Nissan Diesel

[02SilverStroke]

Here's a link about a "commercial" version of the Nissan Titan that will have a diesel: http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060314/FREE/60313009/1041
They say the diesel supplier has not been decided. Since Nissan makes the UD trucks, you'd think they'd use their engines.

You never know. If the public demands it, they probably will. From what I got out of the article, it looks like they'll only offer their version of the F250, not a 350. As far as the engines go (the article also mentioned that Nissan wouldn't be putting a V-6 in their trucks), I work with a guy whose son in law works for Nissan, and he said that Nissan is going with power rather than economy. But that was before the gas prices got so high. As we all know, it's hard to second-guess the auto manufacturers.

They might sell some if they put a name brand diesel in it. Like CAT

That would make the competition even better. At least with a CAT engine, everyone would see how that engine works in a pickup.

I will stick with Ford....

I am trying to stay with American products but it is getting hard to find anything built here. The last four Freightliners I have drove were built in Portland OR. The one I just got was built in Mexico I am fairly certain that Nissan is not built here either.

Crumm, I agree with you about sticking with Ford. However, the Nissan Titan and their full size SUV, Armada, are both built in Canton, Mississippi. The Frontier and the Pathfinder are built in Smyrna, Tennessee. At one time, the Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis were considered import cars because of their content, plus the fact they are built in Canada. It's all confusing nowadays.
