Development of the Titan began in September 1999, with design work under Diane Allen. Giovanny Arroba's TA60 exterior was chosen in late 2000, with a final production freeze in July 2001. The design language of the future truck was previewed by the 2001 Alpha T concept shown at the 2001 North American International Auto Show, which had previously developed through November 2000.

Production began on September 21, 2003, and sales on December 1, 2003.{{cite news|url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-jun-15-fi-nissan15-story.html |title=Along for the Ride |date=June 15, 2003 |first=John |last=O'Dell |newspaper=The Los Angeles Times |access-date=December 3, 2015}}{{cite web |url=http://www.just-auto.com/analysis/infiniti-goes-big_id86183.aspx |title=Infiniti Goes Big |date=March 23, 2004 |work=Just Auto |access-date=December 3, 2015 |archive-date=July 14, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714222657/http://www.just-auto.com/analysis/infiniti-goes-big_id86183.aspx |url-status=dead }} The Titan used Nissan's new full-size F-Alpha platform. This new platform was shared with the Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX56 SUVs, with all three manufactured in Canton, Mississippi, United States.{{Cite web |date=December 18, 2012 |title=Nissan Canton Prepares to Celebrate 10 Years of Manufacturing in Mississippi |url=https://usa.nissannews.com/en-US/releases/release-5a1c86dac5914929a890e7de4d09faf5-nissan-canton-prepares-to-celebrate-10-years-of-manufacturing-in-mississippi?selectedTabId=releases |access-date=July 16, 2023 |website=Nissan News USA}} The first generation Titan continued without a major redesign through 2015.

All models come standard with a 32-valve, 5.6-liter engine, VK56DE, which generates {{Convert|317|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} ({{convert|305|hp|kW|0|abbr=on|disp=or}} on 2004–2007 models) and {{convert|385|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque. The first generation Titan came equipped with a fully boxed ladder frame and was available in either rear-wheel drive or a shift-on-the-fly four-wheel-drive system coupled with a five-speed RE5R05A automatic transmission. An automatic brake-limited slip (ABLS) system was available on all Titans. The first generation was available as a King Cab (extended cab) or a crew cab with a full-sized back seat, with no regular cab being offered. The King Cab featured a {{convert|6|ft|7|in|adj=on}} bed, while the crew cab had a {{convert|5|ft|7|in|adj=on}} bed. In 2008, a longer wheelbase model was offered with either an {{convert|8|ft|3|in|adj=on}} bed on the King Cab or a {{convert|7|ft|3|in|adj=on}} bed on the crew cab. There were originally three trim levels available: XE, SE, and LE, each available with an Off-Road package on 4x4 models. The Pro-4X trim was introduced for the 2008 model year (4WD only). For the 2011 model year, all trim levels were updated - XE became S, SE became SV, and LE became SL, and the Pro-4X trim remained.{{Cite web|url=https://usa.nissannews.com/en-US/releases/release-0d577dabdefa4756a71838b2c19735d7-2011-nissan-titan-press-kit-3|title=2011 Nissan Titan Press Kit|date=January 1, 2011|website=Official U.S. Newsroom}} The S was the base model, the SV a mid-level model with more features, the Pro-4X was the off-road-oriented version, and the top level SL was offered with features like 20-inch alloy wheels as standard equipment.

The second-generation Titan was to be a lightly reskinned, rebadged version of the Dodge Ram, but those plans fell through with the 2008 worldwide financial crisis.{{Cite web|url=https://jalopnik.com/chrysler-to-produce-full-size-trucks-for-nissan-what-t-379676|title=Chrysler To Produce Full Size Trucks For Nissan, What The Truck?|website=Jalopnik|date=14 April 2008 }}{{Cite web|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15150459/next-gen-nissan-titan-to-get-most-dodge-ram-attributes-car-news|title=Next-Gen Nissan Titan to Get Most Dodge Ram Attributes|first=Alisa|last=Priddle|date=July 2, 2008|website=Car and Driver}}{{Cite web|url=https://news.pickuptrucks.com/2009/02/nissan-and-chrysler-halt-rambased-titan-effort.html|title=Nissan and Chrysler Halt Plans for Dodge Ram-Based Nissan Titan|website=PickupTrucks.com}}

Nissan unveiled the second generation Titan at the 2015 North American International Auto Show.{{cite web |url=http://www.slashgear.com/nissan-unveils-new-titan-xd-truck-in-detroit-with-cummins-diesel-option-13364175/ |title=Nissan unveils new Titan XD truck in Detroit with V8 Cummins diesel option |work=SlashGear |author=McGlaun, Shane |date=January 13, 2015 |access-date=July 6, 2015}} The company targeted 5 percent market share, or 100,000 annual sales in U.S.{{cite news |last1=Lippert |first1=John |title=Nissan Falls Short of Ghosn's Target for a Bigger Share of the U.S. Pickup Market |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-09/nissan-falls-short-of-full-size-u-s-pickup-share-ghosn-sought |access-date=6 June 2020 |work=www.bloomberg.com |date=9 February 2017}} Sales reached 21,880 units in 2016.

