Those of you who brought up overkill in a 1/2 ton make a good point. I also agree that the bigger baby Cummins would hurt the payload of a truck that can't really afford that loss.

Not sure why the "half ton" badge persists here...no specs have been announced. If Nissan rolls this out with a 9000 GVWR, will you still call it a half-ton because it only has 6 lugs?
You guys need to look at the numbers before making any sweeping assumptions about about what this truck is or isn't.
