Let’s discuss the reliability of the Tundra vs Nissan Titan

 

If you are going to be using your new truck for work hauls or everyday commutes, one of the most important factors is making sure it gets you there every time. Now, let’s take a deeper look into that factor, reliability, and find out which one comes out on top. 

If you don’t know, you may be living under a rock, but Toyota is very well-known for its reliable nature. However, Nissan is up there too. So, who won in this department according to awards and the hard facts to prove it? Well, of course, that would be Toyota. So, let’s check it out! 

• Toyotas ranked more reliable than Nissan Vehicles from the J.D. Power and Associates 2022 survey of car owners with 3 years of driving experience in their models. 
• J.D. Power also ranks Toyota above average in long-term dependability and Toyota wins against Nissan with 34 more problems per 100 vehicles in the first three years of ownership. Consumer Reports back in January 2023 had an Auto Issue Report and concluded that Toyota Vehicles are more reliable than Nissan Vehicles. Toyota ranks first in overall reliability, while Nissan ranked 15th!

There are also plenty of pros with choosing a Toyota over a Chevy like maintenance benefits and more convenience finding a Toyota service center over a Chevy service center. Let’s check them out! 

• Toyota pays for scheduled maintenance on the Tundra for 2 years and 25000 miles. Toyota will pay for oil changes, tire rotations, air filter replacements, cabin filter replacements, brake fluid replacements, inspections, and any other required maintenance. Nissan doesn’t pay scheduled maintenance for the Titan XD.
• There are over 15 percent more Toyota dealers than there are Nissan dealers, which makes it easier should you ever need service under the Tundra’s warranty. 

Who wins the battle of the better performance? Tundra or Titan 

Let’s get into what we all love, especially when it comes to a truck. If you didn’t know, the 2022 Toyota Tundra underwent a redesign and that means it got a new hybrid engine. This wasn’t the last hybrid engine to be added to a Toyota truck either. The 2024 Tacoma redesign also received a new and improved hybrid engine. So, what’s so special about a hybrid engine and why is that a key difference between the 2024 Nissan Titan vs. Toyota Tundra? Well, the performance speaks for itself, oh and so does the fuel efficiency. Let’s get into the details. 

• The Tundra’s optional 3.4 turbo V6 produces 66 lbs.-ft. more torque (479 vs. 413) than the Titan XD’s 5.6 DOHC V8.
• The optional hybrid engine on the Tundra a 3.4 turbo V6 hybrid produces 37 more horsepower 437 vs. 400) and 170 lbs.-ft. More torque (583 vs. 413) than the Titan XD’s 5.6 DOHC V8. 
• The Tundra engine turbo V6 is faster than the Titan XD with faster zero to 60 speeds at 5.9 seconds for the Tundra and 7.6 sec for the Titan XD. 
• The Tundra i-FORCE MAX’s fuel efficiency offers regenerative brakes, while the Titan XD doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system. The Regenerative braking system gives better overall fuel efficiency. 
• If you happen to get into some pretty bad traffic and are waiting at a stoplight for a while, your Tundra’s engine automatically turns off to save fuel and reduce pollution. It restarts when it’s ready to get going again. The Titan doesn’t have this automatic engine start and stop feature and, therefore doesn’t prioritize fuel efficiency like the Clermont Toyota Tundra competition. 
• The Tundra has an optional fuel tank that has 6.2 more gallons than the Titan XD (32.2 vs. 26 gallons) giving you convenience on the roads with more fuel capacity. 
• There is a standard locking fuel door with a power remote release on the hybrid Tundra model, that isn’t available on the 2024 Chevy Titan. Looks like it’s another win for the Tundra in the performance department. 

Now, let’s dive deeper into the Suspension and handling of the Titan vs. Tundra

What’s a solid truck without some air time? We’re discussing the suspension and handling of the 2024 Titan vs Tundra in Clermont, FL. The Tundra gets many different suspension add-ons that aren’t available on the Titan XD, which is a good factor to consider if you are interested in a variety. Here are some of the features: 

• Tundra uses front and rear coil springs that give better handling and control on the road, while the Titan Xd uses leaf springs in the rear. Coil Springs are the better option because they offer more suspension travel for a smoother ride. 
• Enjoy available driver-adjustable suspension systems on the Clermont Toyota Tundra that aren’t available on the Titan XD’s suspension. 
• Look forward to more towing capacity on the Tundra at 12,000 lbs. vs the Nissan Titan Xd’s 11,033 lbs. towing capacity. 
• The Toyota Tundra is much lighter than the Nissan Titan XD, allowing for faster acceleration and more efficient handling. The Tundra even uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed to get you better fuel economy. This isn’t a feature that is offered on the Nissan Titan XD. 
• Also, enjoy standard automatic load leveling suspension for heavy loads on the road on the Tundra Platinum, 1794, and Capstone trim levels. This is a feature you can not get on any Titan XD model. 

Which one gives you better Safety Guarantees?

Safety is an essential part of owning any truck and it might be a higher priority for many, while others may push it to the back of their mind. Both the 2024 Toyota Tundra vs 2024 Chevy Titan share safety features that you can look forward to. Let’s check it out. 

• The Nissan Titan vs. Toyota Tundra both offer Rear Cross Traffic Alert, however, the Tundra’s Rear Cross Traffic Alert also has a Parking Support Brake which automatically applies the brakes and offers better collision prevention when backing near traffic. The Titan XD’s Rear Cross Traffic Alert doesn’t automatically break. 
• Enjoy standard driver and passenger airbag systems with headlights and daytime pedestrian crash prevention with nighttime pedestrian crash prevention testing. The Tundra received the highest rating in the Top Safety Pick Plus for 2023 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety which only was given to 29 vehicles tested by the IIHS. The Titan XD was not one of the models tested. 

Now, let’s take a look at some of the points for Tundra winning the Safety category. 

• The Tundra offers front and rear shoulder belts with pre-tensioners to tighten the seatbelts in the face of a collision. This feature reduces the likelihood of death in the case of a collision. This feature is not offered on the Chevy Titan. 
• The Tundra also gets standard active headrests with a whiplash protection system, as well as a standard secondary collision brake both not offered on the 2024 Chevy Titan.

You have to choose the option that’s going to give you the most luxury out of your pocket. Let’s have a chat about the Tundra’s interior features vs what the Nissan is lacking inside.
