Yes. Gimme 2!

This is the kind of stuff Nissan needs to do to the upcoming Titan.

Americans identify with an truck that is styled as an "off-road" truck, regardless of whether or not it actually will ever be used for such.

Nissan can possibly turn things around of it get the next Titan right. For starters, the Ram Ecodiesel will now have a competitor.

If Nissan were to do some type of off-road package that offered more "features" than just decals, I think it would be a big seller.

What Nissan can't do is aim to sell an average truck for an average consumer. No, that market is already saturated.

Nice build! But there are some obvious issues.

The trailer is cool but it will get absolutely destroyed cosmetically by gravel rash. The truck needs some serious mudflaps or the trailer needs a net gravel skirt below the tongue, bridging the gap between truck and trailer.

The fridge should be mounted in the cab where it is easily accessable without getting out of the truck, and where it won't take up so much valuable storage area in the bed.

Two jerry cans is NOT an adequate fuel reserve for Alaska! There is room at the back of the trailer for four good sized Rotopacks. Having fuel cans at both ends gives you a small amount of adjustable "ballast" for balancing the load.

The trailer has appropriate tires - wheels and tires match the truck - but no apparent upward travel! There is no clearance between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender. Somebody screwed up.

Too bad that they didn't go on a short shake down trip to sort out the obvious problems. Now the two vets will have to deal with them en route......

I'm surprised we haven't seen any spy photos of the next Titan, it is suppose to debut in January. Personally I can't wait!

Bout the only thing cool nissan does, this and the gtr.

Similar to a British Expeditionary Trek for soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan although they did the Dakar Rally as well
Good idea, should be more of it

I have to give props to Doc Johnson Crystal Jellie Ballsy Dong for having the balls to strike out in a different direction with the plastic.

With that being said, It was not a success because people do not like big change from the familiar.

My wife and I looked at one 5 years ago. It was nice and she said it rode very well. It had decent power as well. I liked it much more than my wife did.

That is one Rugged looking Titan. I like that tray in the bed. Easy access to tools etc. Cool trailer as well. Nice rig. Best Nissan i have seen.

BREAKING!

Ram Wins Best Value Award

(WINDSOR, ON) – Chrysler’s Ram Truck team not only strives to build the best trucks in the industry, but also the pickups with the best value for their hard-working customers. That is a fact reinforced today with the 2014 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty pickup winning a Vincentric Best Value in Canada award.

Vincentric is a highly-regarded company with 10 years of experience in the business of automotive industry data analysis. This is the third year of its Best Value in Canada awards.

To pick its Best Value in Class, Vincentric fastidiously scrutinizes objective data on vehicles in each segment of the market, factoring in everything from the cost of insurance and repair, to fuel consumption, maintenance and depreciation.

“Once Vincentric crunched the numbers for the full-size ¾-ton heavy duty pickup truck segment, the 2014 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty was the pickup that scored furthest below the expected ownership costs,” said Reid Bigland, President and CEO of Chrysler Canada. “We are excited to share those results because we recognize that a low cost of ownership is as important to our demanding Ram customers as our reputation for having the longest-lasting full line of pickup trucks in Canada.”

“The Ram 2500 earned the Vincentric Best Value in Canada award by delivering best-in-class performance when we measured total cost of ownership and compared it to expected results for the 2500 and its competitors,” David Wurster, President of Vincentric, said. “Contributing to its success was its class-leading insurance costs, maintenance costs, and retained value percentage over five years.”

