It’s not easy to classify the all-new ’16 Nissan Titan XD, but that could end up being its best selling point.

Technically, it’s a ¾-ton truck (if you go by the expected GVWR), but Nissan is positioning it in the ½-ton space. With a 5.0L V-8 Cummins engine making 310 hp and 555 lb-ft of torque and a frame that’s stronger than the conventional ½-ton Titan models, the XD seems to straddle the ½-ton and ¾-ton designations. With the power to tow more than 12,000 pounds along with the effciency of a diesel engine, this could end up being the ’tweener model that customers who are torn between a V-8 gas-powered ½-ton or a diesel-powered ¾-ton have been waiting for. Nissan says it noticed a hole in the market with 150,000 truck buyers each year who are forced to decide between one or the other.
