Rejoice, Seattle! The 2018 Titan is finally on its way - with Nissan gearing up for a nationwide release. Critics have been anxiously awaiting this platform, wondering if it could surpass its predecessor; and, based on the sneak-peek of specs we’ve received, we think that’s a very likely possibility.
As PickupTrucks.com reports, the 2018 Titan will soon arrive in Washington. Though no full list of details has been confirmed, the site’s team was able to secure some interesting powertrain highlights. Anchoring the chassis will (once again) be Nissan’s signature 5.6L Endurance V8. This should yield impressive performance ratios, with critics estimating up to 390 HP and 394 lb.-ft of torque. A seven-speed automatic transmission will ensure nimble gear-to-gear responses; while two-wheel and four-wheel drivetrains will adapt to every terrain with ease.
Despite the endless rumors, the 2018 Titan will not feature a V6 alternative. Nissan chose to focus its energy instead on increasing the Endurance engine’s capabilities - and this should result in a more efficient experience (no official MPG ratings have been released but critics expect them to exceed last year’s 15-city and 21-highway ratios).
The 2018 Titan will offer drivers the segment-leading performance they deserve - and we can’t wait to see this platform on the Seattle streets. To learn more contact us today.
