2016 Nissan Titan XD

The Nissan Titan XD only went on sale in December, but it's already collecting awards. AutoGuide.com has named the 2016 Nissan Titan XD "2016 Truck of the Year", the latest in a growing list of honors for the groundbreaking full-size pickup. The Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel bested the Toyota Tacoma and the GMC Canyon diesel for the top honor.

  The Titan XD was praised for its "brawny 555 lb-ft torque" and for hitting a "sweet spot" for truck consumers by offering heavy duty capabilities without sacrificing the ease-of-use and comfort of a half-ton truck. The Titan XD offers a comfortable ride without losing the luster of driving a half-ton pickup truck. For customers who are focused on the Titan's towing ability, fear not. The Titan XD will deliver. The number of handy features like the new trailer light check system make the truck a great working companion. The 2016 Nissan TITAN XD is anchored by a powerful 310-horsepower Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel and mated to a heavy-duty 6-speed Aisin automatic transmission, and has a maximum towing capacity rating of more than 12,300 pounds when properly equipped. The additional TITAN models will begin rolling out this spring, eventually offering models that will compete in more than 85 percent of light truck segments.

The Rogue Warrior

 Japanese automakers have recently introduced a winter-themed Rogue Warrior Concept at the Montreal International Auto Show. This one is designed to have no problems while taking up the snow covered highways of the American North. Instead of the normal wheels, this Rogue Warrior has been outfitted with a Dominator snow track system from American Track Truck.

 

 

  The snow tracks were fitted to the Rogue by Quebec-based Motorsports in Action and are 48 inches long, 30 inches tall, and 15 inches wide. In order to handle the modifications, the crossover also had to receive alterations to its suspension. The package was completed by the addition of snow guards and enlarged wheel wells. The powertrain remained the same and it features the standard Xtronic

transmission and regular all-wheel drive system.

 

 

 

  The Rogue Warrior concept showed at the Montreal International Auto Show comes packing 23 inches of ground clearance and can climb a 45 degree grade in groomed snow – all the while being able to reach a top speed of up to 62 mph.

 

 

While you can't get the Rogue Warrior just yet, you can shop our current Rogue inventory at www.lujacknissan.com or visit our showroom located at 3750 N. Harrison St. Davenport, IA. 52806 where you can speak with a member of our Nissan Certified Sales Team. We look forward to hearing from you.

Nissan unveils their Nissan Titan Warrior Concept

 

 

  Looking ready to handle a Walking Dead "zompocalypse" the new Nissan Titan Warrior concept has all the aggressiveness it needs to survive in dreadful conditions.  The Titan Warrior sources the 2016 Titan XD and treats it to a very extreme transformation with a "Modern Armor" exterior.  The body has been completely remodeled, which is wider on each side by three inches and sits higher from the ground by almost three inches to make way for those “tiny” off-road 37-inch tires which use “puny” 18-inch alloys featuring a machined aluminum trim. Unique LED headlights and custom taillights complete the exterior changes.

 

  The interior you'll find an “indestructible” design with carbon fiber, leather, and polished chrome. Under the hood we see the same turbodiesel 5.0-liter V8 Cummins engine delivering 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque to a heavy-duty six-speed automatic gearbox. While the model certainly looks exciting and could have the potential to represent an interesting competitor for the equally menacing Ford F-150 Raptor, Nissan has remained quiet about the potential introduction of a hardcore Titan XD for now.

Strange Dayz: Nissan debuts Concept Car at Tokyo Auto Show

 

 

 

  Bizarrely dubbed Teatro for Dayz—a name that blends the Italian word for theater (teatro) and a current Nissan minicar—the EV concept was designed not so much for driving, but for occupants interested in creating, connecting, and sharing.
  Nissan describes the target for the Teatro for Dayz as the new generation that went straight from the cradle to digital technology as “share natives.” The company is worried that, despite the fact these youngsters will reach driving age in a few years, they show little interest in cars.

 

  The Teatro for Dayz’s boxy, floating-roof design, zero-emissions powertrain, and state-of-the-art connectivity is Nissan’s remedy to get share natives interested in cars. The concept gets a Spartan white interior that the company says doubles as a blank canvas for occupants to express themselves artistically. Either that or Nissan hasn’t quite decided how the cabin should be decked out.

So Nissan may not have the car in stock, but you can shop our other inventory at www.lujacknissan.com or visit our showroom located at 3750 N. Harrison St. Davenport, IA. 52806 where you can speak with a member of our Nissan Certified Sales Team. We look forward to hearing from you!
