Performance defies a one-size-fits all philosophy - which is why Nissan bolstered its 2018 Titan XD with two distinct engine options. Each emphasizes specific power ratios to accommodate driver needs, ensuring a bespoke experience with every mile.
No longer compromise, Seattle.
As the JD Power team explains, the new Titan XD offers two engines - a traditional combustible powerpoint and a diesel alternative. Let’s examine them both:
Traditional
The 5.6L Endurance V8 delivers exceptional strength - generating 390 HP (5,800 RPM) and 394 lb.-ft of torque (at 4,000 RPM). It pairs a fluid seven-speed automatic transmission with a robust RWD; and this ensures class-leading towing capabilities (up to 11,600 pounds of conventional trailering and 2,910 payload pounds) while on the backroads.
Alternative
The 5.0L Diesel V8 combines enhanced turbocharges with a potent 32-valve design to increase air intake levels. This allows it to deliver 310 HP (at 3,200 RPM) and 555 lb.-ft of torque (at 1,600 RPM). Its low redlines ensure optimum traction, with the truck quickly activating its high-range gear ratios on even the toughest terrains. This promotes stable control when hauling up to 11,280 pounds of conventional trailering and 2,710 pounds of payloads.Â
For drivers craving quick accelerations and best-in-class power the Endurance V8 will deliver superior results. The diesel option, however, offers value for long-haul commuters - embracing steady responses and smooth control.
