Going Old School
Since December of 2015, Nissan have been extremely busy reinventing their full-size pickup with a rash of new releases. What started with the launch of the completely new Titan XD featuring Cummins turbo diesel power, has since evolved with the subsequent release of several additional Titan variants, namely a gasoline (5.6L V-8) powered XD, followed up by the “regular” Nissan Titan that boasts both six and eight cylinder gasoline engines.
Well Nissan aren’t finished yet, and their latest launch covers the entire Titan line-up. We heard from company brass back in December that a regular cab was slated to come to market later in 2016, and true to their word, that's just what we have here.
Nissan has given us a sneak peek at the latest members of the Titan full-size pickup family – the 2017 Titan XD and Titan Single Cab. The first-ever Single Cab offering in Titan history, the new trucks are designed to provide an affordable and rugged entry-point in the commercial fleet/work truck market. The Single Cab represents a blue-collar truck to match Nissans marketing promises of a working mans version of the Titan.
"Once we complete the roll-out of all Titan cab, bed, powertrain and grade level configurations, our all-new Titan family will cover about 85 per cent of the total light pickup marketplace," said Rich Miller, Director of Product Planning for Trucks, SUVs and Commercial Vehicles, Nissan North America, Inc. and Chief Product Specialist for Titan and Titan XD. "More importantly, the Titan XD and Titan Single Cabs will have the power, torque, heavy duty chassis and durability required by today's demanding worksites – including the highest towing capacities and payloads in the line-up."
In both Titan XD and Titan configurations, the Single Cab will share the same cab dimensions and 8.0 ft pickup beds but both configurations have completely separate fully boxed ladder frame chassis’.
The Titan XD Single Cab, like the Titan XD Crew Cab, will be offered with a choice of two engines – the Cummins 5.0L V-8 Turbo Diesel, which is rated at 310 hp and 555 lb-ft; and the 5.6L Endurance V-8, rated at 390 hp and 394 lb-ft of torque. The Titan Single Cab, with about a foot shorter wheelbase, will be offered initially with the new 5.6L Endurance V-8 (a V-6 engine will be available at a later date). Diesel equipped models feature an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission and V-8 gasoline engine equipped versions will utilize a 7-speed automatic transmission.
Along with a choice of 4x4 and 4x2 drive configurations; two grade levels will be available with both Titan XD and Titan Single Cabs – S and SV, along with a number of optional equipment packages. The Single Cab is the second of three eventual Titan body configurations, joining the current Crew Cab and the soon to be announced King Cab. The 2017 Titan Single Cab models are scheduled to go on sale in Canada later this fall.
