Somehow Nissan will bring a successor to the Titan pickup truck to market, although it's not known how or when. In an interview with InsideLine, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn said that the Titan will remain. "Titan will have a replacement," he said. "We are staying in the large pickup truck market."

The next Titan was expected to be a rebadged version of the new Dodge Ram, but Chrysler canceled plans for that project shortly after emerging from bankruptcy protection.

That being said, Nissan may continue to use an updated version of the current Titan's platform, which also underpins vehicles like the Armada, Pathfinder, Xterra, Frontier and Infiniti QX56.
