American dreams – freedom, the great outdoors, country music and a full-size pick-up truck. In the large American truck market, the unique relationship between man and truck is a force to be reckoned with if you’re a manufacturer looking to make an impact. And Nissan has done just that with the Nissan Titan, a serious contender to the likes of Ford’s F-150, the Chevy Silverado and the Dodge Ram. In the right sense, it can be described as Magnus, Citius, Fortius – bigger, faster, stronger, when compared to the rest.
Magnus: Size does matter and keeping that in mind, Nissan has built this giant, aptly christened the Titan. Everything about the Titan is big and bold. This earthly monster, when parked alongside its competitors, makes them look rather inane. It boasts of best-in-class legroom, headroom and overall cabin space, which speaks volumes for its spacious interiors. The utility bed is big enough to carry a small number of rebels (if the Titan is ever exported to any country aligned with the axis of evil).
Citius: Under the hood of this monster beats a giant 5552cc, all-aluminium, 32 valve V8 engine, which belts out 300-plus horses at 4900 rpm and 51 kgm of torque at 2500 rpm. And these numbers alone are bound to create a die-hard fan following for the beast.With the engine red-lining at 6100 rpm, the giant is especially revving up a lot of enthusiasm amongst the younger generation of truck drivers.
Fortius: Stronger is definitely what the Titan is. Capable of carrying 840 kg in the bed and fitted with the Big Tow package, which includes all types of manly stuff, including a Class IV hitch and a heavy-duty radiator, you’ll be able to tow 4300 kg, a caravan and your speedboat to the beach. An even match with the Ford F-150.
