As much as the Titan carries through with what's familiar, it does include a number of feature changes for 2013. The availability of navigation, satellite radio, and a USB port has been expended, sliding sun visors have been added to all models, and a new rear reading lamp design has been added to Crew Cab models this year. There are also new wheels for much of the lineup, the PRO-4X off-road-oriented model gets a refreshed look, step rails have been added, and a 120-volt AC outlet has been added to the bed on top SL models (optional on others).
What hasn't changed is that four trim levels are offered: S, SV, PRO-4X, and SL. The S and SV trims are more basic work models, with a more rugged grade of interior finishes, while the PRO-4X and SL move into the luxurious personal-truck crowd. The PRO-4X brings with it a special set of features keyed directly at trailblazers of all kinds--with tow hooks, off-road tires, Rancho shocks, and a locking tailgate and locking storage box. And at the top of the lineup, the SL is as you would guess, a loaded, dressed-up street truck ready for a night out.
Base S models do include air conditioning, manual windows and locks, and a CD sound system, and the floor is vinyl, but even the Titan S comes with a split cloth bench seat and 60/40-split flip-up rear seat. SV models add alloy wheels, chrome exterior detailing, a removable locking tailgate, carpeting, additional gauges, keyless entry, an overhead console, map lights, and upgraded sound. With the PRO-4X you get tow hooks, skid playes, a receiver hitch, special Rancho shocks, a sliding rear window, cargo-area lamp, lockable bed-side storage box, Bluetooth, cruise control, power accessories, rear parking sensors, and all sorts of interior trim upgrades. Key features of the top-of-the-line SL model include a navigation system with USB port and satellite radio, dual-zone climate control, a cabin air filter, a rear power outlet, HomeLink, power-adjustable pedals and leather captain's chairs, heated front seats, and a rockin' Rockford Fosgate stereo.On various models, Bluetooth hands-free phone capability, XM Satellite Radio, heated/leather seats, and a DVD entertainment center are all available. The Premium Utility package adds a raft of towing and load-centric features to the PRO-4X; examples include power-adjustable pedals, a spray-on bedliner, Utili-Track cargo cleats, bed area lighting, towing mirrors, and the Rockford Fosgate audio system with a subwoofer. .
Conclusion
Bluetooth and high-end audio are offered, but the Titan lacks some of the advanced features of the Ram and Ford pickups.
