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.

2018 Nissan Titan Brings Award-Winning Safety To Seattle
Tags:

(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.

Got some work to get done? The 2018 Titan is up to the task. Nissanâ€™s latest truck offers tremendous utility to anyone in the Seattle area searching for a pick-up thatâ€™s powerful, well-designed, and roomy.â€¨â€¨

The 2018 Titan provides performance out the wazoo. While thereâ€™s a standard V8 capable of supplying 380 horses and a 9,390-pound towing capacity, thereâ€™s also the option of a magnificent 5.0L Cummins turbodiesel motor on the XD model that offers an insane 555-lb.-ft. of torque and a max hauling capability of 12,000 lbs.Â Payload is tremendous, too, at up to 2,594 lbs.

Thereâ€™s plenty of room to haul stuff around on the 2018 Titan. A number of different configurations cater to a wide range of prospective owners. King Cabs supply a 6.5â€™ truck bed. Single Cabs are fantastic for those that need a workhorse machine and come equipped with an 8â€™ bed. Finally, those interested in a daily driver may gravitate toward the Crew variant, which boasts four doors for easy access and either a 5.5â€™ or 6.5â€™ bed (the latter on the larger XD model).

2018 Nissan Titan Offers Superlative Engine Performance to Seattleites
Tags:

(Posted on Dec 31, 2017 at 05:32AM by Billy Kirk)

The new 2018 Nissan Titan is a heck of a machine. Make no mistakeâ€”this is a truck that can take you places in a hurry and haul anything you require. In addition, Remote Engine Start brings a bounty of utility.

Letâ€™s begin our examination of the Titanâ€™s engine performance with an eye towards sheer power. The 5.6L Endurance V8 motor delivers a stunning 380 horses. It easily manages to tow up to 9,390 pounds. Youâ€™re set if you need to take to the trails, too. Nissanâ€™s truck offers the combo of double wishbone and leaf-spring suspension in the front and rear, respectively. And when youâ€™re not on the backroads, the six-speed automatic transmission provides for a smooth, comfortable ride.

Thereâ€™s a special technology we want to talk about, as wellâ€”Remote Engine Start with Intelligent Climate Control. Sure, you can rev up your Titan from afar and before you even step out the front door, but thereâ€™s more to it than that. Depending on weather conditions, the automobile will also do things such as heat the mirrors, steering wheel and seats, defrost the windows, or turn on the air conditioning.

2018 Nissan Titan Provides Sensational Safety to Seattle Owners

Attention, Seattle! If you desire a big, bruising pick-up that can keep you and your family safe, you need not look elsewhere. The 2018 Nissan Titan offers a range of smart features and has superlative scores from the NHTSA.

Front driver/passenger head and side airbags are standard, as you would expect from a vehicle of this caliber. However, the 2018 Titan takes things further. It also includes electronic stability control, which works to decrease the chance of tire slippage by automatically and selectively braking each wheel in accordance with specific road conditions. Additionally, four-door truck models feature rear-curtain inflatables, providing for the security of those seated in the back. And integrated turn signals in the side mirrors keep other motorists aware of your movements.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends the new Titan. It awarded the pick-up five stars in Front Passenger Side, Side Barrier, Combined Side Barrier and Pole, Overall Side Pole, and Overall Side tests. The truck also grabbed a rating of four in all other categories, including Rollover. In sum, it arrives with heavy commendations.
