Nissan finally unveils the half-ton Titan (pictures)

The Titan bears many similarities to the larger Titan XD.

While you might assume they're built on the same chassis, they aren't.

The half-ton Titan's chassis is 11.8 inches shorter than the XD, but they share the same 79.5-inch width.

In fact, there are no common chassis components.

The Titan will be available with RWD and 4WD drivetrains and three cabin configurations -- single cab, crew cab and "King Cab."

Three bed lengths are on offer, as well -- 5.5, 6.5 and 8 feet.

The half-ton Titan totes a 5.6-liter, eight-cylinder engine mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission.

The V-8 promises 390 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque.

A six-cylinder variant will come out later on.

The half-ton Titan will be assembled in Mississippi and it goes on sale this summer.
