In the automotive aftermarket, releasing an accessory or upgrade alongside the launch of a new vehicle is crucial to success.\u00a0Buying a new car is an exciting experience and aftermarket manufacturers would love nothing more than to ride that wave of excitement and turn it into a yearning to customize.<\/p>\n

SEMA, Cummins and Nissan understand this concept and partnered together to host an exclusive measuring session for the all-new Titan XD<\/a>. This opportunity gives companies a head start in designing and developing hop-up parts for Nissan’s next-generation Cummins powered<\/a> truck.<\/p>\n

\"SEMA<\/p>\n

The SEMA Garage<\/a>\u00a0aims to even the playing field between the backyard inventor and the more established companies by providing mentoring and a state-of-the-art facility that includes an emissions lab, 3D scanning services and fully-loaded installation garages.<\/p>\n

Manufacturers like A.R.E. Accessories<\/a> and K&N Filters<\/a> took advantage of this intimate\u00a0preview to take measurements and create laser scans of the truck’s dimensions and components. Gathering this data is crucial because the 2016 Titan XD is a completely new entry into the Nissan lineup.<\/p>\n

This “new class” slots in at just larger than a half-ton truck, known to many as a “heavy-half” or what I like to call a “half-ton plus”. Its stature and stance are larger than the standard Titan and it features a heavier duty frame along with a new Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel engine.<\/p>\n

\"Nissan<\/p>\n

Throughout the day, a gaggle of technicians molested this\u00a0truck, removing the wheels, body panels and even some suspension parts. They didn’t have to pull the engine\u2014you know they would have\u2014because Cummins provided one on a stand.<\/p>\n

While this is a pre-production example, the design is very near\u00a0its final\u00a0state, save for a few potential tweaks. Truck enthusiasts will recognize this\u00a0SolarFlare Yellow PRO-4X as the same one that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\"Nissan<\/p>\n

The Titan XD is the first of the new-generation Titan models to begin launching later this year, and thanks to SEMA, Cummins and Nissan, there will be a whole host of aftermarket accessories, upgrades and options available on day one.<\/p>\n
