Nissan will offer a redesigned half-ton Titan powered by a pair of gasoline engines that shares no chassis components with its bigger brother, the Titan XD. Nissan provided details about the truck at the 2016 Chicago Auto Show.
Nissan's half-ton Titan is approximately 228.1 inches long (14.7 inches less than XD) and 79.5 inches wide (same as XD) with the cab size shared between the two vehicles.

"The Titan and Titan XD do not share any common chassis components," said Rich Miller, Nissan's director of product planning for trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicles. "Even the lug nuts are different."
The Titan will be available in rear-wheel or 4x4 drive configurations with three cab configurations — Crew Cab, King Cab and Single Cab — and three bed lengths — 5.5, 6.5, and 8 feet. Similar to Titan XD, Titan will be available in five trim levels — S, SV, PRO-4X, SL and Platinum Reserve, according to the automaker.
The Titan will be powered by Nissan's 5.6L Endurance V-8 gasoline engine capable of 390 hp and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine will be mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. A V-6 gasoline engine will also be available, according to the automaker.
The Nissan Titan will be assembled in Canton, Miss., with the 5.6L V-8 gasoline assembled in Decherd, Tenn. The truck goes on sale in the summer.
AI is no longer a future concept for fleets—it’s already embedded in the tools, data, and decisions that operators rely on every day. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, recorded live at Fleet Forward, industry leaders take the conversation beyond hype to examine what responsible AI adoption really looks like in fleet operations.
As fleets rethink how they capture, manage, and act on vehicle data, telematics is at a major inflection point. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most pressing questions facing fleet leaders today: Should you rely on OEM factory-installed connectivity, aftermarket devices, or a hybrid of both?
Experts from telematics analytics, fleet-as-a-service operations, and national EV benchmarking share how real-time data is reshaping fleet strategy—dispelling assumptions, validating best practices, and exposing costly missteps.
A powerhouse panel featuring experts from the American Automotive Leasing Association, CalSTART, and municipal fleet leadership dives into the realities of navigating shifting emissions rules, regulatory waivers, federal agency actions, the future of the EPA’s endangerment finding, and the push for unified standards. They also examine the impacts of tariffs, autonomous vehicle policy, battery innovation, and the accelerating global EV market.
This episode kicks off with a deep dive into the technologies and market forces reshaping today’s fleet landscape. Host Chris Brown is joined by Laolu Adeola (Leke Services), Tyson Jomini (J.D. Power), and Richard Hall (ZappiRide) to break down real-world data, shifting incentives, and practical strategies fleet leaders can use right now.
In the middle of natural disasters fleet managers must shift priorities to protect people and assets. What policy items should be loosened, and when should the line be held?
In this episode, fleet leaders from municipal, university, and private-sector organizations share a candid EV reality check. From infrastructure setbacks and policy whiplash to grant funding, total cost of ownership, and charging resiliency, this conversation dives into what it actually takes to scale electrification in the real world.
After a decade of lagging compensation, fleet manager pay is climbing. But expanding responsibilities, larger fleets, and growing complexity continue to redefine the role.
