Nissan Champions Volunteerism With Calling All Titans
Ever want to make the perfect mobile command center for first responders? Well, you're too late because Nissan just did it and presented it to the American Red Cross.
As part of Nissan's new, ongoing Calling All Titans campaign that recognizes everyday heroes who use pickup trucks to aid others, Nissan teamed with the American Red Cross to create and build the Ultimate Service Titan. The one-off mobile command center based on a diesel-powered Titan XD Midnight Edition crew cab is loaded with first-aid supplies and ready to react to disaster. Along with donating the pickup to the Red Cross, Nissan will be donating $1 million apiece to the Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity and the National Park Foundation as part of Calling All Titans.
The Ultimate Service Titan has a solar power generator and built-in Wi-Fi hot spot, allowing American Red Cross volunteers to communicate as needed. With its well-stocked bed box, the pickup can help volunteers provide on-site care to the injured. It also can serve as a rest area for volunteers and features a refrigerator, stove, microwave and sink. The Ultimate Service Titan started as a stock Nissan Titan XD with the turbo-diesel 5.0-liter Cummins diesel engine; the wheelbase was extended and a 3-inch Icon suspension lift was added along with custom bumpers, extra body armor, bigger and more aggressive tires, and oversized fuel tanks. It also sports a customized pop-up tent command center filled with first-aid supplies in the custom bed box, a huge assortment of recovery tools and gear, and too many lighting parts and storage spots to chronicle.
The new emergency response vehicle will be on display at the 2018 Miami International Auto Show Friday through Oct. 13.
Besides celebrating everyday heroes, Nissan's Calling All Titans seeks to encourage community involvement through volunteerism; find out more at CallingAllTitans.com.
