The truck shares the stretched Nissan F-Alpha platform with the Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX56 SUVs SUVs, and is manufactured in Canton, Mississippi, United States. [2] The Titan is not intended to challenge the big 3 " Detroit Trucks" in sales numbers, but rather is meant to be an alternative to them and provide Nissan with some in-roads into the highly competitive truck market. The Titan is more " Upscale " compared to other pickups of it's kind, and therefore hopes to attract more upscale and wealthier buyers.
[2] Just one month after the European order books were opened for its all-new GT-R, Nissan has already received over 1,500 orders for the supercar " accounting for the entire first year"s run.
[2]

Initially, the Frontier was considered a compact, but beginning with the totally redesigned model year 2005 Frontier (introduced at the 2004 North American International Auto Show North American International Auto Show ), it became more mid-sized.

[3]
Nissan first offered the Frontier with a 4-cylinder 4-cylinder engine, the KA24DE, but added the 6-cylinder engine, the VG33E in 1999. That changed, with the introduction of the 2000 Frontier Crew Cab.

Automatic models featured Nissan's "DUET-EA" system, an electronic link between the engine control module (ECM) and the transmission designed to facilitate smoother, more controlled shifts.

This modification was done by simply unplugging the transmission pressure sensor located on the U.S. driver side in the engine bay.
