2017 Nissan Titan XD Crew CAB towing capacity

The 2017 Nissan Titan XD Crew CAB is published in 5 configurations with a tow rating of 12,310 lb (half-ton plus / heavy-duty truck territory).

The table below lists every trim of the 2017 Nissan Titan XD Crew CAB with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

Per-trim breakdown

How to interpret the headline tow figure

Ratings in this range are typically achievable with a weight-distributing hitch and the appropriate tow package. The conventional bumper-pull rating without weight distribution will be lower than the headline figure shown here — usually 5,000 to 8,000 lb. Confirm the hitch class on your vehicle's door-jamb sticker before towing at the upper end.

How this year compares to 2016

The 2016 Nissan Titan XD Crew CAB carried a maximum tow rating of 12,000 lb. The 2017 model adds 310 lb on top of that — usually a sign the manufacturer added a tow package option, refreshed the powertrain, or revised hitch class certification.
