Somehow Nissan will bring a successor to the Titan pickup truck to market, although it's not known how or when. In an interview with InsideLine, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn said that the Titan will remain. "Titan will have a replacement," he said. "We are staying in the large pickup truck market."
The next Titan was expected to be a rebadged version of the new Dodge Ram, but Chrysler canceled plans for that project shortly after emerging from bankruptcy protection.
That being said, Nissan may continue to use an updated version of the current Titan's platform, which also underpins vehicles like the Armada, Pathfinder, Xterra, Frontier and Infiniti QX56.
A big part of the SEMA Show each year (both in terms of quantity and, well, size) is the truck and off-road industry. Some trucks get lowered suspensions and some lifted, some run on supercharged 4-cylinders, while others rely on massive turbocharged diesel units. Yet despite all that divides some truck lovers from others, they all seem to equally love to modify their rigs – often to the extreme.
We've gathered together a collection of all (or almost all) of the trucks at the 2009 SEMA Show for you to peruse. We also explored some of the trucks in more detail, including the Dodge Ram Bianco, DeWALT 2011 F-Series Super Duty, the new 411-hp F-150 SVT Raptor, the Toyota Tundra Hot Rod and the Chevy Silverado ZR2.
Held each year in Las Vegas, Nevada, the SEMA Show is an industry event for the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association.
Tuners and parts suppliers from across the industry and even from the realm of motorsports come to show off their wares, usually displayed on some sort of eye-catching highly-modified vehicle - be it a muscle car, hot rod or sport compact car.
And let's not forget the increasing presence of mainstream manufacturers like Hyundai, Scion, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Chrysler and Dodge. Major areas of interest at SEMA include Racing and Performance, Wheels and Tires, as well as Trucks, SUVs and Off-Road vehicles.

As Japan's largest auto show, the Tokyo Motor Show will be somewhat smaller for 2009 than in years past as no foreign automakers will be displaying or announcing new products. Still, the show will hardly be empty with Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru and Suzuki all taking advantage of the more centralized focus on the Japanese auto industry, with most of the automakers introducing numerous new production and concept cars.
Some of the most highly anticipated launches include the Lexus LF-A, Honda CR-Z, Subaru Hybrid Tourer Concept, Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV, Mazda Kiyora Concept and the joint Toyota-Subaru project the FT-86 Concept. We'll bring constant updates will official unveilings happening on October 21st.
