What you’re looking at is a diesel powered Nissan Frontier. For now, it is not a production model, but Nissan is apparently studying it for production. Like its big brother, the next-gen Nissan Titan, there is a Cummins diesel, but it’s a 4-cylinder, not a V8. Displacing 2.8L and putting down an estimated 200 horsepower and 350 lb-ft, the Frontier uses a ZF 8-speed automatic to put power to the ground.

I'd buy one of these.
10/10 would buy. But only if they'll man up and let me have a proper three-pedal version.
I think RAM is really going to regret not using a Cummins diesel in their non-HD line.
If I am not mistaken this would then be the only diesel mid-size truck in the US market! I like the Frontier. I had a look at a new one in a parking lot. Good size, good space inside the cab and it looked good. if I was in the market for a truck it would be on the list. My list would include mid-size, 4X4, double cab and preferably diesel... actually only diesel. The torque profile of a diesel in a truck makes so much more sense to me.
