In the wake of Hurricane Irma Floridians found themselves faced with devastation. The Key West Islands - once so pristine - had been battered beyond recognition, with their palm trees ripped from the roots and their coral reefs shattered. The white sand beaches were all stained with the remnants of a storm.
Nissan wishes to change this - which is why it’s sending the 2017 Titan down south, wanting to provide aid to those in need.
A recent Nissan press release explains that the Titan is journeying to Florida. There the pick-up will join forces with Hilary Hutcheson (champion Fly Fishermen and TV personality), who’s spearheading a program to remove debris from the Key West. The two will work in tandem to haul away branches, shingles, and other materials that have washed onto the beaches. They’ll bring together hundreds of volunteers to remove the remaining layers of Hurricane Irma, trying to (once again) reveal the sand beneath.
This will prove an easy task for the 2017 Titan. Boasting a bed length of up to 92.7-inches, this truck can accommodate every beachcomb payload - delivering up to 1,951-pounds of cargo hauling and 9,740-pounds of trailering. It will allow Hutcheson and her team to quickly remove all debris, expediting efforts to restore the Keys.

Numbers never lie. As Nissan revs toward the final quarter, it leaves behind a series of profits - with the 2017 Titan earning more than 4,440 total units in October alone. This represents a year-to-year increase of almost 200%, with consumer interest achieving a record high in Seattle and beyond.
It comes as no surprise, therefore, that Nissan wishes to extend this success toward international waters. The 2017 Titan is heading to China.
As Pickup Trucks.com explains, the Titan will soon make its overseas debut. Nissan is packing up its 5.0L Endurance V8 engine and seven-speed automatic transmission, hoping to cut a wide swath through China’s growing market. It’s not the only automotive maker to attempt this. Both Ford and Chevrolet have set their sights on a new demographic, and both have achieved measurable success.
Nissan’’s gamble has surprised many critics, however. The 2017 Titan - though generating the largest year-to-year margin of any pick-up - is still considered a niche platform in the United States. It doesn’t boast the brand recognition of the F-Series or the Colorado. The Kirkland team knows, however, that this truck is primed for consumers, offering class-leading towing (up to 12,650 pounds) and superior payloads (2,918 pounds). It will impress in China… and continue to gain momentum in Seattle.
Endurance proves the cornerstone of the pick-up market. These trucks are forced to survive long miles of heavy payloads and rough terrains - with their drivers demanding nothing less than perfection. Every engine must deliver the necessary power; every AWD must impress.
Nissan agrees. This is why it’s tailored the 2017 Titan Platinum Reserve for long-term value.
Recently, the Truck Trend team took a 2017 Titan on a whirlwind adventure - testing its off-road capabilities and performance ratios. Their trim of choice was the Platinum Reserve… and it proved to be a wise decision.
This platform delivered ample power. Boasting a 5.0L V8, it met every challenge with strength (390 HP, 394 lb.-ft of torque) and adaptability. Its seven-speed automatic transmission smoothly responded to every terrain; while the multi-leaf rear suspension created a balanced ride. The integrated transfer case provided easy adventuring, shifting from 2WD to 4WD with every changing mile; and the 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels rolled over all obstacles.
The Truck Trend critics found no fault with the 2017 Platinum Reserve. This platform delivered over 300 miles of pure performance, with its 11,920 pounds of conventional trailering accommodating every load.

It’s a collection of rocks - rising from the dirt, sharp edges glinting in the sun. You frown, wondering how you’ll cross this bridge of stones. A quick glance to the low swoop of your sedan suggests that it won’t be possible. This road is too rough for a mild mid-size platform.
Nissan recommends seeking a half-ton upgrade.
According to Villager Publishing, the 2017 Titan proves ideal for Washington’s ever-fickle terrain. Standing on 18-inch wheels, this AWD beast can easily navigate inclines and sudden corners alike - with its raised suspension ensuring a smooth ride. Integrated skid plates shield the under-carriage, while mono-tube shocks promote balanced mechanics. The integrated shift-on-the-fly steering column allows drivers to quickly accommodate changing conditions, utilizing both 4Hi and 4Lo settings to enhance every mile; and a seven-speed automatic transmission impresses.
All of this pairs with a robust 5.6L V8 - which offers 390 HP and 394 lb.-ft of torque. The 2017 Titan pushes through every obstacle, promising class-leading performance with each engine rev. This makes it perfect for adventuring in Seattle, Renton, and beyond. Take this truck to the coast and experience pure fun.

