Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
Sedans promise economy; mini-vans offer comfort; and hatchbacks deliver convenience, with their five-door profiles accommodating every storage need. Each of these platforms boasts value for Seattle drivers… except on the backroads. There they all fail, yielding weak responses and slow control.

This is why Nissan recommends its 2018 Titan XD PRO-4X - a pick-up that has been tailored for adventure.



As JD Power explains, the new Titan XD adapts to every terrain. 18-inch alloy wheel deliver all-season traction and deep treading, allowing the truck to push past all obstacles. Bilstein shocks anchor the chassis, pairing high-capacity springs with a double-wishbone suspension to ensure smooth handling; while a solid front axle provides a stable ride. Skid plates line the undercarriage, protecting both the transfer case and radiator from debris; and LED lighting systems frame the fascia and cargo-bed alike to offer 360-degree illumination. This lets drivers quickly identify the safest paths while traveling.

To further improve performance, the 2018 PRO-4X also features an available lift kit. This yields an additional three inches of height, with adjustable coil-over shocks bolstering the suspension. Ground clearance is increased and Seattle adventurers can more easily tackle rough terrains (rocks, river beds, and deep ruts will no longer prove a concern).

The 2018 Titan XD PRO-4X provides impressive off-road capability - making it an ideal option for those who crave more than highway experiences. To learn more about this truck contact us today.
Technology is a forgotten guest at the house of power and performance - with its digital offerings ignored and its Hi-Fi sounds muffled. It earns no seat at the table, and it’s greeted with no smile (unlike its V8 siblings and solid axle cousins).

Nissan believes this to be unfair, however - and so it’s redefined the rules of pick-up etiquette. Technology will no longer be overlooked by the market. Instead the 2018 Titan XD S will fully embrace it.



As JD Power explains, the Titan XD S has been tailored for a new generation of half-ton drivers - with Nissan emphasizing infotainment with every mile. Anchoring the revised tech suite is a high-definition 5.0-inch display screen, which yields voice-activated interfacing and capacitive swipe-to-zoom functionality (easily access custom applications, like Pandora or Yelp). Wireless Bluetooth links power every smartphone and tablet, ensuring quick connectivity; while a four-speaker sound system delivers crisp notes from the AM/FM stereo. An integrated USB port further enhances content options, allowing users to sync their favorite files directly to the truck. Upload music, audio books, and more with the press of a button.

With the release of the 2018 Titan XD S, Nissan provides more than mere technology. It also accommodates everyday digital needs - with its center console delivering a wide-mouth design that can house a 15-inch laptop. Bringing your devices along for the ride has never been easier.

No longer compromise infotainment for power. Instead allow Nissan to provide a comprehensive highway experience.

Beyond the pavement waits adventure - with the roads fanning out from Seattle, leading toward hidden coastal trails and forgotten mountain terrains. Exploration proves endless… and difficult; and your wheezing pick-up simply can’t accommodate these strange new miles. It huffs, puffs, and then sags in defeat.

Nissan believes it’s time for an upgrade.



The 2018 Titan XD has made its Seattle debut - and, according to the JD team, it proves a worthy addition to every expedition. Bolstered by an exclusive 4x4 transfer case system, this truck can traverse any terrain. It utilizes an advanced power-band to evenly distribute torque between the wheels, with sensors assessing changing environmental conditions (such as snow, mud, or sand) and identifying the correct gear ratio for each. This ensures seamless off-road management, with the V8 engine tuned to each specific mile.

To further enhance performance, the new Titan XD also boasts a suite of driver-assistance features. Descent control regulates speed on sharp inclines, monitoring both the steering column and the wheels to ensure stable motions. A limited-slip differential anchors the brakes, increasing all ABS responses to improve grippage; while hill start technology optimizes engine revs, allowing the truck to more efficiently climb. There is no road that can’t be conquered.

The battle seem predetermined - with critics sliding into their seats, underwhelmed as they watched the competitors enter the arena. The Toyota Tundra, they were certain, would win this fight. It boasted a legacy of power, and no newcomer could defeat it… especially the Nissan Titan. This would be quick event.

