Been biting my tongue on this for quite some time now

Nissan to Equip Next-Generation Titan Pickup with New Cummins Turbo Diesel Engine - Nissan Online Newsroom

Very cool! If it is somewhat affordable, a 300+hp/500+lb-ft diesel would be an awesome motor in a half ton truck. It would blow Ram's 3.0 v6 diesel in the 1500 out of the water!

I wonder if anyone will make a Titan-looking to not-Titan-looking conversion kit.

Titan is not THAT bad.

Its funny that even Nissan wont use a Nissan diesel. We had a UD box truck with a Nissan diesel at my last job and it was a big POS that was always breaking down and blowing turbos.

It should do well.

My guess is this has more to do with marketing than anything. This is a truck that needs life pumped into it. Truckheads will take a much harder look the next time they buy. It'll at least get a test drive, where it wouldn't have today.

I have to agree with Jim. If it wasn't for the 8.1L style fuel economy they would be pretty sweet trucks.

I actually think they look great. They might not have the best chassis or interior etc. but looks is something they got right IMO.

What do looks or interior matter? Notice "next gen" Titan.
