Rumors are that Nissan is adding a new player to the diesel truck market with a Cummins Diesel V8 in their Titan

Engine is rumored to make 300hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. That would mean Nissan would have the torquiest light duty truck in America.

Sound attractive?

Most trims are 6-7K with the 3.55 and ~8K with the 3.92

So, unless a buyer goes with the 3.92 ratio or a 4x2 regular cab, they are limited to about 7k. Of course the 3.92 ratio will cause a drop in mpg. I still think the 5.0 would have been the better choice overall, and I know the Nissan will tow more (2-3k more) comparably equipped, and likely with an insignificant mileage hit. Only time will tell.....

The mileage difference between 3.55 and 3.92 is insignificant.
