Seems like all three small diesels aren't really made for big towing. That said, it's a more realistic 1/2 ton number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt1z Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Less tq then then the 6.2 and way less hp then the 5.3 or 6.2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift_grind Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Ford claimed something like 10 or 10.5k and multiple reviews said with a 6000lb trailer it didn't have the power to maintain speed on hills. So I'd say 7800 is probably realistic and Ford should be rated at 6000 or probably less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that list says the 6.2 is 425/450. That number was short lived and they announced 420/460. These leaks from GM are usually 95% accurate but they slightly over deliver. 2016 Camaro was leaked to have 440hp, it released with 455.

And will probably cost $4k more than the 5.3... These diesels just arent worth it in half ton segment. There is literally zero benefit. Unless the fuel economy numbers knock it outta the park, it will be a huge flop like the baby powerstroke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f8l vnm Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I have to assume the towing numbers are wrong. This should be able to tow 10k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but there is stil a small market for half ton diesels. Ford and gm saw dodge making decent sales and didn’t want to stand put anymore. Either way I agree half ton oil burners is not worth the money. The 2.8 Colorado duramax tows 7700. This 7800 can’t be true.

I'm wondering if I should hold out for this engine. I bet it performs great, I like the idea of forced induction and high torque while hauling through the high mountain elevations I frequent.

Black02Silverado Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Only time will tell when the official ratings come out. To me if you want a reliable 1/2 ton diesel the Nissan would get my vote due to it having a Cummins in it. Not sure about the rest of the truck but the engine would be bullet proof. It is 310hp and 555lb-ft torque. Not trying to sell one but has anyone tried to build a Titan? So many different options and configurations. GM could take a lesson from this. Kind of a confusing mess but then you can pick or choose and not have to settle for a package you don't want just to get an option only in that package so to speak. Model: 2018 Nissan Titan XD Torque: 555 lb-ft MSRP: From $46,450 Towing capacity: 12,030 to 12,310 lbs Transmission: 6-speed automatic Bed length: 78 to 79.2″ Payload: 1,850 to 1,975 lbs Edited October 3, 2018 by Black02Silverado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra Dan Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 The 3.0 Diesel is clearly not made for towing, but rather fuel economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newdude Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hmmm...this could be what gets me out of my Colorado Diesel. Couple things I hope they don't screw up. Better not have electric cooling fans. Better have the exhaust brake on a separate button from the tow/haul function (Colorado has them on the same button). I'm not mad at the towing rating, if anything it might be smartly under-rated. This will definitely have a higher payload than the Colorado diesel, sounds like it will get about the same mpg, has a 3 gallon larger tank too.