It was - but the ending was quite different than anticipated.



As Forbes explains, the 2018 Titan stole the crown from Toyota - delivering a better pick-up experience. During an exhaustive comparison, this half-ton platform reigned supreme in key performance categories, including: style, handling, and cabin design. It delivered a fluid ride, emphasizing driver comfort and all-terrain capability; and not even the venerable Tundra could surpass it.

Style

Forbes appreciates the bold design of the 2018 Titan - noting its powerful frame (229-inches long, 81-inches wide, 77-inches high) and imposing wheel-arches. Chrome detailing highlights the active grille shutters, while a removable front aero spoiler delivers a sporty effect.

Handling

Anchored by a seven-speed automatic transmission, the Titan ensures nimble responses. Its RWD provides precise traction distribution, utilizing the 18-inch steel wheels to optimum effect; while a switch-operated transfer case yields crisp control, automatically engaging the available 4x4 to modulate both speed and cornering.

Interior

Comfort often proves forgotten in the pick-up market - but the 2018 Titan allows drivers to indulge in every adventure. Leather seats blend power lumbar support with available climate-control technologies, while dual-zone air conditioning promotes precise temperatures. The expansive six-passenger cabin further impresses, offering up to 41.8-inches of legroom.

With the release of the 2018 Titan, Nissan has proven itself to be a true market contender - and it’s left the Tundra in the dust.

With the release of the 2018 XD, Nissan seeks to whet every driver’s all-wheel appetite - delivering a custom half-ton platform that will prove equally at ease on the backroads or the fry-line. The Smokin’ Titan has arrived.


According to Four Wheeler, Nissan has set its sights on the culinary world - introducing Seattle food fans to its Smokin’ Titan. This XD pick-up offers custom performance, with its chassis tailored for those who love to play, and prep, hard. An aluminum liner now defines the bed, delivering durability. A Partner Steel double-burner oven has been placed along the interior wheel-walls, while a Churrasco cutting board folds out from the sides. Step onto the running boards to quickly access the integrated 24x24 sink (a water system rests directly beneath the rear bay); and slide into the cabin to open an ARB refrigerator. It’s tucked beneath the flat-folding floor panels, along with an available spice rack.

The 2018 Titan XD has been engineered for epicurists - with Nissan fusing it with a series of dry-smoker boxes and char-grille sliding trays. These utilize the brand’s signature Utili-Track cleats to move freely across the bed, ensuring easy access for chefs as they chop, cut, and cure.

Barbecue will soon be mobile.

It seems the smallest of dimensions - a mere three inches. What good, you wonder, could such a so-called upgrade provide?

Nissan is quick to remind Seattle drivers that bigger doesn’t always prove better - and sometimes the tiniest of improvements can yield massive effects. Get ready for the newly enhanced 2018 Titan XD!



According to CNET, the 2018 Titan XD will now offer an exclusive suspension lift kit - which will add three inches to the chassis. While this number seems (at first) to be less than impressive, Nissan explains that the platform already boasts a 79-inch height. It leads the half-ton pack and, with this upgrade, it will only further assert its dominance on the backroads.

By adding three inches to the suspension, Nissan will improve overall water wading capabilities - allowing the Titan to more efficiently navigate Washington’s coastal trails. It will also increase stability, with the kit utilizing both coil-over shock absorbers and new rod-end bearings. These will strengthen the independent suspension and provide a more adaptable ride, reducing the impact of rocks, ruts, and more.

The greatest value of this Titan upgrade, however, lies in its convenience. CNET explains that the bolt-on design will spare drivers a frustrating body modification, instead requiring only a few hours at a trusted dealership to complete. Installation will prove easy.

It seemed an impossible task - with the pick-up market doomed to mediocre ratings and cool critic receptions. These half-ton platforms (with their emphases on trailering and long-haul demands) have never earned recognition for safety. Their technologies didn't impress; and their capabilities lagged behind every mid-size counterpart. They weren’t destined to excel in crash test scenarios.

