Nissan showcases new 2020 TITAN characteristics and equipment! [VIDEO]

2020 Nissan TITAN New Nissan TITAN full-size pickup has undergone a comprehensive redesign program and now showcases tons of new features, revised exterior design and tons of new cutting-edge technologies and gadgets. Let’s see what else Nissan has prepared for us in 2020!

Exterior design

2020 TITAN has received its notable looks at the Nissan Design America plant in La Jolla, Calif. By following the “Powerful Warrior” design concept, engineers have managed to grant the new family member with a solid-beam construction and commanding presence with a high-tech appearance.

The revised TITAN offers three grille designs and 120 per cent more light output in low beam, to begin with. In terms of expression, the vehicle features revised front bumper, fog lights, and wheel design. Also, the new interlocking frame grille and surround is exclusively designed to convey strength, boldness and precision and at the same time it enhances the cooling performance for the massive 5.6-liter V8 power unit.

Additionally, the vehicle is offered with a choice of three new body finishes – Red Alert, Baja Storm, and Cardinal Red Metallic (premium color). The carryover colors include Brilliant Silver Metallic, Gun Metallic, Super Black, Pearl White TriCoat (premium color), Glacier White and Deep Blue Pearl.

This time both designers and engineers have focused on delivering us a sense of commanding technology. This concept blends hand crafted details and premium finishes. TITAN’s cabin features an 8.0-inch central area display and a larger Integrated Command Center with 9-inch WXGA touchscreen with WXGA resolution – it is higher than HD. Furthermore, there are Apple CarPlay and Android Auto systems, WiFi router and NissanConnect suite.

Also, every 2020 TITAN comes with a 12-speaker Fender Premium Audio system with a 485-wat 9-channel amplifier with Panasonic Acoustic Motion Control. Neat. There’s also front and rear Zero Gravity seats that help maximize posture positioning for enhanced comfort during long distance driving.

Drivetrain system

2020 TITAN is powered by a 5.6-liter Endurance V8 gasoline power unit that produces a total of 400hp and 413lb-ft of torque. Both output ratings are considered as the best in class. Furthermore, the engine utilizes Nissan’s exclusive VVEL (Variable Valve Even and Lift) technology, which blends hydraulic-controlled variable valve timing and electronically controlled variable valve lift on the intake side to ensure quick response.

This engine is mated to a new 9-speed automatic gearbox with a final gear ratio of 3.692:1 – it provides more torque at the wheels in any given gear and contributes to smother and quicker acceleration. The larger range also means that there’s better range coverage for optimal power on standing starts and at cruising speeds.

2020 TITAN also adopts cutting-edge safety and driver-assist functions. Such are Hill Descent Control, Hill Start Assist, Brake Limited-Slip Differential and electronic locking rear differential.

2016 TITAN XD Is Nissan’s Choice for Land Speed Record Event

2016 Nissan TITAN XD Shortly after being named the “Truck of Texas” by the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA), the 2016 TITAN XD, geared with Cummins 5.0-liter V8 Turbo Diesel is the ideal, most flexible and trustworthy land speed record racer. Dubbed “Project Triple Nickel” as an homage to the stock TITAN XD’s titanic 555 lb.-ft. of torque, the one-of-a-kind truck was unveiled today at the 2015 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show.

2016 Nissan TITAN XD

“Project Triple Nickel” is a special collaboration project between Cummins and Nissan North America. Both brands currently employ land speed class record holders and both at Bonneville, along with the East Coast Timing Association that holds events in Wilmington, Ohio. All these employees, completely on a volunteer basis will help and guide the ongoing event, all with truck competing in the D/DT class (with current record of 191mph/343km/h), along with FIA class A-III-9 (115 mph/207km/h as a record).

As you might know, Cummins has a long and compelling history in land-speed that first started back in 1931 on Daytona Beach and continued to the salty flats of Bonneville and airstrips of Wilmington, Ohio. And since then, Cummins became a symbol of durability, endurance and will. In later years, the spirit of the race has also been proven at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with off-shore racing, DAKAR rallies and numerous competitive pulling events that demonstrate the incredible characteristics and appearance of the Cummins DNA.

Cool Animation Shows Why 2016 Nissan TITAN XD Has So Much Torque [VIDEO]

If you think that Nissan’s secret weapon at the North American International Auto Show was only the 2016 Nissan TITAN XD then you won’t be entirely right. The company actually premiered not only the full-size pickup, but also the new Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel engine. Nissan has just released a short film in which it literally shows-off with the unique features of the engine. The video is a detailed animation, displaying what the unit consists of and how it actually works.

A Cummins M²™ Two-Stage Turbocharger, which is featured in the engine, is configured to work effortlessly at both low and high engine speeds. The series sequential turbocharging system uses two differently sized turbochargers and effectively delivers a small turbocharger for low air flow requirements and a large turbo for high air flow.

The small one offers the benefit of better transient response, because of low inertia. On the other hand, the large turbo maintains power at higher engine speeds. This also contributes to elimination of the turbo lag, meaning that it provides a continuous delivery of peak torque through the RPM range.

And if you wonder about the control of the air flow between the two turbochargers, well, it is possible due to the new M² system. It works by utilizing a patented rotary valve to open ports that perform the bypass or waste-gate functionality and provide exhaust after-treatment thermal management.

And if you ask me: this is the twin-turbo of the 21st century and I’ll definitely take one.

Nissan Project Titan is Ready to Conquer Alaska’s Wilderness [VIDEO]

Nissan Project Titan is world’s first crowd-sourced truck. Nissan has handed over the build to their Facebook fans and now the custom ultimate off-road machine is to take two heroic Wounded Warrior Project Alumni across Alaska. The project is based on a 2014 Nissan Titan Crew Cab PRO-4X. Fans have voted on 10 different areas of customization in order to assist the company to conquer Alaskan wilderness. There were three stages in the development of the vehicle. Along the way, fans have voted giving the company direction for almost every inch of the truck.

The exterior appearance of the Titan is adorned by a “Recon Titan” wrap, which is a digital-camouflage design that pays tribute to some of the most capable vehicles in the military. In addition, the fans have chosen a NISMO cold-air intake and Borla cat-back exhaust system, which open up airflow on both ends of the vehicle’s powertrain – the Endurance 5.6-liter V-8 engine.

On the Alaskan landscape, the Titan will be running on 18-inch Fuel Revolver D525 wheels wrapped in 35-inch Nitto Trail Grappler M/T tires. During the night, it will illuminate its way via Bulldog LED Lighting, while the ARB Deluxe Bull Bar will deliver additional protection.

The interior of the vehicle has been also customized. The shifter and steering wheel have been refreshed, while the seats got new rugged Katzkin leather-wrap as well as Wounded Warrior Project embroidery. Coordinated tan stitching can be seen on the seats, steering wheel and door panels.

Fans have also added utility to the experience. Precisely, Project Titan tows a customized camping trailer which includes a camp-style kitchen, tent, water/fuel storage and a spare tire.

Currently, the truck has been fully prepared and already arrived in Alaska. Iraqi war veterans and Wounded Warrior Project Alumni David Guzman and Kevin McMahon will trek over mountains and through valleys in the ultimate Titan. Of course, Nissan will document the adventure, with a YouTube series set to launch this fall. If you want to follow the team’s journey just visit Nissan’s Trucks Facebook page.

Unfortunately, this custom Nissan Project Titan won’t enter production or be available for purchase.
