The question begs to be asked,,,,,what is DODGE doing about it?

They should give up and replace it with the cummins from the new titan.    Nissan probably has an exclusive deal though.   [/quote]I did some reading about the new Nissan Titan.  It seems that the MPG wasn't that great all things considered...which is disappointing.  If anyone has any contrary thoughts, I'd love to hear them.  The Titan/Cummins combo seemed really interesting at first glance.

From what I read, Nissan went for towing over milage, Dodge went the other way, milage over towing, the Cummins is a V8 vs the VM Moto V6.

Agreed.   Nissan is trying to blur the line between 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton capabilities for those who only tow recreationally on the weekend(RVs, boats, etc.) but don't need a huge truck he rest of the time rather than try to compete with the big 3 for the full time 3/4 ton business market (landscapers, construction,etc.)

If thats their game plan, it might fill a nitch, I have to pay a lot more for tolls because i have a 2500 truck, the TBA was ready to pull my easy pass once, I had gone from a 1500 to a 2500 tow vehicle and kept the same easy pass, they stopped me at the toll and told me I had to get the blue easy pass, as opposed to a white one...... I guess this might be greek to anyone not living on the east coast.

Note that currently the Titan is only offered in the "XD" package which will be their heavier duty option.    Next year they will have the Titan LT which will offer a soferter light duty suspension and smaller more fuel efficient engine options.

Just paint it blue. Problem solved.      Seriously I bet it would work if you found close to that blue color.    If you get caught I guess they might send you to Riker's island for life?         I'll be in NY next week (Niagare Falls)   camping at Evangola SP.
