Saw these specs in a Detroit Free Press review of the XD published this week:
Specifications as tested
Engine: 5.0L 32-valve V8 diesel
Power: 310 hp @ 3,200 r.p.m.; 555 lb-ft of torque @ 1,600 r.p.m.
Transmission: Six-speed automatic
Wheelbase: 151.6 inches
Length: 242.9 inches
Width: 79.4 inches
Height: 78.7 inches
Curb Weight: 7,480 lbs.
Is that curb weight correct? If not mistaken it weighs more than my Ram 3500 SRW with the 5.9 under the hood.
The review stated Nissan claims a towing capacity of at least 12000 lbs. but no mention of payload capacity. Definitely need some wallet capacity to buy it. The model tested (Platinum Reserve 4x4) had a sticker of 60K.
Yes, the Titan with the Diesel engine weighs more than the F250 (same config) with a 6.2L Gas engine by 200 lbs. "YET" it has a GVWR that's 1000 lbs "LESS". This isn't a HD pickup, it's a very heavy 1/2 ton with 1/2 ton capabilities.
