Nissan just started building them in 2016, and finding a used one could be difficult. I looked at a crew cab, gas, standard bed, 4x4, with almost every available option installed. I was surprised to see it still had 2100 lbs (from the tire / loading sticker) payload. The diesel version would be less. The "max tow" rating is in the area of 11 - 12,000 lbs.
The early reports on reliability are less than stellar on the diesel. Plus it has a CP4 pump and timing chains. I'd steer clear at least until the kinks are worked out. Besides, they don't cost much or any less than an actual HD truck with heavier components and full float axles.
