Nissan is again turning to Internet crowdsourcing for help in building another one-off vehicle with the help of some 80,000 friends on Facebook. You might recall Nissan’s first crowdsourcing foray with the 370Z Project back in 2012, but this time, the automaker is getting down and dirty with a trail-ready truck that started life as a stock Nissan Titan.
Nissan has teamed up with the Wounded Warrior Project in building a capable off-road rig ready to tackle the rugged Alaskan wilderness with two WWP Alumni veterans in the cab. David Guzman and Kevin McMahon will set out on a week-long journey across Alaska with a little bit of mountain climbing, towing, and hauling along the way.
Like the 370Z Project before it, Nissan fans will get to vote on what equipment is fitted to the vehicle. A suspension lift, wheels, tires, and other modifications are among the listed items up for vote. Once the tallies are in and the truck is finished, the two vets will set out through Alaska followed by a camera crew. The end result will be several feature videos appearing on Nissan’s YouTube page in September.
If you want to get involved, jump on over to Nissan’s Facebook page to cast your vote. Then keep an eye out for the video series debuting on Nissan’s YouTube channel starting sometime in September.
