I wished that engine was available to other brands of trucks such as Toyota. The Nissan has never caught my eye and frankly its not a truck that I would buy. However it would be nice in a Tundra. Or if GM got going on the rumored 4.5 duramax for the 1/2 tons that would fit the bill for a lot of RV 1/2 ton owners. Regardless I can see a lot of sales for Nissan due to the engine alone, good move on there part.

Looks like you'll likely get your wish. Hopefully Toyota will too produce a truck with decent payload. Here's my source

This article ref a Tundra Cummins V8 was posted quite a while ago. Not a peep out of Toyota since this rumor started back in late 2013, early 2014. Very seriously doubt it's gonna happen.

IMO, Nissan beat Toyota to the punch with the 5.0 Cummins V8 with the help of Fred Diaz (former Ram CEO) who jumped ship from Ram to Nissan a few years back.

Toyota's operating philosophy is so, so conservative it's painful--lol! On the plus side, there is a perception that Toyota vehicles are more reliable given their reluctance to make big dramatic changes.
