan Titan sits in the mid-market bracket of the truck segment. The value score of 6.7/10 is a red flag — comparable alternatives offer meaningfully more for the same outlay. Shop the segment before deciding. At 4 years old, it's worth checking whether a newer generation or refresh has addressed any weaker dimensions — compare it to the current model year before buying.
Our take: The 2022 Nissan Titan is a passable truck but not a standout one. Weaknesses in reliability and value and technology hold it back from being a strong recommendation. It may suit buyers with specific needs it serves well, but we'd encourage comparing at least two or three higher-scored alternatives before deciding.

How It Ranks Among Trucks
The 2022 Nissan Titan ranks #425 of 515 trucks in the Carivo database — better than 18% of the segment. Its 7.0/10 overall score is 0.4 points below the segment average of 7.4/10. Its $39,376 starting price is about 12% above the segment's median of $35,138.
Smart-money pick: the 2019 Nissan Titan scores 6.8/10 — within striking distance of the 2022's 7.0 — and starts roughly $4,000 lower. If you don't need the newest model year, that's money better spent on a higher trim or kept in your pocket.

Infotainment and tech features feel dated compared to newer rivals in this segment
Fuel economy at 16 MPG is low — running costs will add up quickly
