The newest released segment in the Nissan Titan Truckumentary series has been released by the automaker, taking the behind-the-scenes journey of the development of this all-new model to a whole new level.  This latest segment is “Chapter 5: Heart of Cold” builds upon some of the climate durability testing seen in the previous chapter. Here we see as Ford engineers take the TITAN out to these extreme climate conditions to test them out in real world situations in some of the harshest climates.

In conducting these tests, the engineers took the pickup out on some of the local roads in cold climates such as Durango, Colorado, Fairbanks, Alaska and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This allows engineers to see how much snow and dirt accumulated when driving in winter conditions, a test that cannot be replicated in an artificial testing area.  Additionally, the team also performed a series of ‘cold test” in which they would start the TITAN at low temperatures and then measure how long it took for the occupants to feel warm.
