Was reading about Cummins and the new ISG platform and found this at the bottom of the article. I remember Toyota or Nissan hinting at a 1 ton truck years ago at one of the auto shows but have not seen anything since. Is Nissan branching out with the Titan? It's only a 5.0L so I suppose being that small it could be in the half ton pickup. Would not mind seeing a Toyota or Nissan 1 ton with a Cummins or a Toyota with a diesel.
"Recently, Cummins’s 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel engine found it was way into Nissan Motor Co. Ltd.’s (NSANY) next-generation full-size Titan pickup truck. Columbus Engine Plant (CEP) of Cummins is being developed to produce the said engine, which is being integrated into Titan as part of a partnership between Cummins and the automaker. The partnership promises mutual benefit. While Cummins is expanding its business, Nissan is expected to win a larger customer base."
