Chrysler & Nissan – A Match Made In Truck Heaven?
In today’s economy, if you’re going to buy a truck you might as well go all out. Gas prices may decrease, cost of living rates may fall – or not. But you need a vehicle with one rugged engine and towing capacity to boot. But maybe you’re not a fan of many American made pickup trucks. In the past we at Chryslerpedia would just say “your loss.” Today, all that is going to change. This week Chrysler sent out a press release announcing their new powerful partnership with Nissan.
Starting in 2009 Chrysler LLC and Nissan Motor Co. will team up for future productions of the Nissan Titan. So, if you’re not into the new Dodge Ram 1500 fear not, truck buyers will be able to get themselves into a Chrysler-Dodge HEMI powered Titan by next decade. Along with a HEMI, Chrysler will supply the framework for Titan as well, continuing through 2011 – which is when North American truck fans will be able to purchase a Chry-ssan Titan. Wait, you’re not a truck fan but one of those small-car niche market people? You too will benefit from this foreign & domestic partnership – Nissan will manufacture a Chrysler fuel-efficient compact car, based on Chrysler concept models. While the Titan is being produced in North America, Chry-ssan’s green vehicle will be produced at Nissan’s Japanese plant.