With the release of the 2017 Titan Nissan seeks to defy logic, sending this hulking machine down the highway at unprecedented speeds. Despite its extended wheelbase (139.8-inches) and wide-fendered profile, this truck delivers quick accelerations - allowing drivers to glide through the miles like never before.
Are you ready for pure V8 power?
Recently the Car and Driver team launched an exhaustive half-ton showdown - pitting North America’s leading pick-ups against each other. The most popular brands (including Ford, Chevrolet, and GMC) were forced to endure full-throttle straightaways, with their speeds all carefully measured. No critic expected the Titan to perform well. After all, this platform has never earned the acclaim of its competitors, instead maintaining a niche presence on the charts.
At the finish line, however, it managed to secure an impressive third-place victory - finishing mere milliseconds behind the anticipated winners:
The 2017 Ford F-150 Lariat
0 to 60: 6.3 seconds.
¼ Mile Time: 14.9 seconds.
The 2017 Toyota Tundra SR5
0 to 60: 6.4 seconds.
¼ Mile Time: 15.1 seconds.
The 2017 Nissan Titan Pro-4X
0 to 60: 6.4 seconds.
¼ Mile Time: 15.2 seconds.
The 2017 Titan surpassed all expectations, leaving many award-winning platforms (such as the Chevrolet Silverado and the RAM 1500 Rebel) in the dust. This pick-up promises quick speeds for every Seattle driver.

Days don’t define your calendar. Instead adventures do - with you fusing each season with fun, embracing changing temperatures and fickle weather with a series of activities. Summers are meant for swimming; winters promise snow-bound thrills; and every week in between is a chance to explore Washington.
We suggest that you choose the right companion for these escapes.
According to BizJournals, the 2017 Titan Pro-4X was recently named the Best Extreme Off-Road Truck by the Active Lifestyle Vehicle Awards. This competition - which seeks to identify platforms that deliver the necessary power for sportsmen - pitted Nissan against the likes of Ford, Toyota, and General Motors. Though these half-ton options offered undeniable strength, they could not surpass the all-terrain capabilities of the Endurance V8.
This engine anchors the Titan line-up - and it allows the Pro-4X to achieve a robust 390 HP. A seven-speed automatic transmission pairs with AWD to ensure fluid handling, while Bilstein performance shocks accommodate rough terrains. Integrated hill descent control technology promises superior grippage, utilizing both vented disc brakes and a locking rear differential to navigate every rut in the road; and front tow hooks combine with a Class IV receiver to deliver more than 11,000 pounds of trailering.
This allows the 2017 Titan to accommodate every off-road toy. Seek out fun with ease, Seattle!

Payloads are a common foe. Every day drivers battle them, countering their heavy weights with trailers and vinyl beds. Pick-ups push back against every long-haul demand; but too often do these skirmishes end in a tense draw. There is simply too little power in Seattle to earn a victory.
According to The News Wheel, Nissan’s full-size pick-up will soon venture beyond off-road adventures - earning acclaim as America’s Best Commercial Truck. After experiencing rigorous testing at the Long River Ranch (which plays hosts to the Texas Auto Writers Association, a group of journalists who compares the performance capabilities of all major marques), the Titan proved the ultimate blue-collar option. Boasting a trailering capacity of 9,740-pounds and a rugged King Cab configuration, it raced past the competition.
The Kirkland team isn’t surprised. With the release of the 2017 Titan, Nissan provides Seattle with the everyday power it craves - utilizing a 5.6L V8 engine to ensure class-leading responses (390 HP, 394 lb.-ft of torque). The available AWD caters to every road, while Class IV hitch performance offers effortless towing. This platform can quickly adapt to all commercial needs, delivering exceptional payload ratios.

