Those are good numbers for a gas engine. I haven't kept up to date with the Nissan Titan, but aren't the GVWR numbers increased due to the Cummins 5.0 engine? If they put the lighter 5.6 gas in the same truck with higher payload, that could draw a fair number of truck buyers...
2000+ lbs payload, 400+ HP and torque, hopefully respectable fuel mileage and a reasonable price. I think there is a market for this truck... they key being a reasonable price.
Looks like the Tundra is now at the bottom of the totem pole.
Tundra owner here, and I kinda agree. Toyota's done almost as bad a job at staying competitive as Nissan with the Titan, which Nissan really let die on the vine; they truck is virtually unchanged since 2004. The Tundra is virtually unchanged since 2007 except for new sheetmetal and interior. Not a good way to stay competitive in the 1/2 ton market. The irony is the Tundra's a great truck and could be so much better. Having said that, I'll be sad to see the old Tundra go, she's been an outstanding truck. Moving up to a CTD in the fall.
You won't regret it. These new CTD Rams are fantastic trucks. I went into the process thinking I'd buy a super duty but it didn't even end up being a close decision. Ram was the hands down winner for me.
LOL, no more true words have been said than this. After you experience the torque, effortless towing in any terrain, exceptional fuel economy and second to none reliability you will find yourself asking why you waited so long to go to a Cummins! I was a 20 year owner of Fords including a 7.3L and 6.0L diesel and I am now in this situation!
