If you’re looking to purchase one of the most powerful full-size pickup trucks on the market, you’ve probably been comparing the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 vs 2019 Nissan Titan. Both vehicles offer some of the highest performance specs on the market, as well as an abundance of other impressive features. However, the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 has the edge over the 2019 Nissan Titan in more than one automotive category.
The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 is simply one of the most powerful and capable trucks available on the market. It has a high maximum towing capacity of 12,500 LBS and produces up to 420 hp. The Sierra is popular among consumers for its multiple engine options, which allows drivers to customize their performance and efficiency needs to their exact requirements. However, the Sierra is even popular for its upscale interior and advanced standard entertainment features. For the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 this includes a 7-inch touchscreen display and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Meanwhile, the 2019 Nissan Titan is another incredibly powerful and capable vehicle, offering a towing capacity of up to 9,660 LBS and producing up to 390 hp. However, these numbers are lower than the Sierra’s and consumers criticize the Titan for only offering one engine option. The 2019 Nissan Titan does offer a nearly identical standard entertainment suite as the 2019 GMC Sierra and a nice set of safety features, however, it is the more expensive vehicle between the two.
If you’re looking for performance, entertainment, and safety at an affordable price, you’ll want to choose the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 over the 2019 Nissan Titan. However, it’s important to take a closer look at these two impressive vehicles before making a final decision.
When it comes to performance, the 2019 GMC Sierra vs 2019 Nissan Titan are close competitors. Both pickup trucks offer high power and capability ratings, however the Sierra offers more customizable configurations and is more efficient.
The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 offers drivers up to five engine options, all of which are powerful, capable, and efficient. The most efficient engine of the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 is its standard 2.7L 4-cylinder engine which earns fuel economy ratings of up to 20 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. But drivers looking for the most powerful configuration will want to opt for one of the Sierra’s V8 engine, including a 5.3L V8 engine (also available with dynamic fuel management) and a 6.2L V8 engine. The 6.2L V8 engine offers a maximum towing capacity of 12,500 LBS and produces up to 420 hp and 460 lb-ft torque. These are class-leading numbers for the full-size pickup truck class and provide drivers with an incredible level of performance and capability. Drivers looking to use their new vehicle to transport equipment to and from the worksite or to tow recreational equipment on long weekends and family vacations will find the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 incredibly useful and more than powerful enough for their needs.
The 2019 Nissan Titan only offers drivers one engine option, making it impossible to prioritize between efficiency and power. While the standard 5.6L V8 engine is not very efficient, it is very powerful. The 2019 Nissan Titan has a maximum towing capacity of 9,660 LBS which is lower than but nearly identical capability of the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500. However, the Titan falls much shorter when it comes to horsepower and torque, only producing up to 390 hp and 394 lb-ft torque. While these are still high numbers for its class, they are lower than what is offered on the less expensive 2019 GMC Sierra 1500. Overall, either vehicle will offer more than enough power and capability for the average driver’s needs. However, the 2019 GMC Sierra offers better performance specs in towing capacity, horsepower, torque, payload, and fuel economy.
Whether you’re planning on using your next truck for work or recreation, staying connected and entertained is always a plus. Thankfully, both the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2019 Nissan Titan offer generous entertainment suites that are packed with standard and available features.
GMC vehicles are known for their upscale interior and premium standard features, while the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 is a rugged vehicle, it is no exception to this reputation. Standard on the base model of the Sierra drivers can enjoy a 7-inch touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and a USB port. The GMC infotainment system onboard the Sierra is one of the highest rated systems on the market for its user-friendly and intuitive design. This modern entertainment suite is further enhanced by a clean, sleek design and premium cabin materials. Meanwhile, drivers can also choose to upgrade to available entertainment features like a larger touchscreen display, navigation, additional USB ports, satellite radio, and a built-in WiFi hotspot. Available features on the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 also include wireless charging for compatible devices and a 7-speaker sound system.
The 2019 Nissan Titan features a similar list of standard features as the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500, including Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, one USB port, and a 7-inch touchscreen display. However, the Titan has a slightingly lower starting MSRP at $30,590 compared to the Sierra’s starting price of $33,500. Nissan is also not a manufacturer that is known for having particularly upscale interiors, and while the interior does feature a modern design it does not offer the same high-quality materials as the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500. However, drivers can choose to upgrade to advanced entertainment features for an additional cost including an upgraded infotainment system with navigation, Siri Eyes Free, and even a 10-12 speaker Fender sound system. While these are among some of the most premium entertainment features on the market, critics note that Nissan’s infotainment system feels dated compared to its competitors and offers a number of unnecessary physical controls which clutter the design of the cabin. If you’re looking for a premium interior with advanced entertainment features, the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 is the better overall value.
Both the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2019 Nissan Titan offer advanced safety features. This is especially important given their high levels of power and capability, as drivers should always feel confident about the safety of themselves and those around them when transporting large equipment. Onboard the Sierra and Titan you’ll find a few similar safety features, however the Sierra offers more standard features and a longer list of available safety features than the Titan.
The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 comes standard with both a rearview camera and GMC’s Teen Driver technology, which allows parents to set specific volume and speed restrictions for their new drivers. The Sierra also offers a long list of available driver assist technologies including lane keep assist, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, rear cross traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, pedestrian detection, and blind spot monitoring. The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 also offers a safety alert seat, head-up display, and surround view camera. If you’re looking for as many driver assist features as possible, the new Sierra is your ideal match.
The 2019 Nissan Titan offers a rearview camera as standard on its base model. Meanwhile, its list of available features is fairly short but includes blind spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, a surround-view camera, and rear cross traffic alert. While these are advanced safety features, a few consumer favorites are certainly missing and given the Titan’s starting MSRP this is a shock to many consumers. The 2019 Nissan Titan also only scored a 4-star overall rating from the NHTSA, while the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 scored a perfect 5-star overall rating. While both vehicles are safe options, the Sierra offers more standard and available features, without needing to upgrade trim levels. Plus, its higher overall safety rating from the NHTSA is hard to ignore.