Ford produced an engine with two overhead cams (one cam per head) and hemispherical chambers in the mid-1960s. The engine, displacing 425 cubic inches and belonging to the FE family of Ford engines, was known as the "427 SOHC"; it was also known as the Cammer. It was basically a set of SOHC hemi heads that bolted onto Ford's FE engine block. The 1964 engine was designed in 90 days of intensive engineering effort[9] for use in racing. The 427 SOHC used the side oiler engine block modified slightly to deal with the missing in-block cam among other OHC issues.[9] Because of their power levels, and the fact that Chrysler had showed Bill France that a DOHC 426 Hemi was in the works, it was banned from NASCAR races, though allowed in certain drag racing classes. After the NASCAR ban, Ford continued to produce the SOHC, selling it over the counter to racers and others[10] who used it to power many altered-wheelbase A/FX Mustangs and supercharged Top Fuel dragsters. Connie Kalitta, Pete Robinson, and "Snake" Prudhomme all used the engine in their Top Fuel racers. In 1967 Connie Kalitta's SOHC-powered "Bounty Hunter" won Top Fuel honors at AHRA, NHRA and NASCAR winter meets, becoming the only "triple crown" winner in drag racing history.[11] Dynamometer results of the day showed the SOHC Hemi producing almost 700 hp (522 kW) in crate form (100 hp per liter).[12] The overhead cams meant that it was not as rpm-limited as the Chrysler Hemis were with their pushrods and heavy and complex valvetrains.[13]

Later Ford engine designs with hemispherical chambers included the Calliope, which used two in-block cams, arranged one over the other, to drive 3 valves per hemispherical chamber.[14] The pushrods activating the valves from the top camshaft were almost horizontal. In 1968, Ford brought out a completely new engine family called the 385-series. This engine's heads used a modified form of the hemispherical chamber called Semi-Hemi.[15]

In the 1970s, Ford designed and produced a small-block engine with hemispherical heads to address the growing concerns about fuel economy. Unfortunately, even with an ahead-of-its-time direct fuel injection system feeding a stratified charge chamber,[16][17] the hemi's emissions could not be made clean enough for compliance with regulations. This plus the cost of the valve actuation systems, along with the cost of the high pressure pump needed to deliver fuel directly into the chamber, as well as the gilmer belt drive system needed to drive the pump, made further development pointless at the time. Most 1980s 4-cylinder Fords used the Ford CVH engine, CVH meaning "Compound Valve, Hemispherical (Head)". In 2007, taking advantage of the improvements in equipment, computer controls, and chamber design during the intervening years, Ford introduced its non-hemi Ecoboost line of direct-injected engines.

I wish the guys well. They deserve it.

The truck itself looks very nice indeed.

The moderate lift and the ARB bull bar set the truck off. I wonder if the lift and canopy on the truck are ARB?

I did read some comments alluding to the fact that Nissan should release trucks like this. But why?

If you want a specific truck for 4x4ing, then you build it yourself. Assess you requirements then go out and modify your truck.

Buying an "off the shelf" truck like the comment suggested indicates to me the person/people don't have a clue about off roading.

They want it for a pose and cruising malls.

@Big Al from Oz
I disagree. Automakers don't build "off-road" trucks because they have an off-road package that offers what people need for off-roading, they build them because that's what sells well.

An off-road package helps people to strongly identify with a brand.

How many people who own a Raptor actually use it on a regular basis for off-roading?

Even though not everyone uses a Raptor for regular off-road use, it certainly has been a strong seller for Ford.

Consider the Z71 package, which in my mind is one of the worst offenders. It is basically a 4x4 truck with decals that people pay a few grand extra for.

You are correct that if someone wants a true off-road truck, they should build it themselves, however, from the perspective of the automaker, that doesn't generate much revenue.

What I mean by this is if I wanted an off-roading truck, I would go buy a 4x4 stripper model and modify it to suit my needs.

Does a 4x4 base model generate much revenue? Of course not. It is the top trim levels that have the highest profit margins, so those trucks are used for their "off-road" packages.

That is why I made the argument that Nissan needs a "off-road" package. Not because that's what people need for off-roading, but because it could possibly be a strong selling point.

@HEMI MONSTER
I don't disagree totally with your comment.

But, then look at some of the commentary on this site regarding certain vehicles. Even Mark Williams will allude to the fact that X vehicle is a great off road vehicle.

Enhancing certain performance areas of a vehicle will take away from other areas as well. In the case of this Titan it's FE must be abysmal, this doesn't even consider it's on road. But then again it will have more than made up for the degradation by much improved off road performance.

On road performance will also degrade. Just installing a reasonable off road tyre will make on road performance decrease.

