Nissan may be the new leader in the truck market

with its new 2016 Nissan Titan XD that will be presented this December, Nissan is likely to become the new leader in the truck market.

Nissan is about to launch its new 2016 Nissan Titan XD. Over the years the Titan earned a deserved reputation as a comfortable, dependable, reliable truck.

Nissan hasn’t done a major update on the Titan since it first rolled out of the showroom, making it one of the oldest vehicles on the road. The automaker introduced its first full-size truck in 2003, with an interesting strategy: every Titan had a 5.6-liter, 300-horsepower V-8 with a five-speed automatic transmission -- no V-6, no manual transmission, nothing resembling the sort of stripped-down work truck Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, GMC, and Toyota offered as entry-level models.

Every Titan had room in the rear, as the only body-style choice was the extended King Cab or a full four-door Crew Cab -- no single-cab available. Now, with the new 2016 Nissan Titan XD, powered by a 5.0-liter, 310 horsepower Cummins turbodiesel V-8, it’s not a stretch to say Nissan may be the new leader in one of the most competitive, brutal markets there is.
