And the soft, vague feel of the brake pedal did not inspire confidence on the road. The 205 feet it took for the gas XD to stop from 70 mph is more toward the realm of true heavy-duty trucks than light-duty ones. Blame the Pro-4X’s off-road-oriented extras, especially the knobby General Grabber APT tires. Both versions of the Titan have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 8500 pounds, meaning they are exempt from EPA fuel-economy testing ( for now), but we averaged 13 mpg in the gasoline V-8 model compared with 15 mpg in the diesel.ĭespite its lower mass, the gasoline-powered Titan XD fell short of its diesel sibling in skidpad and braking evaluations. That makes the diesel a smarter choice for those who tow frequently, even if its maximum towing capacity of 12,314 pounds is only slightly more than the gas V-8’s max of 11,270 pounds (both numbers are for the rear-wheel-drive versions). Although the gas V-8’s seven-speed automatic transmission manages the engine’s thrust well most of the time, this engine’s peakier nature simply isn’t as well suited to a workhorse.

The Cummins V-8’s 555 lb-ft comes on at a low 1600 rpm, while you have to wait until 4000 rpm to get the Endurance V-8’s full 401 lb-ft. Those numbers don’t tell the whole story, though, because the gas and diesel engines deliver their outputs differently. We weren’t surprised to find that the gasoline-powered truck delivered better acceleration, going from zero to 60 mph in 7.4 seconds (1.8 seconds quicker) and running the quarter-mile in 15.8 seconds (1.2 seconds quicker). Our gasoline-powered Titan XD Pro-4X test truck weighed a whopping 678 pounds less than a roughly equivalent diesel Titan XD that we tested last year. It’s a smooth engine with dual overhead camshafts and an aluminum block. Power is up from 317 to 390 horsepower, and torque increases from 385 to 401 lb-ft.

The 5.6-liter V-8, which Nissan calls Endurance, is a thoroughly updated version of the V-8 offered in the last-generation half-ton Titan pickup.