I think we'll see less and less specialist vehicles like off roader in the US. The cost of meeting emissions, CAFE, etc will make it more challenging for the manufacturers.

But, if you want to off road, buy a lowest spec'd vehicle that will perform the task you want, then modify.

I have just about finished modifying my ute for off road. I'm right now installing the snorkel. I could have done it differently and cheaper, but I bought the highest spec'd truck I could, but then again I got it for a good price.

I haven't done an oxi though.

@Big Al from Oz
I don't disagree completely either, because ultimately we are just discussing two sides of the same issue.

I tend to look at these articles from the perspective of the automaker, because I think that's key to understanding the market.

The market doesn't always work in the best interest of the consumer, just looking at things from the perspective of the consumer tends to cause confusion.

What sparked my original comment is just the realization that Nissan needs to do something special to market the new Titan.

Is the Cummins going to be enough? Only time will answer that, but I don't think that alone help the Titan gain market share.

I don't think Nissan can just throw the Titan out there as an "average" truck and expect it to sell well. I mean it sells worse than the Tundra, and the Tundra doesn't sell that well either.

The key point I think is that Nissan does not have the kind of money to put into the Titan as does Ford, GM or FCA. Therefore, they are already at a disadvantage.

They have to win customers over by breaking into the niche markets that the others are either neglecting or not taking so seriously.

@HEMI MONSTER,
I do think Nissan with the Titan didn't invest enough into it's ongoing development to attract more customers.

Toyota did invest into the Tundra and you can see the results.

The Titan does appear to be built to a lower cost base than the Tundra.

You can even see this trend in your midsizers. If you don't invest in a product the consumer will dwindle. Nissan made poor decisions regarding both the Titan and Frontier.

As for these off road packages. All of those decals and eye candy indicates a specific person they are chasing.

If you were really after a decent 4x4 you wouldn't just buy because of the 'pretty, man trucks' they develop.

A 76 Series Landcruiser are exceptional 4x4s, and Toyota don't even need to bling them to sell.

Even our Hilux's are blinged with extravagant man'ism. A more 'luxurious' ute doesn't need to have stickers to state hey, look at me. I do consider than style of vehicle a wank.

@Big Al from Oz
I think that the market for full-sized Japanese trucks took off because of disillusionment with the American trucks.

Not everyone, but some people were fed up with quality issues or automakers who didn't stand behind their product, so people were receptive to these trucks.

After the "American" trucks improved, I think most people realized there wasn't a good reason to get a Tundra or Titan, except for the loyal Toyota or Nissan people.

Regarding the mid-sized trucks, it has defiantly been an issue of neglect. There hasn't been much reason for anyone to invest in them, at least in the U.S. market. I'm not sure when automakers had this realization, but Ford was this way for awhile with the Ranger.

You are correct that if someone wants a true off-road truck, they should build it themselves, however, from the perspective of the automaker, that doesn't generate much revenue.

What I mean by this is if I wanted an off-roading truck, I would go buy a 4x4 stripper model and modify it to suit my needs

Posted by: HEMI MONSTER | Sep 14, 2014 8:16:58 PM

Sure you could. Why? I disagree. Building your own will cost more money and more down time and no warranty or little warranty. Financing it on your own.

For me buying a Power Wagon that has every off road option factory with factory warranty and factory engineering costing less and financing through the dealer is a better option. Yes if we are talking a regular 4x4 than you don't have much choice. The Power Wagon is no regular truck. Drive off the lot and you are done.

Ram Heavy Duty pickup upgrades

Ram claims best in class horsepower and torque for gasoline-powered pickups (classes 2 and 3), with 410 horsepower and 429 kb-ft of torque.

For 2015, the Ram Power Wagon will have Hill Descent Control, which uses antilock brakes to control the truck’s motion downhill, for a smooth, controlled ride in rough terrain.

@HEMI V8
In the context of my discussion with Big Al, my argument was that automakers need the "off-road" packages to sell trucks, however, for the serious off-roader, that rarely makes sense.

Why? Because you are spending $40k+ on a truck that will get thrashed. Additionally a truck like a Powerwagon would need modifications anyways. Even most people who do any serious off-roading with a Raptor modify it.

