Heavy Duty Titan On The Way!


Quote:
Nissan will build a heavier-duty version of its Titan pickup in order to expand the lineup and compete head-to-head with Detroit automakers.

Nissan plans to redesign its big Titan pickup in mid-2009 and according to a report in Automotive News, a heavy-duty version will be part of the redesign. A diesel engine option will be part of the upgrade, but there's no word yet on who will supply the new engine. The truck will target domestic three-quarter-ton trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado 2500, Dodge Ram 2500 and Ford F-250.

Toyota later this year will begin assembling its redesigned 2007 Tundra pickup, and executives have said the company is studying the feasibility of adding a heavy-duty model to compete with similar products from Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford and GMC.

Girls will not like the Titan unless it has skills. Girls like trucks with skills... you know like numchuck skills, computer hacking skills...

Re: Heavy Duty Titan On The Way!

Hmmm, I was planning on buying a 3500 MegaCab, but I may wait an extra year to see what this new 3/4-ton will have to offer.

Vote for Pedro...

Hopefully they will have the bugs worked out by 2014 or so.

Re: Heavy Duty Titan On The Way!

I'm surprised they are waiting until mid 2009. With the new Tundra followed by the new GM's I expected them to have something for 2008.
