2016 Nissan Titan XD with 5.6L Gas
Pretty interesting valve train and very high compression engine on this new VD series engine. I think I would have used a different series name for a engine. :B Enjoy.... Link

I am really excited about this motor and this truck.
Kind of surprised the lie-o-meter hit 18.5 MPG
the comment on the drive ability of the gas vs the diesel was one short comment that caught my attention...would be interested to see how they actually are behind the wheel.
Thanks!

Yes, I noticed that too - sounds like this drives much better than the diesel version. Seems to me this truck hits the target of the 'heavy half ton' pretty well. The diesel with the heavy engine and transmission did not leave enough payload to make the strong engine relevant. But this version with 2,500+ payload provides a good balance in engine and payload. Not too excited about the 26 gallon tank.
Jerimiah, I am looking forward to hearing from you after you take one of these for a test drive. Curious what you think about this compared to competitors offerings, particularly what you think of the ride and handling. I guess I would be curious how this compares to the Big 3 3/4 tons.
Keep us posted.
Good luck,
Stu
