Epic Nissan Fail: What Went Wrong With The Titan XD Cummins Diesel?

In 2020, and to everyone's surprise, Nissan discontinued the Cummins diesel engine on the Titan – here's why. In 2019, Nissan made headlines when it announced its plans to discontinue the Titan XD along with the Cummins diesel engine for the 2020 model year. This came as a shock for Nissan enthusiasts, mainly because the truck along with the unique diesel engine was only introduced in 2015. The Cummins 5.0-liter V8 turbo diesel engine was first offered as an option on the 2016 Nissan Titan XD and generated 310 horsepower and 555 lb-ft of torque. The powertrain would have been a sure hit with eco-conscious consumers, as it achieved near-zero oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions. As well, Nissan offered the engine with an advanced ceramic glow plug system that kept it from freezing up, even in winter. Sadly, its sudden demise means we're left to rue at what might have been if it had a long, successful run. Here, we detail how a promising powertrain ended up being a disappointment.
