We give you a look at the 2021 Ram 1500 vs. Nissan TITAN to show the benefits of each truck and how they stand out. Get more information in this comparison article.


2021 Ram 1500 vs Nissan TITAN: Performance

Ram 1500 PerformanceIn any truck you choose, this is often the most important factor. The performance you get from the engine and the capabilities you have to accomplish any task are frequently the reason you choose to purchase a truck.

In the Ram 1500, you get various engine options, ranging from a V6 to V8 and even a diesel engine. This truck comes standard with a 3.6L V6 engine that provides 305 horsepower. The TRX trim of the Ram 1500 comes with a 6.2L HEMI® V8 engine that offers 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. You can also choose from the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine that gets 260 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, all while getting an EPA-estimated 33 highway MPG.

All of these possibilities make the Ram 1500 a more versatile truck. When compared to the Nissan TITAN, which only offers one engine on both available trims, it certainly makes a difference. The engine in the Nissan TITAN is a 5.6L V8 engine that gets 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque—impressive but falls short by comparison to all the options you have with the Ram 1500.


Ram 1500 vs Nissan TITAN: Towing Capability

Another aspect of performance that matters to drivers is the towing capacity your truck provides. If you own a truck—especially for work—you’re likely looking for a vehicle that can help you move larger objects and complete larger tasks at the workplace.

The Ram 1500 provides a towing capacity that varies based on the trim level you choose. The TRX trim offers a maximum 12,750 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped. The Rebel trim offers a maximum 7,440 pounds when properly equipped.

The Nissan TITAN can offer a maximum 11,040 pounds of towing capacity on the XD trim when properly equipped. This is certainly a substantial amount of towing, but not nearly as much as with the options the Ram 1500 provides.

The Ram 1500 also offers available Trailer Reverse Steering Control and a 360° Surround View Camera that can make hitching up the trailer and navigating the roads much easier.


Ram 1500 vs Nissan TITAN: Cargo Space

Ram 1500 InteriorThe truck you choose also needs to provide plenty of cargo space to move other objects. The Ram 1500 gives  several options for how much cargo space you have.

The Ram 1500 has a 6-foot, 4-inch bed or a 5-foot, 7-inch bed to choose from on most trims. The Nissan TITAN does not provide similar options.

The Ram 1500 also has a multifunctional tailgate. It offers 60/40 split swing-away doors to allow for easier access to the cargo area, especially when a trailer is connected. The tailgate in the Ram 1500 also supports up to 2,000 pounds and can open down to provide more versatility.
