Nissan Titan goes big rig - Automotive News

These spy shots are the clearest photos yet of Nissan’s big pickup. have already confirmed that a new Cummins-built 5. 0-liter turbodiesel V-8 will be an optional engine in the redesigned Titan. The styling of the second-gen Titan appears to borrow liberally from the Ram playbook, with larger headlights placed lower down on the front fenders, big-rig style and a much larger grille. The 2016 Titan is scheduled to arrive late next year. The new Titan arrives just as Ford will be hitting its stride with the new F-150. If cheap fuel prices last until the Titan arrives, that could give the truck a boost. Earlier this year, Fred Diaz jumped from Chrysler, where he headed Ram, to Nissan as the Japanese automaker’s senior vice president for sales, marketing and operations. Diaz, in a visit to Automotive News in February, said he requested a few changes to the next Titan and said he believes the truck will be competitive with domestic models. Source: www.autonews.com