Personally, if needed a truck to do off-roading, at most, I would buy a new 4x4 base model pickup. More likely I would buy something 10-15 years old and modify it to my liking.

Used trucks can be had incredibly cheap and any modifications necessary wouldn't come close to the cost of a brand spanking new truck.

Nissan is in the position that they need something "unique". Is the Cummins unique enough? It will probably sell decent, but how else will Nissan distinguish the Titan?

@HEMIV8
In Australia any reputable aftermarket supplier does cover the warranty of the vehicles. I would also think that these suppliers in the US would do the same.

The problem I find is the much of what manufacturers offer is more about aesthetics than function.

They attempt to appeal to the 'Wannabe's' and look at me types at the mall.

The vehicles they slate as certain vehicles do have improvements in the areas they target. But for the improvement vs the cost the manufacturers charge I think it's more about increasing the bottom line for the manufacturers.

@HEMI MONSTER,
Nissan do need a lot more than just a Cummins.

Nissan of late have been more active than usual with snippets of information. This information has really been of little use, like the baby Cummins Frontier. Even this article is great, but it states nothing of the next Titan or Frontier.

Nissan must release more and relevant information, not just general interest or concepts.

Concrete Information so future truck buyers will maybe think twice and maybe think to themselves......."$hit, I'll hold off on my next pickup and see what Nissan has to offer".

This hasn't occurred.

Or, maybe Nissan have nothing to offer?

@Big Al from Oz
I suspect that Nissan hopes Cummins to be a "lifeline" for them like it was for Ram back in the late 80's/early 90's.

That's not even to mention the FE advantage it has compared to the dismal numbers their current 5.6l has to offer. It can certainly help them in that respect.

The game is changing too fast to leave potential customers in the dark.

For example, I think Ford has done a decent job in getting the right amount of information out about the '15 F150, and to clear up concerns about aluminum.

If I was out truck shopping, I would at least go look at a '15 when they arrive on lots.

Would I go look at a Titan? Probably not. I don't know when they come out, what they look like, what the different powertrain options will be, etc.

@HEMI V8
In the context of my discussion with Big Al, my argument was that automakers need the "off-road" packages to sell trucks, however, for the serious off-roader, that rarely makes sense.

The Power Wagon is the exception to the rule. My 03 Ram is modified. 35" tires, 4.56 gears, auburn rear limited slip. Rancho suspension. Rs 9,000 adjustable shocks. Having to take my vehicle in every time i am modifying is a pain in the @$$. 4 wheel parts did not install my rear gear with the correct lash. Could not tow for 500 miles each time they fixed it. The auburn gear went bad after 30,000 miles. Out of warranty. Had to spend 400 more to replace it. Front pinon seal leaked because they used the old one replacing my gears. Rear pinon leaked later same problem.

My point is the Power Wagon needs nothing. Yes it is low for the wheel base in my opinion but has skid plates to rub on underneath. No return trips adding. No down time waiting at the shop.All the off road options are engineered for the truck. The financing is through the vehicle loan. With a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty. Been there done that. :-(

I am buying a Power Wagon. I cant think of one modification it NEEDS. I will add C.B. load the Ram box full of impact gun for flats, Air compressor, Shovel, winch accessories, High lift jack. 4 12x8 pieces of wood in case i get stuck. Tool box in the bed floor, beer on ice in the Ram box. :-)

@HEMI V8
The Power Wagon is the exception to that rule as long as the buyer will use it within the paradigm that the engineers designed and intended it to be used.

Yes the Power Wagon is a highly capable off-road truck. Same goes for the Raptor and GM trucks. I just can't think of anyone I know that has a bone stock off-road truck.

You are correct that an off-road package is a convenience assuming that it actually offers something other than expensive decals.

A manufacturer's warranty does have limitations, and I don't know what the details are, but I am willing to bet that off-road use is a easy way for the to get out of a warranty.

Aftermarket parts can be hit or miss. Whenever I deal with aftermarket modifications on any of my vehicles, I do extensive research and pick something that a lot of other people are using avoid potential issues.

