Surprisingly the nissan titan has been in constant production since the 2004 model year it’s the big up markets backmarker the 12,000 527 titans sold in 2014 about equals how many f-series ford produces every five days no one thinks about it no one talks about it and few outside of its canton mississippi assembly plant would have missed the titan if nissan had humanely
Euthanized it but it lives after nearly becoming a rebadged reminisce on chrysler joint venture that fell apart in 2009 a new 2016 tightness here to pursue the big truck zeitgeist actually it’s sort of two trucks first there’s the regular tighten that to oversimplify the matter samrat is the new titan body about the old titan frame then there’s this the titan xd
Which has mostly new bits underneath and it’s only fear lat her frame according to nissan the xd slightly slots between half and three quarter ton pickups we’ve been able with the titan xd to position the spring rates lower than what a three quarter ton truck would be explains nissan’s titan product planning titan richard miller we’ve been able to offer a softer
More compliant ride while still offering 12,000 pounds of towing or more and because of the softer springs we’ve used hydraulic cab mounts which take out what we call smooth road shake much better than rubber cab mounts so call it a 58 ton truck but it’s otherwise familiar it has a control arm front suspension with coil springs the tail rides a top leaf springs
And the steering is recirculating ball conventional stuff eventually available in 3 cap configurations and two wheelbases the titan xd will initially be sold as a gargantuan crew cab with a long bed from 240 2.8 inches over a 150 1.6 inch wheelbase that’s a 5.2 inch shorter wheelbase than the longest ford f150 supercrew though the nissan’s longer overhangs mean
That its overall length is only 0.9 inch less and like other big pickups the titan xd emphasizes its massiveness with a nose so tall that grown-ups must stand on tippy toes to peer over the fenders into the engine bay in there nissan beckons cummins cultists with an engine not offered in any ram a new 5.0 litre turbo diesel v8 the new v8 rates at 310 horsepower and
555 lb-ft of peak torque at 1,600 revolutions per minute that’s between the ram 1500 svm natori made 3.0 liter eco diesel turbo v6 at 240 horsepower and 420 lb-ft and the ram 2500 6.7 liter cummins turbo diesel 6 at 350 horsepower in 660 lb-ft and nissan’s diesel produces much less power than the big turbo diesel v8 s in the heavy-duty trucks from ford and general
Motors which produce 440 horsepower and 860 lb-ft and 397 horsepower in 765 lb-ft respectively nissan will eventually offer an updated version of the old 5.6 leader gas-burning v8 in the new xd the pre-production 4×4 test truck lacked running boards but was otherwise resplendent in platinum reserve trim nissan coyly says titan xd diesel pricing will start around
Forty thousand dollars and top that around sixty thousand dollars naturally the titan xd platinum reserve includes every tech toy and is decked out leather than a ruth’s chris steakhouse booth the seats are comfortable with excellent back support the controls mostly logical and thick insulation means the idling cummins is barely heard riding on 20-inch wheels and
265 section general grabber hts tyrus the titan xd steering is slow while the ride is cushy the a’s in six speed automatic shifts were gentle and confident even while towing my own 2002 yotube tundra on a trailer behind it and the xd is utterly stable considering its heft it ought to be the unladen titan xd needed nine point two seconds to reach 60 miles per hour
In 17.0 seconds to complete the quarter mile while moseying at 82 miles per hour that’s a little behind the crew cab ram ecodiesel which hit 60 miles per hour in 9.0 seconds flat and ran the quarter mile in 16.9 seconds but that 5688 pound ram seems feathery compared with the stupendously heavy 7360 pound titan xd that’s three and a half tons plus three jockeys mass
Limits the titan xd to a 0.7 4g skid pad orbit while the 70 20 braking distance with a mediocre 192 feet over 566 miles the xd returned 15 miles per gallon nissan has added some sweet cargo handling features to the titan xd’s bed with adjustable rail cleats for tie downs in low mounted led lighting nice boat hardly paradigm shattering is there a place in the market
For a diesel-powered full-size pickup with less performance than heavy duty competitors offer bit with a nearly heavy-duty amount of heft nissan is about to find out of course nissan has virtually nothing to lose with this truck either an earlier version of the story erroneously underreported our observed fuel mileage it is now accurate in the spring rates lower
