2018 Nissan Titan Midnight Edition

2018 Nissan Titan Midnight Edition

I recently had the privilege to go on a press trip to visit San Saba, Texas. I drove the 2018 Nissan Titan Midnight Edition, courtesy of the Nissan Motor Company. The trip took place from September 19^th, 2018 through September 21^st, 2018. My starting destination was San Antonio and ended in San Saba, approximately 141 miles in length. The model I drove was the SV trim, crew cab body style. Here are some pros, cons, features, etc. of the 2018 Nissan Titan Midnight Edition.

Pros

Traveling in the 2018 Nissan Titan Midnight Edition was very comfortable. The cabin area and excellent passenger space made our trip pretty cozy, considering we spent a few hours at a time on the road. The powerful V8 engine made the drive smooth as we drove through the Texas Hill Country. The stylish look of the Midnight Edition definitely turned heads wherever we went and the upscale interior gave the truck a luxury feel. The Nissan Titan Midnight Edition has an outstanding warranty too!

Midnight Edition Features

I mentioned everywhere we drove, we turned heads, right? The Titan Midnight Edition is sporty, rugged, and tough and has 20-inch black alloy wheels. I love black door handles, exterior badging, fog lamp finisher, and mirrors. I especially liked the black step rails; they made it easy to get in and out of the truck. The dark charcoal interior trim and midnight edition floor mats put on the finishing touches to its look.
