Default 2015 F150 contender the 2016 Turbo Diesel TITAN

Just now happen to see the new 2016 Titan. Looks GREAT!
Definitely impressed. Now lets see whats under the hood. Info about to be released in few hours.

What do you guys think?

Wouldn't consider with diesel currently ~ $1 more per gallon...

That could possible be the only downfall to the half ton diesels.

Looks like a Dodge Ram. Would never consider a diesel in a half ton truck.

If have to see it in different configurations, in those pics, it's not that appealing visually. If rather have the 5 liter Diesel than the Dodge Ecodiesel, but like mentioned, it'd take a lot to sway me just because of the cost per mile.

Seems odd to me that it can to up to 12K lbs - with the diesel I'd expect it to tow a little more, say 14 or so. Considering that a properly equipped F150 can tow 12K.. Nice looking truck though.

Not a huge fan of the design. Kind of all over the place. The front has a minivan resemblance as well. I'll wait for real world photos. After the nightmares my dad went through with 2 titans, I wouldn't touch one

I like the rear, but the front end/fender/front door just looks all over the place to me. My family has actually had great luck with Nissans, so I would think it will be a quality truck, but it's not for me.

Considering my wife just had her 2013 all new pathfinder repurchased under the lemon law, with thousands of complaints right behind hers, there is no way I would repurchase a Nissan vehicle, especially a first year model. They have really gone downhill since purchased by Renault. They are not the same company they were 10 years ago.
