Nissan/Cummins 5.0 548rwhp/930rwtq!
Pretty big numbers and shows just how restrictive the "made for emissions" turbo is. It says the stock turbo was at 2:1 drive pressure which is good for emissions, but bad for the engines longevity. ...

Technically, the Titan XD is in the same 2B trucks class as all the other current 3/4 ton (HD) trucks and SRW 1 ton trucks from a decade ago. Regardless of anyone's opinion on the matter, it is and 3/4 ton based on its ratings. Just a smaller version with similar ratings of a 5.7L Ram 2500.
Yes, it has the same or slightly higher GVWR than my 2000 F250. Big difference is the roughly 5K RGAWR versus 6K for my F250. If Nissan used the running gear from their NV3500 van they would be right up with or higher than the axle ratings of new 250/2500 trucks. But then they would get their lunch eaten in diesel power and torque specs of directly comparable trucks. They are really kind of in a tough spot.
