2018 Nissan Titan vs. 2019 Honda Ridgeline

The Nissan Titan truck bed is slightly more than a foot longer than the truck bed of the Honda Ridgeline, but both are more than capable of storing and transporting a significant amount of cargo. But if you plan on doing any towing at all, you’ll be much happier behind the wheel of the Titan:

• Nissan Titan Towing Capacity: 9,740 pounds when properly equipped
• Honda Ridgeline Towing Capacity: 5,000 pounds when properly equipped

In addition, both pickup trucks offer maximum payloads of more than 1,500 pounds: 1,586 for the Ridgeline, and 1,951 for the Titan.

The Nissan Titan engine is significantly larger, and significantly stronger, than what you’ll find in the Ridgeline:

• Nissan Titan
  • 5.6-Liter V8
  • 390 hp at 5,800 RPM
  • 394 lb-ft @ 4,000 RPM

• Honda Ridgeline
  • 3.5-Liter V6
  • 280 hp at 6,000 RPM
  • 262 lb-ft @ 4,700 RPM

The Nissan Titan drivetrains are more durable, and they also offer better handling. In their baseline trim levels, the Honda Ridgeline offers front-wheel drive, while the Nissan Titan offers rear-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is available in every Nissan Titan trim level. All-wheel drive only becomes available on the Ridgeline Sport trim level.
