With the Dallas Auto Show in full swing, Nissan wanted to prove to Texans that its trucks are just as tough as the competition from Ford and GM. Nissan brought the Titan and Frontier pickups and Xterra SUV to the “truck capital of the world” to put them to the test on a challenging off-road course. The course contained rock climbs, steep descents, water obstacles, a rocky rugged terrain and much more. It is the only one of its kind in North Central Texas. Images after the jump…

1) Houston is not in North Central Texas.
2) The Houston Auto Show is not in full swing.

Seriously, where did you get Houston? The article clearly says Dallas. Get your head out of your ass.

Oh, and Dallas definitely isn’t the truck capital of the world, and I can say that because I live near there.

Well, I don’t live NEAR Dallas…I live IN Dallas. And yes, it is the truck capital of the world.

We know Japanese trucks can take a beating from when Top Gear abused a Hilux… they could always get it going with a few simple tools even after they put it in the sea, demolished a block of flats under it, hit it with a swinging ball etc…
Let’s hope they fare well in the US!

Japan is not a company. Thank you.

By near Dallas, Brian, I meant Arlington. Despite being 30 minutes away, I go to Dallas all the time. If anything, Fort Worth and Arlington are bigger truck capitals due to their conservative nature. Dallas, especially North Dallas, is more liberal, sophisticated, and its residents have higher incomes so they can afford to drive something nicer than an F-150. It’s like going to California or the coasts — people there are generally better off than those in the South or Midwest (except the major cities like Dallas) — so they drive imports rather than large domestic pickup trucks.
