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 itâ€¦ 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 itâ€™s left the Tundra in the dust.

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

According to Four Wheeler, Nissan has set its sights on the culinary world - introducing Seattle food fans to its Smokinâ€™ 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. Itâ€™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 brandâ€™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 doesnâ€™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 Washingtonâ€™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.

2018 Nissan Titan Brings Award-Winning Safety To Seattle

(Posted on Jan 29, 2018 at 01:38AM by Lee Byard)

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 werenâ€™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 truckâ€™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 Seattleâ€™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.
