2017 Nissan Titan gets new platform, powertrain, cab and bed features

The second-generation Nissan Titan launches with the model's first-ever single cab and adds a direct-injection V8 and 7-speed transmission plus significantly improved vehicle aerodynamics and NVH attenuation. And while the 2017 model does not achieve a net mass reduction versus the previous Titan, fuel efficiency has been improved 28%, engineers claim.

The new Titan also brings a cool new approach to cargo bed illumination and claims an industry first: the first full-size pickup with a 5-year/100,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. There's also a V6 engine in the development pipeline.
