    2015 Nissan Titan Lineup To Grow

    By William Maley

    The Nissan Titan hasn't really changed since its introduction back in 2003. Sticking with the same 5.6L V8 engine and the choice of either a extended or crew cab means the Titan hasn't set the sales charts on fire. Sales last year for Titan totaled 21,576, a far cry from the nearly 87,000 sales in 2005, its best year. But with the 2015 Titan, Nissan is hoping the new model will become a contender.

    Edmunds had the chance to sit down with Pierre Loing, vice president of product and advanced planning and strategy for Nissan North America, Inc. Loing hinted that a new Titan was on the way and is expecting to take a big slice of the truck market.

    "Reaching 100,000 is certainly possible. We believe there might be a recipe to grab some of this huge segment," said Loing.

    Loing revealed that the next Titan will have a full engine lineup and variety of cabs, including a regular cab. Loing also said that the pricing for the Titan will be changed as well.

    Despite the ambitious sales goal, Loing admits that even with the resdesign, it will be tough to bring in buyers.

    "It is domestic driven. High loyalty to domestic products. So the question is, 'Why bother?' It is still a huge segment. Whether it is through build quality, equipment, some price advantage, you name it, it may work. We will try again."

    I think we will see an increase in companies pushing to get into the full size market before some realize it is little to late and just need to stay focused on their auto lineup with small size trucks that people will want.

    • Their situation has improved.  Twenty years ago, it was bad like Venezuela is today. I have a friend who is married to a woman from here.  I bet he regrets it because he also "married" her very large overbearing Colombian family with very poor boundaries. 
    • A very unique car ... best in white.  What could be a (Grand) Le Mans BUT with a funky front end, vaned triangular "opera" window, and the squashed down rear trunk.  Thankfully, the great dashboard is the one shared with the GP.  (Located in soulless Chicagoland suburbs that go on forever.) We had a neighborhood family with this car in white.  They were never friendly to us.  I don't think they liked foreigners (like my parents).  They were transplants from Iowa ... the dad was a blue collar guy and the mom was the customer service desk lady at a nearby supermarket.  I'd laugh ... the kids in our family have more than one sheepskin to their names and look and act Americanized.  How about their kids?  Maybe some token community college courses.  I would never bring up this sort of stuff except that they were borderline white trash a-holes.  They were the only people I knew with a first-gen Grand Am. Condolences on the loss of this good friend ... he was taken from us way too soon.  He was apparently a brilliant and impressive individual.

    • WOW, We all have to live within a budget of what we earn and can afford to spend, I just do not get why it is so hard for Idiot47 and his lemming to be so stupid that they cannot seem to understand this basic idea. ‘The nation’s finances have deteriorated’ since Trump took office, CRFB says, gaming out the scenarios up to a $28.5 trillion deficit As such, I now have to question the long term viability of living in this country or even making any large purchases which could very well cause auto companies to go bankrupt as people choose to not buy their second largest purchase behind a home. First biggest purchase for young people as most cannot afford to buy a home. So Sad.
