Used 2021 Nissan Titan for Sale nearPhoenix, AZ

How much does the 2021 Nissan Titan cost?

Prices have softened 6.26% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 722 listings available, which gives you a decent amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2021 Nissan Titan a good car?

Yes — it earns 4.82/5 from owners and 8.17/10 from our experts. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise the powerful engine, comprehensive safety features, and strong value. They also frequently call out the comfort and performance on and off the road, which fits a truck that aims to be practical for daily use without giving up capability.

The main trade-offs are limited bed and cab configurations and poor fuel economy. In context, that means you should think of the Titan as a comfort-leaning full-size pickup rather than the most flexible or efficient one in the class.

The market also looks reasonably healthy, with 32.3% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2021 Nissan Titan reliable?

Owners rate it 4.82/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a truck people feel good about keeping, with praise for being dependable, value-rich, and strong over time. The review summary also emphasizes the Titan’s great warranty, which supports confidence in long-term ownership.

The expert notes reinforce that impression by highlighting the Titan’s strong standard powertrain and its straightforward, easy-to-use setup. The warranty coverage is also a meaningful ownership perk, especially if you plan to keep the truck for years.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a truck with this much capability can hide wear if it has been worked hard, so condition and maintenance history matter.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Nissan Titan?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any truck you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection if the truck has towing, hauling, or off-road use in its past. Focus on overall condition, because a well-kept Titan should feel solid, but a hard-used one can show it quickly.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Titan comes in three King Cab grades and five Crew Cab trim levels, with each grade carrying its own design identity. The base Titan S and Titan SV use dark grilles, while the Titan SL gets a bright chrome grille and the Platinum Reserve uses satin chrome. The Pro-4X adds a black grille and lava-red accents, so you can use the exterior details to separate the more basic trucks from the better-equipped ones.
• Powertrain: You get one engine: a 5.6-liter V8 with 400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque. It pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission, and you can choose rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The truck is tuned for strong everyday acceleration rather than efficiency, and premium fuel is required to reach its output figures.
• Safety package: Every Titan gets Nissan Safety Shield 360, which includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, high beam assist, and rear automatic braking. It also includes forward-collision warning and parking sensors, while features like Around View Monitor, adaptive cruise control, driver-alertness monitor, traffic-sign recognition, and rear door alert are available.
• Infotainment: The standard screen is a 9.0-inch WXGA touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, two USB ports, and satellite radio are standard. Navigation, HD Radio, additional USB ports, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote start, a power-sliding rear window, and a household-style power outlet are available.
• Fuel efficiency: The Titan is rated at 18 mpg combined with either drivetrain. Rear-wheel-drive models return 16 mpg city and 21 mpg highway, while four-wheel-drive models return 15 mpg city and 21 mpg highway.

Which 2021 Nissan Titan trim should I buy?

The 2021 Nissan Titan is offered in 8 trim levels: S, SV, SL, Pro-4X, Platinum Reserve, S King Cab, SV King Cab, and Pro-4X King Cab.

Here's the short version:

• S: This is the entry point, and it gives you the Titan’s core strengths without the extra appearance or comfort upgrades found higher up. It makes sense if you want the standard V8, the full safety suite, and the large infotainment screen at the lowest rung.
• SV: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds a more polished feel while staying below the luxury-oriented trims. If you want the Titan’s strong standard equipment but don’t need the flashiest cabin or exterior details, this is the trim to target.
• SL: This trim steps up with a bright chrome grille and a more upscale presentation. It suits you if you want a more premium look without going all the way to the top.
• Pro-4X: This is the off-road-focused choice, with hill-descent control and an electronic locking rear differential. It also gets unique visual touches, so it’s the one to buy if you want the Titan’s most adventurous character.
• Platinum Reserve: This is the most upscale-looking version, with satin chrome exterior details and the most premium design identity in the lineup. It fits you best if comfort and appearance matter more than price.

Every Titan includes Nissan Safety Shield 360, so even the lower trims start with a strong safety foundation.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Nissan Titan?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on a strong listing.

• Deal availability: 32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 722 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.26% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 76.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $30,243, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Nissan Titan's resale value?

The current average of $30,347 sits slightly below last year's $32,372.

That decline suggests the Titan has become more affordable for buyers, which can help demand from shoppers looking for value. For a future seller, that means you may not see the same pricing strength you would have a year ago, especially if the market stays soft.

Even so, the Titan’s pricing still sits in a fairly tight range, which can help keep resale expectations more predictable. Well-kept trucks with strong equipment and clean history should remain easier to market than rougher examples.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.82/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Nissan Titan safe?

The 2021 Nissan Titan earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Every Titan comes with Nissan Safety Shield 360, which includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, high beam assist, and rear automatic braking. It also adds forward-collision warning and parking sensors, with Around View Monitor, adaptive cruise control, driver-alertness monitor, traffic-sign recognition, and rear door alert available.

That standard safety setup is a major strength, especially because it gives you a broad driver-assist foundation even before you move up the trim ladder. If you want the most advanced features, you’ll need to check the specific truck carefully, since some items are optional rather than standard.

Should I buy a 2021 Nissan Titan or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.26% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.82/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2021 brings a strong mix of standard power, technology, and safety features.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $26,439, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $30,347 average.
• It offers major strides in technology, safety, and overall value.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $29,738, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $30,347 average.
• It adds an appealing value proposition with a quiet cabin and stylish design.

The bottom line: if you want the most balanced mix of equipment, safety, and owner satisfaction, the 2021 is the strongest all-around pick. If your priority is saving money, the 2020 is the better value play, while the 2022 is worth a look if you want a slightly newer truck without paying more than the 2021 average.
