Jmtandem,
You are absolutly correct. The new Titan will shake things up as well. I can't imagine 500 lb ft of TQ in a light duty truck. Heck, my old V10 only had 400 ish lb ft. If the story was true tap hat I read about the possibility of the Titan having a Heavy duty package that will up payload and tow rating... nissan may really have something good that the market will respond positively too.
GM has the NHT package
Ford has Max Tow and Max Payload packages
Now Nissan with a HD type package.
Toyota needs to get on the ball. Lol
Thanks!
Jeremiah
