Yes that's what my door sticker says. Mine is a SV 4x2 and the gas version of my truck would hit 2500 lb payload.

It's my understanding a bare-bones "S", regular cab, 4x2, Nissan Cummins has a payload of 2,000 lbs. At 1,900 lbs. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess your truck is a regular cab, 4X2 with 100 lbs. of fancier SV trim?

With some of the massive discounts I've seen on the Titan XD's, I think the 5.6 gas XD Titan has the best chance of building a solid, long-term following. It uses the already debugged and proven 5.6 Infiniti engine and tranny which gets a respectable ~15/~21 EPA MPG in the standard, non-XD Titan. FWIW, the 4x4, crew cab, 5.6 gas, XD Titans at the local dealer had about 2,200 lbs. of payload. Now that's the kind of payload that earns legitimate braggin' rights as a real tweener IMO.

You must be looking at the regular Titan. The 2017 single cab gas Titan XD 4x2 S trim goes as high as 2,900lbs payload.

Demiles, there are brochures with best-case payload ratings, and there are door jam payload stickers on realworld, everyday trucks on a dealer's lot. I've never seen a Nissan XD Cummins with more than 1,700 lbs. of payload on a dealer lot. None of the more than 15 Nissan XD Titan gas trucks at our local Nissan dealer had more than 2,475 lbs. of payload. And yes, they were XD's because they had NO EPA ratings on the window sticker.

BTW, is your truck a crew or regular cab? Happen to have a pic of your door jam payload sticker handy?
