Development of the next generation Nissan Titan has been rough. Back in 2008, Nissan wanted to partner with Chrysler on developing the next Titan. That would have meant the next Titan and Ram would share many parts. However, when Chrysler went into bankruptcy in 2009, the plan was shelved and left Nissan to fend for itself.
Since then, Nissan has been hard at work on the next Titan, due out next year. But now, Nissan is saying it will be another year before we see it.
"We will come out a little later now. I made the decision," said Andy Palmer, Nissan Motor Co.'s executive vice president for vehicle planning and program management.
The reason is due to March’s earthquake that rocked Japan and caused Nissan's supply chain and production to be hindered. To get lines back up and running, Nissan sent out teams of engineers and resources which caused development of Titan to be pushed back.
