Nissan Titan XD Wins AutoGuide Truck of the Year

Apr 10, 2016

The all-new Nissan Titan XD has scored the 2016 Truck of the Year Award from the prestigious AutoGuide magazine. The XD offers more than its groundbreaking 5-liter V8 Turbo Diesel. It is also redesigned from the wheels up, creating a real powerhouse. It also creates its own niche between typical light duty and heavy duty trucks.

AutoGuide Award
The 2016 Nissan Titan XD was named best full-size pickup due to its “robust towing capabilities, clever features and strong diesel engine”, write the AutoGuide reviewers. It bested the new GMC Canyon Diesel to earn the award. The AutoGuide truck expert wrote that he liked the comfortable, quiet ride and handy features. He also praised the engine confidence, which is generally lacking in other half-ton pickups. Learn about pricing at your Nissan dealer Montgomery AL.

The Right Stuff
The V8 Turbo delivers 310 horsepower, but the real power story is in the 550 lb.ft. of torque. The maximum tow capacity is 12,300 pounds, but many will increase that by choosing the built-in gooseneck hitch. The maximum payload capacity exceeds 2,000 pounds. The truck sits on a different body than the typical Titan or, for that matter, any other light duty truck. Strategic structural changes make it capable of handling really big loads.

For a truck with the right stuff, you can’t go wrong with the Nissan Titan XD. The AutoGuide Truck of the Year is at your McKinnon Nissan dealer Montgomery AL. Schedule a test drive.
