Playing around on Autotrader and decided to look up the Nissan Titan XD. I was a little surprised you can buy a XD with the diesel, 4x4 with 4 doors for under $40,000. And this isn’t just one truck. Bunch of these for sale right now. I know these aren’t the best looking trucks ever and brand loyalty and what not but I figured someone would be buying these for that price.

New or lightly used?

There just isn’t room in the market for Nissan.

I got to hammer on a couple of these last year at a test drive event. I came away impressed enough to consider buying one.

No one is buying these. They will only get cheaper.

Its a huge market, but Ford and GM dominate it. If they could just tap into it somehow, but it’s a loyal bunch.
Even between domestic manufacturers, I know Ford guys that would rather walk than drive a Silverado and vice versa.
Getting these people to drive a Toyota or Nissan truck is not the easiest thing. Even the Tundra, which has been on the market for so long, respected brand by so many, only sold 10,000 Tundras last month, Ford sold 75,000 F-Series in the same period. Not only that, but Ford is did that with the highest average transaction price and lowest incentives of all fullsize trucks.

I looked at these for a bit. Not much (if any) more capability than a half ton unfortunately. If it was a true 3/4 ton for that price it would be awesome, but alas it’s not.

The biggest problem with these is that they aren’t cheap enough relative to a comparable Ram 2500. With comparable trim levels and a dealer that wants to sell one, you can get the Ram with the bigger engine for at most $2-3k more.

IMHO Toyota should have done this instead of Nissan. I think there are more toyota truck customers who would fork out for something like this than there are Nissan customers. The tundra was a little ahead of the game when it hit its second generation, with a towing capacity approximately 1,500 lbs more than the F150 of the same year, 10,000 on the Tundra versus +/- 8,500 in the Ford. In essence it was a “5/8” Ton Truck from the start. Having a 3/4 Ton or 7/8 (because who gives a shit about that metric I guess) would’ve been a logical step forward.
That said, the 2017 F150 has now surpassed the tundra in the towing cap metric.

Absolutely, though I thought Toyota would be the one leading through innovation, but instead decided to follow the same formula the big 3 had done for decades.
Surprising that Ford is the one that decided to take the leap and innovate the full-size truck market. First with smaller displacement V6 turbos, then aluminum, start/stop, etc.
They are reaping the rewards now, for several months, Ford F-series (F150 & HDs) were outselling all six GM truck lines (Silverado & HD, Sierra & HD and Colorado & Canyon) combined. While offering the least incentives and highest average prices to boot!
In fact the Tundra is probably the most old school of the big 3 trucks in regards to innovation, fuel economy strategies, etc.

I think you’re probably right. They have single cab diesel 4x4’s listed for about $31,000. Only a matter of time before they drop below 30k.

You’re right. They sold a little over 4,000 last month with YTD sales of just under 40 thousand. Thats...sad.
