Know Your Truck

2015 Nissan Titan

Recalls and owner complaints reported to NHTSA

Compared with the typical (middle) count of 1,003 complaints across the 6 model-year 2015 half-ton trucks we cover. Best-selling trucks naturally collect more complaints because more of them are on the road.

Price & value

We don't guess at prices. Get a real value for the exact truck from Kelley Blue Book, then see how the asking price compares.

Is it a good deal?

  1. Look up the truck on Kelley Blue Book. Choose its cab, trim, options, miles, condition and your ZIP code, and note the private party value (or the fair purchase price if you're buying from a dealer).
  2. Enter that value and the asking price below.
Check value on Kelley Blue Book ↗

Enter both numbers to see the deal rating.

The rating only compares the two numbers you enter: within 5% of the value is a good deal, 5–15% under is a great deal, and more than 15% under is a buy-it-now price. Know Your Truck isn't affiliated with Kelley Blue Book. Rust, accident history, lifts and mods, and service records all change what a truck is worth, so always get a pre-purchase inspection.

Recalls

A recall doesn't mean a truck still has the problem. Enter the truck's VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer to see whether the repair was done.

NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings from government crash tests. Ratings differ by cab style and 2WD/4WD, so check the row that matches the truck. Source: nhtsa.gov/ratings.

NHTSA hasn't published star ratings for this truck. NHTSA doesn't crash-test every version of every truck, so this doesn't mean the truck is unsafe.
