Nissan to Finally Launch New Titan at Detroit

The Nissan Titan has been around for a while. 11 years, actually. And in the auto industry, that's easily the equivalent of two product cycles for any given model. But the current Titan's time is up. Nissan can't keep it going for really any longer, especially in the face of fresh competition like the all-new Ford F-15 and Chevrolet Silverado. Fortunately an answer is on the way. Autoguide reports that Nissan will debut an all-new Titan at the Detroit Auto Show next January.

Set to be a 2016 model, the next-gen Titan will not only be completely redesigned, but come powered by a 5.0-liter Cummins diesel V8. Output will be in the neighborhood of 300 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. A six-cylinder engine is also likely, but no specific details are available just yet. Nissan is intent on remaining a player in the full-size truck segment, so this next Titan will really have to shine.
