TITAN nabs top spot for second straight year

'The Rocky Mountains feature some of the best off-road terrain America has to offer, and the area is also home to some of the top truck enthusiasts in the country,' said Tiago Castro, director, Light Commercial Vehicles Sales & Marketing, Nissan North America, Inc. 'Because of that, this award holds a great amount of significance, and we are thrilled for the TITAN lineup to take home top honors in back-to-back years.'

Following several weeks of test drives, the 2018 TITAN King Cab topped the RAM 2500 and Ford F-250 in final voting, with journalists noting the TITAN King Cab's 5.6-liter Endurance® V8 gasoline engine, seven-speed transmission and four-wheel-drive performance as top factors for their decision.

'Last year, Titan XD impressed RMAP voters with Nissan's second generation truck, engineered and assembled in the USA,' said David Muramoto, president, Rocky Mountain Automotive Press. 'For 2018, Nissan has scored an unusual follow-up victory with the gas-powered version of the TITAN and the half-ton King Cab chassis in the RMAP Truck of the Year voting.'

The TITAN King Cab is marked by its available 6-person seating, wide-opening rear doors and available 'rear seat delete' option, which is ideal for commercial use with its flat floor and secure in-cab storage space. Like all 2018 TITAN and TITAN XD models, the TITAN King Cab is covered by Nissan's 'America's Best Truck Warranty'1 – featuring bumper-to-bumper coverage of 5 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
