Tested vehicle: 2009 Nissan Titan SE Crew Cab 4x2 with optional front and rear head curtain airbags and optional front seat-mounted torso airbags
Rating applies to 2004-09 models
The Nissan Titan was introduced in the 2004 model year. Two tests of a 2009 Titan were conducted, one with optional side airbags for the driver and rear passenger, and one without. These vehicles are rated separately, except that the structural ratings for both vehicles are based on both tests. Beginning with 2010 models, the side airbags were made standard.

| Rear passenger head protection The side curtain airbag did not cover the entire window opening during deployment, and the dummy's head continued to move outward after it was contacted by the side airbag. Although the intruding barrier did not hit the dummy's head in this test, the head was not protected from contacts outside the vehicle. |
