I wonder why Nissan does not want to use one of the smaller diesels (1.8-2.4) that they put in that size truck for global market. Or maybe they will and pay Cummins to use the brand name?
Firstly the Cetane level of US Diesel is a lot lower than what you get in Europe and elsewhere. 2.5litre is the smallest diesel you get in a Nissan Pickup globally.
Nissan have been working with Cummins to get a Diesel engine that can run well on the fairly rough stuff you get in the US.
The Spanish built Nissan Navara is a bulked up version of the Frontier with a 2,100lb payload Dual Cab and 405 lbs ft of torque from the 3 Litre diesel.
Nissan Navara 3 litre 405lbs ft of torque.
