Nissan Titan XD road test
Pickuptrucks.com actually did test the Titan XD during their last 1/2 ton showdown. Looks like the Titan XD did pretty good against the competition. Here's the article. http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2...

I looked at one at the Houston Auto Show. The payload sticker showed 1,377 lb, which seemed low for a supposed HD pickup. But, I assume they must have it officially classified as a 3/4 ton, because it is not required to have official EPA fuel economy numbers posted on the sticker like every other 1/2 ton pickup does. I asked the Nissan rep about this, and she had absolutely no clue. She just wanted to talk about how nice the paint was.
That has to do with GVWR. Vehicles over 8500 don't have EPA fuel economy ratings. Nothing to do with "1/2 ton", etc. My old "3/4 ton" Chevy had a GVWR of only 7200. 20 years ago a "1 ton" F350 had a GVWR of 9000, virtually the same as the Titan XD.
