The redesigned Nissan Titan<\/a> has earned only a marginal rating in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety\u2019s small overlap front crash test.<\/p>\n

The test is designed to replicate what happens when the front, driver-side corner of a vehicle hits another vehicle or an object such as a tree or utility pole.<\/p>\n

In the small overlap test of the Titan, the driver space wasn\u2019t maintained well, with intrusion reaching 11 inches at the lower door hinge pillar. Measures taken from the driver dummy indicated that injuries to the left lower leg would be likely in a real-world crash of the same severity. Left foot and right lower leg injuries also would be possible.<\/p>\n

The Titan earned good ratings in the other crashworthiness tests \u2014 moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints. It doesn\u2019t have an available front crash prevention system, and both available headlight systems are rated marginal.<\/p>\n

The performance of the Titan crew cab contrasts with another large pickup that was redesigned for 2017, the Honda Ridgeline<\/a>. The Ridgeline, which was included in the initial list of Top Safety Pick+ winners announced in December, is the only pickup so far to earn a 2017 award from IIHS and the third, after the Ford F-150 crew cab and extended cab, to achieve good ratings in all five of the Institute\u2019s crashworthiness tests.<\/p>\n

The small overlap test is the most difficult of the IIHS crashworthiness tests, but manufacturers have adjusted their designs to meet the challenge since the test was introduced in 2012. In most popular vehicle classes, the majority of vehicles now earn a good rating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
