Nissan’s up to some good things, Tacoma! The company announced this week that, in honor of the Grand Canyon’s 100-year anniversary as a national park, the automaker will be donating the Ultimate Parks TITAN purpose-built park support vehicle to the Grand Canyon Conservancy.
The donation comes as part of Nissan’s partnership with the National Park Foundation. The Ultimate Parks TITAN support vehicle will assist the Grand Canyon Conservancy’s Canyon Field School by offering opportunities for youths to enjoy everything the great outdoors has to offer and, specifically, the amazing qualities of the Grand Canyon National Park.
The Ultimate Parks TITAN is based on the 2019 Nissan TITAN XD Gas PRO-4X Crew Cab. As such, it is powered by the 5.6-liter Endurance® V8 engine which produces 390 HP and 394 lb-ft of torque. All-terrain traction is offered through the sophisticated four-wheel-drive system, too.
"Nissan is proud to support the outstanding work being performed, trail-by-trail, campsite-by-campsite, by partners like the National Park Foundation, Grand Canyon Conservancy and Arizona Conservation Corps," remarked Tiago Castro, director, Light Commercial Vehicles, Nissan North America, Inc. "This custom-built TITAN XD 4x4 and trailer should help make their important work in remote areas of the park a little easier, safer and hopefully even a little more comfortable.â€
