2022 Nissan Titan

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Titan.

Transmission Automatic (S9)

The 2022 Nissan Titan full-size pickup pairs a 9-speed automatic transmission with EPA ratings of 16 mpg city, 21 highway, and 18 combined. Its engine requires 6.9 quarts of 0W-20 oil, a specification that supports everyday durability. With only 13 owner complaints and 4 recalls—most related to the power train—this model year continues the Titan’s steep reliability improvement from a peak of 1,046 complaints in 2004 to a low of just 10 in 2014.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant every 7,500 mi. The big-interval services (every 7,500 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2022 Nissan Titan belongs to the generation that launched with a significant quality dip in 2017, which recorded 172 complaints, 3 recalls, and 246 TSBs—a pattern typical of new redesigns. The federal record shows a consistent downward trajectory through the early model years: 2018 dropped to 90 complaints with 2 investigations opened, 2019 fell further to 43 complaints, and 2020 reached its lowest point at 21 complaints despite 5 recalls. The 2022 data itself is limited in the provided record, though the available complaint breakdown shows 5 Power Train complaints as the dominant category, with single complaints in hybrid categories involving forward collision avoidance. Notably, there are zero crash-related complaints and zero fire-related complaints for the 2022 model year. The trend across this generation suggests that early-model-year issues were largely addressed by the 2019–2020 period, placing 2022 in what appears to be a matured, stable portion of the product cycle. **Concrete takeaway:** The 2022 Titan benefits from the generational refinement visible in declining complaint counts, and the absence of crash or fire complaints is a meaningful positive signal—making it a comparatively safer purchase within this generation compared to the 2017–2018 launch period.
