It's doomed to fail unless they put in a fuel efficient V6 or small diesel. Today's V6's are more powerful and efficient than the V8's from 10-15 years ago, and let's face it, most pickup buyers don't need a V8.
Look at how well the Ford Eco's, Ram Ecodiesels and V6 GM trucks are selling.
On the other hand, a lot of pickup buyers are nuts and think they 'need' a giant truck with insane towing capacities, when the most they ever do is move a sofa or tow a jet-ski lol.
They will have the 5.6 V8, the 5.0 Cummins turbo diesel and a V6 model of this truck. I don't think the truck looks terrible myself. I've seen a few with a lift kit and I thought they looked pretty nice.
"Regular cab Titans come with an eight-foot bed, two trim lines, and a choice of engines — a 5.6-liter gasoline V8 or the 5.0-liter Cummins turbo diesel V8. A V6 will follow at a later date. Gas models get a seven-speed automatic transmission, while diesel versions receive a six-speed unit. The wheelbase is about a foot shorter than Crew Cab versions."
