In the July August issue of Truck Trend Magazine is an extended article on the new Nissan half ton Titan. Equipped with a Cummins 5.0L V8 diesel and the Aisin 6 speed transmission this truck will be very interesting.
It's payload and towing numbers are impressive: Payload 2000 lbs and more than 12,000 lbs of towing.
310 Hp at 3200 rpm and 555 lb/ft of torque for the engine.
Suddenly what is towable with a half ton has expanded. And the "buy a one ton" crowd may have to re think their philosophy a bit.
Like it or not this is a very interesting truck.
Although I think it is going to be a great truck in the half ton market, I really doubt if it is going to effect the 1 ton crowd at all! Maybe the 3/4 ton crowd but even that would be a stretch. There are already 1/2 ton models that have over 2000pds payload and over 12000 PCs of towing but that still does not compare to a new 1 ton.
