So who'll choose that one over the Ram 1500 with an Italian diesel?



One of each!

I'm disappointed that they both chose a V configuation.

 

[softailer]

it should be interesting






It should be interesting to follow the public's response to these new entries! Sure wish dodge had used the Cummins instead, I'm just saying...

Nissan had better step up to the plate with their new PU, the first generation was nothing to write home about. I suppose that with Fred Diaz running the show, anything is possible. It will probably be an expensive option with the driveline upgrades it will require for the Cummins engine.

That Cummins should have been in the RAM anyways, WTH???



That may have been an expensive mistake for our favorite truck brand... .

Mike,



That's what I'm thinking as well. With their 3. 0L V-6 diesel, Ram may have brought a knife to what's turning out to be a gunfight!!

Isn't the 3. 0L engine that Ram is using proven already though?

Cummins/Nissan Tier 2 Bin 2 Diesel Engine Development

I just found the latest information on the Tier 2 Bin 2 diesel engine development that Cummins is doing with Nissan (Program name is ATLAS). Here is the link http://www4.eere.energy.gov/vehiclesandfuels/resources/merit-review/sites/default/files/ace061_ruth_2013_o.pdf. The projected completion date is Sep-2014. I had thought this engine would be the diesel engine that Nissan would put in the next Titan, but it is still in development.

The new ATLAS engine is 2. 8L, cast in aluminum and it weighs 362 lbs w/out emissions. Since it is being compared to the Nissan Titan, the reference engine is the 5. 6L v8 and it weighs 514 lbs w/ emissions. The fuel efficiency targets are 21. 8/34. 3 mpg (City/Hwy) and they are close to meeting them. The engine output is 210 HP/ 350 ft-lb.

I think this engine might make it into the 2016 Nissan Titan as another engine option next to the 5. 0L V8.

Now that is an impressive report. It's a new day.
