Off-road performance has just received a diesel upgrade - with Nissan delivering the 2018 Titan XD to the Washington market. This heavy-duty platform promises class-leading capability, reveling in its ever-surging redline (3,200 RPM); and it proves deft with each mile, introducing drivers to pure V8 power.
Are you ready, Everett?
As the Sentinel Source explains, the 2018 Titan XD has been engineered to impress. Anchored by a 5.0L Cummins V8 engine, this diesel platform generates 310 HP and 555 lb.-ft of torque. Turbochargers growl beneath its hood, providing two-stage capability (this helps to stabilize the redline and promote a fluid acceleration); while ceramic glow plugs conduct currents at optimal ratios to ensure a seamless ignition sequence. Piezo-style injectors maintain proper fuel levels; and an advanced particulate filter strips away corrosive materials to create a stronger, cleaner air flow.
To further enhance the off-road experience, Nissan pairs this platform with a six-speed Aisin automatic transmission - which boasts a low-to-high gear range that promotes superior towing. This allows the Titan to seamlessly accommodate heavy loads, utilizing transfer case technology to ensure more than 12,000 pounds of conventional trailering. No other diesel truck can compare.
