Nissan kicked off the show with the reveal of the 2016 Titan XD. The XD designation is not a trim level but a sign of more power under the hood, generated by a 5.0-liter Cummins V8 diesel engine. With a six-speed transmission, this new Cummins makes 310 horsepower and a colossal 555 pound-feet of torque, which is capable of towing up to 12,000 pounds.
The company also made it clear that there will be a vanilla Titan as well, and that both the Titan and the Titan XD will be available with gasoline-powered V6 and V8 engines. The V8 diesel is exclusive to the XD model. Body style options include Crew Cab, King Cab, and Single Cab.
The Titan XD is getting a lot of attention early due to its middle-of-the-road capabilities. It’s neither a standard pickup nor a heavy duty, but rather somewhere in between. You can read a full press release for a better idea of Nissan’s thinking and see more pictures of the Titan XD on Autoblog.
