Test Drive the Titan XD
If you are looking for a pickup truck, we recommend test-driving the Titan XD before you make a decision about whether you want a light, medium or heavy duty model. The 2016 Nissan Titan XD is a truly new truck that breaks all the rules when it comes to how trucks are classified.
Big Gas-Powered Performance
With Nissan’s newest truck, you have two powerful choices. The XD gas engine is an Endurance 5.6-liter V-8. It pounds out 390 horsepower and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. Between the tough build and this power outlay, the XD can promise a 2500-pound payload or a 11,500-pound tow. Schedule your test drive.
Bigger Diesel Performance
If light duty isn’t quite enough, you can go for the diesel. Pulling loads is easier with 555 lb.-ft. of torque to get you started and to keep you going. This Cummins 5-liter V-8 diesel is a turbo that also spits out 310 horsepower. Both of these modern marvels start with a simple push button. This promises a 2000-pound payload and a 12,300-pound tow. At McKinnon Nissan dealer Montgomery Al, our staff can tell you more about XD capability.
Tough Build
The Titan XD is built tougher than the average light duty truck. The longer body and tougher axles help it handle a load that’s closer to heavy duty capacity. It also offers a built-in winch, making this tough truck even tougher when you have a load to pull. Get information about pricing.

Active Ride Control
When you hit a bump, the Rogue’s exclusive ride control system immediately applies the brakes and adjusts engine torque.

The Nissan Frontier and Two Other Nissans Rank High in the JD Power 2016 Initial Quality Study
Every year, J.D. Power conducts a massive study to determine which vehicles are most pleasing to their new buyers. The 2016 Initial Quality Study is considered an industry benchmark, and that’s why it is so gratifying to the staff at McKinnon Nissan dealer Montgomery AL that there are three Nissan models in the top three of their class, including the top-ranked 2016 Nisan Frontier.
The Initial Quality Study
JD Power surveys 84,000 new owners, asking them a wide variety of questions about the first 90 days of vehicle ownership. The answers determine how each model is ranked. Ranked at number 10, Nissan jumped ten spots in the rankings, and it leapfrogged over some premium and near-premium brands to do it. Among non-premium brands, it is ranked 6th. In addition, Nissan scored high in the America’s assembly line rankings.
2016 Nissan Frontier
Although it has more competitors than ever, Nissan’s mid-sized truck is clearly holding its own in terms of quality. Since it was rated on everything from materials to technology, it is impressive that the Frontier beat out a list of more expensive rivals. Get a Frontier price quote.
Altima and Murano
More competitive than ever, the 2016 Nissan Altima missed the top spot in the midsize sedan rankings by only a point. One of the best reviewed and most awarded crossovers today, the 2016 Nissan Murano claimed the third spot in rankings. With these high scores, Nissan covers every category: truck, sedan, and SUV. That speaks volumes about the overall quality of Nissan’s large fleet.

Nissan Kicks Off National Tire Safety Awareness
Nissan wants to raise awareness for proper tire care. To emphasize the importance for drivers to regularly inspect their motor vehicle tires, Nissan offers the following tire care and maintenance tips:
- Inspect visually. Regularly look for visual signs of potential tire issues which may include under-inflation, damage or uneven wear. Inspect tires before a long trip to help avoid unnecessary delays or expenses.
- Know your target. Find and adhere to the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure, which is located in the vehicle’s driver-side door jam.
- Be temperature-conscious. Tire pressures fluctuate with temperature changes. Check pressures when tires are cold (in the morning) at least once a month and following significant changes in temperature. Use an easy-to-read digital gauge for accuracy. A digital readout is displayed in the center cluster of many Nissan models.
- Rotate and balance. Achieve maximum life and performance from tires by rotating them every 5,000-7,000 miles. Also, balance tires periodically to help minimize uneven wear and extend tread life.
- Don’t overload. Avoid loading tires past their recommended rating. Excessive weight can weaken tires and potentially lead to blowouts.
- Avoid obstructions. Steer clear of large potholes, curbs or other objects when possible to avoid potential tire damage.

2016 Nissan Rogue vs. Honda CR-V
When it comes a right-sized crossover, many shoppers like the 2016 Nissan Rogue and the 2016 Honda CR-V. We think the Rogue edges ahead. What will you think when you test drive at McKinnon Nissan dealer serving Montgomery AL.
Comfort and Conveniences
Style is even as the two go head to head with quality materials. The Rogue is perhaps a sportier SUV than the boxy CR-V. When it comes to spaciousness, both offer a roomy cabin. The Rogue claims more front headroom. Only the Rogue has Zero Gravity seats that reduce fatigue for everyone on board. Rogue’s Quick Comfort seats have been shown to heat faster than conventional power-heated chairs. Only the Rogue offers a third row. In fact, the doors open especially wide, whether with two or three rows, allowing easier access to the back. The Rogue starts a lower price point, making it more affordable. You can find out with a quick quote.
Flexibility
Both have flexible seating that fold flat easily, but the Rogue’s second row can slide on a track, offering more legroom or more cargo space as needed. Only the Rogue is offering a fold-flat front passenger seat that gives you room for longer items. Furthermore, the Rogue’s standard cargo hold has organization features that the CR-V doesn’t. The Rogue has 18 ways for you to configure your SUV for carrying cargo. This includes compartments for crushable, valuable or dirty items. Finally, the Rogue’s rear cargo hold is 39 cu.ft. while the CR-V offers 34 cu.ft.

PC Magazine, a leading tech website, has given its Editor’s Choice Award to the 2016 Nissan Maxima, available now at McKinnon Nissan dealer serving Birmingham AL. Calling the style “sales gold”, the editors proclaim that the Maxima is another solid success for Nissan and sedan shoppers.
Editors’ Choice
The editors’ favorite edition is the 2016 Nissan Maxima Platinum because it comes with comfort, technology and fit and finish to rival the other top cars in this class. With the Platinum’s ventilated seats, it is certainly a good one for our Southern climate. Advanced crash avoidance features include adaptive cruise control and forward automatic braking. The predictive collision warning bounces radar to determine if the cars ahead are slowing down. This makes the warning much more useful, giving the driver much more time to slow or stop. The Around View Monitor, another Platinum standard, uses moving object detection to warn drivers about pedestrians, bicyclists, large dogs and more.
Standards Beyond the Norm
The PC Magazine editors really like the way that the base Maxima piles on the technology. On the base model, you get navigation with your touchscreen and audio streaming. Even better, Nissan is the only affordable automaker to add a cockpit controller for the touch screen, a common item in luxury vehicles. Other standard tech equipment includes a rearview camera, twin LCDs, and a remote starter. Furthermore, PC Magazine praises the fact that the best dash technology is offered at all levels.
You can sit in the lap of luxury at a more affordable price. It all starts with a test drive at McKinnon Nissan dealer serving Birmingham AL.
