(NAPSI)-If you’re like most Americans, you’re just as likely to load up your truck with mountain bikes and camping gear as you are with tools and bricks.
That’s why this year’s hottest trucks are designed for both work and play-and why they can help truck lovers satisfy their need for both raw power and utility.
So what are some of 2008’s hottest trucks? Here’s a closer look:
Bigger And Better
One of the most popular full-size pickups on the market built on its already extensive resume when it introduced a Long Wheelbase (LWB) version.
The LWB models feature a longest-in-class 7-foot, 3-inch bed with the Crew Cab body configuration and an 8-foot, 2-inch bed with the King Cab body-18 inches longer than standard models.
LWB models also include a new largest-in-class 37-gallon fuel tank for increased driving range-up to 629 miles.
In total, this acclaimed Nissan Titan is available in four models-XE, SE, the PRO-4X and LE, with two cab styles-King Cab and Crew Cab. Plus, it’s sold as a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) in certain parts of the country.
The PRO-4X model, already a favorite among truck fans, offers a revised front end, wheel lip moldings and all-new wheel styles. But it also boasts upgraded off-road equipment, including Rancho Shocks, shift-on-the-fly 4x4 and additional skid plates.
Creature Comforts
Don’t be fooled by the truck’s bulked-up exterior. It still packs the comfort and high-tech capabilities Titan drivers have come to expect.
Enhancements include an available Bluetooth hands-free phone system, factory-installed XM satellite radio tuner, a heated leather-appointed seat and an 8-inch DVD screen. A new beige interior color and two exterior colors are available as well.
Power Packed
Never short on power, the truck features Nissan’s advanced Endurance V8 as standard equipment. The all-aluminum 5.6-liter V8 engine boasts 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque.
Plus, the use of advanced engine technology-such as aluminum block with cast-iron cylinder liners, forged steel crankshaft, graphite-coated pistons and Super Silent single-stage timing chain-results in enhanced fuel economy with no sacrifice of performance.
