Nissan To Build New Half Ton Pickup Truck
More in: Nissan | Comments | Permalink | 34,174 Views

Nissan's CEO Carlos Ghosn has stated the company "will build a successor to the current Titan half-ton pickup" as well as "Titan will have a replacement, we are staying in the large pickup truck market". Mr. Ghosn did not state whether or not the automaker will build in the next generation pickup truck themselves or with a partner. Plans with Chrysler to build a new pickup truck fell through over the summer. Nissan might also enter the heavy duty pickup market, but competition for the spot would be awfully fierce with Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge dominating the category. Judging how sales have gone for the Titan pickup over the past 5 years (which have sucked), I wouldn't bet on a competitive heavy duty truck any time soon.

General Motors began production of the 2010 Hummer H3 again late last week after a short delay earlier this year due to the economy. Just how low was their inventory of Hummer H3 SUV's? Only 1,183 units nation wide with sales down more than 50 percent, a figure that is phenomenal in comparison to just a couple years ago. Hummer fans can find a new biofuel option on the new 2010's, two new colors added, and should see the new H3's arriving at dealerships next month.
