Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
Performance defies a one-size-fits all philosophy - which is why Nissan bolstered its 2018 Titan XD with two distinct engine options. Each emphasizes specific power ratios to accommodate driver needs, ensuring a bespoke experience with every mile.

No longer compromise, Seattle.



As the JD Power team explains, the new Titan XD offers two engines - a traditional combustible powerpoint and a diesel alternative. Let’s examine them both:

Traditional

The 5.6L Endurance V8 delivers exceptional strength - generating 390 HP (5,800 RPM) and 394 lb.-ft of torque (at 4,000 RPM). It pairs a fluid seven-speed automatic transmission with a robust RWD; and this ensures class-leading towing capabilities (up to 11,600 pounds of conventional trailering and 2,910 payload pounds) while on the backroads.

Alternative

The 5.0L Diesel V8 combines enhanced turbocharges with a potent 32-valve design to increase air intake levels. This allows it to deliver 310 HP (at 3,200 RPM) and 555 lb.-ft of torque (at 1,600 RPM). Its low redlines ensure optimum traction, with the truck quickly activating its high-range gear ratios on even the toughest terrains. This promotes stable control when hauling up to 11,280 pounds of conventional trailering and 2,710 pounds of payloads. 

For drivers craving quick accelerations and best-in-class power the Endurance V8 will deliver superior results. The diesel option, however, offers value for long-haul commuters - embracing steady responses and smooth control.

The view proves obscure - half-hidden by a sloping C-Pillar, bursting with shadows and tight corners on its peripheral. You squint, trying to gauge the proper parking distance; but the too-loud scrape of your back bumper lets you know that you’ve failed. This will be a costly mistake.

Nissan wants to spare you another. This is why it’s paired the 2018 Titan XD with superior rearview support.



According to JD Power, the new Titan XD boasts the Around View monitor system. This four-camera collection enables drivers to accurately (and confidently) navigate even the tightest spaces. It provides a 360-degree real-time composite of the surrounding terrain, taking advantage of strategically mounted wide-angles lenses along the back bumper. Images are then streamed to the NissanConnect console to showcase the full span of the truck. Available Moving Object Detection technology warns of impending obstacles, while audio cues notify of improper lane alignments.

To further assist drivers, the 2018 Titan XD also features grid-line navigation - with the Around View monitor charting the most efficient reversal routes. Follow the pattern to ensure a fluid experience; and take advantage of the color-coded warning system (green designates clearance of up to 10 feet; while yellow represents three feet; and red signals 1.5 feet, respectively) to avoid any sudden collisions.

The Around View monitor proves perfect for those who seek to simplify parking. To learn more about this system contact our dealership today.
Economy proves rare within the half-ton market - with pick-ups intended for payloads, not pump performance. Strength, it’s argued, can’t coexist with efficiency.

Nissan disagrees.

According to JD Power, the 2018 Titan delivers class-leading economy - with its 5.6L Endurance V8 engine generating up to 15 MPGs in the city and 21 MPGs on the highway. How does it achieve such a strong ratio? Nissan credits its inclusion of active grille technology.



Efficiency has come to the pick-up market - with active grille shutters anchoring the Titan’s front. These are exclusive valves that open and close as needed to control air flow. Their main purpose is to ensure optimum engine temperatures, increasing intake levels when sensors indicate that the V8 is over-heating. When this goal is achieved, however, they will then create a tight seal against the fenders, forcing wind to divert away from the chassis.

This promotes aerodynamic responses with every mile - allowing the Titan to battle more effectively against drag. The platform can quickly maneuver through each environment, with air sluiced away and friction reduced. Engine strain is greatly lessened. The need for an excess of resources, therefore, is decreased and overall economy rises.

Active grille shutters provide the Titan with superior control over every drop of fuel - and they allow drivers to experience greater value at the pump. To learn more contact us today!
