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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
