[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 2751109, member: 2189"] Nissan already builds a truck (Titan) that comes with a Cummins 5.0 V8 Diesel. The Benz engine used in the Sprinter might be a nice fit but didn't work that well for us. We had some at our facility in which they gathered data and one thing they were looking at was the engine wasn't getting the mileage as expected. It was finally discovered that the way we load down vehicles, in the case of the Sprinter engine, it was forced to run at 95% just to roll down the road and under those conditions, no way would it get the fuel mileage expected. Now in a smaller urban or more rural area where the vehicle wasn't demanded to hold 120% of cargo capacity day in and day out, I bet they work great. [/QUOTE]
