Nissan will be showing updated versions of the Armada, Titan and Pathfinder at the upcoming Chicago auto show. Here are some highlights:
• Cleaner looking front end on Armada, but not Titan (strange?)
• Much improved interiors on Armada and Titan
• Titan now available with long-wheelbase on both extended cab (8' bed) and crew cab (7' bed) models
• Pathfinder gets (really!) powerful with 5.6L V8 with 7K towing option

Here's Inside Line's take: Chicago Auto Show: 2008 Nissan Pathfinder Gets 300-HP V8 and here on the 2008 Nissan Pathfinder .

That's some serious towing for their midsize model. It seems Nissan wants to raise the bar.
That's also a very long bed (8') for the Titan.
Good ol' Ghosn. He's always got aces up his sleeves.

Touareg & Cayenne still have it beat with a 7715 tow rating.

OH EMM GEE!!! I literally dropped my phone readine about the v8! I'm guessing its tuned down some to have 300hp and 350lb ft. Explorers everywhere are getting lost in the crowd, 4Runners are dopping to 3, and Mountaineers are going back to their day job.
Couldn't Nissan have put the 4.5l V8 in the pathfinder? Not only for slightly desceased performance but for the better MPG.
Otherwise, I like the titan, IFFY on the Armada, and LUV THE RIMS ON THE PATHFINDER. What will he come up with next?

I passed a Titan with what appeared to be the new revised painted front bumper and fascia on the interstate yesterday. It was even in the same tan (sandstone?) color as the trucks in the article photos above. Has Nissan made them available already, or did I just see one of their demonstrator / show trucks?

That titan pic is an 07 not an 08.
I'm gonna hang onto my 04 til the next gen comes out on the Armada.
I like the updated interior but figure they may add a diesel option so I'll hold out for that.
