Nissan Titan vs. GMC Sierra 3500HD Review

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Nissan Titan and the GMC Sierra 3500HD are genuine speedsters.

Handling
With their similar turning radii, the Sierra 3500HD and the Titan most definitely handle almost the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Nissan Titan's engine is somewhat smaller than the GMC Sierra 3500HD's, but not terribly so. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the Nissan isn't much more powerful than the GMC Sierra 3500HD.

Utility
The Nissan and the GMC can accommodate the same number of passengers. The GMC Sierra 3500HD is likely a better choice than the Nissan as far as transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of suitcases or big dogs. Towing is substantially more the GMC Sierra 3500HD's forte than it is the Nissan Titan's.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Sierra 3500HD offers a bit more head room than the Nissan Titan, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The Sierra 3500HD is not particularly roomier for your passengers than the Nissan Titan.

Dimensions
The GMC is tremendously heavier than the Nissan Titan. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the GMC Sierra 3500HD than the Nissan Titan because of its larger tank. The Nissan Titan and the GMC Sierra 3500HD compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Nissan Titan is substantially cheaper to get to the dealership than the GMC Sierra 3500HD. The Nissan Titan is significantly less pricey than the GMC Sierra 3500HD regarding MSRP.

Warranty
The Sierra 3500HD and the Titan have the same basic warranty.