The standard engine is a 5.6-liter V8 gasoline engine.{{cite web | url=http://www.nissanusa.com/trucks/titan/versions-specs?tool=model.top_nav.section.link | title=2022 Nissan TITAN Specs & Prices | Nissan USA }} The engine increased in power compared to the previous model, producing {{Convert|390|hp|kW|abbr=on}} and {{convert|394|lbft|Nm|abbr=on}} of torque mated to a seven-speed automatic. Additionally, through the end of 2019,{{cite web|url=https://www.thedrive.com/news/29294/the-cummins-diesel-powered-nissan-titan-is-dead|title=Nissan Discontinues Diesel Titan|date=6 August 2019 |access-date=6 August 2019}} the second-generation Titan offered a {{convert|310|hp|kW|adj=on}} Cummins 5.0-liter turbodiesel V8 that produces almost {{convert|555|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque. The engine is referred to as the ISV.{{cite web|url=http://cumminsengines.com/cummins-5L-V8-turbo-diesel|title=Cummins 5.0 Turbo V8|access-date=21 August 2013}}

The second-generation Titan is available in two forms, regular and XD. The XD version is built on a heavy-duty frame based on Nissan's commercial vehicle line and includes the Cummins diesel engine as an option. The platform is shared with the Nissan NV.

Three different cab styles are offered for the Titan and Titan XD: a two-door regular cab, four-door King (extended) Cab, and four-door crew cab. The four-door crew cab models were the first trucks to debut, followed by the King Cab and regular cab. Trim levels for the Titan and Titan XD are S, SV, Pro-4X (4X4 only), SL, and Platinum Reserve. The regular cab was only available with either S or SV trim levels, while the King Cab was only available with S, SV, or PRO-4X. The crew cab was available with all trim levels.

All Titan and Titan XD models come equipped with standard equipment such as Bluetooth for both hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming via A2DP, air conditioning, keyless entry, power windows and door locks, push-button ignition, and a rearview backup camera system. Options include a touchscreen audio system with GPS navigation (standard equipment for 2019), SiriusXM Satellite Radio, keyless access, an electronically-locking rear tailgate, remote start, alloy wheels, leather-trimmed seating surfaces with heating and ventilation, power front seats, a premium audio system, wood interior trim, a trailer tow package with integrated trailer brake control, and chrome front and rear bumpers and front grille.

For 2019, all Titan and Titan XD models received a new infotainment system as standard equipment, featuring GPS navigation, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and a seven-inch color touchscreen display, and the optional Rockford-Fosgate premium audio system was replaced with a new Fender premium audio system. This marks the first time a Fender audio system is available on a vehicle from a manufacturer other than Volkswagen.

For 2020, Nissan unveiled a refreshed Titan and Titan XD. For 2020, the regular cab model was dropped from both the standard and XD lines, and King Cab models of the Titan XD were no longer available. The 5.0 L Cummins turbo-diesel V8 engine that was available on the heavier-duty Titan XD was also discontinued, leaving only the 5.6 L "Endurance" gasoline V8.{{Cite web|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a28625175/nissan-titan-xd-diesel-dead/|title=Nissan Is Getting Rid of the Titan XD's Cummins Diesel Engine for 2020|first=Charles|last=Dryer|date=August 6, 2019|website=Car and Driver}} A new nine-speed Jatco automatic transmission replaced the previous seven-speed automatic transmission.{{Cite web|url=https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1125231_2020-nissan-titan-pickup-truck-revealed-tougher-looks-more-gears-more-tech|title=2020 Nissan Titan pickup truck revealed: Tougher looks, more gears, more tech|website=Motor Authority|date=26 September 2019 }} New for 2020 Nissan's V8 makes {{convert|400|hp}} and {{convert|413|lbft}} (up from {{cvt|390|hp|kW|disp=or}} and {{cvt|394|lbft|N.m|disp=or}}.)

The Titan lineup was discontinued in Canada after the 2021 model year, citing low sales figures as the cause.{{Cite web |date=2020-08-14 |title=Nissan Titan Dies in Canada After 2021, Lives on in the U.S. |url=https://www.motortrend.com/news/2021-nissan-titan-discontinued-canada-us-details/ |access-date=2022-03-30 |website=MotorTrend |language=en}}

In August 2023, Nissan confirmed that the Titan will be discontinued after the 2024 model year due to poor sales compared to the mid-size Frontier. They will be exiting the full-size truck segment to focus on building EV sedans.{{Cite web|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a44751227/nissan-titan-pickup-dead/?src=socialflowTW|title=Nissan Titan Pickup Killed, Ends Production Next Year|website=Car And Driver|access-date=2023-08-07}}
