Nissan is firing up the diesel-powered rumor mill again. Soon after years of teasing a Cummins/Nissan truck hookup that in no way seems to come to fruition, the maker took to the Twittersphere today with an image that strongly suggests the 2 have been busy acquiring busy.
Featuring the official logos of both Cummins and Nissan, the image is accompanied by the intentionally provocative and viral-prepared hashtag #CUMMINSSOON. (Note: The 1st ‘s’ is crucial if you hope to apply it to the appropriate subject.)

You do not need to be Freud to figure that 1 out. Or maybe you do. Whatever the case, this on-again/off-once more partnership has been going on considering that Nissan told us they have been taking into consideration a diesel for the Titan back in 2008. Of course at that time, the new Titan was slated to be a badge-engineered version of the Ram, and Chrysler’s bankruptcy quite considerably squashed those plans, leaving Nissan with an aging Titan to nurse till a new model could be readied.
Rapidly forward to 2013, when it shared some details on a 5.-liter Cummins V-8 turbo-diesel mill that is most likely the basis for the engine that will in the end see the light of day in the Titan. (Just a handful of months ago, Nissan let us drive a Frontier powered by a 2.8-liter Cummins V-6 turbo-diesel, also.) Given the “soon” element of the hashtag, had been figuring the oil-burner will show up on the 2016 Titan, which is due quickly and likely will be a heavily re-worked version of the current truck.
Apparently the union is not exclusive, as rumors indicate that this engine could discover it’s way under the hood of the Toyota Tundra as effectively. But with the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel winning fans and posting impressive efficiency numbers, the time is proper. Let’s just hope the diesel Titan delivers.
