My 16 has been problem free for 3 years now and I have no complaints. I bought it to work so it’s almost always hauling or towing something and it’s not a daily commuter. The reason I bought it is because it was cheap, 6k less than a big three gasser comparably equipped The 21 mpg highway empty makes me more likely to drive it.

Before taxes, tags, and trade $33,400. The sticker was $46k. It was paid for in full before it left the lot.

That's exactly $6k less than I paid for the truck in my sig, which has the 6.7 CTD in it.

SOOOOO, where will the Cummins land???

Cummins just picked up a new customer for the 6.7 that will probably buy more than replace the loss from the Nissan. I doubt that they were making money on the 5.0 anyway with the low volumes that it had.

The old tractor engine just keeps going

Nice!

Most likely this.....

"The B6.7 is the most popular diesel engine ever built by Cummins. Now in its fourth decade of continuous improvement, the B6.7 for 2019 features an EGR-free design that delivers 5 percent more power and 31 percent more peak torque than the current model. Cummins award-winning VGT™ Turbocharger sets the industry standard for reliability and durability as it increases equipment productivity. Increased fuel economy and longer maintenance intervals contribute to a reduced cost of operation and lower Total Cost of Ownership.
EGR-free architecture reduces complexity, improves reliability and reduces the cooling system space claim. Multiple component options allow for easier installation and maintenance. These include a choice of front- or rear-sump oil pan locations, on-engine or remote-mounted options for ECM and maintenance filters, the option of Rear Engine or Front Engine Power Take Offs, plus your choice of four turbocharger orientations; high-mount front and rear, or low-mount front and rear."

I paid $50k out the door on my fully loaded Laramie 2500 CTD. MSRP was almost $65k

Similar discount, Titan was stickered at $58k. As I said, I am sure the bigger diesel would have performed even better. I just wasn't willing to spend the $$ at the time. Even at $50k OTD that $8k buys a lot of beer :B

When I bought my 2016 Titan XD 5.0 SL 4x4 I paid $42k OTD. I could not have picked up a fully loaded one from the Big 3 comparable equipped at the time. They were all $50k+ before TT&L so I believe it. I used the hell out of it before selling it when my employer handed me a $48k Tundra. Titan XD was a far better truck than the Tundra for the money. It worked perfectly for my 8,300 lb fully loaded trailer. Would a 6.7l or 6.6l worked even better? Sure, but I wasn't spending the extra money and similar to demiles I was pushing 21 MPG day to day empty. I also didn't mind the looks.

Very highly doubt that.

The 5 liter Cummins is used in the Tiffin Breeze Class A Motorhome.

What was your out the door price before tax and title?

Our on highway rep from Cummins told me the 5.0 automotive V8 engine was designed for Dodge 1500 series trucks and vans prior to the formation of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.

From what I heard Dodge/Ram walked out on it when they saw that the fuel economy numbers were not going to be much of an improvement over the more powerful 6.7.
