Innovation that excites? I don't see anything exciting

Only nice thing about it was Cummins spent a decade developing a v8 diesel for a half ton and Fiat which newly acquired Dodge wouldn't let them have it. So Nissan had to quickly throw together a truck to get the engine.

nice last gen f150 op
how hard is develop a 150% upscale hardbody, call it titan and be done with it?

>>16099838
Cummins got tired of their wasted potential engines going into garbage american trucks. They finally said fuck it and let nissan use it so a good truck can use the engine

Here's an article about the development before Nissan was even on the map.

I do like the hardbody. That is something to get excited about.

So far, I've only seen 2 of these on the road. I know it's costly as fuck, but granted I've seen more expensive pickups on the road where I live than I've seen affordable ones..

>>16101024
Really, it's not that expensive when you compare it to the other diesel 1/2 ton. It's pretty comparable to the diesel Ram in terms of price

>>16099838
If it was SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper it would be awesome. But I'm not going to buy a $60k Titan. But to be fair to Nissan, similarly optioned and powerful trucks, cost as much or more.

>base 4x4 with diesel
>$54k
Why 4x4? WAYYYYY better re-sell value later.
Remove 4x4 it's still a cloth interior for
>$43k

>>16101080
I thought the base 4x4 diesel MSRPs at $41,500?

>>16101117
$45,500 base 4x4 diesel with NO options. If you go to nissan and build it with nothing extra clicked. The SV is $54k with only adding leather. Which I would prefer on a work truck since mud and dirt is a BITCH to get out of cloth and it has shit re-sale value.

WHY DO ALL TRUCKS LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME NOW
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>16101117
It's raised since the last time I checked pre gas motor option.
>>16101142
I managed $44,370. That's hardly a $60k truck, and $56k with no options. Which is apt for what it is.
If you're using it as a work truck, I'd suggest canvas seat covers. They're a hell of a lot more impervious than a leather option.

>>16101149
They look similar in the same way all trucks from 1976 looked similar.

>>16101149
Older trucks from the 20th century looks identical to each other also

>>16101162
>even considering a base model truck
>enjoy your 70% depreciation in 5 years.

>>16101149
the same way normies all look different
