What that torque curve tells me is that there is lots of room for tuners to make a monster.

Would tuners lower the rev range even more?

 

[FJC-4x4]

The curve is way too flat between 1850-2900 rpm to not be voluntarily computer limited.

I see engine torque rise up to 575 ft.lbs in future model years.

 

[NavyCuda]

Would tuners lower the rev range even more?

Yes, but they'll probably like the chain driven DOHC arrangement even more. I would expect to see 5000rpm tunes pretty quick after release.

I would say the guess of 575 ft.lbs in the future is pretty accurate, I'd guess they'll peak the ISV out at 375hp, 600ft.lbs... if there is ever a hp race in its segment.

Yea, those charts are probably man-made from theoretical #'s.

I've heard some express longevity concerns with Nissan's design choice of engine silencer/dampeners. I googled it but couldn't locate the discussion.

I'm sure Cummins did their homework but still wonder how durable it will be. It all comes down to the weakest component link. How many miles/hours is the engine is expected to last?

Well Nissan has been testing the Titan XD for 600,000km of lifespan.

In regards to the engine, it's the most advanced diesel engine on the market and has been in development since 1998. Cummins has earned their reputation. So you need better evidence than hearsay to be concerned about the ISVs lifespan.

I think that's just about right for most car makers, i've even heard of car makers testing vehicles up to 1 million miles but it was with multiple vehicles.

I'm not here to follow your lead.

I thought I was clear the info I shared was anecdotal. No need to go off the deep end for effect.

Hard to say either way on how long the engine will last.
600,000km is ample testing distance for the Titan XD because most people drive around 20,000km per year. This is just the average number provided by the National Joint Council of the Public Service of Canada but with that as a basis the Titan XD should last you for years to come. This doesn't factor in the amount you tow and the strain you put on the truck.
