Surprised that the final mass is 800 lbs. That's pretty darn good. Also surprised that on another video, they stated payload of the Titan XD to be north of 2,000 lbs. So that payload and 12k towing is perfect for those that want a smaller 5'er or travel trailer. I think Nissan has targeted the right group. I also love how simplistic the compound turbo setup is. The turbo assembly only has 4 moving parts counting the wastegate, M2 turbine nozzle, and the turbine/compressor wheel assemblies for both turbos. Far more elegant than International's attempt with the VG turbo and large fixed turbo. Hopefully it works out in the real world as well.
Surprised Cummins used only 4 head bolts per cylinder and all that chain on the front of that engine is crazy.
I noticed the head bolt count as well... I hope that Cummins was able to dial in the clamping force needed to keep the head gaskets stable.
Time will tell...
As for the chains, it may be a non issue, I know that Ford has had good success with the huge and long timing chains on the OHC motors it has had for nearly 25 years.
Time will tell there too. M
Thanks!
