Ford F-150 vs Nissan Titan: Towing and Payload

The Nissan Titan is a strong truck that can pull along a decent amount of weight. At most, it offers a towing capacity of 9,310 pounds when properly equipped. It can also be configured to carry a payload of up to 1,690 pounds.

While impressive, if you need even more powerful capabilities, you'll want to turn to the Ford F-150. That is because it can tow up to 14,000 pounds when properly configured. It also has the strength to handle a maximum payload of 3,325 pounds. Plus, it even offers a Full Hybrid powertrain, which gives you both great gas mileage and the ability to tow more than 12,000 pounds when properly equipped. With the 2021 Titan, you are limited to just its V8 engine as the only option.

Extra Assistance

Both trucks feature various safety systems that help make sure you reach your destination safely. While they share many common features, like Trailer Sway Control and Automatic Emergency Braking, the Ford F-150 has some unique features that help you even more while towing or driving.

With its available Pro Trailer Backup Assist™, reversing your trailer the direction you want it to go is done simply by turning a knob. With available Active Park Assist™ 2.0, the F-150 can take control and automatically fit itself into an open parking spot, whether it's downtown along the street or in a shopping center. Unfortunately, the Nissan Titan doesn't offer these same technologies.

Inside the F-150 vs Titan
