Does anyone have experience with these trucks? Specifically the 5.0 turbo Cummins? I don't know of anyone that owns one, so I'd love to hear of any thoughts experiences with them...I'm casually in the truck market...and I don't tow enough to warrant a 3/4 or 1 ton truck...but I like the diesel engine, so this seems to fit the bill.
The other truck I'm considering is the F150 with the eco-boost.
I mostly tow a trailer with 2 or 3 bikes on it (behind my 04 VW golf TDI)...but as soon as I get a truck I'll be getting an dual axel enclosed trailer...and then eventually a smallish toy hauler.

Haven't even sat in one and I'm a little bit worried that it would be small, but I'd like to have something that can fit into tighter spaces on the farm than my Silverado does. I've got another Silverado, a 2500HD with 105K on it for hauling larger things, but I haul just enough with my gas Silverado that the little diesel sounds interesting to me.
Just not sure how those smaller cabs are for a guy who's 6'5.......
I hope Nissan has done a better job researching a diesel, but maybe you should wait a year or so?
Personally I think the Gas is a better value and 5 yr 100K bumper to bumper is a good selling point.

my eco pulls like crazy, i had the V8 150 and it was a turd compared to my eco.
Titan, i pulled a 16' trailer with 4 passengers and 8 bikes/gear/gas to Laughlin, NV and back and was around 10-11 mpg. not great but not horrible. i should also mention that i averaged 80-85 mph the entire trip and power on the hills was never an issue. there are also tune programmers available if you're interested in customizable efficiency.
and yeah, the Nissan diesel is almost as ugly as the Ridgeline
They are ugly...but I'm a bit more interested in performance than looks, and thought that diesel looked pretty good.
Thanks again!
