The new engine is a turbocharged 5.0 litre V8 rated at over 300 hp, with torque around 550 lb-ft. The engine meets the applicable emission regulations using a diesel particulate filter and a selective catalytic reduction system from Cummins Emission Solutions. The new Titan pickup will be competing with the Chrysler 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, powered by a 3.0 litre V6 diesel engine from VM Motori. Cummins continues to supply diesel engines for Chrysler heavy-duty pickup trucks. A version of the Cummins V8 Turbo Diesel also will be available to other commercial vehicle customers amid rumours of Toyota using it in future American market pickups.
