Better late than never for Nissan’s Titan full-size pickup truck that will get a second chance in life after kicking around for a decade in one of the most competitive segments in North America.
With the new generation, Nissan will try to tackle one of the current’ model’s biggest problems, the lack of powertrains by introducing a new Cummins-supplied 5.0-liter V8 diesel producing over 300hp and 500 lb-ft of peak torque, in addition to a gasoline-fed V8.
There has been talk for a much-needed V6 gasoline unit at the lower end of the range, but that’s not expected to happen straight away.
The zebra-camouflaged tester caught by our spy shooters is a four-door crew cab model, but the lineup is believed to include extended cab and regular cab configurations as well.
There’s not much we can tell about its appearance from these photos other than it will have the usual brawny look we’ve come to expect from trucks this size with an even bigger front grille.
Nissan will also bring the Titan’s interior and available technology features up to date.
A world premiere is scheduled for the Detroit Motor Show in January.
