I bought my first-ever truck today, a 2021 Nissan Titan Pro-4X. Fully loaded and at a great price with the end-of-year deals and haggling. It's got the trusty VK56VD in it and the manual calls for 0w20 every 5k. This motor was revised for 2017 where they made it direct injection and bumped the power up via premium fuel, but it is still a tried-and-true design from the early 2000s.
Based on the PQIA analysis, the Nissan-branded 0w20 appears to be a pretty stout formula made by ExxonMobil. API SN / ILSAC GF-5.

This truck will be my new daily driver (the Corvette will become a weekend/track car) so will see a mix of short trips and highway runs. I will be towing the Corvette periodically as well. I'm thinking I will just stick with the Nissan oil unless there's a compelling reason not to. Discuss. Also, gratuitous truck photos below!
