If all the flag-waving surrounding the presidential election leaves you feeling compelled to buy American, here’s a new pickup you may want to consider: the 2017 Nissan Titan. The new half-ton truck is designed, engineered and built in the U.S.—with American contractors in mind.
Nissan initially is offering its new light-duty truck, which is nearly 15 in. shorter than the brawny Titan XD, in a crew-cab model with a 5-ft-long bed. Debuting for work-truck buyers will be a regular-cab version with an 8-ft-long bed, which is a brand-new body style for the Titan. It will begin appearing on dealer’s lots in November, Nissan told ENR during a recent test drive near Phoenix.
