Nissan Preparing Facelift for Titan Pickup Truck

The Nissan Titan pick-up was first introduced in 2004 and after four years on the market Nissan will surely be looking to fend off a mid-life crisis for the model. Judging by this sole spyshot taken by the good folks at CarPix, we can confirm plans are well and truly in motion for a facelift for the 2009 model year.

Clearly by the heavy camoflage worn by this prototype the front end is set for some heavy modifications, but we expect more of the engineer's work to focus on the pick-up's powertrain. Power for the current model comes solely from a 317 horsepower 5.6 liter V8 petrol engine, but the engine range will be doubled for the facelift with the introduction of a diesel engine.

Further down the line Mitsubishi will introduce a successor for the Nissan Titan which is rumoured to be based on the platform of the 2009 Dodge Ram.

How can Mitsubishi introduce a successor for the Nissan Titan? I guess it's also pretty much confirmed the next Titan will be based off the Dodge Ram pickup in exchange for Nissan providing a small car to Chrysler (me thinks Nissan Cube with new body panels and called the Dodge Hornet).

In USSR, in Stalin era they have a car "factory" ZIM, (Zavod Imeni Molotova) - "Factory in the name of Moltov", hahahahaa, Molotov was a real petrol-head almost like Ghosn in Nissan.
