With the new 2016 Nissan Titan XD, Nissan looks to jump back into the fray of the highly-contested pickup truck market. Shooting for a nice balance between the efficiency and livability of a ½ ton and the performance and capability of a ¾ ton, the 2016 Nissan Titan XD could serve as the “Mama Bear” option to buyers shopping around the offerings of other more-established competitors. In other words, it seems just right.
The Cummins Diesel is Coming for You, Big Three!
What really makes the 2016 Nissan Titan XD stand out is the all-new Cummins 5.0-liter turbocharged V8 diesel engine sitting pretty under the hood (yes, we said a Cummins diesel). A Cummins diesel brings a level of heritage, performance, and reliability to the new Titan, much like it did for Dodge a few decades back. All in all, the engine produces 310 HP and a whopping 555 lb-ft of torque. That – combined with an AAM 9.84-inch rear axle and a 3.916 gear ratio – helps give the 2016 Nissan Titan XD the ability to tow nearly 13,000 pounds or carry over 2,000 pounds in its bed. Pretty impressive stuff, if you ask us.
The new 2016 Nissan Titan XD lift kit from ICON Vehicle Dynamics give the truck a powerful stance.
The Key to Success
A big key to the future success of the new 2016 Nissan Titan XD is a flourishing aftermarket presence. Luckily, Nissan appears to be actively supporting its consumers’ desire to modify their rides. Earlier last year, Nissan invited some major players in the aftermarket truck scene to a Titan “measuring session” to help aid them in manufacturing future accessories. Well, we have now begun to enjoy the delicious fruits of this labor with an all-new 2016 Nissan Titan XD lift kit from ICON Vehicle Dynamics!
