Dear Robert,

Iâ€™ve decided to upgrade to a new 2018 Nissan Titan XD. I know this model is available with a diesel engine, but I have no experience with this type of fuel. Could you tell me some of its benefits?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi, Tom!

This is an excellent question and one which isn't discussed nearly enough in Washington. A diesel powered engine is fantastic for heavy duty work, meaning itâ€™s perfectly suited to the Titan XD.

Diesel engines have a much higher compression ratio than gas ones. This results in far more torque being produced low down in the RPMs - hence the reason theseÂ powerplants are often used in machinery which is required to pull heavy loads.

Not only do these engines produce more power at lower ratios, but they also return better mpg due to their higher energy contents.

While diesel vehicles are usually more expensive to buy, they generally have a longer lifespan than traditional vehicles. Of course, you will still need to keep on top of maintenance.Â

Thanks for your question, Tom! Why not call down to Kirkland Nissan, Washington and test drive a Titan XD for yourself?
