Nissan introduced the Titan XD a few months ago and it was positioned between half-ton and the three-quarter-ton pickups from other brands. Now at the Chicago Auto Show last week, they have spawned a baby brother for the XD, the standard sized half-ton Titan which is slated for 2017.

Let’s face it — if you’ve ever shopped for a three-row 4×4 as a family vehicle in the UAE, the Ford Expedition was never on your radar. The most popular choices in the mainstream full-size segment have so far been the Chevrolet Tahoe and the Nissan Armada, both very capable V8-powered SUVs that are similarly-priced and well-received.
