Great news Seattle truck fans – 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 industry’s best journalists, the Titan was presented its award during the Charity Preview Party at the Denver Auto Show.
Â
"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."
Â
But, the 2018 Titan isn’t just ideal for the Rocky Mountains – it’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
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
