2012 Nissan Titan: 13/18 mpg (2WD); 12/17 mpg (4WD)
GREEN | 4 out of 10
Even in a class that includes some of the least fuel-efficient passenger vehicles sold in America, the Nissan Titan is a laggard.
The EPA rates this year's Titan at 12/17 mpg when it's fitted with four-wheel drive, and slightly better at 13/18 mpg as a two-wheel-drive truck. In our experience, real-world gas mileage numbers will fall to the lower end of the Titan's scale.
At issue: Nissan is the only manufacturer of full-size pickups sold in the U.S. that does not offer a V-6 engine. Some of its competitors may not offer very efficient V-6s, but all of them are better on gas than the Titan. The Titan is capable of running on E85 biofuel, but that option's really only realistic in the corn belt.
Conclusion
Gas-savers have nowhere to turn with the latest Nissan Titan.
