2016 Nissan Titan XD Cummins Payload

[otrfun]

Saw my first one in the flesh today. Really had high hopes for this truck. My enthusiasm waned when I saw the payload sticker 😞

MSRP was $58k.

Yep all gm 2500HD trucks since 2000- up have at least 9200GVWR, my last 1500HD had 8600. So where the 8500 came in I'm not sure cause I have never seen that....

My 2005 2500HD had a 9200 GVWR as have all other 2001+ 2500HDs that I've seen. The 1500HD had an 8600 GVWR.

I am with you there.

2013 Ram 2500 5.7L GVWR 8,800 lbs

Depends upon YOUR definition of a half ton, or what "I" would call a class 1 truck. Since over 6001 lbs, it is a class 2 or 3/4 ton! Along with a LOT of 15/half ton badged trucks frankly.

I believe the split between an HD and LD class 2 is 8400, not 8500, but I could be wrong.

The split is at 8,500 and 8,501.

Techniquely speaking from the federal truck stds,
up to 6000 gvwr is a class 1
6001-8400 is a ld class 2
8401-10000 is a HD class 2
10001-13.5K? is a class 3
13.5-16.5 class 4
16501-19500 class 5
19501-26K is class 6

not going into 7 and 8.......needless to say, yes, a 35 badged rig with a less than 10K gvwr would be considerd a class 2, or 3/4 ton style truck. Even my 89 GM duallie, with a 10K rating per GM back then, was a class 2, as its gvwr was not over 10001!

What would you call all of the 2004 and below 350/3500 SRW trucks? Most would say they are a "1 ton", but based on their GVWRs of less than 10,000 lbs, they were technically 3/4 tons going by class.

Hell, most 250/2500 just ten or so years ago were rated at the same GVWR of 8,800 lbs as this Titan XD. So are those trucks called "LD 3/4 ton" trucks too based on what is said here?

You'll probably get a "ton" of answers from that question. :B

Ya I was wondering if we should start calling our 8 axle super B trucks "The 47 and a 1/2 ton" because that's the payload?

but no wait... lots of "1/2 tons" have bigger payloads than 1000lbs... and "won tons" have more than 2000lbs payload...
