Trouble with a Titan XD

This is the worst review that I have seen so far on the Titan diesel. I hope that it is an isolated case:

  • Better of getting the 6.7L Cummins. You get more power and there is not much of a difference in fuel economy. The only reason Cummins created the ISV5.0 was to make an engine that would fit into to tighter spaces where an inline 6 of the same displacement would have a hard time fitting into like cab overs and vans.
  • I've had good luck with Nissan in the past but the XD would have me leery. All new engine in an all new truck, and there are things about that engine I really dislike such as the timing chains and infamous CP4 grenade. I don't really see much in the way of advantages compared to getting the bigger Cummins in the Ram.
  • That would sure keep me way if I were researching whether or not to buy. That said, any brand can have an isolated lemon. The question with a relatively new model is "how isolated is this problem?"
