The Nissan Titan is featured in the television show Desperate Housewives.


A convoy of brawny Nissan Titan pickups will ride into the new Warner Brothers film Dukes of Hazzard in August, while the Quest minivan will shuttle children in an NBC reality show called Meet Mister Mom.

These Mississippi-made vehicles aren't new to the screen.

Most recently, parked on Wisteria Lane of ABC's highly watched Desperate Housewives, was the Titan.

In one episode, the Titan's tailgate emblazoned with the Nissan badge was visible for more than 20 million viewers to see behind a shirtless Jim Denton who plays plumber Mike Delfino.

The Quest also was sighted in a USA Network's Monk episode.

And as the true story of seven strangers living under one roof unfolded for the 15th season on MTV's Real World in Philadelphia, Pa., there was an ample Armada sport utility vehicle to transport the pack.

But they changed the nameplate on the Titan shown on Desparate Houswives. It doesn't say Nissan OR Titan. I'm sure someone here can remember the name...I can't remember it offhand.

Its very true. I would personally give these trucks away for advertisement if I was promotions manager.

A Nissan 350 Z driven by Edie Britt, played by actress Nicollette Sheridan is in numerous episodes of Desperate Housewives.
