Nissan is adding a new King Cab body style for 2017
Titan and Titan XD models at Chicago Auto Show, featuring 6-person
seating and wide-opening rear doors.
Nissan will be offering the Titan King Cab in both
4x4 as well as 4x2 drive, with a total of three grade levels - S, SV and
PRO-4X, all powered by a 390 HP 5.6-liter Endurance V8 engine, mated to a
7-speed automatic transmission.
Nissan says that their Titan
King Cab pickup can offer a maximum towing capacity of 9,420 lbs (4,272 kg) and
a maximum payload capacity of 1,640 lbs (743 kg).
While the Titan XD King Cab will also be available
in either two or four-wheel drive, with the same three grade levels as the
Titan King Cab, buyers will be able to choose between the 390 HP 5.6-liter
Endurance V8 or Nissan's powerful Cummins 5.0-liter V8 turbo diesel (with a
6-speed automatic), good for 310 HP and 752 Nm of torque.
Towing capacity is better on the XD version, with
the diesel-powered model able to tow 12,510 lbs (5,674 kg), and the V8 petrol
boasting a maximum payload capacity of 2,710 lbs (1,229 kg).
What sets the King Cab body apart from the Crew Cab
or Single Cab models is the roomy interior with a choice of front split bench
seat or front bucket seats (standard on PRO-4X, optional on SV models). Also
standard is a 60/40-split fold-down rear seat, while the previously mentioned
PRO-4X and SV grades get heated front seats, though the former can have them
heated & cooled as an optional extra.
Other features include the segment-first "rear
seat delete" option, which removes the rear seat, rear heater duct and
rear roof-mounted assist grips, while adding a flat rear load floor and rear
wall finisher with tie-down hooks for improved utility.
