Check out this little surprise we found this morning in the Nissan News Room! Nissan has made the full press kit for the Titan XD available, media outlets are still gagged by the embargo, but we're not...

SV, P4X, and SL offer the integrated gooseneck option, the Platinum Reserve (PR) includes it standard. All trims except S include a Trailer Sway Controller.

P4X and SL offer a Trailer Brake Controller as an option, PR standard.

P4X, SL and PR will come with the Tow Package built in, S and SL must option.

One cool feature is the ability to check your trailer lights from your key fob. Optional on all trims except S, standard on PR. Same story for split tow mirrors.

On to the specs!

Great work!
The truck has hydraulic cab mounts. That with the NASA seats will make for an amazing ride. The 9000 lb GVWR is nice and necissary
RGIII decieved us once again. This truck is nowhere near 6000 pounds. Not even a base 2x4. The average 4x4 is 7300 lbs. That means 1700 pounds payload. Good but not great. Certainly less than that of the F150HD. With a 20% pin weight, that is 8500 lbs max. Only 11300 lbs with a 15% pin weight. Significantly less when loaded with a 5th wheel hitch. This truck ended up being heavier than any of us or Nissan imagined.
Also 26 gallon fuel tank kinda sucks.

Unfortunately, it may be looking like a 250/2500 will be a better option for me. My idea was to get a truck that could handle a 10,000+ lbs 5th wheel when taking the family camping (Havetn bought the 5er yet but didnt want weight to be too much of a limitation) and still provide a good grocery getter/daycare hauler/home depot trip type of ride.

Looks like it may be too close to the max for my comfort.

I believe there was a typo on the PR 4X4 towing capacity. From the other places I've read and simple comparison of the 2X4 to the 4X4 the Pr 4X4 towing capacity should be 11,560 lbs. I could be wrong because of what Nissan has listed, but I really would be surprised if that isn't the case. On all the other trims they only reduce the towing capacity from the 2X4 model by the weight the truck gains to be a 4X4. It wouldn't makes since for it to be reduced so much just for the 4X4 model, unless that one model/trim has a way different suspension or something.

26 Gallon fuel tank does suck. GM is at least doing things right by getting tanks bigger. My f-250 is 25 if I remember right and that sucks when towing.

Same here I was excited about the 2k+ payload Nissan's sold me these past 10 months. I didn't expect to only have this option on the base model only. I'm okay giving up 500 lbs on tow but payload I regularly load mine up with materials. I think my 05 Titan has about 1600 lb payload.
Anyone think the gasser XD with its lighter weight over the diesel would have higher tow and payload? Granted it won't tow quite as well but everything else should be the same.

That is a new bag of speculation. No guarantee that GVWR would be the same. I thought that the non dies Titans would be less heavy duty and not XD trucks. If would bet the gasser has more payload though.

my ram is JUNK!!!



My Ram rides like crap unless I have 2500 pounds in it.. I drive it all day for work and it has rattled its way loose. Makes more noise then a dryer with change in it, not to mention all the problems iv had with it. Cant wait for a smooth ride that will tow 10000 lbs.. I don't need a 3/4 ton. I will add a after ride air ride suspension and a good programer and will hit the roads.

Nissan is/was promissing a brand new segment of truck that was to fill the "white space" between current 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton trucks. Unfortunately, these numbers are not any better than a properly equipped F150. 12,200 lbs max tow and 3,300 lbs max cargo. (11,900 lbs max in a crew cab, 2,900 lbs max cargo in a crew)

Somebody made a mistake on those numbers anyway because my pro 4x Titan toes the maximum for a year in 2012 of 9300 pounds and the base model - 7000 pounds.

A four wheel drive vehicle would out tow and pull a two wheel drive vehicle just due to traction alone
What's traction have to do with tow ratings?

SAE J2807 Tow Tests......

http://www.trucktrend.com/how-to/towing/1502-sae-j2807-tow-tests-the-standard/
read all about it (hint: there is no mention of 4x4 or 4x2


The tow test procedures designed by the big brains at the SAE consist of a series of rigorous real-world challenges to determine the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) of a vehicle and trailer combination. The resulting GCWR is then used to calculate a maximum trailer weight rating, and that can be used to compare with any other truck that’s also tested using the J2807 standards.

Saw this last night and all I can say is that the towing numbers are fine, but oh, the payload numbers hurt. 400 lbs of spare carrying capacity when max towing on the top spec model... Painful.

I really hope they're readying a super xtra duty version of this titan as right now all they have is a truly **heavy** half ton.

Looks like my '06 has another decade of service left in her. :crying2:
