Technically not a car, the Nissan Titan was the first full sized pickup truck the Japanese automobile company made for the North American market. Released in 2004, the truck was built and offered to the American public as an alternative to the more expensive Ford, Chevy, and Dodge models. Its design was based on the Nissan F-Alpha platform that it shares with the Nissan Armada and the Infiniti QX56 SUVs. The truck has become so popular in the United States, that Nissan’s Titan production plant is located in the state of Mississippi and 25% of the vehicles sales are found in the south central part of the United States, with Texas residents being the leading purchasers of the truck.
Even though the Titan has been well received by the American market, it may have a comparably short production cycle. Nissan is not denying the current rumors that the 2010 edition will be the last model because of declining sales, higher MSRP rates than other comparable trucks, and questionable fuel efficiency. However, if you are looking for a used Titan for sale, you should be able to find one fairly easily. With the recent gasoline issues plaguing the United States, many people have opted to trade in their Titan used car for a more economical vehicle, which means you can probably find one of these tough trucks with low mileage for a decent price.
