Younger Nissan of Frederick

Mar 31, 2015


 
The ongoing Nissan TITAn Truckumentary series has released its newest segment, Chapter 5: Heart of Cold.  This new chapter is actually an extension of chapter 4’s voray into the world of durability testing.  In that chapter, Nissan took us behind the scenes of their testing facility where they showed the vehicle being subjected to a variety of durability tests including extreme weather testing inside of a controlled wind tunnel. This chapter takes things a bit further by actually bringing the new TITAN to some of the coldest areas of the country for real life weather durability testing.

For this testing, engineers took the TITAN to the locations such as Denver, Colorado; the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Fairbanks, Alaska. There, the team performed a series of cold tests which measure how long it takes for the TITAn’s interior cabin to warm up after it has been sitting out in the cold for an extended period.  Additionally, this also allowed them to study how well the truck actually performs on snow covered and icy roads and to see how much dirt and snow the truck picked up while on the road.
