| My best guess is that Nissan is notorious for sharing frames rather then building a new frame for each vehicle which is fine for small cars you just bolt on different body panels but when it comes to trucks you limit yourself to configurations and we all know that both the Armada and the Titan share the same frame. Enter Dodge, they have a boat load of frames in which to bolt body panels to thus opening up the Titan to different configurations like the Tundra offers. To me it seems that Chrysler and Nissan have decided it would be better to outsource to companies that already have tooling, engineering and manufacturing then pour out millions or billions to basically reinvent the wheel. |
