Nissan Titan XD Cummins Diesel Fuel Mileage
Looks like the Titan/cummins/aisin setup falls short on the fuel economy both unloaded and loaded. Not sure if this run included a regen, but I'm really surprised how poor the unloaded fuel economy is...

Huh, just drove from stump town to the coast and back. Hills/mountains, speeds between 45 and 70 mph. 22 mpg, with my EVIC being typically 1% to 3% off. So still over 20 mpg.
That's kinda of a disappointment in the MPG category for the Titan, however they did note that it's still a pre-production unit. I also wonder what rear end since it looked like they were close to 2,000 rpm at 70 mph. Could be the camera angle though.
But then it's easier to understand why RAM did the Ecodiesel engine since MPG was their priority. I wonder what the design priority is for the diesel F-150 that was recently captured Pickuptrucks.com
I believe if Chrysler stayed out of bankruptcy you would have a cummins V8 or V6 in a 1500 truck. Fiat was the reason the ED got the green light.
On the F150 going diesel I would say they're going the same route as the ED and the baby Duramax for the midsizes to promote improved fuel economy benefits in an effort to meet the 2025 CAFE standards. Having said that I will predict the F150 will have more towing and hauling capacity so fuel mileage may not be the overall top priority with this engine since Ford is on target to meet the new CAFE standards while FCA is having to buy credits from companies like Tesla and Honda since they are not inline to be compliant in time.
