Great news Seattle truck fans â€“ the 2018 Nissan Titan King Cab was recently named the "2018 Rocky Mountain Truck of the Year," nabbing the top spot for the second year in a row at the annual Rocky Mountain Automotive Press Awards. Voted on by some of the industryâ€™s best journalists, the Titan was presented its award during the Charity Preview Party at the Denver Auto Show.

"The Rocky Mountains feature some of the best off-road terrain America has to offer, and the area is also home to some of the top truck enthusiasts in the country," said Tiago Castro, Director, Light Commercial Vehicles Sales & Marketing, Nissan North America, Inc., in a press release. "Because of that, this award holds a great amount of significance, and we are thrilled for the Titan lineup to take home top honors in back-to-back years."

But, the 2018 Titan isnâ€™t just ideal for the Rocky Mountains â€“ itâ€™s the perfect truck for the PNW and its varied terrain, weather conditions and commercial industries within our region. The King Cab version offers available seating for six with wide-opening rear doors and an optional "rear seat delete" option, which is great for business use with its flat floor and secure in-cab storage space.Â

Offered in 4x4 and 4x2 drive and three grade levels (S, SV and PRO-4X), the Titan also comes equipped with a 390-horsepower 5.6-liter Endurance V8 engine and seven-speed automatic transmission. For those that need heavy hauling, this is the truck to drive, as the Titan King Cab offers an available maximum towing capacity of 9,420 lbs and a max payload of 1,640 lbs.Â

2018 nissan titan best price in seattle washington

Great news, Seattle trunk enthusiasts! For the first time ever, Nissan is offering a factory-authorized suspension lift kit for the Titan and Titan XD full-size pickups.Â

The kits, developed by California-based ICON Vehicle Dynamics, offer a more aggressive exterior appearance, increased ground clearance and a suspension lift of up to three inches. It will be available for order this spring on Titan and Titan XD Crew Cab 4x4 models - just in time to hit the PNW's muddy trails.

According to Nissan, the automaker partnered with ICON since they are a well-respected name in the suspension lift-engineering industry, known for their quality and craftsmanship. The kit they developed is easy to install, maintains the Titan and Titan XD's payload and towing capabilities, plus it allows the trucks to be returned to stock, offering drivers greater flexibility come resale or end-of-lease trade-in.

To install the suspension lifts, no drilling or cutting is necessary; rather, they conveniently bolt-on. The kits include specially-tuned adjustable-height coil-over shock absorbers, custom rod end bearings and patent-pending Delta Joints.Â

The Nissan Titan Brings Improved Safety Ratings to Seattle, Washington

Thereâ€™s great news coming out of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The automotive safety agency recently reported that the Nissan Titan Crew Cab pickup has improved its rating in the driver-side small overlap front test, lifting its score from Marginal to Good. The new rating applies to models built after August 2017 when Nissan modified the front-end structure to improve occupant protection.

The IIHSâ€™s small overlap test, which was introduced in 2012, reproduces front left corner contact at 40 mph with an object like a tree or pole. For evaluation purposes, the object is a 5-foot-tall rigid barrier.Â

Watch how the 2017 Nissan Titan Crew Cab (built after August 2017) performed in the driver-side small overlap IIHS crash test:

As you can see, the driver space of the modified Titan held up well in the crash test with maximum intrusion on the lower interior of 17 cm at the lower hinge pillar. Upper interior intrusion measured 7 cm at the hinge pillar and instrument panel.Â

When the older 2017 Titan was tested, the driver space was not maintained well, with a lower interior intrusion measuring as much as 27 cm at the lower hinge pillar and 21 cm at the parking brake pedal. Upper interior intrusion measured 16-19 cm at the instrument panel and hinge pillar, and the steering column was also pushed back 9 cm towards the dummy.

And aside from its top score in the driver-side small overlap IIHS crash test, the re-worked 2017 and 2018 Titans also boasted â€œGoodâ€ scores in other categories as well, including the moderate overlap front, side, and roof strength tests, and head restraints and seats, proving that this pickup performer is a solid bet when searching for a truck offering impeccable safety.

Think you might want to give the 2017 or 2018 Titan a try? Contact us at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington to schedule your test drive today.

Could the 2019 MY Nissan Titan Bring V6 Power to Seattle, Washington?

Extreme payloads, high towing needs, difficult terrain and severe weather conditions â€“ for some pickup truck drivers, only a V8 will do.Â

But for others, a big engine is overkill. Instead of tackling the road less traveled, they weave in and out of city traffic, crowded downtown streets and quiet suburban neighborhoods. They are business owners, weekend warriors, professionals and parents. For them, a V6 powerplant offers more than enough performance.

But up until now, the Nissan Titan has only catered to the high needs pickup segment. Thatâ€™s about to change. According to a recent WardsAuto report, the 2019 MY Nissan Titan will add a V6 variant to its line-up of engines.

Little is known about the type of engine that Nissan will offer, but industry insiders expect it will compete with other leading makes and models, like the Ford F-Series and Chevrolet Colorado. Both marquees feature V6 power under the hood and have strong sales to support the offering. Adding a V6 Titan will certainly shake-up the segment, giving consumers even more choice and alternatives than ever before.

As for now, official specs and details have yet to be revealed, but as soon as we have news to share, weâ€™ll be sure to keep our Titan fans in the loop.

To learn more about the upcoming 2019 MY truck, contact us at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington, to speak with a sales associate.
