Trim Notes

Maximum rating achieved on the lightest configuration (S King Cab 4x2) with the standard 5.6L Endurance V8 (400 hp) and 3.916 rear axle ratio; heavier crew cab and 4x4 configurations tow less.

⚠ Important

For 2020 Nissan dropped the Titan single cab; the base 5.0L Cummins diesel V8 was discontinued after 2019, leaving only the gas V8. Ratings vary by cab/drivetrain; verify against the specific VIN door placard and towing guide.

◆ Gear you may need

Always confirm against your door-jamb sticker & OEM towing guide before hauling. Ratings vary by exact configuration.

Prose overview

The 2020 Nissan Titan carries a maximum towing capacity of 9,370 lbs when properly equipped, paired with a Class IV hitch. As with every truck and SUV, the rating swings by engine, drivetrain, cab and bed configuration, and rear axle ratio — so two 2020 Nissan Titans on the same lot can be rated thousands of pounds apart. Match your trailer to the lowestrelevant limit (towing capacity, payload, GCWR, and hitch rating), and verify against the sticker inside the driver's-side door jamb.
