Review: 2017 Nissan Titan Pro-4X XD
HOW 2017 Nissan Titan in 1500 compare with the rest in IIHS Crash Test Ratings.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety IIHS recently completed crash tests and evaluation of the Nissan Titan 2017 1500 How the new Titan compare its security rivals are not something to take for granted is important in any vehicle and full-size pickups are no exception.
Vehicle safety of IIHS measures eight categories, and they use four grades to communicate poor safety ratings, marginal, acceptable and good.
The cabin crew Titan scored better than the Toyota Tundra and Ram 1500 All three of these trucks registered a marginal score on the small overlap crash test before they do not have collision avoidance systems before, such an alert or automatic braking systems.
Here is a video of the crash test small overlap front Titan supplied by the IIHS.
The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 are slightly better than the Titan except anchoring points for child seats usability However, GMC trucks also posted a marginal score in small tests before overlapping Silverado headlights get a bad rating.
IIHS measures the lighthouse ability to illuminate the front area of the vehicle without any negative impact on traffic oncoming.
The Ford F-150 is the only truck in the segment with 2016 Top Safety Pick rating from the IIHS It takes the best scores in all crash tests, but also shows a bad score for the headlights.
In summary, the 2017 Titan does not take the honors in safety ratings from IIHS, but is at the same level or better than most of the class.

I wonder if the headlights of trucks get poor scores because of their height, it is obvious that everyone knows how to make good lighting, but there are regulations on the height beam Anyone notice how the new cars have separate cut beam head You really he remarks against a garage door, I wonder if this has something to do with the trucks they can not lights beam into a longer path because it will cause problems with the height of the beam.
I think you are on the right track The rating is poor due to the effect of their lights on other cars, not because they give poor visibility to the driver.
My mistake on the origin of the IIHS However, the same scenario and analysis above are still valid regardless of where IIHS came and I still see the methods and data that I am old enough to have been around the block with almost all poor procedures and ridiculous as you can imagine maybe a group, you can not imagine even so, the big 3 questions that remain are 1 Scale effects and distinctions class; 2 Sensitivity settings phenomenon; 3 Repeatability of results on resampling i variance and standard e std in the data.
Frankly, a crash test doesn t mean much what the limits of two sigma manufacturing integrity among all manufacturers of pickup trucks, chassis for strength and resistance to crushing 2 5 10 If it is the same 10, a new test could put the Titan acceptable in the above scenario.
What could be more amateurism is so crash tests were simply evaluated subjectively, without any measures maybe just looked evaluator ink stains on the face of the dummy and said he thought he had look worse for laughter Titan Don t I've seen it all before Who knows if the assessor just didn t like the new Titan for the same reason not related to this question, we will never know, unless the IIHS publishes all on this test.
I for one don t mind having these tests Especially now when there is an alarming rate of texting drivers and driving on lap accidents seems to be more prevalent However, as with anything else, he can go to the sea in the constant battle for the best there is more add more e s to prevent accidents and avoid it adds to the cost of which many are standard and should be standard This adds to the bottom line, I want a safe vehicle and especially for my whole family can say they are a safe driver, but you can be hit with a stop light and not even move safer vehicles also leads to less injury is invaluable when you was hit and did not even know, but in the end, all this cost consumers more money the question is, how to stop.
Despite the Chevrolet ad campaign to make people feel safe in an aluminum cage with a grizzly bear, it is the box of beer makes the best in crash tests.
These standardized tests have been done for years and manufacturers have learned to play with their vehicles system work very well on these specific tests, but that does not necessarily mean that the vehicle is extremely safe, the evidence was when the small overlap test was released Nobody had time to prepare despite the fact that small overlap tests are very common in real life, 90 of the cars tested in the early years were very badly only brands known for safety, such as Volvo do OK and despite the fact many F-150, they are gaming the system and they installed bracing behind the front wheels, which helps ace the test first cheating by installing on crew cab truck save money it is useful course that mean the F-150 is extremely safe Not necessarily.
Now, a word about the lighthouses of these tests are stupid Larger space vehicles Panning how they light the corners Many of these vehicles have extremely bright headlights with a long reach and very good The lighting F-150 quad beam LED headlamps; among the brightest on high performance beam market is not even evaluated by this test, but apparently they do t light on the sides of the road and when you go to a Dumb corner.
And the new category of nothing more accident avoidance of a federal push to try to get people in the autonomous cars.
I find your comment stupid in the extreme A simple Google search will show you how the lights are assessed 1 The headlights are evaluated on track after dark to the vehicle research center IIHS A special measuring device the light of two lower beams and high beams as the vehicle is driven on five different approaches straight traveling, a strong left curve, right curve Forking, progressive left curve and a curve progressive right.
