Spy Shot 2015 Nissan Titan Cummins

Who knows. That's the current generation Titan. The next gen may be different. Sounds like they are jyst using the current truck to test the engine.

Payload?

The 12,300 pound GMC Class A had 5 lugs on the front tires. 6 lugs does not mean a limited weight capacity. Nissan means a limited weight capacity.

I wonder why Nissan is not using their excellent diesel engines in their trucks? They probably build as many diesels as Cummins does each year, but put them into small cars sold all around the world, except North America.

Fred.

Was the trailer using ST tires? Or LT?
LOL

Actually, that's most likely a 2015 with current gen skin. Lots of MFR's do similar testing. For example, the all new mustang from Ford is being tested with current gen skin. But the skin is all mis-fitted. That Titan certainly has some seriously disfigured panels. I'm guessing the motor and the frame are going to be substantially larger given the positions of the fenders, headlights, and cab/bed gap.

You want to see Nissan/Cummins trucks come to Columbus, IN. They have a few around here.

Likely not meeting US emissions standards.

Did anyone else catch what the trailer was being pulled by? We have another image of a 2015 Nissan Titan Cummins test mule vehicle caught in the wild. This time it’s this red, current generation, truck with Cummins stickers on it. This truck and trailer were pulled by a Ram dually. While it looks like Fred's not mad! :B

While this test mule appeared to be a 1500 series truck, Nissan sells 2500 and 3500 series NV vans with GVWRs up to 10000 lbs. So, they already have the running gear they need to produce HD pickups.

Around here the NV series trucks are pulling trailers loaded up with concrete weights up to probably 8500# to test the trucks and the engines that are fully emissions compliant. They have even been tested out west in the mountains.

Get ready... Fred will soon be touting how his Cummins powered Nissan will dust your VM Morori powered RAM.

And that my friend will "Leave a Mark!" :W
