Nissan has announced that the 2016 Nissan TITAN XD has been chosen as one of the three finalists for the 2016 North American Truck/Utility of the Year (NATOY) award. Each year this award is presented to a new vehicle after being selected by a jury that consists of automotive journalists from the U.S. and Canada. The three finalists were chosen from a group of 11 semi-familists following an evaluation by the jurors during which they considered factors such as performance, driver satisfaction, value for the dollar, handling, innovation, and safety.

“To understand the full significance of the North American Truck of the Year award you have to look at the cumulative depth of knowledge of the jurors, who represent major magazines, television stations, radio stations, newspapers and websites,” said Fred Diaz, senior vice president, Sales & Marketing and Operations, U.S.A., Nissan North America, Inc. “To be named one of three finalists is a tribute to the dedicated Nissan planning, design, engineering, development and manufacturing teams across America that have worked so hard to bring it to market.”.
