The 5 Worst Cars at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show

Nissan Titan

Nissan's new truck model has many features that make it a capable full-sized pick-up, improved from its previous model. It needs to do more, though, to stand out against such major names as the Ford F-150, the Chevy Silverado and Dodge RAM. Nissan hasn't provided a particularly compelling reason for extremely brand-loyal truck owners to switch over. Yes, the Titan can tow more than 12,000 pounds and has a powerful Cummins diesel engine that results in projected 20 percent better fuel economy than a gasoline-powered V8 while towing full loads. Front storage has been increased 33 percent and rear storage 28 percent over the previous generation. But the competitors also plenty of significant perks, especially the 150, which won Truck of the Year at the show.
