Nissan is coming out with a newly designed Titan with a Cummins diesel and 6 speed tranny..also has a built in gooseneck hitch.

It’s not out yet...I just put myself on the mailing list for it. I have stayed away from the Titan due to quality issues with the engines, but this changes my opinion a bit..

I subscribe to Truck Trend and their July/August 2015 has your truck as its feature article. Per the write up the truck is indeed very impressive. They listed the new Cummings 5.0 V-8 to have 310hp and 555 ft-lbs of torque. While more torque than any of the current 1/2 ton gas burners, thought that 555 was bit light for the engines’ potential. In the engine write-up, it’s stated the engine block is made from compacted graphite iron. There’s no mention in the article whether the cylinders are sleeved or not. Maybe it’s considered a given that the engine is sleeved but I suggest you confirm this nevertheless. I’m old enough to remember GM’s disaster with an unsleeved (modified gas 350ci) diesel back in the 70’s. Anyway, other than that, appears to be a winner in the making :)
