The pickup wars are heating up and Nissan North
America's senior vice president of product planning has hinted the Titan will
eventually be offered with a V6 engine.
Speaking to Wards Auto, Michael Bunce said “A new
Frontier is on its way and a V6 is more geared toward that segment."
However, he added "Both [trucks] are built in the same plant in
Mississippi, so that opportunity is being looked at for Titan also.” Bunce
declined to say when we can expect the engine to be offered in the Titan but he
suggested the V6 will likely debut in the Frontier first.
Little is known about the upcoming engine but Nissan
expects it to appeal to companies and consumers who are looking for a work
truck and don't need the power of a V8. The V6 model should also be more
affordable than the V8 variant which starts at US$ 29,580.
