And yet Ford, GM and Dodge have offered "heavy half" payload packages for decades. So yeah, someone did ask the question... and it was answer by Detroit many times.

 

Nissan has been struggling to find a niche they could exploit. This was a valid niche. But they guessed wrong on the take rate.

 

Kind of like when Toyota tried a flare side and failed miserably.

Yes-but those packages are a "check the box" on an option sheet. Not a stand alone model.

Exactly,

Nissan made such a big deal of the diesel Titan that now  it faces the public humiliation of ending it.

Had it just been an option on the Titan, Nissan could have quietly dropped it.

They had one, singular point of difference. Were they not supposed to promote that?

The XD was available with both the standard gas engine and the optional diesel. Either way there were upgrades over the standard Titan. The frame and suspension had beefier components added. Not sure how much of a real world difference there is, but they do exist.
