Building Ultimate Construction Titan XD: Calling All TITANS Campaign

Through March 8th, at the Indiana Convention Center, during the Work Truck Show, Nissan will have on display their Habitat For Humanity-inspired Nissan Titan XD. Nissan’s purpose-driven “Calling All Titans” campaign continues with the donation of the Ultimate Work Titan to Habitat For Humanity. This one-of-a-kind work truck is a Titan XD Diesel Midnight Edition, crew cab transformed into a home builders dream.

Since 2005, Nissan has donated more than 150 trucks and 16.9-million dollars to the Habitat for Humanity. Today, after their 14-year partnership, the relationship has reached a new level with the unveiling of this new “Ultimate Titan”.

“Though Nissan’s partnership with Habitat for Humanity has been deep-rooted for well over a decade, we are consistently searching for ways we can do more together,” said Jeremy Tucker, vice president, Marketing Communications and Media, Nissan North America, Inc. “Behind the rugged and capable foundation of our TITAN trucks, our Calling All TITANs campaign has provided a perfect platform to do just that. In a celebration of all TITANs of the Neighborhood, alongside Habitat for Humanity, we are proud to unveil this Ultimate Work TITAN, built specifically to the needs of the hard-working people on the build site.”

Nissan and Habitat have worked side-by-side with construction site supervisors and volunteers across the United States to find out what would fit most in this idea of a truck. These working men and women are passionate about their trucks and have brought forth plenty of great renderings. After further review, there were some of the most common suggestions.

Off-road capability is a must
The interior should be treated as a mobile office
The bed must be loaded with easy-to-access tools, ladders, and lockable storage.

These Midnight Edition Titans took some changes to be called the Ultimate Work Truck. These changes include an ICON three-inch suspension lift kit, adjustable-height coil-over shock absorbers, custom rod end bearings, and patent-pending Delta Joints. This all is a combination to increase ground clearance and enhanced ride quality both on and off the job site.

Anchored by Nitto Ridge Grappler tires and ICON Alloys REBOUND wheels, the truck adds Addictive Desert Designs bumpers to provide an additional layer of protection, while a WARN Industries ZEON Platinum 12-S Winch ensures the Ultimate Work Titan can help itself and counterparts out of even the most challenging situations. In the nighttime hours, Baja Designs lighting leads the way with custom worksite lighting.

In the midst of the chaos of a work site, often times what construction site supervisors need most is a quiet space to relax and get some paperwork or calls completed. The Ultimate Work TITAN has this covered, and then some. Knowing that supervisors are constantly in need of updated build site maps, blueprints, punch lists, daily reports and submittals – among a daily list of paperwork – a 13-inch laptop and a printer was added to help make life just a little bit easier. And not be overlooked in the back seat is a full mobile office, featuring a custom desk and file storage with an additional power inverter.

When it’s time to get out of the mobile office and into the work site, the Ultimate Work TITAN bed is a great place to start. Anchored to Titan’s innovative Utili-track® Bed Channel System, a BEDSLIDE 2000 HEAVY DUTY sets the stage for easy access to all the bed has to offer. Connected to the bed slide is a DECKED lockable storage system, where a site supervisor can confidently store tools. Commercial class heavy duty lockable toolboxes are included along the sides of the bed for additional storage.

Inside the lockable storage are some of the highest quality tools in the industry. In addition to a complete toolkit, other products stored within the bed include a table saw, chop saw, chainsaw, air compressor, and drill kit. A Zamp 200 Watt power inverter, as well as RIGID Extension Cords, was included to provide power sources in addition to the 110-volt power outlet included both in the bed and the cabin of the TITAN XD.

Of course, no home can be built without a ladder. Atop the Ultimate Work Titan sits a TrailFX aluminum ladder rack featuring multiple commercial grade ladders, easily accessible with the help of the TITAN XD dampened assist tailgate.

Meanwhile, TITAN XD’s 14 cup holders will ensure everyone has a spot during their hard-earned water break. And at the end of another long day at the job site, builders will rest easy on the standard TITAN XD Zero Gravity seats, enjoying music on the new Fender® Premium Audio System, reflecting on a job well done.

The Ultimate Work TITAN will be on display during the Work Truck Show at the Indiana Convention Center through March 8.
