For the next generation Nissan Titan I'm hoping it will come with a multi-link coil setup, sort of like what the 2015 Nissan Navara comes with. A setup that should help keep it up to par with the RAM 1500.
It is nice. The RAM 1500 has a self-leveling 4-corner air suspension. The heavier 2500/3500 has it only for the rear axle. That with the coils in the 2500, makes for a nice ride.The air suspension is a really cool feature. I would be happy to have that in the Nissan Titan. Why don't more trucks have this feature, companies must have been capable of providing it for quite some time.
I believe that RAM's are adjustable and can be set to self-adjust....
Airbags are a great technology but also have their own issues. Air bags are very bouncy. Nothing quite as uncomfortable as driving a partially loaded water truck with airride.

Once talked to a guy who drove a milk truck without baffles. Said if it was not fully loaded, and if he wasn't careful, it would push him right through a stop sign. Guess it would take some ridiculously large brakes to stop a truck full of sloshing milk (or water).:surprise:...
When the tank was partially full the sloshing of the water in the tank is not something leveling valves can handle.

BEEFIER SUSPENSION
To improve handling and ride comfort, we designed a new heavy-duty suspension for the 2016 TITAN XD. The double wishbone front suspension was reinforced and tuned, and the back end got a lot more rigid thanks to bigger leaf springs and overhauled leaf bushings.
