    Nissan's Titan Could Be Going On A Global Tour

      You could be seeing the Titan in other markets

    The full-size truck is very much an American vehicle - its big, brash, and powerful. But Nissan is considering selling their full-size Titan and Titan XD in several other markets.

    "We are now looking at other markets where we can introduce the full-size pickup," said Ashwani Gupta, senior vice president of the Renault-Nissan Alliance's light-commercial business unit.

    "That market is really growing."

    Those markets include Australia, China, the Middle East, and Russia.

    Gupta did not divulge plans for the Titan, but being the head of Renault-Nissan's LCV unit gives us a clue. As Automotive News notes, the Titan is now considered a member of the alliance's LCV lineup which includes cargo vans and the smaller Navara pickup. This tells us that Nissan could be aiming the Titan at fleets and construction crews.

    A plug in hybrid Titan would make a lot of sense.  They could use a smaller engine to beat displacement taxes and if they had power outlets in the bed then you could plug power tools right into the truck if at a job site with no electricity.  I think that would help the global appeal.

    Totally agree with this move, GM, Ford and RAM should have been doing this years ago.

    I disagree. Few other countries really want or need a full-size pickup truck.  Midsize or compact pickups will sell better worldwide.

    Especially with the capabilities of a modern mid-sizer. I mean the diesel Colorado can tow 7600lbs and 1550 in the bed(or something similar if I remembered incorrectly).  That is full size numbers from only 15 years ago. So they're plenty capable. Heck, they're even similar sizes to the half tons 15 years ago as well.

    So you both do not think that countries bigger than us, Russia and China could benefit by having full size pickups available and before some Chinese company starts to build them?

    Do you think Ford, GM, and Ram didn't consider this years ago and probably do market research every couple of years to see if there is demand for them? It's hard to believe they don't continually consider this as they make so much off of them. Yeah, they might sell, but maybe not well enough to justify all of the hassle and approvals to sell them there. 

    But no, if the mid-sizers are as capable as they are right now there't not enough benefit to selling the big guys over there. 

    Look at what's on most of their roads now, smaller vehicles. Do you think they just all of a sudden want huge-ass trucks the size of their roads? Maybe after the Titan goes there it will spark a bigger interest and they'll sell but to sell in China it seems like they'll need some form of hybrid system within a few years.

    As far as international availability of American pickups, the Ford F-series has been a staple in S. American countries like Argentina and Brazil for decades, used to be sold in Australia (but not anymore, apparently), and in some Middle Eastern countries...most all probably for commercial/ag use...

      I dont like how Lamborghini did their "new" retro Countach.  It sucks.  I dont like how Ferrari is going to do THEIR "new" retro 849 Testarossa.  Its not a bad looker.  Better than the new Countach.  But I feels like both Ferrari and Lambo need not name their new models with name plates from their past. No need to. Both Ferrari and Lambo always were amongst the sexiest cars on the planet in their time. With new designs and names. So why go retro?  With that being said, the ONLY model that I wished Lamborghini had done and brought out was the 'new' retro Miura a couple of decades back.  It was stunning.

      Work is keeping me busy, too busy to write up press releases, here is the new 2026 Nissan Sentra, talk about blah and boring. Nissan unveils the all-new 2026 Nissan Sentra in the U.S. Seamless connectivity with class-leading available dual 12.3-inch screens, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ Sporty SR grade headlined by 18-inch wheels, blacked-out trim, ambient lighting and rear spoiler Sentra offers outstanding value with high level of available features, including the reintroduction of premium SL grade Confidence for every drive with available ProPILOT Assist and Blind Spot Intervention The all-new 2026 Nissan Sentra builds on a proven and reliable powertrain to deliver a dynamic, yet efficient driving experience. Under the hood is a standard 2.0-liter inline-four engine rated for 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. Sentra has standard idle stop/start to help save gas in city driving. The engine is paired with a proven Xtronic CVT that delivered confident performance in Sentra for several years. The CVT has been retuned for the 2026 model year to deliver a more natural, smooth acceleration feel. A new Sport drive mode (except S grade) was tuned in the U.S. for sharper throttle responses and more thrilling shifting patterns that help give the car a sporty feel. Precision engineering throughout the vehicle makes Sentra more enjoyable to drive, while also being even quieter and more comfortable than the outgoing model. Sentra features an independent strut front and multi-link rear suspension, and standard rear disc brakes for confident braking performance. Thanks to significant reinforcement of the unibody, the all-new Sentra has 6% greater rigidity than its predecessor. The steering wheel features an enlarged dynamic damper that effectively reduces road vibrations, ensuring a more composed driving experience. New shock absorber valving helps better mute impact harshness from bumps. Finally, engineers reduced the size of body openings throughout the vehicle to help reduce sound levels. EPA fuel economy estimates will be announced at a later date. OUCH Ford’s Record-Breaking Recall Year Continues: 115,000 Trucks Pulled Over Steering Wheel Issue
