Nissan to Bring New Titan

Nissan’s Titan is one of the most prominent light-duty pickup truck in the current market, but despite its immense prominence Nissan has decided to take it off the market. No, it isn’t a bad new, it’s rather good news as they will be replacing it with a next-generation pickup truck. Though the replacement is not scheduled anytime in near future, but it definitely is one the cards and probably will take place in 2014. If you are a Nissan Titan owner and are thinking that it’s too long, then don’t worry, because the wait is totally worth, as you can get an all new heavy-duty pickup truck.

Last year was a tad hard for Nissan Titan. The complete sales for the pickup fell by 44.1 percent in comparison to year 2008 and the another blow came in the form of the failure of a timid deal with Chrysler after the development for more than a year for building next-generation Titan on the platform of Ram 1500 half-ton pickup. But according to the heads in Nissan, the Titan will be getting a turning point.

Speaking on the future expansions of Titan Larry Dominique, the vice president of advanced product planning and strategy of Nissan said “that the company had a pretty decent December from the market share point of view, and we were up by 28 percent in comparison to last year, in October, November and December, on a month-by-month basis. On the basis of market share, we were up by 41% for the aforementioned three months.”

IN order to attain the next-generation Titan, the greatest challenges in front of the company are the tougher fuel economy, stronger security regulations and upper body design. So it’s pretty clear that in order to attain the next-generation heavy duty Nissan Titan, the engineers at Nissan will have to go through some serious hard work. The reason behind this is the aspiration to make the next-generation Titan a light-duty pick-up for market.

The engineers along with Larry Dominique, the vice president of advanced product planning and strategy have done plethora of work to come up with a light weight vehicle, but still there is a long way to go. And even everything gets well, and the Nissan approves their project, the entire procedure of coming the light-weight Titan will take time, and hence till then let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope to get what we always have wanted.
