Miller alludes to the Titan’s V8 engine as being one that is produced at Nissan’s engine plant in Tennessee, which hints at the 5.6-liter V8 that powers the Infiniti QX80 with 400 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque. The Titan will also be available with a Cummin turbo-diesel engine in the form of a 5.0-liter V8 with around 300 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque.