2 After a vehicle is tested on the track, the IIHS engineers compare its visibility measures and glare to those of a hypothetical ideal headlight system and use a demerit points system to determine the rating results for the low beams are weighted more heavily than the high beams because they are used more often reads on the straight are more heavily weighted than those on curves, as most accidents occur on straight sections of road that you can see your assumptions are wrong someone I was talking F250 in 2012, stressed that his real complaint is the flagship I drive a lot at night and fleet from 1983 to 2016, I will submit the 2016 thatthe lights are slightly better that the glass lens 94 and a substantially worse than the replacement of the sealing beam available for 83 regarding safety I can say a vehicle is shedding light 350 feet ahead is the minimum cushion of security when you're cruising at 75-85 MPH legal in Texas and steps of deer in the road.
Thank you for your clarification I had read a summary that appeared to indicate the beam has not been evaluated, but it seems they were, maybe just less weighted.
I also owned a 2012 Super Duty, and headlights were poor.
My complaint of this study is that I do not think the light measurements translate well in the experience of real life by drivers I have driven many cars that would be considered to have excellent flagship Audi A8 with HID Mercedes E320 with HID Rover LR3 adaptive bi-xenon lights, BMW X5 adaptive bi-xenon, etc. I also have driven other vehicles with very good halogen lamps Range Rover 4 0SE pocket with twin halogen, VW GTI, and maybe a few others I thoroughly driving at night during good weather and also during heavy rain and snow, I live in northern New England.
I ma driving a 2017 Ford Super Duty with full LED lighting set each external light is LED fog lights high and low lights, tail, turn signals, etc. This truck uses LED elements identical to those is possibly the new F-150, but in a different lamp housing These lights exceed the brightness of any other they light that I knew not to adapt, for example see in the area, but the beam is very good LED fog lights are quite functional, as opposed to those who are not for looks.
I would also complain the tests do not take into account the HID LED lights have advantages with regard to performance in inclement weather These types of lights are much more visible to other drivers during poor visibility compared to halogen LIGHTS the switch from low to high beam is accomplished much faster LED HID lamps simply don t wash on wet pavement in the rain as do this by halogen only advantage, I think these lights should be classified as halogens.
Th US standard for beam focusing headlights is virtually nonexistent and below the European standard Please read the attached article and learn something.
I agree that the headlights themselves are mounted too high, however, if you put them in the bumper where they should be, the appearance of the vehicle will look strange and almost nobody will buy based seems Gen1 Ridgeline is a testament to people preferring to look at the functionality.
Thus, no mfr will be the first to ride their headlights in the right place, unless the federal-government mandate that won t happen for at least four years IIHS can be completely emptied then, too.
Ford kind of fact that 08-16 Superduty headlights were below the fire lit parking The 08-2010 were not my favorite styles, but they did better on the new course, I could eat my words because the Jeep Cherokee has head lights in the bumper, I remember reading the journalists say the lights drawn on this sUV.
The star rating from me curious rather they tested the lights only truck lower trim level seen in the crash test, or do they also test higher-level finishing Nissan models with real HIDs which is one the few trucks if the only truck on the market with genuine HID and a height adjustment function allowing you to make up a load in the bed or trailer to the trailer.
If they tested a Titan with HID lamps up higher trim level range, so I'm really shocked the SL and the Titan s cut platinum have lights really well.
Nissan in the higher trim levels probably good headlights Many trucks have a real HID everything you mean that it is now standard on all GM trucks of a half-ton, even the work trucks with vinyl seats and AM FM radios But regardless, they tested Ford with optional full LED headlights and claimed he still hurts These lights are spectacularly bright.
No excuse for these results really, I'm sure the double Titan King Cab will be better if he never comes out is, and anyone really care when it is.
I ordered regular taxis for now there are two weeks, the dealer said they could also start ordering King Cabs that week, I fully expect to see the debut of the cabin of the King at the show Chicago next month I expect to see on dealer lots in March.
N I saw a dull wall that has no kind of energy absorbing material in front of it or some sort to protect the guard rail on the entire road network in America either meditate all.
Tellphone poles give some break even, but that would be my stupid chance I'd hit a bastard and would like this wall blunt the blow of Titan wouldn t give up a fraction of an inch.
Mark, if I remember well the test is designed to replicate two cars collide at speed The wall is a known factor in the test so that they can be accurate in the data I think these are crash test at 35 mph hitting the wall replicate 2 cars collide at 65 mph or something like that.
A solid wall does not replicate two cars collide, the wall does not crush factor while vehicles have crush factors I saw small cars rear full-size cars full size car and was crushed into the back end while the small car had little damage.
Sorry, but a solid barrier crash is only good for a vehicle of a solid barrier.
Thank you Jimmy I was always curious how fast the wall was in motion.
When you know that there will be a frontal crash and a flash in your mind before the impact you've seen this exact video You know your screwed before impact Now that's sad.
