About Us

Welcome to CNTC – the Canadian “Nissan” Truck Club

CNTC is a group of founded by a group Nissan truck enthusiasts. Historically made up of Pathfinder, Xterra, Frontier and Titan owners, the dynamics and the goals of the group remains the same despite most having moved on to other makes and models of trucks. Times have changed as well as our vehicles, but it hasn’t changed who we are. We invite anyone with any type of vehicle to join, learn and have fun exploring the world off the pavement.

Geographically most core CNTC’s members are of southern Ontario, however members do span
from across Canada with even some even south of the border in the United States. The common
thread that binds us is a passion for our trucks and the adventures, both on and off the road.

CNTC members come from diverse backgrounds and of all ages. The club has evolved into a socially active, family friendly, and environmentally conscious group whose goals are to promote camaraderie, helpfulness, and responsible positive action.

History of CNTC

The Canadian Nissan Truck Club was originally formed in 2000 by a couple of Xterra owners with similar interests. Originally CNTC was founded as The Southern Ontario Xterra Club (SOXC) and was made up of exclusively Xterra owners. Over time as SOXC grew, other Nissan truck owners began to also join and take part in SOXC. This growth and change migrated to a change from SOXC to The Nissan Truck Club (NTC). After a short time it was decided that NTC should reflect the fact that it is Canada-based, hence why the Canadian Nissan Truck Club name was soon adopted as the next logical step in it’s progression.

In the years since many things have changed, including ourselves and our needs in our trucks.
We’re also not blind to the fact that Nissan as a company has also changed their focus along with
their lineup while at the same time we have new and exciting offerings from other manufacturers.
Our hearts in the same place and not wanting to reinvent ourselves, we’ve dropped the official name
of ‘Canadian Nissan Truck Club’ and go solely by CNTC as the club name, wanting to remove the
words “Nissan” and “Truck” that may otherwise give the impression that we’re a hardcore group that
only accepts vehicles from a specific manufacturer. Since the very beginning we’ve never turned away
non-Nissan trucks and now we’re looking to more accurately represent our current self while at the
same time not forgetting our heritage and the reputation that we’ve built.

So, here we are – welcome to our little corner of the virtual world.
