Spotted a Nissan Titan XD with a 5er and the 5.0 Cummins...

Really a survival situation as it was 116 F out. At least the cops were helping out.

Glad to see MCSO on the job.

That isn't good. I hate to see anyone have vehicle difficulties, especially in that kind of heat.

Just curious if the Datsun, OK Nissan, is rated to haul 5th wheel? I did see someone "RIG" a Dodge Dakota to tow a 5th wheel RV, but it was terrible handling, performance, and overweight.

Yep, I agree, I hate to see someone like this with problems. No one will know, but hope it wasn't a catastrophic failure.

Cheers, Ron

With proper social distancing to boot. Maybe a ticket issued was for driving with hood up or in possession of a Bosch CP4 injection pump.

It is rated for 5th wheel, GN, and bumper pull towing. Decent ratings too.

Yep, they actually have a 5th wheel prep like the big 3. Assuming you optioned out a basic Titan the pay load ratings could be very comparable to a well optioned 3/4 ton.

I wonder what exactly the issue was.

 

[Mikey-KE7LBB]

Suspension and engine may be up to the task, but are the cooling system, and tires???

I've had a couple of heat/tire issues in the past and I haven't enjoyed any of them!!! Kadoka, SD and Dunphy, NV are the most memorable ones...

100F+ both times= NOT FUN!!!

Heat shouldn't be a problem with an AC equipped Fifth in Tow...

Don’t worry ‘bout the mule....just load the wagon.

That was reality at the lumber yard
