The 2019 Nissan Titan in Madras, OR is Nissan's latest attempt to catch up with today's finest trucks. It gets some things right, like a roomy cabin and competent hauling capabilities. Compared with the 2019 Ford F-150, however, the Nissan Titan simply doesn't offer a lot of compelling reasons to make it a real contender.
The 2019 Ford F-150 is America's all-time best selling truck for a reason, and the Nissan Titan lags far behind.
Safety Comparison
The 2019 Nissan Titan lacks many safety features that all 2019 vehicles should already be equipped with, but the truck does offer anti-lock brakes, stability control, six airbags, and other basic features. Optional features include rear cross-traffic alerts and blind spot monitors, and not much else.
You will not be offered the latest technologies such as active lane control, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking- critical features that keep passengers and cargo safe on heavy-duty trucks like this one.
In contrast, the
2019 Ford F-150 keeps it cutting edge with available advanced safety features such as forward collision warnings, inflatable rear seat belts, and adaptive cruise control. You can also upgrade your F-150 with surround-view cameras, active lane control, navigation, and a trailer tow package that's a must-have if you plan to regularly haul large loads.
It's the same story when you check out the crash test scores of both trucks. The 2019 Ford F-150 received a 5-star overall score from the NHTSA. On top of those excellent federal scores, the F-150 also earned the highest, "Good," scores from the IIHS in almost every category. Unfortunately the 2019 Nissan Titan received a mixed bag of results; while it scored "Good" on some tests, it also earned some poor ratings such as a "Marginal" score for its headlights.
Passenger Space Comparison
Both trucks have the same passenger capacity, however, it's a tighter fit inside the Nissan Titan which only has 41.8 inches of legroom compared to 43.9 on the Ford. Shoulder room is only 63.3 versus 66.7, and hip room is 60.8 versus 62.5. Passengers will have the room to stretch out more in the F-150, and taller individuals will enjoy more legroom and headroom.
Comfort and quality-wise, the 2019 Ford F-150 continues to trump the Titan. Its seats are comfortable and well-shaped, but the driver's seat is not height-adjustable. Since the Titan has a below-average outward vision, this can be a significant issue for other drivers. The Ford F-150 goes out of its way to be accommodating. You get lots of regular storage space plus lockable ones for those expensive power tools and laptops. Recharge your gadgets using the standard 110-volt outlets. The truck offers leather seats, heating and cooling seats, large touchscreens, and a host of other creature comforts that perfectly combine utility and luxury.
