How many of you would trade in for the Diesel? Does anyone know if it going to be a turbo?

Not me. Probably gonna cost $$$$. Gas is fine for my needs.

It will have a turbo for sure. Almost all diesels have turbo's nowadays.

If it was faster, had more torque, maybe!

I've never owned a Diesel anything. I'll probably go test drive one. Don't they get betting gas mileage?

Sign me up!
I would trade for a turbo diesel in a heartbeat.
Would have bought a Powerstroke instead of the Titan except that it came wrapped in a Ford, and I had some bad luck with my last two Fords.The new 6.0L Powerstroke is very impressive in stock form, and with relatively simple mods it is a Titan Killer.Ditto for the Duramax and Cummins.

My father has a new Ford 6.0L he is getting in the mid 20 mpg's while driving empty.My Titan's best was 17.6L empty.
Although in fairness I drive faster on average.

Yep. Thermodyamically, they are more efficient (45% or so, vs. 25-30% for a standard Otto cycle engine). Which means better gas milage vs. a gasoline engine with the same hp and torque.

The gas is also cheaper.

Has Nissan decided to bring it out for 05? Or is it still being planned?

Potroast · 08-10-2004, 10:55 AM

I would trade for a Nissan diesel in a New York minute. My dealer said look for it in 2007.

1 ton Titan duelly with 500 lb-ft torque =

anyone good with photoshop? i'd like to see this one

*COTitan* · 08-10-2004, 11:25 AM

I would buy a large fleet of them if they came out. ford is the best fleet so far but if nissan does diesel they will get rich quick

All I want is a Diesel powered 1/2 ton TITAN. That is all. No H/D and extra expense.

I usually trade every three years anyway, soooo I would seriously consider buying the diesel. I would be eating my words though B/C I have stated I would never own one. But that was before Nissan entered the market.
