2016 Nissan Titan XD Cummins Payload
Saw my first one in the flesh today. Really had high hopes for this truck. My enthusiasm waned when I saw the payload sticker :( MSRP was $58k.

I think it was predictable. I think I wrote that I could easily see a 1200 payload, I may have missed it by a couple hundred depending on how they are loaded, but the results were predetermined. Giving a half ton, 550 foot pounds of torque takes a substantial running gear to hold up to that power. Having to outsource all the key components doesn't allow them to save a lot of money. The MPG looks like it misses the mark and at 58K for a loaded pickup, the price is out of reality for what it can do.
The answer maybe for Nissan is to increase the payload and sell it as a 2500. At least then it can find purpose. This heavy half ton idea has been tried and dropped by others. I looked at one today that 58K as well. Nicely loaded, some cool ideas, but not at that price and not with those specs.