Nissan is now changing this - by introducing drivers to its 2018 Titan.



According to Cars.com, the 2018 Titan has just received the coveted Good rating from the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). This award - which has rarely been given to pick-ups in the past - celebrates the extensive upgrades Nissan has provided for the new year; and it emphasizes the truck’s ability to respond to small overlap front collisions, side crashes, and head-on incidents.

How did Nissan secure a top rating from the IIHS? It bolstered the 2018 Titan with advanced capabilities. Electronic stability and traction control helps to maintain precise lane positions, reducing the risk of rollovers while cornering. Vented all-wheel anti-lock brakes ensure seamless decelerations; while daytime running lights combat Seattle’s gray mornings. Integrated sensors recognize when a crash has occurred, instantly engaging the airbag suite (which includes side-impact and head curtain inflatables); and Moving Object Detection software enhances the Around View monitor, alerting drivers to passing cars and pedestrians alike.

The 2018 Titan offers ample safety features - making it an ideal option for work or play. To learn more about this platform contact us today.
Got some work to get done? The 2018 Titan is up to the task. Nissan’s latest truck offers tremendous utility to anyone in the Seattle area searching for a pick-up that’s powerful, well-designed, and roomy.



The 2018 Titan provides performance out the wazoo. While there’s a standard V8 capable of supplying 380 horses and a 9,390-pound towing capacity, there’s also the option of a magnificent 5.0L Cummins turbodiesel motor on the XD model that offers an insane 555-lb.-ft. of torque and a max hauling capability of 12,000 lbs. 
Payload is tremendous, too, at up to 2,594 lbs.


There’s plenty of room to haul stuff around on the 2018 Titan. A number of different configurations cater to a wide range of prospective owners. King Cabs supply a 6.5’ truck bed. Single Cabs are fantastic for those that need a workhorse machine and come equipped with an 8’ bed. Finally, those interested in a daily driver may gravitate toward the Crew variant, which boasts four doors for easy access and either a 5.5’ or 6.5’ bed (the latter on the larger XD model).

The new 2018 Nissan Titan is a heck of a machine. Make no mistake—this is a truck that can take you places in a hurry and haul anything you require. In addition, Remote Engine Start brings a bounty of utility.

Let’s begin our examination of the Titan’s engine performance with an eye towards sheer power. The 5.6L Endurance V8 motor delivers a stunning 380 horses. It easily manages to tow up to 9,390 pounds. You’re set if you need to take to the trails, too. Nissan’s truck offers the combo of double wishbone and leaf-spring suspension in the front and rear, respectively. And when you’re not on the backroads, the six-speed automatic transmission provides for a smooth, comfortable ride.



There’s a special technology we want to talk about, as well—Remote Engine Start with Intelligent Climate Control. Sure, you can rev up your Titan from afar and before you even step out the front door, but there’s more to it than that. Depending on weather conditions, the automobile will also do things such as heat the mirrors, steering wheel and seats, defrost the windows, or turn on the air conditioning.

Attention, Seattle! If you desire a big, bruising pick-up that can keep you and your family safe, you need not look elsewhere. The 2018 Nissan Titan offers a range of smart features and has superlative scores from the NHTSA.

Front driver/passenger head and side airbags are standard, as you would expect from a vehicle of this caliber. However, the 2018 Titan takes things further. It also includes electronic stability control, which works to decrease the chance of tire slippage by automatically and selectively braking each wheel in accordance with specific road conditions. Additionally, four-door truck models feature rear-curtain inflatables, providing for the security of those seated in the back. And integrated turn signals in the side mirrors keep other motorists aware of your movements.



The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends the new Titan. It awarded the pick-up five stars in Front Passenger Side, Side Barrier, Combined Side Barrier and Pole, Overall Side Pole, and Overall Side tests. The truck also grabbed a rating of four in all other categories, including Rollover. In sum, it arrives with heavy commendations.
