A bit aggressive on the off ramp there for the spy vehicle. Just about rear ended the truck.

Looks like a camo stripping party at work today. :)
 
this "While the previous Titan offered a bedside storage compartment in the lower outside fender panels, the new TITAN XD features an available dual lockable in-bed storage boxes that sit sight-unseen at street level and can hold a wide range of essential work and recreational equipment. Unlike other pickup bed storage boxes, the TITAN XD units are accessible from inside the bed without having to remove a camper top or tonneau cover. The boxes are watertight (and drainable) and can be used as a cooler for picnics or tailgating. They are also removable for times when extra bed capacity is required."
 
Not exactly an attractive grille. But not a completely unattractive truck on the whole. Still going to be regulated to sixth place in sales.

But, hey, maybe the diesel will crank up that market share.
 
I hear the gas model might get a "sportier" appearance with a better front end. Guess we'll see.

I hope so. The front looks too much like a GMC/Chevy (grille that is) and the rest follows the F150 platinum.

It looks like they tried to copy/match a lot of stuff from Ford. Those wheels look exactly like the ones on an Edge. The side mirrors look like those of a super duty without the bottom wide mirror. Looks pretty tall though with quite a generous amount a space from tread to well (comparing to my dads Ram).
 
It does look like ALOT of copyed shapes from other trucks but i like it yet.
Compared to other fullsize trucks on the market the gas varient as 4x4 would be my choice as a 1500.

Edit.

They copied that spot near the mirror where the window dips down like the F150 ,but i do remember the R34 does the same thing aswell lol.
 
It looks like a Chinese knock off of the F-150, and those cheap looking fake side vents? Good lord. I'm not sure what I was expecting with this, but it wasn't this monstrosity.
 
Those side vents are not actually vents. Just somewhere fancy for them to put the Cummins logo.
 
Couldn't care less about the truck, I am very interested to see how the V8 Cummins fares though. 555 ft/lb of torque at 1600 RPM sounds very nice indeed.
 
Something went awry in Nissan's 3D printer, because the yellow one is just a gawky launch FX4.

And the Aisin should be a good match along with beefed up chassis and axles. One thing that I would have liked included is a 8'bed XD King cab,but I can see why they went with the crew/6.5' to suit the weekend travelers.
 
I wasn't sure about the truck months ago when I saw it for the first time, but it's growing on me. Those complaining about the huge front end: It's that way to fit all the accessories required for running the diesel engine. I hear the smaller wheelbase, V8/V6 truck will have a slightly different front end and will be "sportier".

Should've gone with an I-6 from Cummins.... I've never like a diesel that was a V-pattern...

The Inline 6 they used in dodge did it better though...

I too am interested though how the V8 is.

Oh, I agree. Personally, I think the inline 6, 12 Valve Cummins is the best engine of all time. I have over 400K on mine and all I've done are oil & filter changes, a water pump, starter, alternator and voltage regulator. All while getting up to 25mpg in a dually.

I would've loved to see an inline 4 put into these smaller trucks. An inline engine makes more sense for a diesel truck and I feel they are much easier to service as well because they generally aren't packed in as tight.

Yeah I agree, but I think they did it to compete with the well known Duramax and Powerstroke. I rather have a inline, since they usually are better at producing torque
