If they were they would not be looking at building their new commercial truck/van with the Cummins in it.
While many people may not be going from a Titan to a Titan, I just went from a Frontier to a Titan this week.

That is exactly the type of thing Toyota was/is trying to do with the Tundra. Give their happy Tacoma customers a larger option when they found the need. To a large extent I think it worked as the Tundra's sold pretty well out of that gate and are still sellig over 100,0000 units a year. I am sure Nissan also had the same idea. The only issue is that the Frontier sells nowhere close to the volume of the Tacoma. In fact Frontier and Titan sales are pretty even.
Congrats on the new Titan BTW!

I did my part in supporting Mexico. I bought an 09 Dodge Ram 3500. I hope Cummins is made in America.
