That is funny!

As for the truck, I am withholding judgment until we see some performance tests and EPA/real world economy numbers. If it outperforms the competition in either acceleration or MPG, they will have a huge winner on their hands.

If I were a betting man, I would say that it will fall short of the EcoBoost in performance and fall short of the EcoDiesel in MPG. If that is the case, it could be a tough sell.

Seeing that C badge on the side is interesting.

Don't think they do EPA on Diesel pickups?

UH that's a BIG "C" :B

I'm pretty sure they do as long as its under a certain GVWR. The Ecodiesel has EPA numbers.

The appeal of this truck for me depends on where the numbers come out. If it has enough payload to realistically to a 12k lb trailer, or 10k 5'er, and gets above 20 mpg on the freeway, I can see it.

Thanks, I was not sure.

I think the limit is 8500 GVWR. But the speculation I saw previously was the the diesel XD version of the Titan would be above the GVWR that required EPA estimates. I imagine if they don't have to publish numbers, they probably won't.

Nope, they wouldn't. If it is above the min GVWR, the vehicles won't count against Nissan's CAFE mpg standards. So that is probably incentive enough to put the GVWR right at 8501 (or just above the limit).

But a GVWR of, say 9000#, would probably allow for about 2500# payload. Would be right in the 'sweet spot,' I think.
