Nissan 'pretty much going it alone' on new Titan replacement pickup
Nissan is dead-set on staying in the market for full-size pickups.
Its Titan pickup will stay in production in Canton, Miss. -- we got that wrong in an earlier post today -- as the Japanese automaker develops a successor. Nissan had planned on working on the new pickup in collaboration with Chrysler, but that deal fell through.
"We 're pretty much going it alone," says Nissan spokesman Scott Vazin. He didn't say when the new truck will arrive, but it can't come soon enough:
Nissan sold 16,894 Titans for the first 11 months of 2009, out of a full-size truck segment that topped 1 million. By contrast, segment-leading Ford F Series sold 365,416 over the same period, Autodata reports.
The Nissan plant that builds Titan also makes the Nissan Armada full-size SUV.