To get back to my point, if a factory off-road package works for you, that's great. That's what automakers like Nissan need to offer.

Cool Titan. I looked at Titans (I use to have a Nissan Hardbody pickup years ago that I really liked) before I bought my Tundra. But a weak rear axle and Nissan's radiator/transmission problems turned me away.

@HEMIV8
Don't all your 4x4s come with skid plates as standard?

Hemi V8, here's a tip regarding off roading, keep it simple as possible. If you don't require a rattle gun and you can us a wheel brace, go the wheel brace route.

A wheel brace could also double up as another tool if needed.

Don't fill your truck up with useless or semi useless garbage.

I even don't use a gas stove as a box of matches is lighter and takes up less space. Weight, always consider dead weight.

Also, look at the probability of using the rattle gun. You might be better off buying suitable tyres.

A heavy duty air compressor under the hood is a great idea as is a deep cycle battery to run an Engel.

If you are going out for a week also have a decent cooler and use dry ice. But wrap the dry ice in plenty of paper. Dry ice also doesn't get wet.

@John Davies - Why would you need to put the cooler in the cab?

The problem I have is that they aren't efficiently using space.

As far as rock chips on the trailer, mud flaps could help protect it but if they are traveling in remote places they could easily be torn off.

Extra fuel may be necessary but that would depend on where they are going. The Titan has a small tank at 106 litres or 28 US gallons.

Yes the Power Wagon is a highly capable off-road truck. Same goes for the Raptor and GM trucks. I just can't think of anyone I know that has a bone stock off-road truck.

Posted by: HEMI MONSTER | Sep 14, 2014 10:51:57 PM

That is my point. With the Power Wagon you don't need to add anything. It all comes standard. How many people do you know that own a Power Wagon? No body has the options that the Power Wagon offers. Not the Raptor, Not G.M. It is the real deal.

@Hemi V8

"That is my point. With the Power Wagon you don't need to add anything. It all comes standard. How many people do you know that own a Power Wagon? "

I know a bunch of them in my Jeep club and seen many at our events. I have only seen one PW completely stock and that is because he bought it less than a week prior. Look at the Jeep Rubicon, and see how much it gets modified. So to say these trucks are perfect for everyone and every situation right off the showroom floor is false. Although I know why you are saying that because you believe that any Ram product is perfect as it is.

Nice truck, but outdated technology.
They wasted too much space everywhere for remote offroading they want to perform.

I like the project and it's for a good cause but I'm still not inspired by the Titan.

I get the feeling that Nissan makes cars and trucks and doesn't care whether or not people like them. Some people swear by Nissan, and Nissan does make good products and has good points and bad points like any other manufacturer but it seems like their reputation is lacking. It seems like people who don't own a Nissan or swear by them are highly skeptical or would never consider one.

The Titan has its issues and obviously Nissan didn't care enough to address them over the past decade. Similarly with the Frontier except there aren't really any serious issues I'm aware of, just the same old uninspiring design without much of a following. I'm sure the economy didn't help but that didn't stop other manufacturers.

I've asked other people what they think of Nissan and often times I get the response of "It's Toyota but cheaper" which is interesting because Toyota has built a reputation for quality and reliability that didn't start out that way. Do Toyotas last longer and have a higher build quality than Nissan? Maybe, but regardless it reflects in their resale value whether that is true or not.

Yes the Power Wagon is a highly capable off-road truck. Same goes for the Raptor and GM trucks.

- You gotta be kidding me. GM and/or Chevy hasn't had an off road capable truck since 1987 and that's a fact. That would have been a Power Wagon-Super Duty competitor. They've never had a Raptor type truck from the factory.

@All1, Of course you have to mod a jeep Rubicon. Low to the ground 31" tires no winch and no V8.

The best part about a Power Wagon is you can tow a trailer with it to the area you are going to off road. Moab, Glamis, Dumont Dunes, Pismo beach. Rubicon not so much. :-(

All good tips Big al, for me i take my home on wheels with me. My 24"toy hauler with all the creature comforts of home. A/C heating,oven, microwave, freezer,refrigerator,shower,toliet,T.V. with DVD. Change of cloths.

