Hot on the heels of the unveiling of the Destination
Frontier, Nissan has introduced the Ultimate Parks Titan. Designed to celebrate the Grand
Canyon’s 100th anniversary as a national park, the model is a “purpose-built
park support vehicle” that will be donated to the Grand Canyon Conservancy
following its debut at Overland Expo West.
Based on the Titan XD PRO-4X Crew Cab, the truck has
been designed to transport people and their gear to the remote corners of Grand
Canyon National Park. In order to ensure the Titan can tackle the tough
terrain, the model has been equipped with a 3-inch lift kit, a Hellwig air
suspension and 35-inch Nitto Trail Grappler tires.
The modifications don’t end there as the Titan’s
frame was extended to accommodate a custom service body. It features a host of
lockable storage compartments as well as an Miller EnPak welder. The truck has also been equipped
with an Addictive Desert Designs HoneyBadger front bumper, extended fender
flares and a Warn winch. Other highlights include a Rhino Rack Pioneer Tray, a
55-gallon fuel tank and a RotopaX fuel cell.
If that wasn’t impressive enough, the truck comes
with a matching off-road trailer. It features numerous storage compartments as
well as a CVT hard shell tent and a Leitner Designs bed rack.
While the XD is known for its diesel engine, the
Ultimate Parks Titan has a 5.6-liter petrol V8 that produces 390 hp and 534 Nm of torque. It is connected to a seven-speed
automatic transmission which sends power to a four-wheel drive system with an
electronic locking rear differential.
The truck will be used by the Canyon Field School
which “offers unique opportunities for youth to experience the great outdoors
in the heights and depths of Grand Canyon National Park.”