First glances can deceive. With the reveal of Nissan’s third-quarter margins, critics and consumers may share a sense of disbelief - comparing the sales of the 2017 Titan with its competitors (the Ford F-Series, the Toyota Tundra, and the Dodge Ram). The numbers seem strangely underwhelming, lacking in both volume and profits; and disappointment fills the Seattle streets.
Allow us to provide some much-needed relief.
According to Auto News, the 2017 Titan has earned 35,549 total units for the year. While this number does indeed pale in comparison to other brands (particularly the Ford F-150, which has delivered 658,636 total units), it also proves the growing interest in Nissan’s fledgling pick-up. Overall sales have increased a staggering 224 percent - securing the largest year-to-year victory of any major marque.
What does this mean for the Titan? Nissan is already seeking to further expand its success - with Auto News reporting that the company will soon send its V8 powerhouse across the globe, conquering markets in China, Russia, and Australia. It’s creating direct international competition for Ford and Toyota; and it’s developing a strong presence on the sales charts, providing drivers with access to 390 HP, 394 lb.-ft of torque, and a towing capacity of 9,740-pounds.
We anticipate that the Titan will prove unstoppable in the years to come - cultivating fans in North America and beyond.

The virtues of the crossover market are many - with hatchbacks, SUVs, and mini-vans delivering effortless comfort and ample cargo space. These gentle giants provide Seattle families with the everyday convenience they deserve; and they’re perfect for the highway.
They do not, however, offer all-terrain value - as a recent Car Question comparison proves.
According to Jalopnik, many of the market’s leading crossovers (such as the Ford Expedition, the Mazda CX-5, and the Toyota Sienna) feature body-on-frame constructions - branding them more similar to trucks than conventional sport utility vehicles. Because of this, the Car Question team recently tested these platforms against the 2017 Nissan Titan, wanting to gauge whether they could keep pace on the backroads.
They couldn’t.
Jalopnik reports that every crossover failed to deliver the same performance ratios as the Titan - with Nissan’s 5.0L V8 engine yielding seamless all-terrain power. Boasting 390 HP and 394 lb.-ft of torque, this truck scaled dunes and dirt paths with equal ease. A double-wishbone front suspension paired with available AWD, while the Vehicle Dynamic Control system maximized traction. 18-inch steel wheels rolled over every obstacle; a seven-speed automatic transmission offered crisp handling; and integrated electronic brake-force distribution provided balanced stoppage on even the steepest hills.
Unlike its SUV competitors, the 2017 Nissan Titan secured a flawless victory - showcasing why drivers must depend on half-ton power for their off-road adventures.

With every mile comes a plea for power - with you trying to coax bursts of torque from an engine, begging a direct-injection system to deliver much-needed performance. None of your chrome-coated prayers are ever answered, however. Instead your pick-up remains stubbornly weak.
Nissan sympathizes - which is why it recently bolstered its 2017 Titan Pro-4X’s capabilities, ensuring that drivers would no longer have to entice HP ratios.
According to Gotta Be Mobile, Nissan’s latest Pro-4X proves a welcome addition to the half-ton market - connecting drivers to the steady performance they crave. Beneath its sculpted hood is a 5.6L V8 engine. Combining direct-injection power with Variable Valve Event and Lift (VVEL) technology, this powerplant generates 390 HP and 394 lb.-ft of torque. A new 7-speed automatic transmission anchors the chassis, while an available AWD maximizes traction.
When these elements combine, they allow the 2017 Titan to achieve both 9,130-pounds of conventional trailering and 1,620-pounds of payload capabilities - ensuring segment-leading strength on every terrain.
What will most thrill drivers, however, is the Titan’s 4-valve-per-cylinder design. This ensures that the engine delivers seamless performance - maximizing every air intake and providing optimal power distribution. The truck fully utilizes its V8 system and will offer smooth responses with every mile.