I had a Titan for nine years, it was a great truck and I will always have a soft spot for it. I just couldn't buy another with the lack of updates and I loving my new Ram so far.

@Hemi V8

"Of course you have to mod a jeep Rubicon. Low to the ground 31" tires no winch and no V8."

Wrong, the Jeep Rubicon comes with 32" tires and so did the Power Wagon up until just recently. Most true off roaders DO NOT want a V8 under the hood. A big V8 only increases your chances to break your driveline and suck more fuel. The key to not breaking stuff is more gear than engine power. Of course you would know that if you were actually into the sport instead of just regurgitating Ram marketing articles.

"The best part about a Power Wagon is you can tow a trailer with it to the area you are going to off road. Moab,"

The Power Wagon is limited due to it's size on many of the real Moab trails. It may only be be able to go onto some of the light trails or Hell's Revenge in Moab due to how open it is. However, it will not be able go on trails like Metal Masher, Widow Maker, or the Klondike Trail because it will not fit. As I said before, you would know this if you had actual real world experience instead of just regurgitating Ram marketing info.

Regardless, most of the Power Wagon I have come across have been modded by their owners whether it is larger tires, bumpers, a tune, or exhaust. Tires and wheels are usually the first thing for those that are going to actually use it for its purpose. Exhaust is mainly the first thing for those who bought a Power wagon to look cool.

@CT

Good find.

Hemi V8 cannot deny that one, and whole "Rams are perfect from the factory" arguement just went out the window.

Although, I think he is probably trying to conjure up a way he can spin it right now. Either that or he is going to shift focus on something else he thinks Ram is "class leading" in or only has even though the same can be said for any make by picking certain areas.

Anyone who does ANY off-roading will modify their trucks. Tires are the most common modification.
I've usually run a bush bar to protect the rad along with driving and fog lights. I've always gone to better tires.

Car companies are hamstrung by lawyers and been-counters as well as statisticians that show that 90% of truck owners rarely venture off of pavement let alone anything challenging. Most will bitch and complain about tire noise and poor wear if they put truly capable tires on a truck.

A greasy boat ramp or an inch of snow on the morning commute is as tough as it will et for most.

Even the Raptor and Power Wagon can be improved upon just like the Rubicon.

For instance, on the FX4, they give you hill descent controll which you cannot get anywhere else.

Posted by: CT | Sep 15, 2014 3:54:54 PM

For 2015, the Ram Power Wagon will have Hill Descent Control, which uses antilock brakes to control the truck’s motion downhill, for a smooth, controlled ride in rough terrain. The feature has been used on Jeeps already.

Not going that route this time. I do not need to add anything to my new Power Wagon. It will do everything i need it to off the showroom floor. Thought about modifying my new Power Wagon but after review i have no desire too. That is my choice.

@Hemi V8

Rrrriiiigggghhhttt! If you are gullible to think I believe that then I got some ocean front property in Arizona I have for sale.

@Hemi V8

This list of vehicles you will supposedly buy one day keeps getting bigger and bigger almost every time we talk.

I would much rather have a diesel in Jeep than a V8. I don't do any fast off roading in my Jeep nor do I want to have to carry extra fuel on trails if I don't have to. Hell, even the current V6 is plenty powerful to get the Jeeps over any obstacles it can gain traction on so a big 6.4L in a Jeep is just for show. I would take big power in my truck(which I already have), but it is a waste in my Jeep.

Here is another post where HEMI V8 states 6 different mods he needs to make to his Power Wagon. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but he does want to make significant mods:

I want a silver Power Wagon with black grill, black mickey Thompson rims, mickey thompson Baja claw 37"tires, leather,sunroof,alpine 500 watt stereo,4" Mopar lift, 6.4 hemi, K&N intake,flow master exhaust,cobra 29 cb,led ralley 4000 off road lights behind the front grill. Maybe a Ram box. :)

All the problems were after market parts. That's why I am not going to modify my new Power Wagon. Don't wont the hassle of dropping it off. Collecting dents. Only to return later because they didn't install them properly.
