(August 16, 2016) NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Perhaps in an effort to get noticed among truck buyers of Silverados, F-150s and Rams, Nissan has  put a five-year/100,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty on its all-new 2017 Titan and Titan XD full-size pickups. The announcement is part of Nissan's "Year of the Truck" — a new product onslaught of pickups, SUVs and CUVs.

Vehicles covered by the new warranty — which includes basic and powertrain coverage — include all Titan V8 gasoline-powered models and diesel and V8 gasoline-powered 2017 Titan XD models, including both 4x4 and 4x2 drive configurations, in Crew Cab and recently revealed Single Cab models. The 2017 Titans and Titan XDs are scheduled to begin arriving at Nissan dealers nationwide later this month.



"We're pleased to now offer the same confidence-inspiring protection as our commercial vehicles for our entire range of 2017 Titan and Titan XD full-size pickups," said Fred Diaz, division vice president and general manager, North America Trucks and Light Commercial Vehicles, Nissan North America. "The new bumper-to-bumper coverage shows customers that Nissan stands behind the quality of its vehicles — including the ones that are subject to the hardest use."

Nissan introduced "America's Best Commercial Van Warranty" — also 5 years / 100,000 miles — in June 2014 as a demonstration of confidence in its expanding light commercial vehicle lineup. Nissan says the results have been very positive, with Nissan NV Cargo and Passenger van sales up nearly 10 percent in 2016; NV200 cargo van sales have increased 17 percent through July.

"Nissan Commercial Vehicle models have experienced remarkable longevity, with some registering more than 500,000+ miles of relatively wear-free service," added Diaz. "We think that extending the same coverage to our full-size pickups, whether used for personal or commercial use, is a game changer in the segment."

The all-new, category-busting Titan XD was introduced for the 2016 model year, leading Nissan's all-out assault on the highly competitive full-size truck segment.

For the 2017 model year, Nissan adds an all-new Titan half-ton pickup, powered by Nissan's new 390-horsepower 5.6-liter Endurance V8 engine, to the expanding Titan XD lineup. Titan XD is currently offered in a Crew Cab body with a choice of a powerful Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel or the Endurance V8. New Titan XD and Titan Single Cabs, the first single cab variants in Titan history, join the lineup in late fall. A King Cab body configuration, along with a V6 engine, will follow at a later date.

"Titan will ultimately be available in a total of three cabs, three bed lengths, three engines, 4x4 and 4x2 drive and S, SV, SL, PRO-4X and Platinum Reserve trim levels – covering about 85 percent of the total light pickup marketplace," said Diaz. "And each and every one of them will be covered by the new 5-year/100,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty – the best truck warranty in America."
